Matt tells us that we will have the same voting system as Season Two. It is time to meet the rookies.

Kaitlyn goes first and Matt asks her to tell everyone who she is. Kaitlyn says that Matt is handsome and then she says that she is not just the girl next door. She lived two houses down.

She says that she was the homecoming queen and class clown in the same night. She says that there is something different about her and she hopes to capture your heart.

Vickie asks Kaitlyn if that is the best that she has. Vickie says that if Kaitlyn is going to represent her, she has to do it well. Vickie tells Kaitlyn to do it again.

She says that it is an honor and a privilege to compete in front of the WWE Universe. She will always give 110 percent. She says that she will win the competition.

The final rookie is Naomi. Naomi says heeeeeeeeeeeeeey to the WWE Universe. She says that the WWE Universe has been missing something for a long time and that is Naomi. She says that she is a fighter and she does not back down. She will not be intimidated. She says that talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. When all is said and done, her actions will show why she will be the Season Three breakout star.

Last week, we lost two more rookies. First Percy Watson had to take Showtime on the road. Then we saw Husky Harris finally end his run. Then we saw Cody Rhodes show that not only is he ‘dashing’, he is a man of action.

We are live on tape from Fresno, California and your announcers are Josh ‘When do I get to guest star on Warehouse 13’ Mathews and Michael ‘Internet Darling’ Cole. Your host is Matt ‘Now I’m not that bad on Pay Per Views, am I’ Striker.

The pros come out to sit on the stage.

It is time for the remaining rookies to come out and they are Kaval, Alex Riley, and Michael McGillicutty.

Matt Striker joins them in the ring and he reminds us that twelve weeks ago, there were eight rookies who wanted to be a WWE Star. We are now down to the final three with one week to go. Matt wants to know from the rookies how it feels to have gotten this far.

Michael says that this is the greatest job in the world. This is the greatest time of his life. He credits Kofi for a lot of his success. He gets to perform in the same ring as his father and that makes it all worth it.

Alex says that he expected to be here. He says that this contest is about finding the next breakout ‘STAR’. That means a total package. He says that he is that total package. He looks the part, acts the part, and talks the part. Alex says that he will have a pay per view opportunity while Miz will have the briefcase. He says that Sheamus better hope that he doesn’t get there first because Sheamus is dismissed.

Kaval says that it is indescribable. He thanks the WWE Universe for the support that they have given him. He was almost ready to celebrate last week due to one pro because his rookie was eliminated. That pro should be ashamed of himself because he couldn’t get his rookie into the final.

Cody tells Kaval to watch his tongue.

Kaval says that Cody got into the company because of his father and he didn’t earn his way into the company.

Cody says that he wants to know what else Kaval believes in besides booster seats and really bad promos.

Kaval says that he is the last of a dead breed because he earned his way to get here to perform for the WWE Universe. Kaval says that it is easy to talk from 50 feet, but what about face to face.

Cody says that he is floored at Kaval’s originality. He attacked Cody’s heritage and that is so original. He wants to put it as politely as he can. He says that Kaval is the gum that he scrapes off his boots. He tells Napoleon that he is a wee little rookie, while Cody says that he is a pro. Cody says that his answer is no.

Montel Vontavious Porter says that he cannot stand here and let it go. Porter says that Kaval stands up and makes a challenge. Cody says that this doesn’t concern him. Does Kaval sleep at the foot of MVP’s bed or is that for his babysitters as Cody looks at Michelle and Layla. Porter says that he has been watching Cody and since Cody won’t accept Kaval’s challenge because he isn’t on the same level, why not accept his challenge for a match tonight.

Cody tells Porter that just to shut everyone up, he accepts the challenge.

We go to commercial and a trivia contest is next.

We are back and it is time for the WWE Trivia challenge with the three rookies. Matt says that in order to be Superstars, you need to know about the history.

The first question was to name the participants in the Iron Man Match at Wrestlemania 12. Michael McGillicutty gets it right and takes the lead with 100 points. The next question is who Pete Gas, Joey Abs, and Rodney are part of what group and Kaval gets it right to tie McGillicutty. The third question is whose entrance music starts with You Think You Know me and Michael takes the lead back. The fourth question is what billionaire did Vince McMahon put his hair on the line against and Michael extends his lead. The next question is which wrestler’s finisher is the Killswitch and Kaval edges closer to Michael. Question number six is who performs Triple H’s music and Michael is wrong and Kaval ties Michael. We are at the end of round one. Michael and Kaval are tied with 300 points while Alex Riley is watching.

Round two starts with a question about the first Intercontinental Champion and Kaval takes the lead. The next question asks who won the Diva Search in 2007 and Michael ties Kaval. The next question is to finish the theme for Demolition and Kaval is back in the lead. The next question is what did the Dynamic Dudes ride on their way to the ring and Kaval is close and Alex Riley is just as far away from the correct answer while Michael does not answer.

Matt asks Alex about his great performance so far and Alex says that he does not care. Kaval suggests that the varsity villain must have spent more time on the field and not in the classroom.

The next question is to name the person who won the WWE title the most time and Alex gets on the board.

Kaval wins the challenge and Michelle and Layla celebrate with him. Matt says that Kaval will have a feature about him on WWE.com tomorrow.

Josh reminds us that voting begins at Noon Eastern on Wednesday after Michael Cole stops gushing about Alex Riley getting one answer correct.

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.

Current Plans For Season 3 of NXT

The current plan for the third season of WWE's NXT program is to feature four male wrestlers and four women wrestlers from developmental vying for a main roster spot and a Championship opportunity. The reason for WWE adding Divas to the mix is because they’re running low on fresh stars from both sides of the roster in FCW.

The belief among most people in WWE right now is that their latest signing, current Ring of Honor Champion Tyler Black, will be featured as one of the 4 male competitors, but those plans could change between now and the start of the next season.

There’s still no word yet on where season three of the show will air once the current season ends on the SyFy network in 3 weeks, although there is talk that the show could take the form of a segment each week on either RAW or SmackDown if there's a case the company can't find a television network to air the program.

We go to commercial and it is nail biting time for all of the rookies except Michael McGillicutty.

We are back and it is time for the moment that you have been waiting for. Who joins Titus O’Neil in NXT Limbo?

The rookies are at ringside.

Matt says that only one can win NXT and earn a title match on pay per view. Matt also tells us that the rookie at the bottom of the poll will be eliminated, that is unless Michael McGillicutty finishes in seventh.

The new poll is ready.

In first place is Michael McGillicutty. He is followed by Kaval in second place. Third place is Alex Riley.

Fourth place is Percy Watson. Fifth place goes to Lucky Cannon.

That means that Husky Harris or Eli Cottonwood will be eliminated.

The man in sixth place is Husky Harris so Eli Cottonwood is eliminated.

Matt asks Eli if he has anything to say before he takes the walk of shame and turns in his knives. Eli decides to attack Husky Harris and some of the other rookies join in the attack while Kaval and McGillicutty watch from a distance. Eli walks up the ramp and Morrison tries to calm him down and he pushes Morrison.

Matt asks Husky if there is anything that is not connecting with the WWE Universe. Husky says that they have seen the warpath he has made over the last few weeks. He says that it is his competition to win.

Matt asks Micahel what it feels like to be number one. Michael says that he came here to win NXT. He is on the right path. Michael says that he will not lose on NXT and he will become a World Champion.

Matt asks if he was concerned about Eli jumping him. Alex says that he is a better athlete than Eli and he knows that he is better than Michael and Kaval. He says that he will be number one.

Michael and Alex push each other and they brawl at ringside. Lucky tries to hold them off. Eli comes back despite being eliminated.
