Last week, Lucky Cannon said goodbye to the WWE Universe. Which two men go home tonight?

We are live from Bakersfield, California and your announcers are Michael ‘Extra Cheese’ Cole and Josh ‘Tough Enough was better’ Mathews. Your host is Matt ‘My ears bleed on PPVs too’ Striker.

The rookies come to the ring while the pros for five of the rookies are on the stage.

Matt is with the rookies in the ring to remind us about the double elimination and how there will be three men left for the season finale in two weeks. The rookies are going to be given one minute to talk about anything other than why they shouldn’t be eliminated.

Percy talks about 3D and he says that he would need more than a minute to talk about double D. The three ‘Ds’ are the way he lives his life. Desire, dedication, and determination. Desire means you gotta know what you want. You have to be dedicated to the craft and put your time in. You also need to be able to go get it. Percy says that he has the desire, determination, and dedication to win Season Two of NXT. OH YEAH!!

Alex is next and he talks about Alex Riley. Alex says that he knows that his behavior might not have come correct with the WWE Universe. Maybe he made a mistake because he is ranked fifth. Maybe he shouldn’t have picked on Kaval because he couldn’t defend himself in real life. Maybe he shouldn’t have thrown a rabbit’s foot at Lucky Cannon, but he says that the world needs bartenders. Alex says that he shouldn’t have called Matt a nerd on national television. Alex says that it was funny so he doesn’t regret that. Alex says that if he didn’t do that stuff, he wouldn’t . . . he wouldn’t be out of time.

Michael talks about his competition. Michael wonders if Percy is smiling or scared. Kaval is the man who is not about the size of the fight in the dog, but the size of the blah blah, blah. Michael asks if you have seen a Chihuahua in a dog fight. He says that Husky won’t win because he is winning it. Michael calls Alex Riley the David Otunga of season two. He talks a lot but can’t wrestle for a lick. Michael says that you are looking at the winner of NXT and the most talented person in the competition. You are also looking at a future WWE Champion.

Kaval is next and his topic is NXT. Kaval says that behind every great man is a great woman, but he has two of them. He says that he is going to be the hottest trending topic on Twitter. Kaval says that he is going to go far because he leaves people in awe. He says that Showtime is too kind. He says that Riley whine. He tells Michael that he will be a star in no time. Husky is breaking molds and breaking all labels, but what he breaks best are buffet tables. He says that you can call him a rookie, but he is the only reason for some total nonstop action.

Husky Harris is the final contestant and his topic is cowboy boots. He says that if you grew up in the south like him, if you don’t have a pair of cowboy boots, you aren’t tough. Husky says that he always had a pair of boots. He says that they were Barry Windham’s boots. When he puts them on, he turns into a monster, the army tank with a Ferrari engine. He says that the devil wears cowboy boots and it is a coincidence that he does too.

Matt says that the first elimination takes place right now.

Matt says that some of the pros aren’t here but they have voted.

We go to the random elimination Generator and it is . . . Percy Watson.

Matt lets Percy say goodbye.

Percy says that he wants to thank the WWE Universe for their support and votes. He thanks MVP and says that he learned so much. He says that he can’t be angry or bitter. He says that he will take some time to study and evaluate himself and get better. He is also going to take some time to have some fun.

Michael Cole and Josh Mathews join Matt in the ring. Matt asks Michael who should win and who should be eliminated. Michael says that impact means the ability to effect change.

The person who is an internet creation and darling, just like Susan Boyle. He says that Kaval should be eliminated. He should take his unimpactful stare with him when he is eliminated.

Josh says that since the Michael Cole show is over. He says that he is right. With what we saw from Kaval and the others. He says that Kaval should be eliminated and that Alex Riley should win.
