Here's what you need to know about NXT:

-They have a champion, it's Big E. Langston, who defeated Seth Rollins for the title on January 10. The show was taped after The Shield debuted at Survivor Series, but before Big debuted on Raw. Big originally refused to go to Raw when Vickie Guerrero offered him a spot, but did go to Raw once AJ lost power. Go figure.

-They also have Tag Team Champions, Oliver Grey and Adrian Neville. They won the belts in a tournament, which concluded February 14 when they defeated The Wyatt Family.

-Dusty Rhodes is the Authority Figure, but his job title seems to change from week to week.

-The insanely popular Paige, Emma, Audrey Marie and the love of my life, Sasha Banks were the only four NXT Diva's until February 7 when ring announcer Summer Rae (not Summer Rain) attacked Paige.

-Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Rowan (Husky Harris, Brodie Lee and Erick Rowan) have formed a weird family, called simply The Wyatt Family.

-Kassius Ohno and Leo Kruger have formed an alliance and seemed determined to get William Regal to drop the headset and get in the ring.

And that's everything you need to know about NXT. (Now we know!) (And knowing is half the battle) (G.I. Joe!)

-Tom Phillips replaces Tony Dawson this week. Of course he wasn't much better than Tony. For instance...

Tom: What do you think El Local (Low-Cal) means?

William: It obviously means The Local, it's right there.

(Audrey Marie is pulling Sasha Banks' arms behind her back)

Tom: Tell the audience what that does right there.

William: If you need me to explain to you what that does, you shouldn't be sitting next to me.

1.) Bray Wyatt (w/The Family) defeated Yoshi Tatsu in 1:35. This is Bray's first tv match since July, when he went down with a knee injury. Bray dropped Yoshi 31 seconds into the match with a Samoa Joe-esque uranage. After a corner splash, Bray finished off Yoshi with an STO after kissing his forehead. Bray cradled Yoshi during the fall.

-After the match Bray ordered his men into the ring and forced them to watch footage of their loss last week to Neville and Gray. Bray wondered how they could let Bray down after everything he did for them. Bray asked Rowan how it felt that his brother cost him the NXT Tag Titles. Bray ordered Rowan to hit Luke, which he did.

Bray then told Luke to hit Rowan, which Luke did. Luke and Rowan kept punching one another, before Bray stopped it. They couldn't have put two better people with Bray Wyatt. I just hope WWE doesn't fuck it up when they call these men up.

-To the back where Renee Young is with the love of my life, Sasha Banks. Sasha is excited to find out who her secret admirer is. Sasha receives an envelope which said her secret admirer was right behind her. Before she could even turn around she was attacked from behind! But by who?

It was....Audrey Marie! Audrey had been off injured apparently and she told Sasha to stay out of her way.

-To a different part of the back where Daniel Bryan told us not to copy what they do in the ring. NO!

-6 weeks until WrestleMania!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.) Xavier Woods pinned El Local in 4:38. Xavier is former TNA Tag Team Champion Consequences Creed who, for some reason, is stuck in the 1990's. I don't mean that to sound like a dick. I say it because that is his character. William said that despite the mask, you can tell that El Local is dreadfully ugly. Something tells me that Local would make an excellent Spanish ring announcer for someone on the main roster. Local shows his great Luchadore background by doing all ground work. I haven't watched much Lucha in my life, but I don't recall 3 minutes of rest holds. Xavier picked up the win with a Tornado DDT.

In case you don't know, Local is Ricardo Rodriguez under a mask.

-Back to the back where Renee Young is talking to Dr. Michael Sampson, who is the physician for Paige, whose shoulder was hurt by Summer Rae. Doc said that Paige isn't ready to get back in the ring, but will be re-evaluated in a few days.

-For some reason we got a CM Punk video package. Hey, any excuse for some Living Colour is okay by me.

3.) Sasha's Secret Admirer Emerson Witner...I mean Audrey Marie pinned The Love Of My Life, Sasha Banks in 2:04. Despite being a heel about 5 minutes ago, Audrey played baby face to the crowd, which made the fans not react to my love. Apparently Sasha Banks is Snoop Dogg's favorite Diva. Well he has good taste. There was nothing to this match and Audrey pinned my girl in two minutes with her wacky finisher.

-Back to the back to the back where Renee Young is interviewing former ring announcer Summer Rae. Summer does not feel bad about injuring Paige last week. Her only regret is she broke her nail while slapping Paige. Summer is looking to become the greatest WWE Diva of all time. Summer is now referred to as The First Lady of NXT.

-Renee Young is in another part of the arena as she talks to the fans of Qatar about shows that are happening this weekend. Apparently the main event for the shows were John Cena and Ryback vs CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler. I wonder who won that match.

-To the ring where the injured Tyson Kidd is introduced to the arena. Sadly the man I thought would be getting a giant push in 2013 got a giant push into the injured reserve. Tyson hobbled into the ring and gave an interview about not being able to wait until he can return to the ring.

Tony Dawson told us that “for those who do not know” Tyson was injured and had major surgery. The man hobbled out on crutches with his entire leg in a brace. I think most people put two and two together.

The interview now turns to.....CM Punk. A month or so ago Punk made a comment about Tyson on tv and Kidd said that he goes out every week and is the absolute best he can be.

This brings out Leo Kruger who said simply that he will end Tyson's career. Like a wounded animal, Tyson is weak and vulnerable. Leo got into the ring and kicked at Tyson's good knee. Tyson's “long time partner” Justin Gabriel made the save. I know I have said this before, but Kidd and Gabriel's first match as a team was at WrestleMania 28 where Gabriel was injured and out for two months. But hey. 11 months is a long time!

-It was Kofi Kingston's turn to do a Don't Try This At Home video. 

4.) In a special challenge match, NXT Champion Big E. Langston went to a Double Disqualification with Conor O'Brien in 8:03. Sadly we no longer live in an alternate universe and it is acknowledged that Big is on Raw as a heel while here as a baby face. This match was by far the longest of the NXT career of Big. They had a strongman match, even though you wouldn't normally think of Conor as a strong man. Remember when he was trying to usher in the Rattitude Era? Conor got the heat when Big missed a corner charge and went crashing shoulder-first into the post. Sadly Conor is quite boring as a single. Why did Kenneth Cameron have to fuck up? Conor got a 2 count off of a full nelson slam. Big fought out of the Developmental Chinlock and went on a rampage. They exchanged punches in the corner. The referee tried on several occasions to break them up, but they finally shoved him to the mat and he threw the match out.

Big and Conor continued to fight afterwards, with Big sending Conor packing...but from behind comes Corey Graves! Graves stole the NXT Title and ran off! Graves wants the championship!

See ya next week!
