Tonight on NXT, the New Day look to earn another championship shot when they take on the Dirty Heels, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries. The Breaker of Bones, Pentagon Dark will look to contribute another sacrifice to his master. In the main event, it's a massive encounter between Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe, with the winner earning a NXT Championship Match at Takeover: London.

The New Day vs The Dirty Heels

William Regal promised the winner of this match a NXT Tag Team Title shot at Takeover: London, and both teams looked to impress. It was Big E and Xavier Woods representing the New Day in this match, and they controlled the pace early. Big E's power was something that Roode and Aries simply couldn't handle, but they got their opening when Xavier demanded to be tagged in. Roode capitalized, driving Xavier into the mat with an awesome Spinebuster to pick up the win, and earn a shot at Gallows and Anderson at Takeover: London.

Winners: The Dirty Heels


Pentagon Dark vs Bo Dallas

The Inspirational One looked ready to earn his keep on NXT, but then ran right into the buzzsaw known as Pentagon Dark. Pentagon destroyed Bo, who looked very unhappy to have ever gotten into this situation. It was only going to get worse, as Pentagon once more provided The Sacrifice to his master, snapping Bo's arm and forcing the official to step in and call off the match.

Winner: Pentagon Dark


Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe- NXT Championship #1 Contender's Match

A very peeved Samoa Joe had Daniel Bryan in his crosshairs, and the Samoan Submission Machine had no care for the opportunity on the line in this match. Bryan used his speed and technical expertise to hang in it, but Joe's power and pure physical presence quickly took over. They brawled to the outside, Joe determined to send a message to the NXT Champion Bad News Barrett, smashing Bryan off everything in sight. In an impressive show of strength, he lifted Bryan right off his feet and smashed his through a ringside barricade. Whilst this was going on, however, the official was counting both men out, and with neither man able to re-enter the ring, the match finished in a very disappointing double count-out.

After the match, NXT GM William Regal made his way to the ring. He was unwilling to accept this result, as he still needs a main event for Takeover: London. Regal declared that he has full confidence that his champion, Bad News Barrett, can defeat all challengers. And that's exactly what he's going to do, because at Takeover: London, it will be Barrett, Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match for the NXT Championship! Barrett, who was not in the building, must be floored by this announcement, which puts his newly-won title in the most jeopardy possible.

Draw


Current NXT Takeover: London Card:

Bad News Barrett(c) vs Samoa Joe vs Daniel Bryan- NXT Championship Match
Neville(c) vs Sami Zayn- European Title Match

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
