The NXT title match last night between champion Trick
Williams and Eddy Thorpe ended with no real winner as both
stars were pinned by each other with two different referees
making the three-count.
With one referee out after a bump, a second referee joined
the fray and when the champ hit his finisher, the Trick
Shot, the first referee came to his senses and went for the
pin…along with the second referee in the ring.
Williams dropped on Thorpe but landed with both his
shoulders on the mat too. One ref counted to three for
Williams but the other referee simultaneously counted to
three for Thorpe, who had his arm on Williams’ body.
Thorpe’s right leg was under the rope, which supposed to
mean a break in the count, but that did not seem like it had
any effect on the planned finish.
NXT went off the air with everyone arguing and NXT GM Ava
trying to calm things down. After the show went off the air,
Ava declared Williams still NXT champion. That did not sit
down well with Thorpe, who got in Ava’s face. That led to
Shawn Michaels coming out at ringside as well and Thorpe got
in HBK’s face and shoved him as well. Thorpe was eventually
escorted to the back after Williams took care of business.
