WWE NXT: Alex Riley vs. Kofi Kingston – Husky Harris eliminated from NXT
It was a wild night at NXT, as Rookies engaged in tough matches and witnessed two eliminations. "Showtime" Percy Watson was eliminated in the start of NXT and the attention shifted to the remaining rookies. However, before the second round of eliminations, it was announced that Alex Riley would clash against the former Intercontinental Champion, Kofi Kingston. It was a must-win match for Alex Riley, as he needed to impress the wrestling fans and the WWE pros. The competition was tough between the Rookies and WWE Pros were monitoring their every move.
On the other hand, the wrestling superstar from Ghana, Kofi Kingston, knew that it was also important for him to win the fight. He knew that it would look bad if he lost the match against an NXT Rookie. Kofi is currently feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental Championship. Kofi also needed the win to make a stronger case of a title shot for the Intercontinental belt.
The crowd cheered as Kofi Kingston walked on the ramp and entered the ring. Michael McGillicutty followed his pro and stayed along the ring side. The aggressive Alex Riley locked horns with Kofi Kingston to start the fight. Perhaps Alex was too overconfident as he signalled Kofi to bring his A-Game. Kofi replied by delivering quick kicks to Riley’s back. Kofi showed his wild side to the wrestling fans by cornering Alex Riley and by delivering hardcore punches to his face. The referee interfered to stop Kofi as there were chances of a permanent injury to the Varsity Villain.
Kofi was on a roll when he knocked down Riley by delivering a couple of clotheslines. The clotheslines were followed by a standing drop-kick to Riley’s jaw. Kofi then delivered the famous leg-drop on Riley’s neck to further incapacitate him. There seemed to be no competition in the match as Kofi dominated the fight from the very start. Alex Riley was used as a punching bag throughout the fight. The absence of The Miz affected Riley in more ways than one. The Miz always stood at Riley’s corner and gave instructions to him during the fight.
Kofi was geared up to finish the match by delivering Trouble in Paradise. He waited for Riley to stand back on his feet, rolled in the ring and delivered a huge kick to Riley’s face. Riley was down and out and Kofi went for the cover, and the referee counted to three with both of Riley’s shoulders touching the ring floor.
After the action, it was time for elimination. All the remaining NXT rookies lined up outside the ring. The competition was between Husky Harris, Kaval, Alex Riley and Michael McGillicutty. The crowd silently waited for the big announcement. These were both tense and tough moments for the NXT Rookies, as their careers were on the line. There was great uproar when it was announced that the third-generation competitor Husky Harris has been eliminated from NXT.
Husky could not believe the outcome and he grabbed the microphone to address the crowd. His pro, "Dashing" Cody Rhodes was also astonished and he cursed the wrestling fans and the WWE pros for making a bad choice. Cody walked to the Rookies and kicked Kaval on his abdomen. Husky joined the party and teamed up with Cody in a street fight against Kaval. MVP and Kofi Kingston came for help and tried to beat Husky Harris. It was a chaotic situation as wrestlers engaged a brutal street fight.
But the numbers game proved too much for Cody and Husky as they immediately left the ring side. It was a wild ending at NXT. Many wrestling pundits believe that despite the elimination, the "Army Tank with a Ferrari Engine", Husky Harris, will return to the squared circle of WWE and will create a huge impact.
