Cody Rhodes def. Lucky Cannon in a Five-Minute Challenge

While berating Lucky Cannon at the end of last week’s WWE NXT, WWE Pro Cody Rhodes told the NXT Rookie he’d be lucky to last five minutes with him. So this week, the WWE Pro put a determined Cannon to the test in a Five-Minute Challenge, meaning he didn’t have to defeat Rhodes, but merely last five minutes in the ring with him. But Lucky’s luck ran out before the five minutes were up, as the former Tag Team Champion dominated the match and defeated him in just 3:58 with a Cross Rhodes as the WWE Pros looked on.

Ted tried to brib Mark Feurestein into letting him go-gm the show Monday night by saying he would have a “shiny new car” waiting for him outside. Big Show came in, & Mark proceeded to tease taunt Ted. Big Show made the suggestion that him & Mark tag against Ted & Virgil. Ted accepted. Later on,Big Show & guest gm, Mark Feurestein, def Ted & Virgil in a tag match.
