Kidd became increasingly frustrated at his inability to defeat titlist Neville, particularly when he secured a three count but then saw the official renege on the decision after realising the Brit’s feet were touching the ropes.
The Canadian, who lost to Neville when the NXT Championship was up for grabs at the Takeover event two weeks ago, could not contain his ire at the man-in-stripes’ judgment and slid out of the ring to snatch a steel chair.
But before Kidd could whack Neville with the weapon, WWE Diva Natalya berated her husband and fellow Hart Dungeon graduate, telling him that resorting to such lengths in order to win was beneath him.
Natalya’s strong words did more harm than good, though, and with the couple still bickering at ringside, Neville cracked Kidd with a superkick, leapt to the top of the turnbuckle and finished the Calgary-born star off with the Red Arrow.
Tensions
Kidd and Natalya were not the only partners to clash on NXT, however, with discord among the BFFs – Charlotte, Summer Rae and Sasha Banks – ensuring they were mastered by Bayley, Paige and Emma.
The glamorous threesome was in control for much of the match, but when tensions boiled and Charlotte shoved Summer Rae to the canvas, Bayley capitalised by rolling up the newly-anointed NXT Women’s Champion.
Elsewhere, a mysterious masked man competed at Full Sail University – though he was eventually unveiled as Bo Dallas and promptly escorted out of the arena by a throng of NXT officials.
Dallas emerged for his duel with Sami Zayn masquerading as Mr NXT and had same early success against the Seth Rogen lookalike, but the contest changed direction when Zayn peeled off Dallas’ disguise.
The Floridian was stunned by the reveal and swiftly clattered by Zayn’s Helluva Kick, and because of the NXT ban imposed on him following his loss to Big E in a Win or Go Home encounter in May, Dallas was told to skedaddle.
Plus, in a battle between America and France, the seven-foot Colin Cassady crushed Sylvester LeFort with the East Coast Crossing while the Gallic grappler’s Legionnaires comrade, Marcus Louis, looked on despairingly.
