WWE NXT results, live open thread for Jan. 8, 2015: Sami Zayn responds!

Here's a place to check results and comment along with the latest airing of WWE NXT in its regular final Thursday night at 9PM Eastern time slot on WWE Network (see the first NOTE below regarding broadcast time).

Check out our Thursday morning preview post to get caught up on what happened last week, and what we expect this week.

We'll post match results here, and we'll also have our regular reactions post later. In the meantime, and most importantly, this gives you Cagesiders a dedicated place to rave and/or bitch about whatever goes down on the best show WWE produces on a weekly basis - as it airs!

NOTE I: WWE Network is scheduled to release the show at 4PM Eastern time again this week, with a re-broadcast at 9PM.  Out of respect for working folks, we'll still update results and treat the evening run as the "live" show for the open thread.  If you watch earlier and want to comment, please treat it the same as you would spoilers, which are covered in...

NOTE II: Spoilers are out there for these pre-taped broadcasts, but yours truly and many of our regulars don't partake.  If you are going to post or discuss spoilers for this show before they happen, or results of future shows, please use the spoiler bar in your comment.

Enjoy the show!
