The second to last week of NXT Season 2. Sniffle! Kaval has grown up so much, it brings a tear to our eyes. Okay not really, but we’re pretty sure somewhere Melina’s crying. Anyway we get a recap from last week when Cody threw his mega PMS fit. Such anger, such violence; we love it!

The Pros are introduced and LayCool come out looking gorgeous as usual. Michelle has on white pants while Layla’s wearing white shorts. What happened to matching?! Somewhere in the world is a law that says, “Michelle McCool needs to wear shorts as often as possible.” Sorry to Stacy Keibler and Chavo (yeah, we saw those shorts!), but Michelle’s got the best legs in the biz. Best legs, best abdominals, best everything! If the Flawless thing didn’t make sense to some before, hopefully it does now.

In the ring, the Rookies start talking about being in the finale three. Alex Riley says he has the look, he walks the walk and he definitely talks the talk. That is highly questionable, sir. Because you see, we happen to find you annoying and not really that cute. Move along please because Kaval is the total package! Kaval says the feeling is indescribable and he thanks the WWE Universe. He says last week he was ready to celebrate but couldn’t because a Pro lost control and was angry that his Rookie was eliminated when he should have been angry at himself for not getting his Rookie to the finals in the first place! That Pro is of course Cody Rhodes and Kaval doesn’t even bother trying to hide it.

Cody says Kaval should mind his tongue. (Layla sure minded it a few weeks ago. Wink wink!) Kaval has none of it and calls Cody out, saying he’s only where he is because of his daddy. Does somebody have some aloe vera for that burn!? Kaval says he’s earned his way here! He tells Cody that it’s easy to talk from 50 feet away so why doesn’t he come on down. Cody brushes it off, saying he’s “floored” by Kaval’s originality. He calls Kaval the gum he scrapes off the bottom of his boots. LayCool look to be twelve kinds of hacked off, standing up from their seats. Cody says he’s the Pro, Kaval is a wee little Rookie and his answer is no. He’s scared, he’s scared!

MVP adds in his two cents saying that Kaval just stepped up like a man, issued a challenge and Cody says no? Cody makes a comment about LayCool being Kaval’s babysitters and asks if he sleeps at the foot of MVP’s bed. Umm, that’s kinda creepy, Cody. MVP says no, but Kaval is his dog and LayCool are not his babysitters. MVP challenges Cody to a match and just to shut everyone up, Cody accepts it. Thank you.

Back from commercial we have the WWE Trivia Challenge. All three Rookies are around a big buzzer button, like the one on Family Feud. For round one, each question is worth 100 points and 20 points for round two. Matt Striker asks them various questions, easy questions might I add! Seriously, who doesn’t know Motörhead does Triple H’s entrance music?! Oh, that’s right, Michael McGillicutty and Alex Riley don’t! Actually Alex doesn’t seem to know squat about WWE hisory because at the end of the game, his grand total of a score was 200 points! Michael had 500 and your winner with 700 points, KAVAL!! While celebrating with LayCool, Matt Striker tells him what he’s won. Tomorrow at noon on WWE.com the polls will open up for the WWE Universe to vote for the next breakout star. Not only is he the total package, but Kaval will also have an advantage over the other two because his face is going to be plastered all over the site! WWE.com will have a special feature of Kaval!

Next Tuesday will be the season finale of NXT. Starting at noon tomorrow on WWE.com, the polls will be open and it’s time for our voices to be heard loud and clear! Or at least 50% of them, but still! Any little bit counts so be sure to head over there and vote!!! Sure Kaval deserves it, but honestly, how awesome will the reactions of Michelle and Layla be when he wins? So aside from voting for the total package, we’re also voting to see the biggest celebration in NXT history! There’s your incentive, now vote, vote, vote!
