It’s time for the twenty-seventh week of NXT Redemption! The opening titles roll, and commentators Jack Korpela and William Regal welcome us from Toledo, Ohio. There is a recap of the events from two weeks ago, in which Darren Young confronted Matt Striker. Darren hits Matt Striker with a cheap shot, which prompts William Regal to intervene and chase Darren out of the ring.

-Darren Young makes his way out to the ring with a mic. He says he guesses this is the part where he welcomes the crowd to NXT Redemption, but he’s not here to talk about redemption. He’s here to talk about NXT being over. He says he’s already won, since he’s the best. He says the real reason he came out is to confront William Regal. Regal gets a mic of his own and gets into the ring. He’s welcomed by Regal chants. He says that he truly believes that Darren has a great future, but unfortunately, he’s been going about it in the wrong way, and Regal won’t allow it. Darren asks what’s wrong with Regal, after he was invited into Darren’s ring and tries to steal his spotlight. Regal says that Darren doesn’t have a clue whose spotlight is in the ring. Darren says that tonight, he’d love to show Regal what he knows in the ring. Regal gladly accepts.

-Titus O’Neil, Hornswoggle, and AJ make their ways to the ring as we get a recap of Maxine vs. AJ from two weeks ago. Hornswoggle is assaulted at ringside by Derrick Bateman, which led to a distraction and a roll-up. Bateman and Maxine come out next holding hands.

Match #1: Titus O’Neil & AJ vs. Derrick Bateman & Maxine

Maxine gets up and hits a jawbreaker, but AJ hits the ropes and hits a dropkick for a two-count. Maxine whips AJ into the corner and charges, but AJ gets her feet up and kicks her away.

They decide to make out as I cringe.

-William Regal heads backstage to prepare for his match tonight with Darren Young.

-Commercial

-Tyson Kidd’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Matt Striker is now joining Jack Korpela on commentary. Kidd gets a microphone and says that for the past few weeks, someone’s been messing with him: playing mind games, trashing his locker room, and flashing Japanese characters on the TitanTron. And he says we all know who it is: Yoshi Tatsu. He calls out Yoshi, but when he doesn’t, he says that’s Yoshi’s problem. He doesn’t take anything seriously, whereas Tyson was “the best thing to come out of the Hart family dungeon.” That’s how he knows he’s better than Yoshi Tatsu. He says the characters don’t scare him, but yet another character flashes onscreen. Yoshi’s music hits and out comes Yoshi in very different attire. It looks something like a traditional Japanese warrior, complete with a mask. Striker asks if it’s The Great Muta. Yoshi takes off the mask, and half of his face is painted.

Match #2: Tyson Kidd vs. Yoshi Tatsu
-A Yoshi chant starts up as Yoshi stares Kidd down. Kidd takes control with a gut kick, and tries to slam Yoshi’s head into the corner, but Yoshi stops him and hits a number of Flair chops. Yoshi whips Tyson into the corner and goes for a double knee attack, but Tyson ducks it and starts punching Yoshi in the corner. The ref breaks it up and Yoshi takes control with some kicks. Yoshi then suplexes Kidd onto the top rope and while he’s hung up, he hits a number of kicks to Tyson’s torso and finishes with an axe kick to Tyson’s back, knocking him out of the ring.

-Commercial

-Both men are back in the ring and Yoshi slingshots Kidd to the apron. Tyson attempts to skin the cat, but Yoshi hits a dropkick, sending Kidd to the floor. Yoshi attempts a baseball slide but Tyson moves and slams Yoshi against the barricade. He kicks Yoshi and tosses him back into the ring. Tyson gets Yoshi up, whips him, and hits a back elbow strike for a two-count. Kidd then applies a side headlock. Yoshi gets to his feet, but Kidd hits a neckbreaker and floats over into a pin attempt for a two-count. Tyson chokes Yoshi on the bottom rope and hits a suplex for another two-count. Back to the side headlock on Yoshi. Kidd hangs Yoshi up on the bottom rope and jumps over the top rope, dropping a leg on the back of Yoshi’s head.

