WWE NXT TV Results for May 25, 2016
Venue: Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL
- The show opened with The NXT General Manager William Regal in his office. Regal’s initial idea was to have Bayley face Asuka for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT TakeOver on June 8th. However, Bayley is hurt after last week’s match with Nia Jax.
So tonight’s main event will feature Carmella, Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax in a Triple Threat match to determine a number one contender for the NXT Women’s Title.
- Now we head into the first official match of the night.
This match features the debut of the Aussie Tag Team, which has proven their worth all across the globe, named TMDK (The Mighty Don’t Kneel).
Now in WWE, they will be billed as TM-61.
Tag Team Match: ‘The Psycho Killer’ Tommaso Ciampa and ‘Johnny Wrestling’ Johnny Gargano vs TM-61 (Shane Thorne and Nick Miller)
Nick Miller and Tomasso Ciampa start out in this match. Both men try to ground one another via grapping but neither of them have success in gaining the upper hand. Miller wins the exchange with a shoulder block and then both the competitors tag out to their respective partners.
Shane flips out of a Gargano wrist lock and then grounds him with a snapmare and a dropkick. Miller tags in and stomps Gargano. TM-61 hit a double team move on Gargano. Ciampa is tagged in, which results in him getting chopped down. TM-61 hit a nice fistdrop/moonsault combo move, followed up by a tease of a Tope Suicida on Gargano.
Now we are back from the break, to see Gargano spike Shane with a dropkick of his own, before a legsweep and a modified version of a full nelson slam. Ciampa comes in and destroys Thorne with a hard chop. Thorne manages to nail a dropkick on Ciampa, and both men are down. TM-61 hit a neckbreaker combo move on Ciampa and go for a count but Gargano manages to break it up within the nick of time.
And then Gargano takes out Miller with a super kick which sends Miller to the outside and then follows it with a crazy Tope Suicida to the outside to ground Miller. Ciampa hits Shane with a big knee in the corner, and then Gargano and Ciampa hit Shane with a running knee/superkick combo move for the one-two-three.
Official Result: Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa won via pinfall
