WWE NXT Results: Rising to the Challenge

Still tending to his bruised ribs after last Tuesday’s epic encounter with World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan was given a rude awakening by his WWE Pro, The Miz. While in the middle of a session with a WWE trainer, Bryan was interrupted by the United States Champion who informed him that WWE Superstars have to compete even when they’re hurt and then sent him out to face Jericho’s NXT Rookie, Wade Barrett.

Ever the warrior, the talented Rookie stepped up to the challenge and attacked his larger opponent with everything he had. But Bryan’s amazing tenacity wasn’t enough to overcome the severity of his injury or the 270-pound bare-knuckle fighter standing in front of him. The massive Barrett focused on the wounded midsection of The Miz’s Rookie, repeatedly drilling him into the mat before picking up the pin. To add to Bryan’s suffering, Chris Jericho entered the ring after the bout and put the agonized competitor in the Walls of Jericho. Full results.
