- Aiden English vs. Big-E Langston

Langston won with the Big End.

The ref did a normal three count, but Langston made him do two more. After the match, the crowd chanted “One More Time” so Langston hit the Big End again and did a five count himself. The chants continued, so he did it once more before leaving.

Michael McGillicutty came to the ring and said he was now the number one contender and would be the first challenger for the NXT Championship. He called out the "Paper Champion" Seth Rollins. Rollins came out and said he was fine with the match and that they could have it right now instead of next week. However, McGillicutty walked out saying they would only wrestle when he is ready to.

Gabriel won for his team by hitting the 450 on Cameron.

EPISODE TWO:

- Kaitlyn and Alicia Fox vs. Paige and Audrey Marie

Paige won with a roll up on Alicia Fox.

In the back, Briley Pierce interviewed Seth Rollins. Pierce asked how Rollins feels going into his first title defense. Rollins talked about how he was disrespected by McGillicutty. Suddenly, CM Punk stepped into the scene and cut a promo on how important this match was and how hard it is to hold onto a title. The segment ended with Punk telling Rollins that he needs to beat the respect out of McGillicutty.

Kruger won with Krugerrand.

After the match, the lights went down and a spotlight was placed on Kruger. However, no one in my area could make out what Kruger said.

DARK MAIN EVENT:

- WWE Champion CM Punk vs. US Champion Antonio Cesaro with Aksana

CM Punk by DQ.

About five minutes into the match, Punk attempted to hit the flying elbow but Ohno ran down and threw him off the top rope. Rollins ran out to help Punk, which led to large “Tag Team Match” chant from the crowd. Punk grabbed the mic and challenged Cesaro and Ohno to a tag match. They tried walking away, but Punk and Rollins ran up the ramp and forced them into the ring.

- WWE Champion CM Punk and NXT Champion Seth Rollins vs. US Champion Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno

While Punk and Rollins were celebrating, John Cena appeared on the big screen and announced that he would be here at the next taping on September 20th.

NOTES:

- Before the show, WWE’s film crew interviewed fans in line who were waiting for the doors to open. They asked people to answer some yes-no questions about Daniel Bryan. They also asked fans if they had the WWE App and filmed anyone who had it on their phone.

- There was a funny moment during the Punk vs. Cesaro match where the crowd started chanting “Jason Statham” at Cesaro. He shrugged and yelled back "I've never heard of him."

- As soon as the tag match started there was a very loud "Kings of Wrestling" chant. Later in the match there was a loud "Ring of Honor" chant.

- I was surprised that the only one in the divas match that was over with the crowd was Paige. There were "We Want Paige" and "Tag Paige In" chants throughout the match.

- After the taping ended, they filmed a new opening for the show in front of the building. They offered 50% off on tickets to the September 20th show for anyone who participated.
