NXT was in Lakeland tonight with an attendance of 200 people.

– Heavy Machinery defeated The Bollywood Boyz

The big boys threw around the Bollywood Boyz and did a belly squish to finish the match.

– Tino Sabbatelli (w/ Riddick Moss) defeated Adrian Jaoude

There was a lot of heel comedy by Moss at ringside along with Sabbatelli in the ring. Jaoude had the advantage most of the match before a distraction by Moss and a hold-up into an elbow drop by Sabbatelli for the finish.

– Buddy Murphy defeated Dan Matha

Murphy has new music and works as an underdog fiery babyface. Matha kept control most of the match, with a few flashy hope spots by Murphy. Murphy hit a great looking missile dropkick and was able to roll Matha up for the victory.

– Ember Moon & Aliyah defeated Kimber Lee & Mandy Rose

Moon hit a side slam (which she’s been using lately when not utilizing the Eclipse) on Kimber Lee for the win.

– Gran Metalik defeated Tony Nese

There was amazing stuff from both competitors in this match, with Metalik doing a tightrope walk splash and hitting the Metalik Driver for the win.

– Ruby Riot defeated Daria Berenato

Berenato kept control most of the match until Riot fired up and hit her up-kick finish.

– NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain defeated Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins

AOP kept the advantage early, then Dawkins took a hot tag and ran wild. He got cut off by the Authors and the champions double teamed him with the hold-up lariat for the win. The Authors tried to rough up Ford and Dawkins after the match, but the faces fought them off and danced to send us home happy.
