Titus's Rampage (NXT ep 101 reviewed)

NXT would kick off with new heel Titus O' Neil. Titus would ask the WWE universe to apologize to him. Titus announced that he had liberated himself from the universe, and would be interrupted by Percy Watson. Percy would ask Titus why he turned his back on the WWE universe. Titus asked Percy to follow his example, Percy would decline. Titus would shove Percy, Matt Striker would come down to announce the main event match between Percy Watson and Titus O' Neil.

Percy Watson would start with strike and built up some offense. The referee would break up the striking, this gave Titus the opening who would throw Percy outside, ram his back against the apron and gained control.Titus's offense would be more aggresive, anytime Percy attempted to build up momentum, Titus stopped him in his tracks.Percy finally built up some offense after a big boot, and would score a two count after his splash. Titus would pick up the win with his spinebuster.

Post match Titus would attack Percy, Alex Riley would come to the aid throwing Titus out.

Titus was such a bore as a babyface, WWE has taken the right step making him a heel. The match between the two was ok, Titus still is a bit sloppy when dominating, Percy's moves were perfect, everyone gave the apperance that it was real. The storyline Titus has, I think they could have made it better, rather than have him compete against his former friend, WWE could have made Titus a big star by making Titus be jealous of RAW and Smackdown superstars, attacking them, this would have made NXT much more interesting.

Matt Striker would head backstage and be caught up by Curt Hawkins and Tyler who asked why they were not in the main event.

Curt Hawkins & Tyler Rex would compete against the Usos in a tag team match, Hawkins and Jimmy would start off, The Usos quickly demonstrated their tag team skills and remain in control despite a blind tag from Reks.. Reks would gain control after Hawkins caused a distraction. Hawkins and Reks would keep the pressure on with numerous quick tags. After a long beating Jay would pick up some momentum and make a tag to Jimmy. Jimmy would unload on the Hawkins,however Reks would break the cover, this lead to Jay and Reks spilling outside. Curt would almost win with a innovative flap jack. Hawkins would grab his cane, but Jimmy would hit a superkick for the win.

I was very surprised by the outcome of this match, I thought this would be a heel win for Curtis provoking a rivalry between the teams. However The Usos instead won, picking up some momentum, I assume for a tag team championship match at Rumble. The match was great on both parts. Reks showcased power very well, and The Usos again showcased amazing tag team technique.

Backstage Bateman would converse with Kaitlyn about his love victory. Kaitlyn would tell Bateman that Johnny was at the arena.

Trent Barreta would take on the one man rock band, Heath Slater. Slater would strikes, and Trent would return with strikes, knocking Slater outside, Trent would land on his feet after missing a dive, this would give Slater the opportunity to take advantage. Trent would create an opening with an enziguri, and build up some offense. Trent would go up top, Slater would counter with a top rope snap powerslam but only getting a two count.Trent would attempt to hit a tornado DDT, but Slater would land his finisher for the win.

Trent Barreta is just awesome in ring, why did he lose. He has such amazing athleticism, and WWE are just doing the same thing they did with Evan Bourne. More and more cruiser-weights are on WWE, I would love the cruiser-weight title to return. Slater was ok in the match, but not his best work. Trent was awesome as always.

Next would be a wedding debate between Curtis and Bateman. Johnny would begin to talk about Maxine's fingernails, Maxine and Bateman would come down to the ring. Bateman Curtis would exchange comments. Maxine would conclude the debate with a knee to the groin of Curtis.

I am so bored of this dumb storyline. This was an absolute terrible rip off of the jerry springer show. Just end this please WWE. Maxine is not a good actor and ruined the segment. Johnny won season 4, and was supposed to have a WWE tag team championship match with R-Truth, but this just got losed. WWE bring back the old NXT, where future stars actually tried to become WWE stars. Season 1, 2, 3 were awesome. Bring it back
