WWE NXT Results - 6/21/11

This is now the longest-running season, as we head into our sixteenth week of NXT Redemption! There is a recap of Lucky Cannon's time on NXT Redemption. His short-lived romance with Maryse is reviewed, and we are reminded of his elimination last week. The recap ends with a slap to Cannon from Maryse. The opening titles roll, and commentators Todd Grisham and William Regal welcome us from Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The fourth elimination will take place next week. Voting begins tomorrow at noon.

Hornswoggle's music hits and out comes Hornswoggle and Titus O'Neil. Hornswoggle mumbles for a while and Titus translates. Titus says that Hornswoggle has something to say to Maryse, who comes on out. Maryse asks what he wants and Hornswoggle mumbles a bit more. Titus says that Hornswoggle has a surprise for her, and to close her eyes and hold out her hand. She holds her hand too high, so Titus picks up Hornswoggle, who places another little black box in her hand. She opens it to find a ring pop. Maryse asks if Hornswoggle really thinks a woman like her would really care for a ring pop. She says that Hornswoggle is a little person with a little brain. She calls him a fat troll and tells him to find a woman his own size. She throws the gift at him and walks out.

Hornswoggle looks sad and Zack Ryder's music hits. Ryder comes out and asks how he got further with Hornswoggle as a pro than when Ryder was his pro in NXT Season 2. Titus says that Ryder suffers from spray tan overdose. He reminds Ryder that he was the first one eliminated because of him. Titus says that he's going to win this season of NXT with Hornswoggle, and he's going to prove that Hornswoggle is the better pro. Titus says that everyone knows who the better pro is and Matt Striker comes out. Striker makes a match for tonight: Zack Ryder vs. Titus O'Neil. Woo woo woo, you know it.

Match #1: Vladimir Kozlov, Conor O'Brian & Yoshi Tatsu vs. JTG, Chavo Guerrero, & Darren Young

There is a recap of Yoshi Tatsu vs. Darren Young from last week, which ended in Darren winning due to interference from Chavo Guerrero. JTG then entered the fray before Vlad and Conor ran out and cleared the ring.

Darren Young and Conor O'Brian start out in the ring. They lock up and Darren transfers into a side headlock. Conor quickly takes control with a grounded wristlock. Conor gets up and continues to work the arm with a hammerlock, but Darren flips out and applies a wristlock of his own. Conor takes control again with another hammerlock, but Darren gets out and runs the ropes, but runs into a shoulder block and a European uppercut from Conor. Darren rolls out of the ring and gets a short pep talk from Chavo before he rolls back in. He tags Chavo in. Chavo takes control with a kick to the solar plexus and a flurry of strikes to the upper back of Conor. Conor whips Chavo and hits a charging shoulder block which sends Conor reeling into his corner. JTG is tagged in, as is Yoshi Tatsu. They stare each other down and JTG continually runs around the ring so Yoshi can't land any kicks before tagging in Darren Young. Darren keeps Yoshi in the corner and tags in Chavo, who gets some quick strikes in the corner. Chavo chokes Yoshi on the second rope and whips Yoshi into the corner, but Yoshi hops over Chavo's head, lands on his feet, and drops Chavo with some kicks. Yoshi tags in Vladimir and gets some trapped headbutts. Chavo gets on the turnbuckle and jumps, but Vlad catches him and hits a falling powerslam. The action starts to break down as Vladimir goes after Darren on the apron. JTG hops off the apron and the faces stand in the ring as we go to commercial.

