WWE NXT Results - August 10, 2010
The show opens with a pre-tape from "earlier today" featuring Michael Cole and Josh Mathews with Matt Striker showing the new "power punch" Rookie challenge at the top of the ramp. Cole registers a punch at 728. Mathews registers a 886. Striker tells them, just like tonight someone is going to be eliminated and tells Cole "sorry". Cole had a ridiculous get-up on, wearing a headband, sunglasses and the new Miz shirt. He also had powder on his hands and threw it up in the air like LeBron James does before games.
Cue the "Wild & Young" theme and entrance of the Season 2 NXT Rookies. We're live from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
Ashley Valence welcomes the Pros and remaining Rookies. Out first are Kofi Kingston and Michael McGillicutty. Zack Ryder comes out alone because Titus O'Neil was eliminated. WWE Women's Champions LayCool come out with Kaval. John Morrison is out solo as Eli Cottonwood was eliminated. MVP and Percy Watson. Lucky Cannon comes out alone followed by Cody Rhodes and Husky Harris. The Miz and Alex Riley are the last ones out.
Striker says Mark Henry couldn't be here tonight because of "injuries" suffered last night at the hands of The Nexus. Striker announces there will be a new Poll tonight including the vote from the fans. Striker says the Season 2 finale will be in three weeks and the winner earns a championship match live on pay-per-view. Tonight is a different story - one will be eliminated and they must do everything in their power to impress not only the Pros but the fans of the WWE Universe.
