The announcers hyped Jacob Novak vs. Johnny Curtis, and our magnificent main event match with the mystery participant… [C]
1. Jacob Novak (w/Dolph Ziggler) defeated Johnny Curtis (w/JTG) in 5:00. The announcers said something about R-Truth calling JTG and asking him to fill in for him. Call me crazy, but I don’t think that phone conversation actually took place. Curtis locked in an arm lock late in the match, but Dolph interfered while the referee was distracted to give his guy Novack the win.
A Derrick Bateman video aired. He’s not nearly as funny as he thinks he is. He named his fists “Freedom” and “Justice” and then said he’s the next WWE breakout star… [C]
It was Conor O’Brian video time. He’s from Grand Rapids, Michigan and he’s WWE’s next breakout star. His whole gimmick is that he looks like a rat. Yes, really…
Josh Matthews and Todd Grisham spoke at ringside… Highlights aired of a training session involving Daniel Bryan and Derrick Bateman. Bryan wasn’t happy that Bateman was reading a book during their training…
Striker hosted a trivia contest in the ring. The rookies had to name Taker’s WrestleMania opponents. They each named one, so then it was time to name King of the Ring winners. Another topic was on cities that hosted WrestleMania. They also went through WWE pay-per-view events. I zoned out. Bateman won. He’s the male version of A.J. from season three. No word yet as to whether he’ll kiss Primo at the end of the season… [C]
Rat Boy was getting cocky backstage, so Alberto Del Rio put him in his place. He said he’d give him all the cheese he wants if he wins NXT. Grisham actually asked if Ricardo Rodriguez had to cut the cheese for Del Rio. Todd Grisham should be burnt at the stake for that joke…
