Quick Note: Alicia Fox NEEDS to get a new entrance.
Just tuned in, Alicia has the upperhand but Melina locks in Alicia in the ropes.. Impressive by Melina! Reversal also by Melina.. Maxine gets involved and cause Melina a minor injury. Alicia pushes Melina back in the ring. A pin by Alicia.. Kick-out by Melina at 2. Alicia with the “rib-breaking” kicks.
Alicia keeps stepping on Melina’s hair (oh no she didn’t!) and keeps brutally kicking her. Here comes our girl Melina! Her famous tribal scream and she’s back and better than ever! Double knee to the back of the head and here we go.. Oh wait. What’s this.. Shoot! Faceplant and pin by Alicia. MELINA KICKS OUT. Some kind of reversal by Melina (didn’t see it, it was so quick!) and a very flexible pin by Melina. Melina wins!
Post-Match: Melina celebrates while Maxine and Alicia sulk.

Cue the opening and we are welcomed to Portland. Matt Stryker welcomes the remaining ladies to the ring.In a surprising development Matt is wearing a sweater vest. Matt congratulates the ladies for surviving the first elimination and we begin a new set of challenges.
Challenge #1: Name that Tune.
The girls will hear a tune and can blast a horn to give their answer as we play snippets of WWE theme songs. Each correct answer gives the contestant 100 points. A.J. gets the first 2, Naomi gets number 3, A.J. gets the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth tune. Now the songs are worth 200 points. A.J. gets tune 1, tune 2, tune 3, tune 4, and misses tune 5.
A.J. wins the worst segment in wrestling history. At least it is the worst since NXT last week and mercifully we head to a break.
Last night on WWE NXT, one of the 6 Rookie Divas got voted off, and we FINALLY had our match between Kaitlyn and Vickie Guerrero:
Someone gets eliminated tonight, but which one of the six will it be? What will happen when Kaitlyn meets her pro in the ring?
Matt Striker is on the stage and he brings out the six rookies. Matt reminds them that this is the biggest night of their careers because the WWE Universe and the pros will determine which one of them will no longer be a part of the competition. Matt reminds AJ that she has won three competitions and is closer to immunity. Kaitlyn, Naomi, and Jamie can still get immunity.
Mechanical Bull Ride
It is time for the first challenge and it is time to get the mechanical bull out for a Mechanical Bull Riding Competition. The person who stays on the bull the longest will win the competition. Matt wants someone to demonstrate so the Bellas volunteer. They ride first and it is on super slow. Then it speeds up and they are finally thrown from the mechanical bull.
Naomi is first and her time is 12.5 seconds. The next rookie is Aksana and her time 17.9 seconds so she in lead. AJ is the next to mount the mechanical monster and after commiserating with Kaitlyn before donning Kurt Angle’s cowboy hat. AJ with a time of 9.6 seconds. Jamie is the next one to go and her time is 10.9 seconds. Maxine gets to be on top . . . of the bull and she lasts 9.8 seconds. Kaitlyn is the final one to challenge the bull and she ends up with 10 seconds.
Aksana get her first win in competition and then she will face Maxine in the ring.

Michael Cole comes out and says the majority of the people actually want him on this show. I have to agree. Oh my god I never thought I’d write that. Michael Cole says he’s gotten letter and phone calls asking him to return. He had an epiphany: NXT without him is unwatchable. It’s like Bristol Palin trying to dance. NXT without Michael Cole is just simply bad. What a character he could be. He calls his loyal fans the “Cole-Miners”. Cole says he’s back for CM Punk and Josh Mathews. Michael Cole is back on NXT!
Talk the Talk Challenge
Matt Striker is in the ring with the rookie divas again. This is the “Talk the Talk” Challenge. They’ll be given a random topic to talk about and the audience will judge them. Jamie is given the topic of “teeth”. Michael Cole and CM Punk hilariously rip on her during that. Cole asks for his gong and Punk wonders what her promo has to do with molars. Naomi has nothing to say about “toupees” and just wants to wrestle.
AJ is given the topic of “caffeine”. She cuts a solid promo about passion and love of the business. Michael Cole gives her a standing ovation. Aksana’s topic is “llama”. She says “First of all…” and Punk hilariously thought she said “Constable”. She has no idea what a llama is. She doesn’t even know what a camel is. They just buzz her.
Maxine cuts a terrible promo about a “foot”. Michael Cole says it was horrendous. She says she could squash AJ with her thought. Kaitlyn then cuts the worst promo of the night on the topic of “ignition”. She talks about people’s underwear and says nothing. The commentators were hilarious throughout. They’re singlehandedly making this show watchable.

