Ricky Saints defeated Trick Williams in a Last Man Standing match to retain the NXT Championship within the most important event of “WWE NXT.”
The match saw much of Williams punishing the champion and his bandaged torso, incorporating steel chairs, kendo sticks, and a trash can into the equation. He drove him through a chair with an uranage, following up with a garbage can shot within the corner before clearing the announcer’s desk to place him through.
Saints fought out, struggling back to his feet as Williams charged at him with speed. He moved out of the way in which, sending Williams crashing through the barricade as he got back within the ring and grabbed a kendo stick.
Saints then proceeded to batter Williams with it, dropping it only to search out a chair and proceed beating his opponent down with it before demanding the referee make the count. Williams had began climbing to his feet when Saints struck him down with a spear, but again Williams got to his feet as Saints searched for the Roshambo.
Williams fought out of it, taking the motion to the skin once more and clattering Saints with the steel steps for an additional count. Williams halted Saints’ rise with a Trick Shot, and once more, as Saints tried to get back up, Williams slammed him onto the steps.
Saints beat the count over again and tried for a spear to Williams, only to be sent crashing through the drywall at ringside. The fight continued and was taken into the gang, Saints connecting with a spear from the seats through the announcer’s desk, and Williams unable to reply the count for the champion to retain.
Because the show went off air, Oba Femi’s music signaled his return to confront the NXT Champion for the primary time since losing the title to him at No Mercy.
