– WWE NXT Results 5/4/16 (Eric Young Debuts and faces Samoa Joe)

NXT is back home at Full Sail University as Samoa Joe makes his first appearance as the new NXT Champion. Joe said that despite the best efforts of Finn Balor, his reign as champion is just like death and taxes, inevitable.

A new era is proclaimed by Joe as he now runs things and will happily beat down and choke out anyone who opposed his rule. The champ is cut off by some unfamiliar entrance music. No one is sure what to make of it until the big screen displays the name Eric Young.

EY emerges with microphone in hand and holy &^%@ chants from the NXT faithful. “You know me, and I know you” are the first words uttered by Young as walks to the ring. Young calls Joe the baddest man in the land and states that the only thing in life that’s guaranteed is change.

Young continues as he points to Joe’s title and says “I collect those” as he promises change for Joe and himself. Joe leaves the ring, gets to the ramp and says EY doesn’t belong in the same ring as him and that he will beat his ass the next time he sees him.
