Michael Tarver vs Daniel Bryan
Tarver powers Bryan into the corner then hits him with shots to the ribs, but Bryan explodes out of the corner and hits a dropkick. He works on Tarver’s arm and then kicks him in the chest repeatedly, and goes up top and hits a big missile dropkick. Miz and Alex Riley run out during the match and Bryan tells him to get in the ring, but Tarver uses the chance to roll Bryan up and steal the win.
After the match Bryan hits a suicide dive on Miz and Riley on the outside, but Miz eventually gets the upperhand with help from Riley and Tarver, and he hits the Skull Crushing Finale on the briefcase. Miz finally leaves and backs up the ramp with Riley as trainers check on Bryan.
Winner – Michael Tarver
Josh Mathews tries to get a word with Miz backstage about what he just did, and he says ever since Bryan came on the scene, everyone has been saying Bryan is special and he is better than Miz. Miz says shame on everyone, and the next breakout star is Alex Riley. Riley says Bryan is boring and he appreciates Miz, and he will be the winner of NXT 2, while Bryan is lucky to have a job.
Nexus is shown talking in their locker room and Darren Young makes the announcement that he will face John Cena. He says Cena brutally attacked him last month and he will take Cena out tonight. Otunga says he respects Young steeping up and they all stand behind him in his decision and try to psych him up.
