Dot Net readers Thad Perkins and Brian Thornhill are at the WWE Smackdown taping in Baton Rouge, La. and are sending in the following updates on the WWE NXT taping. You must refresh the page for the latest updates.

Dark Match

1. Dean Ambrose defeated Luke Hawkins. Ambrose came out and cut a short promo that drew good heat, but it was not a great promo. He won with the rear naked choke chicken wing.

WWE NXT Taping

Matt Striker and William Regal came out for NXT.

Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins out to no heat. Looks like they'll be facing the Usos. Nice pop for them with full entrance dance. Got the crowd on their feet.

1. Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins defeated The Uso Brothers. The crowd was flat at first, but picked up toward the end with nearfalls. We're simple folk here in Louisiana, easily entertained. Tyler Reks scored the pin. Not sure which Uso took the fall.

Maxine came out to the announce booth. No one seems to care much. Her video is played nonstop like some sort of hell. Kaitlyn came out next. Then Tamina Snuka. Not much reaction from the crowd.

2. Kaitlyn defeated Tamina Snuka. Kaitlyn won by submission in a match that was far too long. Roughly three people cared.

3. Justin Gabriel, Percy Watson and Derrick Bateman defeated Johnny Curtis, Mike McGillicutty, and JTG. Decent pop for most everyone. Brian noted that he didn't think anyone knew who the heels and faces are. He knows he didn't. Justin made the pin on JTG. No 450 splash, so it was a bit disappointing. Decent six-man tag overall, though.

They changed the ring up to wrap up NXT (thank goodness, wrote Brian).
