As you can see in the picture above it looks like Alex Riley reopened the wound back of his head at yesterday’s NXT show! There is no word on how serious the injury is or how long he will be out. On behalf of myself and the Alex-Riley.com visitors I would like to wish Kevin a speedy recovery and that it is nothing serious! As soon as more infos become avaliable, I will post them on the site! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Riley and Henry start it off. Henry quickly displays his strength. Riley tries to talk down Henry, asking him to take it easy because he’s “just a rookie.” Brilliant. Henry doesn’t bite and proceeds to beat down Alex before tossing him out of the ring. The Miz comes over to Riley and yells at him, demanding he get in there and “do something.”

Henry doesn’t waste much time, but sort of fumbles something and turns it into a clubbing blow instead. Tag to Lucky Cannon, who hits an arm drag and an rest hold less than 10 seconds into his start in this match. Riley reverses an arm lock and starts on the offense, but Cannon takes over and clotheslines him over the top rope. He goes for a springboard outside to Riley, but Riley counters and drives Cannon’s face into the steps in a pretty cool spot. We cut to break.

When we return, Riley’s on the offense. Tag to The Miz, who corners Lucky and taunts Mark Henry. Miz hits his running clothesline and goes for a pin. He gets 2.

Alex Riley gets a tag back in and goes for a rest hold shortly thereafter. Cannon starts to fight out but Riley hits a nice suplex for 2. Cheap shot to Henry, and he buys himself time to tag in The Miz. Short beatdown in the corner and a tag back. Cannon hits a bodyslam on Riley, and reaches for the hot tag but can’t make it before the Miz tags in. Cannon kicks off The Miz and tags Henry anyhow. Henry cleans house, then begins attacking The Miz. Miz gets tossed into his own corner and tags Riley in the process. Riley is the poor soul that ends up taking The World’s Strongest Slam. Mark Henry get’s the pin and the win.

Winners: Mark Henry & Lucky Cannon

Post-match, Henry gets a garbage can, like last night’s Raw, and dumps the garbage on Riley while The Miz watches on.

Husky says that Matt should know how dangerous he is and wonders if Matt is seventh. Matt asks Riley about how stunned he was at the rankings. Alex says that he is shocked that he is number four. He thought he was looking for champions. His boss, Vince McMahon gives them the chance to vote on the future and the person in first isn’t tall enough to ride the bumper cars at Six Flags.

Kaval tells Alex that if he thinks it is a fluke, he should listen to the WWE Universe.

Matt tells the rookies that it takes charisma and you need to be able to connect with the WWE Universe. Now it is time for the Talk the Talk Challenge. The winner gets to show their personality next week because they will host their own talk show

Thanks to my friend Sabrina from Sheamus-Oshaunessy.com for bringing this to my attention!

NXT Rookie Alex Riley suffered a wound to the back of his head while defending his FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship.

Alex Riley vs. Kaval ends with 9:54 left on the clock after Riley busts the back of his head open on the guardrails. I don’t know if this match will even make TV, because of the confusion. After Riley was busted open, the trainer came out and took Riley to the back. Kaval was left in the ring for a few minutes before going back to the locker room. Steve Keirn comes out and apologizes to the fans and says he will book the match at a later time, but he does have a standby match.

Sounds painful! I really, really hope that Kevin is okay. I wish him all the best. Get well soon, Kevin!!

Just letting you know that Kevin had to have some staples, but he’s OK and he’ll be back soon!
