March 9 , 2010 NXT results The March 9 , 2010 Edition of NXT is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , which took place at the Key Arena in Seattle , Washington . Summary . On Tuesday ’ s WWE NXT , CM Punk and his Straight Edge Society associates persuaded Rookie Darren Young to become a part of their group . The Pro pointed out that Young ’ s win last week came with the Society ’ s support , and that he should be more open to new ideas , because with a little help and guidance , Straight Edge can make anyone a winner . After an explosive , post - match brawl on last week ’ s WWE NXT , R - Truth & his Rookie , David Otunga , put their differences aside to earn a tag team win over The Miz & Daniel Bryan , another Pro & Rookie duo who aren ’ t exactly the best of friends either . The Miz threatened Bryan with his career before the match , saying he ’ ll be sure he ’ s thrown off the show if he ’ s pinned . But it was the United States and Unified Tag Team Champion The Miz who was pinned by Otunga , who upped his record to 2 - 1 . With his team ’ s loss , Bryan has yet to win a match on WWE NXT , but this home state defeat is one Washington native Bryan solely blames on his Pro . During the match , The Miz began to fight with Bryan , distracting the referee , allowing R - Truth to capitalize with a kick to The Miz , allowing Otunga to pin him for the win . Plus , The Miz may not have been on his A - game after the previous night ’ s Raw when R - Truth and his WrestleMania tag team partner , John Morrison , intentionally disqualified themselves in their match against Show - Miz after sending the “ Cleveland Screamer ” over the top rope and punishing The World ’ s Largest Athlete . Heath Slater sent an important message to Carlito Tuesday night , a week after the Superstar spit apple in the Rookie ’ s face on WWE NXT : He is not backing down . With his Pro , Christian , at ringside , Slater defeated Carlito just minutes after the apple - spitting Pro said he should be happy he humiliated him like that and should be begging him to do it again . Carlito ’ s Rookie , Michael Tarver , could only watch in shock as Carlito was rolled up by the “ one - man rock band ” Slater . With this victory , Slater earns the impressive distinction of becoming the first Rookie to defeat a Pro in singles action on WWE NXT . Justin Gabriel wowed the WWE Universe for the second week in a row , earning an impressive victory over fellow Rookie , Wade Barrett , on WWE NXT . Under the guidance of his Pro , Matt Hardy , Gabriel capitalized on his tag team win over Skip Sheffield last week and continued his forward momentum , pinning Barrett after hitting the 450 Splash . Gabriel ups his perfect record to 2 - 0 , surely making the NXT Pros take notice . But after the victory , Barrett ’ s Pro , World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho , entered the ring and hit Gabriel with a Codebreaker and locked him into the Walls of Jericho , preying on the Rookie ’ s back , which Barrett targeted throughout their match . In just the third week of competition on WWE NXT , several Rookies earned monumental victories . Despite some occasional clashes with their Pros , each proved why he could be the next Superstar to join the Raw roster .