Kozlov is in control of Chavo as we come back. Vlad forces Chavo into the face corner and tags in Conor. Conor takes control with some shoulder blocks and tries a delayed vertical suplex, but Chavo hits an upside-down knee to the head and gets out. He then tags in Darren, who works Conor's leg. Darren hits a scoop slam, making Conor's legs land on the ropes. He then tags in JTG, who stomps on Conor's legs. He gets to his feet using the ropes, but JTG hits an innovative neckbreaker for a two-count. Chavo is tagged in and hits a slingshot body splash. He then stretches Conor's leg on the bottom rope and tags in Darren. Darren applies a modified half crab before releasing it and slamming Conor's knee onto the canvas. Chavo is tagged in and drops a number of elbows on Conor's leg before torquing the knee of Conor. Conor is forced into the heel corner, but knocks everyone away with a number of punches, only to fall to a low dropkick by Chavo. JTG is tagged in and rams Conor's knee against the steel ring post, which gets a two count. JTG taunts Conor as he tries to gets to his feet. JTG keeps him down as Chavo is tagged back in. Conor fights to his feet and hits a number of strikes on Chavo before Chavo takes him down by the knee and tags in Darren. Darren slams Conor's head onto the top turnbuckle pad, but Conor fights out of the corner. Darren climbs to the second rope and jumps, but Conor catches him and hits a big flapjack. Conor gets a tag to Yoshi after Darren gets a tag to JTG. Yoshi hits a number of Flair chops. Yoshi hits a double knee attack onto JTG in the corner, and then attacks the two heels on the apron. Yoshi hits a shining wizard, but the pin attempt is broken up by Darren and JTG. They try to suplex Vladimir, but he reverses and suplexes both men by himself. Meanwhile, Yoshi turns his attention to JTG and hits a roundhouse kick to the head for a three-count.

Winners: Vladimir Kozlov, Conor O'Brian & Yoshi Tatsu

Tyson Kidd is backstage (with no tuft of hair!), on the phone with his former rookie, Lucky Cannon. He's saying that he can't do anything about getting him back in the show. Kidd finds a shrine of sorts in the locker room, a Yoshi Tatsu action figure surrounded by candles. He goes up to it, but the real Yoshi yells "Don't touch!" Kidd scoffs and walks off. Yoshi sits down and places a Hershey's chocolate bar in front of his action figure (which gets a big pop from the hometown crowd).

Match #2: Zack Ryder vs. Titus O'Neil

Hornswoggle is on the apron in support of Titus. Ryder takes control, hitting a number of strikes on Titus in the corner. The referee separates the two and Titus takes control, throwing Ryder into the corner. Titus hits a number of strikes of his own and a scoop slam for a two-count. Ryder quickly runs out of the ring while Grisham puts over Z! True Long Island Story. Ryder gets back into the ring and gets a headlock takedown from Titus. Ryder makes his way to his feet and whips Titus, but gets shoulder blocked. Titus hits a big short-arm clothesline on Ryder, who reels in the corner. While he recooperates, Hornswoggle sneaks over and bites Ryder on the butt. Ryder climbs out of the ring, saying "Are you serious, bro?!" as we go to commercial.

Titus takes control with a European uppercut. A "Let's go Ryder!" chant breaks out, but Titus hits a backbreaker for a two-count. Ryder goes into the corner and hits a kick to Titus' face when he walks over. A "Woo Woo Woo" taunt from Ryder gets boos from the crowd. Ryder takes Titus back down with a flying forearm and keeps him grounded with a side headlock. Titus fights to his feet and hits a jawbreaker. Titus pushes Ryder away with a big boot, but Ryder knocks Titus down into the corner with a big boot of his own. Running face wash in the corner by Ryder gets a two-count. Ryder goes back to a side headlock, but Titus counters with a back suplex. Titus is fired up and hits two shoulder blocks followed by a running clothesline. Titus picks Ryder up and hits a fallaway slam. Ryder falls out of the ring and looks like he's about to attack Hornswoggle. Titus hurries out of the ring, but Ryder gets back into the ring. He stomps Titus when he gets back into the ring, backs up, and hits the Rough Ryder for the three-count.

Winner: Zack Ryder

Ryder holds up the L-I hands as he walks up the ramp. He yells "All day!" as Hornswoggle sadly checks on Titus O'Neil to end the show.
