In week 4 of the NXT competition to crown the next break out star, we learn that the pros will be conducting the first round of votes in two weeks. Yet, we still do not know what that means exactly. Will someone be voted off NXT? And if that person is voted off, what of their pro? Will he get a new rookie, or return back to the locker rooms?The opening contest was a tag team match pitting team Hardy against Team Straightedge. Matt Hardy, or sensi, having his rookie sport the new Matt Hardy t-shirt, is not really teaching Justin to be a star. Because the things Justin does in the ring are exactly what made Evan Bourne popular in ECW, before the reality sank in that there is no cruiserweight division in the WWE. If Justin looks to make an impact, he'll have to prove why the fans should pay to see him.
C.M. Punk not exactly liking his rookie, but throughout the course of the match treated him with respect. Darren Young, not at all certain how to get on his mentor's good graces, is becoming more aggressive in the ring.
The match ended with C.M. Punk striking Hardy with the GTS (while the referee was distracted) and Darren Young scoring the pinfall. However, Young did not enjoy his victory because Luke Gallows rewarded him with a Gallows Pole Drop.
Daniel Bryan vs. Khali
What started out as an initial joke between me and my friend came to fruition in week four of NXT. My friend, who has been following Bryan Danielson's career for a long time, stated that he is one of the best wrestlers in the world and could work with anyone. My joke was if he could work a great match with The Great Khali? No one can, is how he responded.
The Great Khali, exhibitiing no wrestling ability whatsoever, defeated the self proclaimed Best Wrestler in the World. Bryan Danielson proved the bible wrong, sometimes David cannot slay Giloath.
And if Daniel Bryan losing to the worst "pro-wrestler" in the WWE wasn't bad enough, then being chokeslammed by The Big Show (sent by Miz) is just a perfect end to a bad say.
Heath Slater vs. Michael Tarver
Heath Slater is coming off with some momentum as he pinned NXT Pro Carlito last week in a one on one contest, but could he outlast Mr. 1.9 Michael Tarver?
Heath managed to provide some interesting offense when he connected with a corkscrew to the outside of the ring. Tarver attempted to ground him, but Heath managed to roll him up for the victory.
Yet don't let the loss fool you, because Michael Tarver attacked Heath from behind and layed him out with a T-Bone suplex.
Wade Barrett vs. Skip Sheffield
Losing his match last week to Justin Gabriel, Wade Barrett is currently 1-1. While Skip Sheffield is on a losing streak because he fails to shut up and listen to his mentor William Regal.
Chris Jericho, on the other hand, loves his rookie because Wade Barrett is a majestic destroyer. And this match was just a sampling of what Wade Barrett is capable of as he struck with an overhead bodyslam.
