The Matches on Episode 5
Elijah Holyfield def. Anthony Luke
Anthony Luke starts the match showboating. But mid-taunt, he attempts a sneak attack on Elijah, only to be outsmarted and made to look foolish. Elijah is meant to work as the smaller man, while Anthony does the opposite, using his size to his advantage.
The action spills to the outside when Elijah leaps, only to be caught and slammed back-first into the ring apron by Anthony. From there, Anthony dominates, dishing out a brutal beating. Eventually, Elijah finds an opening, shifts the momentum, and begins to take control with increased intensity and pace. He seals the comeback with a pinfall victory over Anthony.
Dani Sekelsky def. Penina Tuilaepa
Before the match, Penina Tuilaepa cuts a vicious promo on Dani Sekelsky, promising to lay her out. She backs it up by immediately taking control, unleashing a brutal assault that leaves Dani screaming in pain.
Dani tries to capitalize on a brief moment when Penina is distracted by the referee. However, Penina is one step ahead. As Dani lays on the mat and Penina approaches, Dani catches her in a Hell’s Gate submission to secure a surprise victory.
Drake Morreaux def. Chris Island
Drake Morreaux showed some edge in his pre-match promo. Chris Island debuted new gear after ditching the singlet on the advice of Booker T. The match kicked off at a fast pace, with Chris overwhelming Drake with punches. However, Drake shifted the momentum with a big boot.
He did a solid job showcasing his size, which is something The Undertaker had been wanting to see more of. Drake kept the pressure on, delivering a relentless beating. Chris managed to build some momentum late in the match, but it wasn’t enough. As he went for a top-rope move, Drake countered with a chokeslam to secure the win.
Bayley Humphrey def. Summer Sorrell
This match took place in front of a live NXT crowd, with The Undertaker and Michelle McCool watching from their balcony seats. After locking up, Bayley Humphrey quickly showcased her power and took control of the match.
While Summer had a few moments of offense, they weren’t enough to build real momentum. Still, she showed potential and gave glimpses of what she brings to the table, even scoring a couple of two-counts. In the end, Bayley sealed the win with her viral finisher.
