NXT LOCKDOWN, Year 4

This is a stacked card. Bryan will have a hard time retaining his title.

Match 1. Adrian Neville vs. Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio landed a release German suplex. Neville came back with a kick and standing moonsault. Razor Ramon ran down and attacked Del Rio. Del Rio tried to lock Neville in the cross arm breaker, but Razor broke it up. Neville landed multiple kicks and a running knee to the head. Del Rio locked in the arm breaker again, and eventually won with a single-leg Boston Crab.

Match 2. Razor Ramon vs. Sheamus   NXT United States Championship
These two brawlers traded blows early. Razor ducked a clothesline and landed a power slam. Razor hit his patented fall away slam, but got a near fall. He then hit the Celt...I mean, Razor's Edge to win. Maybe Sheamus returned too soon.

Match 3. Kenta vs. Tyrus
Kenta stomped on Tyrus and caught him with a running bulldog. He hit another bulldog and diving elobw. After a pin, he connected with a running single high knee to the head. Tyrus came back with some body strikes. Kenta ducked one and lifted him up for the G2S to win.

Match 4. AJ Lee vs. Paige   NXT Women's Championship
AJ landed a hurricanrana and drove a knee to Paige's back. Paige had AJ in the tree of woe and then choked her. She then hit Ram-Paige, but AJ kicked out. She continued her offense with a Lou Thesz Press and slamming AJ's head against the mat multiple times. Paige blocked a kick and rolled AJ up to win the title.

Match 5. Extreme Rules - The Usos vs. International Airstrike
Kidd caught Jey with an enziguiri as Gabriel threw Jimmy into the steel steps. All four men were back in the ring. Gabriel hit Jey with a jumping side slam and Kidd dropkicked Jimmy. Jey hit Kidd with the full nelson bomb and Jimmy hit Gabriel with a super kick before Jey got the three count.

Match 6. Table - Kevin Steen vs. Bully Ray
Ray placed Steen on a table. He went to the top, but as soon as he dove, Steen moved out and Ray sent himself through a table. On the outside, Steen grabbed Ray and hit a tiger suplex, just missing a table. Steen caught Ray with F-Cinq. Steen had Ray on a table, but Ray moved out of the way. Ray hit the Bully Cutter and went for a table. Steen blocked a punch and sent Ray through it with a side arm slam.

Main Event. Bryan vs. Rusev vs. Dallas vs. Gunner vs. Ziggler vs. Aries   NXT Championship
This is an Elimination Chamber match. The first two entrants were Bo Dallas and Daniel Bryan. This is an uphill battle for the champ. The first man to join them was Gunner. He went right after Bryan. All three men were on the outside steel floor. Dolph Ziggler left his pod and attacked Bo. The fifth man was Rusev. Austin Aries joined the fray and now all six men were in the ring.

Ziggler connected with a super kick on Bryan. Bo hit Ziggler with the Bo-Dog and a running high knee. Ziggler came back with the Heart Stopper elbow drops. Aries hit Gunner with the brain buster and eliminated him. Aries caught Bryan with a hurricanrana and held on for the pin and eliminated the champ. Dallas reversed Ziggler's roll up and eliminated him. Rusev hit Aries with a super kick and Bo got the pin. After kicking out of a pin, Dallas speared Rusev and won the title.

Recap: Two big title changes took place one month before the final PPV. Paige rose up the ranks very quickly. It's Bo time!
