WWE NXT Results (May 13th, 2020): Winners, Grades, and Video Highlights

Thank you for following along, everyone! I hope you're all staying safe and healthy. I will see you all next week!

Matt Riddle defeats Timothy Thatcher
Kayden Carter defeats Aliyah
Jack Gallagher defeats Isiah "Swerve" Scott
Cameron Grimes defeats Finn Balor
Jake Atlas defeats Tony Nese
Tegan Nox defeats Indi Hartwell
Imperium defeat Riddle & Thatcher to win the NXT Tag Team Titles

Well... that was a pretty decent episode. The "big announcement" wasn't really anything spectacular though, as a 40-something, the nostalgia for the In Your House PPVs is a little appealing for me. But, let's get the match results.....

And the show ends with Thatcher holding Riddle in that armbar. Riddle is in agony!

Thatcher goes nuts and attacks Riddle after the bell!

Thatcher has Riddle in a leglock, but Riddle rolls him up and GETS THE PIN!

RESULT: Matt Riddle defeats Timothy Thatcher

Thatcher gets the Fujiwara Armbar on Riddle! Riddle gets out and we get a series of some pretty badass chain wrestling.

RIDDLE WITH A GO TO SLEEP! NICE!

How @SuperKingofBros' tone has changed.

After the break, we see that Thatcher was basically trying to rip Riddle's leg off his body. Which is probably a good strategy, really.

The #NXTCruiserweight Championship Tournament continues next week as @hijodelfantasma takes on @TozawaAkira AND @WWEMaverick battles @KUSHIDA_0904!

And, ready for this?

ALSO NEXT WEEK, @RheaRipley_WWE returns to action against the one and only @shirai_io! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/hPU9jNJiq7

Riddle kicks Thatcher in the head Muy Thai-style so hard that it knocks the show into a commercial.

Lots of mat wrestling and MMA-style action between the two to start this one.

Well... we're getting Timothy Thatcher vs Matt Riddle already.

.@JohnnyGargano & @CandiceLeRae on @KacyCatanzaro:

"She's a ninja." "She's not a ninja."

"She's a warrior." "She's not a warrior."

Carter gets a submission hold on Aliyah and GETS THE WIN

RESULT: Kayden Carter defeats Aliyah

Alyiah gets the upper hand and... here comes Robert Stone to watch the action.

Carter has the upper hand as she yanks on Aliyah's leg, while Mauro makes a pretty funny joke relating to the sponsor of the match, Geico Insurance.

Never change, Mauro. Never ever ever change.

Will we see Aliyah join the Robert Stone Brand tonight?

UP NEXT: @wwekayden goes one-on-one with @WWE_Aliyah! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/GBoInvorVh

Sadly, I missed that first part because my daughter didn't like the Nickelodeon show she was watching and I had to fix it.

Sorry, everybody.

There was also this....

Jack has had complete control during this entire match and then.... MAN, he absolutely DESTROYED Scott in this match!

RESULT: Jack Gallagher defeats Isiah "Swerve" Scott

Gallagher is taking on Isiah Scott and NEARLY gets the quick victory but "Swerve" gets his foot on the ropes to break up the count.

Wait.... Jack Gallagher is from Manchester? How did they not saddle him with an Oasis gimmick?

Before our next match, we get a vignette about WWE's partnership with Make-A-Wish.

No joke here.

Looks like Priest is the one who attacked Balor last week.

Priest is back in and hits his finisher on Balor RIGHT ONTO A CHAIR.

Balor nails Grimes with a kick to the head and knocks him to the arena floor.

And Damien Priest is out here! He nails Balor with his nightstick!

Grimes gets the win following a Cave In!

RESULT: Cameron Grimes defeats Finn Balor

Grimes is surprisingly controlling the flow of this match and maintaining control through most of it so far.

Grimes and Balor don't waste ANY time and attack each other IMMEDIATELY

Do you mind if we crash at your place...

...because we're TAKING OVER!#NXTTakeOver: In Your House will stream on @WWENetwork on Sunday, June 7th! #WWENXT @ShawnMichaels @TripleH @WWERoadDogg pic.twitter.com/sF6531SMaP

I wish Cameron Grimes' theme song started with someone shouting "Freebird!"

And now we're getting Finn Balor against Cameron Grimes.

Turns out the big DX announcement is that NXT TakeOver is June will be subtitled "In Your House", as it's the 25th Anniversary of the first one of those.

You're invited.

Well, I guess after this ad break, anyway.

Speaking of vignettes, we get another one featuring Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez.

And now we're getting a word with Isiah "Swerve" Scott, who is taking on Jack Gallagher in just a moment,
