They'rrrrrrre baaaaaaaack. Just when you thought WWE couldn't possibly continue NXT after a fourth season, they surprise everyone with a fifth season. And what a dandy this should be. Instead of FCW rookies, Season 5 will feature rookies who couldn't make the cut on other seasons of the show with quite the cast of WWE pros. Should be a good one!
And we are "LIVE!" from Houston, Texas. Todd Grisham and William Regal are our commentators and Matt Striker and Maryse are our hosts. This show is presented in WWEHD (TV-PG,V). This season's theme is "Redemption." Here are your rookies: Darren Young, Conor O'Brian, Lucky Cannon, Byron Saxton, Jacob Novak and Titus O'Neil.
Maryse says the rookies are working together to earn a spot on NXT Season 6. In this season, there will be no immunity points, instead there will be redemption points.
Now it's time to introduce the pros: Young will be mentored by Chavo Guerrero. Guerrero says Young can't take it easy like he did last time on NXT. He challenges him to get noticed. O'Brien's pro will be Vladimir Kozlov. Cannon's pro is Tyson Kidd. Saxton draws Yoshi Tatsu. Finally, O'Neil gets, and I kid you not, Hornswaggle.
