The May 13, 2015 edition of WWE's NXT will air on the WWE Network tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern and will be the final show before the Takeover: Unstoppable live special next week that features an NXT Championship match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Interestingly, both men are dealing with injuries, so it's unclear how this match will actually unfold next week. Owens has been dealing with a knee injury, while Zayn seemed to hurt his shoulder during his stellar United States Championship match with John Cena on Monday Night Raw two weeks ago. Will WWE address either of these injuries tonight?
Becky Lynch will take on Sasha Banks for the NXT Women's Championship next week, and the two former friends have been trading blows for weeks. Which one will get the upper hand tonight headed into Takeover?
Enzo Amore and Big Cass will get a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships against Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy at Takeover. The tag division has been hit or miss recently, so is it time for the Realest Guys in the Room to get the straps?
Finn Balor is supposed to face Hideo Itami and Tyler Breeze in a Triple Threat Match in one week to determine the No. 1 Contender to the NXT Championship, but Itami is now out six to eight months with an injury. Will someone take his place?
Finally, Rhyno has called out Baron Corbin for a match at Takeover. Will the two behemoths clash tonight?
As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, opinions, predictions, and guesses for tonight's show in the comments section.
In case you missed it, here are the results of last week's show.
The episode begins with Emma, who comes out wearing Bayley's t-shirt and headband. She faces Charlotte, who wins the match with Natural Selection. Bayley then comes out and pays some respect to Charlotte before she steps into the ring. She helps up Emma and the two hug, except Bayley refuses to let go. She smiles and delivers the Bayley-to-Bayley Suplex and rips off Emma's shirt. Charlotte holds her back and Bayley celebrates after she takes back her headband.
Becky Lynch talks about the NXT Women's Championship in a video package.
Michael Cole sits down with NXT Champion Kevin Owens and asks why he attacked Sami Zayn. Owens says he did it for his family because winning the title means more money and a better life for them. Cole says he doesn't believe this, and an angry Owens says nobody has congratulated him on becoming champion in the last two months. No one has shown him any respect because they're too busy talking about Sami Zayn. Cole says respect goes both ways, but he wants to know why Owens attacked the man who stood up at his wedding. Owens says Cole is a "silly journalist" who is just looking for headlines. He says the reality is all he wants to do is provide for his family.
Rhyno defeats Bull Dempsey with the Gore. He gets on the mic and says people call him an unstoppable force, but they also use those words for Baron Corbin. He calls out Corbin for a match at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable.
Sasha Banks is backstage looking at photos of the greatest female wrestlers. She says Fabulous Moolah was the greatest until Sasha Banks. She says she made Becky Lynch, and she can end her.
General Manager William Regal greets indie star Uhaa Nation, who says it is an honor to be a part of NXT. Regal hands him a contract to sign. A video package then airs in which Uhaa talks about the great champions before him, including Seth Rollins.
Michael Cole talks with Sami Zayn, who says this is not business anymore, but personal. He turns away from Cole and speaks directly to Owens. He challenges Owens to meet him in the ring next week to be a role model to his children and explain why he really attacked Zayn. We then see a video package of Sami's match with John Cena on Monday Night Raw. They mention Zayn's shoulder injury but we don't get any updates.
Regal is in the ring for the NXT Women's Championship contract signing. Lynch comes down followed by Banks. Becky talks about the sacrifices she's made to get to NXT, while Banks just signs the contract with a giant gold stamp. The crowd chants "like a boss" and Sasha attacks Lynch and throws her over the announce table.
Finn Balor comes to ringside to watch the match between Hideo Itami and Tyler Breeze. Itami tries a running kick but Breeze rolls outside, so Itami goes for it again but accidentally takes out Balor over the barricade. The two combatants get back in the ring, and Itami ducks the beauty shot and hits his single-leg dropkick for the win.
Hideo celebrates as Balor recovers. Breeze attacks Itami from behind but Balor saves him. They tease a confrontation between the former tag team partners, but Breeze hits the Beauty Shot on both men to end the show.
