AT FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY<br \/>\nREPORT BY TOM STOUP, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p><strong>WARM-UP MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(A) Donovik Dijakovic pinned Dan Matha<\/strong>. Dijakovic won with a big boot.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>William Regal entered to announce progress with the Aleister Black investigation, but was interrupted by the Undisputed Era. Adam Cole, Kyle O\u2019Reilly, and Roderick Strong said Regal should be more concerned with protecting his tag team champions from the \u201ccosplay vikings\u201d the War Raiders. Cole got in Regal\u2019s face and demanded his contractual North American Championship rematch. Regal said it would not be fair to give Cole an immediate rematch due to the interference in the title for title match, and announced that Cole will compete in a triple threat against Ricochet and Pete Dunne for the North American title in two weeks, and in three weeks O\u2019Reilly and Strong would defend their titles against the War Raiders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) Lars Sullivan defeated Victor Orchant via disqualification.<\/strong>Orchant smirked knowingly at the crowd before Sullivan entered. Sullivan hurled Orchant around before ECIII interfered and cleared Sullivan from the ring. Sullivan grinned as he backed up the ramp. ECIII threw his button-up to a fan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) The Mighty defeated Street Profits via pinfall.<\/strong>The Mighty entered with Montez Ford\u2019s cup and chains, mocking the Profits\u2019 dance moves. The Profits entered with none of their usual frills, and took it to their foes quickly and furiously. Ford caught his leg in the ring steps and fell prone to Nick Miller\u2019s onslaught. Shane Thorne caught Ford\u2019s hurt leg in a leverage pinning predicament as Miller held Angelo Dawkins\u2019 away from breaking it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Kairi Sane pinned Vanessa Borne.<\/strong>Borne mocked Sane, and stomped on Sane\u2019s hat. Sane achieved victory with an Insane Elbow.<\/p>\n<p>Shayna Baszler confronted Sane and officially invoked the rematch clause. Sane very slickly snagged her own microphone from a member of the ring crew and agreed to have the match at WWE Evolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) Tommaso Ciampa pinned Otis Dozovic.<\/strong>Dozovic widely overpowered Ciampa for a surprising extent of the proceedings. Ciampa cowered on the outside as Dozovic did the Caterpillar, then Ciampa threw Dozovic down to the steel ramp to gain a brief upper hand. Ciampa tried to walk out but Tucker Knight appeared and corralled him back to the ring. Ciampa shielded himself with official Jessika Carr, but couldn\u2019t get the bulky Dozovic up for a finish. Ciampa finally caught Dozovic in a Hangman DDT for three. Dozovic and Knight embraced in the ring as Ciampa exited, waving bye bye.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3128606218\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(5) Lacey Evans pinned Candice LeRae.<\/strong>LeRae, wearing black cheetah print, entered with a new theme and a greyscale tron graphic. Evans did pushups with LeRae caught in a head scissors hold. LeRae lost her cool when Evans accused her of being \u201cjust like [her] husband,\u201d and fell to the Woman\u2019s Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) The Forgotten Sons defeated Terry Kirsh &amp; Vinny Mixon &amp; Caesar Rise via pinfall.<\/strong>Steve Cutler wore a protective mask. Jaxson Ryker picked up the pinfall after a slingshot powerbomb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) Johnny Gargano submitted Tony Nese.<\/strong>Gargano entered with a spring in his step. He rallied against both a resilient Nese and dueling \u201cJohnny Wrestling\u201d\/\u201dJohnny Failure\u201d chants. Nese rolled through a Gargano Escape attempt and chucked Gargano in to the second rope at an awkward angle. Gargano kicked out of a top rope 450. Nese finally tapped to the Gargano Escape. Gargano held up a young fan\u2019s \u201cJohnny Wrestling\u201d sign to the hard cam, and high-fived other kids in the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla Braxton reminded the crowd of the previously announced title matches, and announced Bianca Belair vs. Nikki Cross as well as ECIII vs. Lars Sullivan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(8) Lars Sullivan pinned ECIII.