Posted By: Jack Crawford on Mar 09, 2016

WWE NXT Results 3/9

We are back at Full Sail University this week for the first time in a few shows. Tom Phillips and Corey Graves are on commentary.

William Regal comes out to the ring for a promo. He says last week Baron Corbin took unprofessional actions by attacking Austin Aries. Corbin deserves disciplinary action, but Regal won't punish him because Aries asked him not too. Instead, Aries asked for a 1 v 1 match v Corbin which will take place at NXT Takeover Dallas. He then hypes up the 2 out of 3 Falls Match as he walks to the back.

Samoa Joe is out first and then we see that Sasha Banks, Hideo Itami and Michael Hayes are at ringside for tonights Number One Contender Match. Sami Zayn comes out next. Before the match we get the 'formal' ring introductions with both superstars in the ring.
