October 30 , 2014 NXT results The October 30 , 2014 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 September 25 , 2014 . Summary . Sami Zayn was out to continue along his road to redemption this week on NXT , but standing in his way was a huge roadblock , in the form of Titus O ’ Neil . Could the fiery French - Canadian get vengeance for his crushing loss to Titus and move on toward the NXT Championship ? Five tag teams were fighting for a title opportunity in this Battle Royal . In order for a team to be eliminated from the bout , only one member had to be thrown over the top rope and have both feet touch the arena floor . Though The Ascension eliminated every other team in the bout , Hideo Itami ended Konnor & Viktor ’ s championship dreams , making his presence felt and giving Aiden English & Simon Gotch an opening to dump the monsters and earn a future title opportunity ! After the bout , Itami rushed to battle his monstrous rivals , but the numbers game caught up with the Japanese sensation once again , as The Ascension left him lying after a vicious attack . Later that night , a furious Itami vowed that if Konnor & Viktor want a fight , he will bring a friend next week ! The self - proclaimed “ Princess of Staten Island ” faced her first true test in NXT , in the form of main roster Diva Emma . Carmella showed no fear in the face of a veteran opponent , taking the fight right to Emma . Though she had fun at her inexperienced opponent ’ s expense , Emma soon fell victim to Carmella ’ s vicious submission hold and had no choice but to tap out . NXT ’ s Wrecking Ball was ready for destruction this week as he took on Justin Gabriel . Though The Cape Town Werewolf tried to stick and move to evade his foe ’ s attack , Dempsey bulldozed Gabriel and pummeled him into the canvas . Bull scaled the ropes and hit a diving headbutt to seal the victory . The stoic Baron Corbin made quick work of yet another opponent this week . With the NXT Universe keeping time , Corbin connected with the devastating End of Days and picked up the win in less than 20 seconds ! After losing his hair because of his former partner ’ s cowardice , Marcus Louis wasted little time in getting his hands on Sylvester Lefort . As he soundly defeated his former friend with a devastating slam , the frightening words Louis screamed echoed throughout the arena : “ You did this to me ! ” The resilient Sami Zayn did not back down against the much larger foe he lost to several weeks ago . In fact , Zayn traded blows with the huge O ’ Neil , until Titus connected with several crushing strikes , dazing the French - Canadian and allowing Titus to impose his will . Though Titus muscled him around the ring with ease , Zayn refused to stay down . The fiery phenom found a second wind , battling back to his feet and hurling Titus into the turnbuckles with an exploder suplex , leaving him in perfect position for the Helluva Kick to win the match . While Zayn was able to move past Titus O ’ Neil on his road to redemption , there is still plenty standing between him and the NXT Title . After the bout , Zayn was confronted by Tyler Breeze , who said that if Zayn really wants to be NXT Champion , he ’ ll have to go through Prince Pretty . The rematch from TakeOver in May has been made by NXT GM William Regal for next week ! Can Zayn overcome the Superstar who defeated him to become No . 1 Contender ?
