January 21 , 2015 NXT results The January 21 , 2015 Edition of NXT is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE , which took place at the Full Sail University in Winter Park , Florida on January 15 , 2015 . Summary . This week ’ s edition of NXT kicked off with two major announcements from General Manager William Regal . He announced that the next NXT live special on WWE Network will take place on Wednesday , Feb . 11 , as well as an eight - Superstar tournament to determine the No . 1 Contender to NXT Champion Sami Zayn ! Still furious after Kevin Owens ’ attack last week , Zayn stormed the ring and pummeled Tye Dillinger relentlessly before demanding that Owens come to the ring . When Regal tried to calm him down , Zayn said he won ’ t be wrestling anyone else , unless it ’ s his longtime friend . Though he was reluctant to reward Owens ’ behavior with an NXT Title match , Regal finally relented when Zayn demanded a non - title match . At TakeOver on Feb . 11 , Zayn will finally get his hands on Kevin Owens ! The tournament to determine Zayn ’ s next challenger began with Finn Bálor taking on former Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel . The third - generation Superstar was extra confident and may have underestimated his unusual opponent , as Bálor sent Axel to the arena floor and followed up with a daredevil dive over the ropes . The aggressive Axel eventually pounced on Bálor , clobbering him with fists and boots , but may have taken a second too long to gloat . A missed double axe handle off the ropes gave Bálor the opening he needed to hit the Sling Blade and the devastating top - rope double stomp he calls the Coup de Grace to reserve a spot in the semi - finals . The two former BFFs looked to be on equal footing in the latest chapter of their rivalry , until Becky Lynch tried to stick her nose in the proceedings , only to catch a clothesline from the champion . That set off the Irish Diva , who ran into the ring and attacked Charlotte , costing Sasha the championship . The duo known as Team B . A . E . then ganged up on the champion until Bayley made her return from injury to even the odds . Bayley picked up the title to return it to Charlotte , but took too long a look at the prize , in Charlotte ’ s eyes . After the champion yanked the title out of her hands , Bayley stunned Charlotte with a Belly - to - Bayley Suplex ! The tension boiling over among the four Divas led to Regal making a Fatal 4 - Way for the NXT Women ’ s Championship at TakeOver ! Taking on the impressive , but less experienced duo of Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy , The Vaudevillains set out to prove they ’ re still the top contenders to the NXT Tag Team Titles . However , Aiden English & Simon Gotch may have been blinded by their rage . Blake was able to use his leverage and send English straight into a big kick by Murphy . A stunned English stumbled back into a roll - up by Blake , giving the rookies the upset victory ! After the bout , Blake & Murphy issued a challenge to NXT Tag Team Champions The Lucha Dragons . Kalisto & Sin Cara have accepted and will defend their titles against the confident challengers next week ! Hideo Itami was hoping to join his friend Finn Bálor in the semi - finals of the No . 1 Contender ’ s tournament , but would have to get through the wily Tyler Breeze to make it . Prince Pretty did well at avoiding Itami ’ s hard kicks at first , but soon found himself on the receiving end of a fierce boot to the chest . Though Prince Pretty took control after throwing Itami face - first into the turnbuckle , Itami refused to give up . The Japanese star battled back with fighting spirit , stunning Breeze with a tornado DDT onto the ropes . After surviving another onslaught from Breeze , Itami secured his spot in the semi - finals with a huge flying boot to the face .
