WWE NXT Recap - Striker's Kidnappers Revealed, Natalya Vs. Kaitlyn
Welcome to the April 4th edition of the WWE NXT Recap.
Percy Watson vs. Tyler Reks w/ Curt Hawkins
Percy gets an early advantage and puts on a clinic which causes Reks to go outside to regroup. Reks kicks Percy in the knee upon entering and takes control. He stomps Percy in the corner then puts Percy's arm behind Percy's back and slams him on it. Reks continues to work the left arm; Percy tries to comeback but fails.
Reks slaps Percy in the back of the head a few times while Hawkins looks over at Regal and points to what's going on. Percy gets up a big boot and stops a charging Reks. Reks hits a low blow but Percy brushes it off and hits 2 consecutive drop kicks and then a flying clothesline. Percy plays to the crowd and does his "Heisman Splash" move. Reks fights back but Percy rolls him up for the win.
Winner by pin: Percy Watson
Percy smiles as the ref raises his hand and he sells the left arm. Hawkins, with his cane, and Reks confront Percy in the ring. Regal grabs the mic and says if they touch Percy or anyone else for that matter, they will be suspended for 6 weeks. They defiantly retreat. Regal makes sure the announcer announces Percy as the winner again to rub it in, and for a second it seems like Reks and Hawkins will charge the ring but they don't.
Natalya is backstage talking to her seamstress as Michael McGillicutty approaches. He starts to talk alluding to the fact that both he and she are 3rd generation wrestlers but Natalya tells him not to bring her family into his beef with Tyson Kidd and she storms off.

Natalya vs. Kaitlyn
The girls have a quick hand shake before they lock up. Natalya hits a nice bridge for a near fall and then puts her hand out to Kaitlyn who slaps her 'a five.' These don't look exactly sincere. Kidd says that McGillicutty is trying to say that Kidd is trying to be a Hart. Kidd says that he's not a Hart but he's very proud of his roots. Kidd says he was 12 years old the first time Stu Hart took him down to the Dungeon.
Natalya and Kaitlyn are having a nice match in the ring, going back and forth. Natalya drops Kaitlyn on the back of her head and picks her up by the hair. She asks Kaitlyn if she wants to play with her. Kaitlyn counters a slam attempt and comes off the ropes with a cross body. She goes for a pin, but Natalya powers up and swings around and applies the Sharpshooter; Kaitlyn starts tapping immediately.
Winner by submission: Natalya
Kidd leaves the announce booth and hugs Natalya in the ring.
