The show kicks off with Matt Striker goes through the obstacle course first before the arena ever even fills up. Polls open TODAY at noon Eastern time, 11 Central. Don’t forget to vote for Kaval!

Striker’s time? 41.5! I’m not sure if that’s good bad. The Rookies are doing the course first, so we shall see if he’s up to standards!

Oh just kidding, Cole’s a big fat liar. MVP’s VIP Lounge kicks off the show first. Can LayCool be his guests?! Or Percy. Hmpfh. One of these days, I’m telling you. LayCool is either going to be on a talk show or they’re going to host their own! And yes, it will be called, “REAL TALK!”

Percy and MVP make up, then Matt Striker comes out. He says that next week there will be an elimination and MVP should say why Percy should be number one in the poll. Psht, not as long as Kaval is around! Percy will just have to settle for number two. Striker cuts Percy off, Cody Rhodes come out and it’s their turn to say why Husky Harris should be number one.

…Striker announces a match. Uh, LayCool better get a turn! And what happened to the obstacle course Cole was yammering about being next?

A Rookie video for Lucky Cannon plays. Layla says, “He’s gotta a good look.” Michelle agrees, “He does have a good look and he has the World’s Strongest Man trainin’ him.” There ya go, the truth, I mean, what LayCool thinks of Lucky.

The Pros are now out to watch the action! LayCool are all dolled up in their retro outfits! Cole tries to redeem himself by saying LayCool and The Miz are sitting next to each other and they are three of the greatest Pros of all time. Nope, didn’t work.

Another Rookie video for Michael McGillicutty. Michelle tells us, “He’s as close to perfect as it gets!” Layla also agrees, “He sure is!” Then Michelle adds, “But he’s not Flawless.” “No way!”

Matt Striker finally asks LayCool and Kaval why he should be number one. It’s about time! Michelle says there are plenty of reasons. She and Layla take turns saying he has passion, heart, skills, smarts and best of all, he has LayCool, and that means he’s almost Flawless! Kaval says he has the confidence to go up against the greats like Evan Bourne, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. He has the ability but we have the power to make it happen. Cole says that was horrible. Yeah, well, your face is horrible, SHUT IT. Nobody asked you.

It’s finally time for the obstacle course! The Rookie who completes it the fastest has immunity next week. Kaval is up! He’s the only person who does the push ups right. The big heavy rolly cart thing stops him up though and he doesn’t manage to beat the top time of 26.7. LayCool are still cheering him on though! He did good!! “That was so good!” Michael McGillicutty wins the challenge. Michelle starts trash talking him a little bit! Ohhhh!! Layla joins in, and then the show ends. Why’d they have to cut it off on the good part?!

Don’t forget to head over to WWE.com today to cast your vote for NXT Rookie Kaval! Let’s keep him in the competition, keep him at number one and continue to see LayCool grace our television screens every Tuesday night!
