The quick version

  • Perros del Mal, the AAA group of Daga, Angel Garza and Berto, came to the ring after Fatu pointed to Karmen Petrovic in the crowd, per PWInsider, F4W Online and Gerweck.
  • DarkState and Birthright had interrupted Fatu's call-out of NXT Champion Grayson Waller. All three groups brawled as the show went off the air.
  • WWE has announced two matches for NXT on Nov. 17, per PWInsider. Neither involves Fatu.

Zilla Fatu ended WWE NXT on Tuesday, Nov. 10, from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando by bringing Perros del Mal to the ring against DarkState and Birthright. PWInsider's live coverage, F4W Online and Gerweck.net all describe the segment. Our NXT results story could not report the end of the show. This story fills it in.

How it went

Per PWInsider, Fatu came out in an orange and black John Cena Classic shirt, thanked the fans and said he was "blessed" to be in the Classic. He began to call out Waller. DarkState's three members appeared in the crowd instead.

Dion Lennox told Fatu that Cruz was gone, "just like Dion said he would be," in PWInsider's account. He said Cena had handed Fatu a golden opportunity and that Fatu now wanted a title shot he would never be ready for. Birthright's music hit next. PWInsider says Lexis King and Charlie Dempsey told DarkState they were tired of groups like it trying to assert themselves.

Fatu told DarkState he would be happy to meet any one of them in the ring next week, per PWInsider. Wrestle Purists and Gerweck say he named Lennox. He then pointed to Petrovic in the crowd. Perros del Mal walked to the ring, with Birthright on one apron, DarkState on another and Perros del Mal on a third. PWInsider says Fatu left the ring as the others got in, and watched from outside as the show ended.
