WWE.COM NXT REPORT: DANIEL BRYAN AND DERRICK BATEMAN SHARE THE SAME BRAIN; HOW WILL WE SURVIVE WITHOUT THE 'RAT' JOKES?; WILL TED AND MARYSE EVER BREAK UP . . . AND IF IT HAPPENS, WILL IT MATTER?

By Richard Trionfo on 2011-01-19 03:06:27
We start off with a look at the misadventures of Conor O’Brian and his rat like behavior and the hatred that Ricardo Rodriguez has for Conor. Then we go to the Bellas and Daniel Bryan as well as the Derrick Bateman double date from WCW creative. Then there is Byron Saxton and his new pro Dolph Ziggler because Dolph was never a fan of the well dressed man (from the waist up). Brodus Clay and Ted DiBiase are also having issues because Ted feels that Brodus is not showing him the respect that he deserves for losing to everyone in WWE and being berated by Maryse. What will happen this week because we have another elimination to deal with.

We are live on tape on the internet and your announcers are Todd ‘Derrick Bateman gets on Raw, but I can’t’ Grisham and Josh ‘How many days until Tough Enough returns’ Mathews and your host is Matt ‘This is your brain on NXT’ Striker.