Yoshi gets fired up for another kick, but Tyson kicks Yoshi’s close leg, taking him down. Tyson goes to the apron and tries to drop a springboard elbow drop on Yoshi, but Yoshi gets his knees up. Yoshi goes back up to the top rope, but Tyson kicks the rope, making Yoshi temporarily lose his balance. Tyson slaps Tatsu on the second rope and goes for a Frankensteiner. Yoshi hangs on and jumps off the top rope, connecting with a flying spinning wheel kick for the victory.

Match #3: William Regal vs. Darren Young
-Darren charges Regal before the bell rings, but runs into Regal’s boot. Regal pushes Darren into the corner and drives several knees into Darren’s head. Regal whips Darren and hits him with his elbow. He grabs Darren’s legs and the referee urges him to stop. Regal obliges, and then stomps on Darren’s gut anyways. Regal then whips Darren to the corner so hard that he flies out to the outside. Regal follows him out and slams him against the barricade. Regal drags Darren over to the announce table and puts on a headset, urging him to apologize into the microphone while maintaining the headlock. Darren doesn’t oblige. Regal throws Darren into the ring and Darren begs for mercy. Regal grabs Darren’s hand, puts it on the ground and stomps on it. Darren gets up and whips Regal into the corner hard.

Darren then stomps on Regal’s hands and applies a body scissors on Regal. Darren then gets up and tosses Regal into the corner. The two trade European uppercuts, but Regal’s sends Darren to the ground. Regal punches away at Darren in the corner as the referee repeatedly yells at Regal for not respecting the 5-count. Regal hits an exploder suplex and starts applying the Regal stretch on Darren. JTG runs up to the apron to interfere, but Striker says “Screw this!” and runs over to JTG, knocking him off the apron and challenging him to a fight. As Striker yells at JTG, Regal hits the knee trembler on Darren, picking up the win.

WWE Posts Storyline Feature on Internet Title
Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/05/2011 at 10:48 PM

- WWE's website has a new article up asking fans if it's time for the Internet Title that Zack Ryder has to be featured. Here are some quotes from Ryder:

"Two of the four WWE programs in the U.S. are only on the internet. Everything is on the internet. People watch TV on their computer or on their phones or iPads. There should be an Internet Championship in WWE. They should be bribing me to defend my title on the internet, on television, wherever."

"They were some great TV Champions and guys that went on to become World Champions. It’s the same idea. The Internet Championship is a way to show people what I’m all about. I’ve created the Ryder Revolution."

"I’m never going to defend this title. I’ve earned this championship. I won it fair and square. My YouTube show has more than four million views, I dominate Twitter. I’m the first champion, I’m the last champion, I’m the only champion."

WWE Raw Supershow results: Cena fends off Del Rio
By: Greg Adkins September 5, 2011
Tags: WWE Raw SuperShow: September 5, 2011
COLUMBUS, Ohio – As the clock continues to tick down to Night of Champions in less than two weeks, the circumstances surrounding each title match grow ever more contentious and controversial.

John Cena, Sheamus, John Morrison & Alex Riley def. Christian, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger & Wade Barrett in an Eight-Man Elimination Tag Team Match (WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2 | PHOTOS)
After WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio whipped them into a frenzy against John Cena in the locker room area, Christian, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger & Wade Barrett were frothing at the mouth. The quartet squared off against Cena, Sheamus, John Morrison & Alex Riley in an Eight-Man Elimination Tag Team Match.

The first two Superstars eliminated from the bout were The Prince of Parkour and A-Ry, followed by Barrett. After that, Sheamus and Christian battled to a double count-out, leaving Cena to battle Ziggler & Swagger. The two rivals were forced to work together, but their bickering and Cena’s domination allowed him to eliminate both.

Having won for his squad, Cena was then ambushed by WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio, but The Cenation Commander-in-Chief beat back the attack and sent Del Rio scurrying.

John Cena called out WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio (WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2)
WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio can’t avoid John Cena forever. The Mexican Aristocrat was a no-show on both the WWE Raw SuperShow and SuperSmackDown last week, and this week he addressed Cena from a safe distance outside the ring. He taunted his Night of Champions opponent before a host of Superstars – who Del Rio had swayed earlier in the evening – converged on The Cenation Commander-in-Chief.

Before Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler and Christian could debilitate Cena, Sheamus, John Morrison and Alex Riley charged the ring to even the score. When they did, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long intervened and arranged an Eight-Man Elimination Tag Team Match.

