Heath Slater beat Alex Riley via pinfall.

Long was forced to introduce Cesaro with numerous superlatives. Aksana came to the ring with Cesaro. Headbutt, forearm, then a running boot in the corner by Cesaro. Cover got two. Dropkick attempt by Riley, but Cesaro held the ropes. Cesaro showed off his raw power with a suplex, then kicked Riley in the back. Riley was grounded with Cesaro grabbing the shoulders and keeping his arms behind him. “USA” chant by the fans. It never fails. Riley fired back with right hands and made a babyface comeback. Spinebuster, but Cesaro grabbed Riley’s ear to break it. Then he hit his finisher for the win.

WINNER: Cesaro, at 2:23. Interesting that WWE places Ryback and Cesaro’s virtual squashes back-to-back.

Aksana said there’s no hard feelings between her and Teddy. She said Antonio is her lover, then she made out with him in front of Long again.

There’s some inconsistency on commentary, as Maxine acts like she has to be with Curtis all day long, but last week it was said that they only need to be chained together on NXT. Curtis and JTG continue to isolate Riley, then Riley with a sunset flip on Curtis, and we hear someone calling spots. The crowd is rallying behind Riley, but they can’t get him out of the corner. Maxine ticks off a list of Curtis’s flaws, and JTG lands the Mugshot for two. Regal lauds JTG for showing Curtis how to work in a tag team.
