NXT Results: Controversial finish to title match; Former IMPACT Wrestling Champion makes TV debut

"Kiss my grits money" means nothing to the NXT GM

NXT General Manager William Regal confronted Cameron Grimes, furious at him for hitting a crewman last week. Grimes tried to buy Regal's favor, but the GM couldn't be bought. Instead, Grimes would face 'The Colossal' Bronson Reed tonight.

Aliyah w/The Robert Stone Brand vs Ember Moon w/Shotzi Blackheart on NXT

Robert Stone was experiencing some horrific flashbacks after seeing Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon arrive in the tank. Ember had Aliyah's number early on, but a Robert Stone Brand distraction allowed Aliyah to catch her with a forearm.

It didn't rock Moon as much as it seemed to wake her up, as Moon responded with a spiking release back suplex. They brawled to the floor, but Stone again caught the attention of the former NXT Women's Champion. A roundhouse and running boot laid out Aliyah, leaving Stone and Jessi Kamea nervous.

Aliyah caught Moon with a nasty running boot in the corner, but it wasn't enough to keep the Shenom down. A running dropkick and spinebuster planted Aliyah for the two-count. The Eclipse stunned Aliyah for the three-count.
