Raw (NXT) #230 – April, Week #4

[John Greatrix]

We start the show with Oyster standing in the ring. Oyster: “Last week was something else. Last week, we saw Kassius Ohno win the Television Title and then the brutal attack on Nikki Cross from Kelly Khaos. Well Kelly, if you want a shot at that Woman's Championship, you’ll have to earn it like everyone else. So tonight, Kelly Khaos takes on Jessicka Havok for the number one contendership of the Women’s Title. Tonight, we will see the United States Championship on the line when Scotty O’Shea, Joe Hendry, Dolph Ziggler and Jeff Hardy have an elimination Fatal Four-Way match. So, that just leaves the European Championship open for the taking but that will have to wait until next week as we have a special treat for everyone. So, let's get this show started.”

Jeff Cobb vs. Jimmy Havoc
The bell rings and Havoc charges Cobb trying to catch him off guard. Cobb plants himself and drops Havoc to the ground with a stiff shoulder block. Cobb lifts Havoc to his feet by his hair and whips him into the ropes. Cobb hits a huge back body drop and follows it up with a quick leg drop. Havoc rolls to the ropes. As Havoc gets to his feet, Cobb goes in to attack Havoc but he ducks the clothesline and catches Cobb with a kick to the head. Cobb stumbles back and Havoc launches himself from the ropes for springboard crossbody but Cobb catches Havoc in the air and connects with The Tour of the Islands and goes for the cover, 1…2…3.
Winner: Jeff Cobb

We go backstage to Cathy Kelley. Kelley: “I’m backstage with Aleister Black. Aleister, why have you asked for this time tonight?” Black: “Well Cathy, it’s simple. Kassius, if you’re any type of man, you will defend your belt against me next week. If you refuse to, then I guess I’ll have to come back there and make you do it. I’ll be waiting for an answer next week.” Black storms of screen.

Kelly Khaos vs. Jessicka Havok
As Havok is taking her gear off, Khaos attacks her from behind, driving Havok into the corner. Khaos grabs Havok by the hair and starts smashing her head off the top turnbuckle. The ref finally gets in between the two women and separates them. He calls for the bell. Khaos and Havok charge in at each other. Khaos ducks under a clothesline by Havok and connects with a jumping shoulder block. Khaos forces Havok to her feet and whips her into the corner. Khaos climbs up and starts landing punches to Havok, 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9… but before Khaos can connect with the 10th punch, Havok gets a thumb in Khaos’ eye causing her to drop down. While Khaos is covering her eye, Havok uses this to her advantage and quickly hits Khaos with an STO Backbreaker and goes for the cover, 1…2… but Khaos kicks out at a two count. Khaos uses the ropes to get to her feet. Havok runs in for a running knee but Khaos drops down, pulling the top rope down and sending Havoc over the top rope to the outside. Khaos follows her out and lifts her up and drops Havok down on the apron. Khaos rolls Havok in the ring and connects with The Khaos Theory and goes for the cover, 1…2…3.
Winner: Kelly Khaos

Scotty O’Shea vs. Joe Hendry vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Jeff Hardy (United States Title Match) (Elimination Match)
The bell rings and it’s an all out war. It’s every man from themselves and the ref is having a hard time keeping an eye on everyone. Ziggler and Hardy roll to the outside where Hardy throws Ziggler into the ring stairs. Hendry and Hacker are trading blows in the middle of the ring. Hendry manages to get the upper hand and drops Hacker to the mat with a hard right. Hendry lifts Hacker up and sets him in the corner. Hendry hits the ropes and runs in for a running knee but Hardy comes off the ropes and catches Hendry with a springboard dropkick. Hardy runs in and catches Hacker with a dropkick in the corner and pulls him out, climbs up top and connects with The Swanton Bomb. As Hardy gets to his feet, Ziggler slides in from the outside and drops Hardy with The Zig Zag and goes for the cover, 1…2…3. Jeff Hardy has been eliminated. Ziggler forces Hacker to his feet and throws Hacker into the ropes. Hacker comes off the ropes and catches Ziggler with a Springboard Cutter. Hacker goes for the cover, 1…2… but Ziggler kicks out at 2 but before Ziggler can get to his feet, Hendry locks in The Hendry Lock (Ankle Lock). Ziggler tires to make it to the ropes but Hendry drags him back to the middle of the ring. Ziggler taps out. Dolph Ziggler has been eliminated. Hacker gets on the ring apron but before he can get in, Hendry meets him and catches him with a right then hits a suplex back into the ring. Hendry quickly locks in The Hendry Lock. As Hacker is fighting to get to the ropes, Anthony Gaines, Shane Sabre, Chris Mitchels and Mark Wheeler all jump the barricades and swarm the ring, attacking Hendry. Hacker rolls out of the ring while the rest of Kill/Screen attack Hendry. Mitchels and Sabre hold Hendry on his knees as Hacker gets in the ring with his keyboard. Hacker brings the keyboard down on Hendry’s head, smashing it into a million pieces and he makes the cover, 1…2…3.
