Alex Riley

And the Wyatt Family made Bray proud as they defeated Yoshi Tatsu and Percy Watson.

Leo Kruger and Kassius Ohno proved themselves to be the better team, forcing a lifeless Alex Riley to tap out.

Ohno and Kruger advance.

Finishing out first round action, Bo Dallas and Michael McGillicutty would shut down Primo and Epico to secure their spot in the semifinals.

Just, there's the air of menace when he walks into the NXT arena.

Corey Graves put it simply.

He said, "Alex Riley was the kind of guy who played football in high school while I was making out with his girlfriend underneath the bleachers." [upbeat music]

He's probably got her name-

that that does play a part in it.

Like, there's a reason why, if I remember correctly, the timeline with Loki and Alex Riley cross paths, and I'm sure the company probably thought multiple times, I think we can get this Alex Riley over, guy.

I think we get him over more than we could fucking Loki, Senshi, whatever the fuck his name was.

You know, like that, they, I'm sure, believes that at points because

[laughs]

The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Al- [laughs] Alex Riley.

I was a phenomenal fan of Alex Riley.

I love the man.

I just wish he hadn't have been buried the way he was.

Introducing first, and in total to my weight of 465 pounds,

Alex Riley on the left, Derek Bateman on the right.

This is an explosive and energetic tag team, William, that has great enthusiasm in ring.

I

can only say that I have one thing I have to point out, and it's only fair that I do.

Alex Riley and Derek Bateman have never teamed before.

You have to wonder about that.

How, you know, cohesive are they as a unit?

I'm declaring anarchy on NXT.

[cheering] Oh, and by the way, Alex Riley, the next time I see you, you're gonna do the same thing as everybody else.

What?

Stay down.

Yeah, very unfortunate.

We have some follow-up on why, uh, [laughs] Michael Irvin had or may have had that Alex Riley figure.

[laughs]

I thought that was gonna be the biggest mystery in the history of our podcast, and then we just found out very quickly and easily-

I, I saw the pic- the snapshot in one of our group chats, but I'm so confused.

Bro, all I know they were selling like his collection, and in his collection is an Alex Riley [laughs] basic Mattel figure.

Bro.

[laughs]

I, I said to him, he didn't respond to me.

[laughs]

We got football helmets, footballs, and then a Alex Riley [laughs] what the fuck?

I mean...
