6/5 WWE NXT Results: Justin Gabriel vs. Adrian Neville, Tyson Kidds Wants a Rematch, Summer Rae Returns to NXT

-We get a "goodbye Bo" video package. Because everyone is incredibly sad to see him leave NXT. 

Adrian Neville vs. Justin Gabriel

Quick feeling out process to start, with both guys trading lock-ups and arm drag attempts. Neville looks to fly over the ropes, but Gabriel hits the ring and knocks him out with a clothesline. They brawl to the apron and the champ ends up hitting a senton splash off the apron. They roll back into the ring and Neville hits a missile dropkick for a close two-count. He locks in a standing last chancery (I think?), but Gabriel tosses him over the shoulder with a belly-to-belly suplex, then gets frustrated when he can't pick up the pin. Gabriel tries for a springboard moonsault, but Neville dodges, tries for a moonsault of his own, but is caught with a dropkick; both men down. Justin up first, and he goes to the top rope and  motions for the 450 splash, but Neville dodges. The champ with a few kicks, a running dropkick in the corner, and the Red Arrow for the solid win. 

Winner: Adrian Neville

After the match, Tyson Kidd comes down and gets in the ring, obviously upset about the way things ended last week on NXT Takeover. He grabs a mic and the fans start a "what?" chant – he says he deserves that, since he lost his match last week, and is truly embarassed by his performance. He admits that Neville was the better man last week, but asks for a rematch for the NXT Championship. Neville asks if he wants to do it one more time, and they shake hands on it. They leave the ring, no tension, no attacks, no turns; that's how the show ends. 

KILLAM: Pretty anti-climactic way to end an otherwise good match, and decent post-match segment. I'm always down to see more from Tyson and Neville, especially after last week's performance. I love, love, LOVE that they are featuring the champ more, to the point where he's on every single broadcast, week after week. That was something I criticized heavily with the first month of NXT on the Network – he was almost NEVER around – and they've definitely stepped up.
