We begin this week’s episode of NXT with a look back at the eliminations that have taken place so far in Season Five. We then see the return of Derrick Bateman.

We are live on tape from Tucson, Arizona and your announcers are Todd ‘Kenny Lofton’ Grisham and William ‘Steve Kerr’ Regal. Your hosts are Matt ‘Sean Elliot’ Striker and Maryse.

Matt and Maryse are in the ring and Maryse welcome her rookie to the ring.

Young and O’Neil are still not happy that Derrick Bateman is back on NXT. Matt reminds everyone that they are looking for redemption because that means you get to be on Season Six. Matt says that there is no immunity but we have Redemption Points. Titus has 22 Points. Darren Young has 7 Points. Derrick Bateman has 0 Points.

Matt tells us that the redemption points will be the tiebreaker.

It is time for the Talk the Talk Challenge and it is worth three points. The topic is winning NXT.

Darren Young goes first and he says that there is a problem. There were supposed to be two finalists. However, NXT threw a swerveball at him and Titus and they bring back Derrick Bateman. For seventeen weeks, he has proven that he belongs here. He is going to win without a pro and he will do it himself.

Titus O’Neil is next and he says that he understands why Darren is back that they brought back the knockoff Andy Samberg back, but he does not care. Titus says that he has dominated in the ring, on the mic, and in the challenges. Titus says that he has so many Redemption Points that he can make it rain. Titus tells Derrick that whoever wins NXT will have earned it instead of joining in the middle of the competition.

Derrick Bateman says that the Andy Samberg comment was creative. It is almost as creative as his talent. Derrick says that Titus was telling him how much better the Gators were than the Arizona Wildcats. Derrick says that if he was in the same situation as Darren Young, he would be angry that he was back on NXT after main eventing SummerSlam and being in Nexus. Him and Daniel Bryan are the biggest thing on the internet and he says that they are the biggest thing since kitten videos.

Maryse ask the WWE Universe who should win and the winner is Titus O’Neil.

Todd asks Regal about Derrick Bateman being back on NXT and Regal says that after their performances, they should be sacked.