Last night on NXT, things got a little wild. Let’s see… Vickie shows more respect to her rookie, we have a Joke Off… Isn’t this supposed to be wrestling? And, 2 actual matches.
Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn def. Primo and AJ
When the ladies were in the match the action wasn’t the greatest. Kaitlyn is showing her greenness. Ziggler gets a trio of slaps from AJ after Ziggler decided to block her from making the obligatory tag to Primo. Once Primo comes in, although getting in a few quick offensive moves, it doesn’t take long before he gets hit with the Zig Zag.
Viewers get to learn more about Maxine. She went to school for Forensic Science and used to work in that field.
Joke Off
AJ tells the joke about a blonde hiding in a potato sack and saying “potato” when the sack is kicked by the police. Aksana speaks in her native tongue before repeating a wife/girlfriend joke. Jamie gets the crowd involved in her “knock knock” joke. Naomi tosses out the ol’ calling a dog with no legs joke. Maxine gets in the face of AJ and the two get into a little scuffle. Kaitlyn picks on AJ as well and slaps her. The two ladies scuffle as well.
The crowd was booing every lady besides Jamie. Suffice to say, Jamie won the competition.
Michael Cole is not happy and repeatedly hitting a gong. He tells the divas, Matt Striker, and the fans in attendance that they all deserve to be gonged.
Jamie Keyes def. Aksana
We get some attempt by Jamie to work the arm of Aksana. Aksana is able to hit a couple clotheslines. After missing a charge attack, Aksana is rolled up by Jamie for a pin.
Naomi’s time to shed some light on her time prior to NXT. Dancing for years, Orlando Magic crew, athletic ability.
We get a shot of the post-match celebration of Ziggler and Kaitlyn from earlier. Vickie was not pleased to see Kaitlyn being embraced by Ziggler. Backstage, Vickie tells Ziggler he might be in danger of losing all “this” (Vickie).
Obstacle Course
Vickie interrupts Dolph and Kaitlyn talking about her win. Vickie tells Kaitlyn that she needs to talk to Dolph. Vickie wants to know what the deal is. He tells Vickie that she was excited that she won. Vickie says that if Dolph pulls that again, he will lose ‘all this’ as Vickie does random hand gestures.
Kaitlyn is the first up but Vickie wants to show her how to run the course with perfection. We get some stretching and yoga before Vickie hits the course. She does a pretty good job, despite struggling on the big wall. The push-ups were done better than some of the guys on NXT season 2. She eventually trips and falls on her face. The screaming commences. The crowd chants at her.
It is now time for the rookies to go. Kaitlyn goes first and her time is 36.5 seconds and she adds some flair by going across the finish line on the container. Aksana is next and she give time of 37.2 seconds. The next participant is AJ and her time is 46.0 seconds. Maxine finishes in 39.1 seconds. Jamie is the next to go and her time is 36.8 seconds. The final person to challenge Kaitlyn is Naomi. Her time is an afterthought at 57.4 seconds.
Kaitlyn lives up to Vickie’s guarantee and Vickie celebrates with Kaitlyn.
The results for the Obstacle Course are as follows;
Kaitlyn: 36.5 seconds
Aksana: 41 seconds
AJ: 46 seconds
Maxine: 39.1 seconds
Jamie: 36.8 seconds
Naomi: 57.4 seconds (due to having to do the tires and push-ups over)
Michael Cole hits the gong again. He calls all of this ridiculous. He says that this show violates everything about his journalistic integrity. He says that he was a war correspondent and he is doing this. Cole says that he is done with this show.
...the NoH8 Campaign. NoH8 is a silent protest photo project against California Proposition 8. But, we're not the only ones. Former WWE Divas Lilian Garcia and Maria Kanellis do too.
