With a heated issue that has escalated before the NXT Universe’s eyes week by week, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and Leon Ruff upped the ante with fitting brutality, battling throughout the Capitol Wrestling Center. Ruff dug deep into his bag of tricks with an avalanche crucifix bomb and a poison rana off the apron to the outside and even bashed “Swerve” with a toolbox. But Scott received assistance from former NFL defensive lineman and WWE Performance Center recruit AJ Francis, who caught Ruff off the staging hour before he dropped him in savage fashion. By then, a “Swerve” victory was academic following the JML Driver, and he left with an entourage that featured Francis, Ashante “Thee” Adonis and Briana Brandy.