<\/strong>ECIII came in hot, repeatedly slamming Sullivan against the ring steps. As the two bombarded one another in the ring, Sullivan inadvertently spewed saliva on a young girl in the crowd. Sullivan won with a falling headbutt from the top rope after delivering what might have been considered a Freak Accident to the ring apron.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>After making his way to the ring Tommaso Ciampa lauded his new theme, and cut a promo that echoed a recent Shayna Baszler sentiment, calling Velveteen Dream the one obligatory sheep who just has to stray from the flock. Dream interjected, saying the NXT Championship deserves a real experience, not a guilt trip from an angry little bald man. Ciampa said the title belt told him maybe Dream just isn\u2019t \u201cTough Enough.\u201d Ciampa said Dream needs to \u201cbe a man,\u201d and Dream said he\u2019s more man than Ciampa can handle. Nikki Cross entered, and tickled the confused Ciampa and Dream. A certain PW Torch correspondent may have started a \u201ctriple threat\u201d chant. Nikki said to Ciampa, \u201cI know what you did, too.\u201d Dream exited while making an \u201cI\u2019m watching you\u201d signal to the champ.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(9) Keith Lee pinned Kona Reeves.<\/strong>The cocky Reeves jawed at the big man but fell to a Jackhammer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(10) War Raiders defeated Kyle O\u2019Reilly &amp; Roderick Strong via disqualification in a NXT Tag Team Championship match.<\/strong>O\u2019Reilly and Strong isolated Rowe before Hanson got the hot tag and cleared house. Adam Cole ran in but was stopped dead in his tracks and dumped out by Hanson. Hanson dropped Strong on O\u2019Reilly to break up a submission hold. Bobby Fish charged in at a critical moment and vigorously went at the War Raiders with a chair, playing in to the resulting babyface reaction. As off-camera officials routinely instructed the celebrating quartet of Undisputed Era to end the segment, Fish belittled them, then spat on the Raiders as he left.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2063175766\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(11) Shayna Baszler defeated Britt Baker via referee stoppage.<\/strong>Baszler almost immediately stomped on Baker\u2019s shoulder and Baker could not continue. Baszler briefly attacked Baker after the decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(12) Oney Lorcan &amp; Danny Burch pinned Tian Bing &amp; Rocky Han.<\/strong>Lorcan pinned Han after an assisted Hangman DDT.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla Braxton announced a \u201cloudest fan\u201d contest for an Undisputed Era t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(13) Bianca Belair and Nikki Cross wrestled to a no contest.<\/strong>After the highly competitive match reached a crescendo with a superplex, the lights went out. The opening note of Aleister Black\u2019s theme ominously sounded. When the lights returned, Belair was gone and Black himself was seated in her place. Black and Cross stared at one another for a long time, then Cross whispered something to in Black&#8217;s ear. Black vibrated with rage, then stormed up the ramp.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Borash awarded the shirt to a young Nikki Cross fan.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(14) Ricochet defeated Adam Cole and Pete Dunne via pinfall in a triple threat match to retain the NXT North American Championship.<\/strong>Dunne and Ricochet continually teamed up on Cole while antagonizing one another. Ricochet went for a springboard moonsault and both Cole and Dunne kicked him in midair. Ricochet hit a double hurricanrana on Cole and Dunne off the top turnbuckle. Cole hit finishers on both Dunne and Ricochet, but Dunne kicked out of the subsequent pinfall attempt. Dunne retaliated with a Bitter End to Cole, but Ricochet broke up the fall with a springboard 450 and pinned Dunne.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS ARTICLE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/09\/06\/nxt-tracker-dakota-kai-assessing-and-predicting-the-prospects-of-nxt-wrestlers-main-roster-future\/\">NXT TRACKER \u2013 DAKOTA KAI: Assessing and predicting the prospects of NXT wrestlers\u2019 main roster future<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-160327996\"><div id=\"pwtor-2451444102\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>NXT TV TAPING REPORT SEPTEMBER 20, 2018 TAPED IN ORLANDO, FLA.
