Please be aware that everything you read in the subsequent paragraphs is an actual, massive, legitimate spoiler for what will happen over the next several weeks of NXT television.You may read on only at your own risk. But if you’re the sort of person who just simply cannot wait until next week to find out what happens next, congratulations! This post is for you!
These tapings should take NXT television at least most of the way through December.
Results from the 11/30/16 NXT tapings:
— NXT alum Percy Watson was the third man in the commentary booth for the tapings.
1. Tian Bing defeated Wesley Blake. This was reportedly a dark match.
— #DIY came out to celebrate their tag title win with the crowd. They got in the ring, but before they could cut a promo, they were interrupted by the Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering, who staked their claim to a title shot, having won the Dusty Classic. The Revival then came out and claimed to be the true No. 1 contenders. The Authors shoved the Revival, and Ellering promised they would be the next champions.
2. Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe defeated No Way Jose and Rich Swann. Sawyer Fulton was not present with the rest of SAniTY, and Young stomped on Fulton’s jacket and threw it out of the ring. During the match, Big Damo made his debut, slamming Jose into the ring post. Young hit his finisher and got the pin. Damo left by himself.
3. Ember Moon defeated Kimber Lee. This was Kimber’s NXT debut. Moon hit her finisher and got the pin.

5. Tye Dillinger defeated Eric Young. Dillinger was the first to earn a spot in the Fatal 4-Way. He won by disqualification when he was attacked by Nikki Cross shortly after the match began. Big Damo arrived and destroyed Dillinger in the ring, then left without the rest of SAniTY again.