World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton def. Heath Slater (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Add another chapter to Randy Orton’s book of anger management issues. After being thrashed by Mark Henry after his Steel Cage victory on SuperSmackDown, The World Heavyweight Champion needed a target on which to unleash his anger. Unfortunately for Heath Slater, he proved a suitable punching bag. The former WWE Tag Team Champion got rocked by The Viper, who showed why he’s so treacherous while sending a message to The World’s Strongest Man.

Zack Ryder & Jerry “The King” Lawler def. David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty (WATCH | PHOTOS)
After dubbing former WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty “boring,” Jerry “The King” Lawler accepted their challenge to face them with a partner of his choosing. Lawler looked to the opposite of boring when scouting his partner and enlisted the help of Long Island Iced-Z, Zack Ryder. Although it appeared Lawler had the match wrapped up against McGillicutty, Ryder eagerly begged to break off a piece of the action for himself. When “King” agreed to tag him in, the self-proclaimed “WWE Internet Champion” made quick work of his opponent, scoring the three-count for him and his WWE Hall of Fame partner.

CM Punk def. R-Truth; stipulation added to Triple H vs. Punk (WATCH: PART 1 | PART 2 | PHOTOS)
The conspiracy against R-Truth continues, or so he’d have you believe. The unbalanced Superstar ambushed CM Punk last week as he fought The Miz. This week, Punk would be up against more of the same from these two. This time, however, it would be Truth’s partner who would attempt to interfere. Unlike last week, though, Miz got booted from the arena before the match could end. As a result, Punk recovered and managed to prevail.

Afterward, Punk’s Night of Champions’ opponent, Triple H, emerged to thicken the plot. WWE’s Chief Operating Officer challenged The Second City Savior to make theirs a No Disqualification Match. Punk said he would comply with The Game’s stipulation only if Triple H agreed to quit as COO were he to lose. A confident King of Kings readily agreed.
Beth Phoenix def. Eve in a No. 1 Contender’s Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Beth Phoenix is determined to change the landscape of the Divas division. And now, she’s earned the opportunity to do just that. The Glamazon defeated Eve in a No. 1 Contenders Match and will now face Divas Champion Kelly Kelly, who already defeated her at SummerSlam, in a title match at Night of Champions.

The Divas Champion as well as Beth’s fellow “Diva of Doom,” Natalya, each looked on from ringside as the match unfolded. After the bell sounded, Kelly went to check on Eve, but Natalya pulled her back down and slammed her into the arena floor. As Kelly writhed in pain, Natalya stepped into the ring and helped Beth celebrate her victory.

WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston def. Jinder Mahal & The Great Khali; title match announced for Night of Champions  (WATCH | PHOTOS)
The relationship between Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali continues to disintegrate. After Khali lost to Sheamus on SuperSmackDown, Mahal warned him he was on thin ice. This week, the two teamed up against WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston in a non-title match. Instead of leveraging their clear size advantage, Mahal & Khali failed to get on the same page, allowing Air Boom to cut them off at the knees for the victory.

Later in the evening, partners The Miz & R-Truth announced they will challenge Bourne & Kingston for their titles at Night of Champions.

WWE COO Triple H fired Kevin Nash (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Exhibiting shades of his father-in-law, Mr. McMahon, WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H asserted his executive power and fired longtime friend Kevin Nash in a move that shocked both the WWE Universe and Big Daddy Cool himself. The unpleasant altercation had been building for weeks, as Nash continued to both defy and provoke The Game.

The mounting issues between the two finally came to a head. Punk was addressing the WWE Universe when Big Daddy Cool interrupted, trading verbal jabs with The Second City Savior. Before the two could trade blows, The Game came out to ease tensions. Nash informed him, though, that WWE wasn’t big enough for both he and Punk, that one of them would have to go. The Game then revealed he’d received security camera footage from L.A.’s STAPLES Center from the night of SummerSlam. Turns out, Nash had snuck into the COO’s office and sent a text to himself from Triple H’s phone, instigating his attack on CM Punk that night. In other words, Big Daddy Cool had been lying to his good friend for weeks. That’s when Triple H finally handed Nash his walking papers.

When the COO attempted to leave, Nash blocked his exit. The Game was having none of it, and instead, clocked the seven-footer in the face before striding out of the ring.
