The pyros hit and we’re live in the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Amazingly, the ring apron is changed and we’re off. Matt Striker opens the show in the ring. He introduces the five eliminated Rookies – Michael Tarver, Daniel Bryan, Skip Sheffield, Darren Young and Heat Slater sitting ringside in street clothes. Striker calls out the WWE Pros – Chris Jericho, The Miz, Matt Hardy, WWE United States Champion R-Truth, William Regal, Christian and CM Punk (with mask).

Striker then introduces the three NXT finalists. Ranked #1 Wade Barrett, "A List" David Otunga (ranked #2) and Justin Gabriel (ranked #3). The Pros sit in chairs at the top of the ramp while the three finalists join Striker in the ring in their street clothes.

Striker congratulates the three of them for making it this far. He says they have cultivated a dream for the past 15 weeks. He says two will go home but only one will become the next breakout star and get a title match live on pay-per-view. Striker says since there are only three left there will be two Pros polls tonight. Essentially what that means, they will be double scrutinized by the Pros. It’s announced they’ll face off in a triple threat match up next.

Chris Jericho celebrates with Barrett in the ring. We got to the top of the ramp where Matt Striker instructs the Pros to cast their first poll of the show. While they huddle, we go to Mathews and Cole. Time for another introduction.

Regal says he’s been stuck on this show for 15 weeks without a live microphone and tells someone to do something. He takes off his coat and challenges Truth. Truth does a weird, creepy hip thrust. Jericho tells him to sit down he hasn’t won a fight in a year. CM Punk says he’s seen enough of everything NXT and goes to the back.

CM Punk def. Kane in a Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match

After Rey Mysterio shaved CM Punk’s head at Over the Limit, those in attendance and watching all over the world waited to see just how Punk would look. However, The Second City Saint didn’t give the WWE Universe what they wanted. Instead, he concealed himself behind a skin-tight black mask, emblazoned with S.E.S. lettering. Protruding from the mask was Punk’s still-intact beard.

Although his symbol of purity had been taken, Punk seemed to embrace his new appearance and used it to fuel his fight against Kane. As Serena distracted the referee, Luke Gallows punched The Big Red Monster in the head. With Kane still reeling, Punk capitalized and hit the Go to Sleep for the Fatal 4-Way qualifying win.

Rey Mysterio def. CM Punk and shaves his head (S.E.S. Pledge vs. Hair Match)

DETROIT – Bald loser. That sums up CM Punk’s night at Over the Limit after Rey Mysterio defeated him with a seated crucifix then shaved his head.

After Mysterio dispatched Punk in their highly-competitive Straight Edge Society Pledge vs. Hair Match, Punk’s minions tried to protect their leader from getting what was coming to him when a hooded stranger attacked Mysterio from behind.

Next, when Luke Gallows and Serena stormed into the ring, it looked like Rey was going to suffer even more at the hands of the S.E.S. But after emerging from an ominous crimson glow, Kane rushed to the ring to help drive off the S.E.S.

After The Big Red Monster chokeslammed Punk – and there was no one left to save the savior – The Ultimate Underdog prepared to take away Punk’s symbol of purity.

After acquiring two pairs of handcuffs that Luke Gallows brought to the ring, Mysterio handcuffed both of Punk’s arms to the ropes and delivered his second hard-hitting 619 of the night. With Punk helpless, Rey delivered the long-awaited head shaving.

It was clearly a cathartic experience for Mysterio – after having to endure months of verbal and physical taunting from Punk and his S.E.S. cronies – and a painful one for Punk.

Mysterio’s victory – besides saving him from having to do the unthinkable and join Punk, Serena, Luke Gallows and who knows who else in the S.E.S. – finally gave him the upper hand he had been seeking since their last two pay-per-view encounters.

With the symbol of Punk’s purity now gone, how will he react? And, what will the members of the S.E.S. do now that their leader has failed to back up his words? Find out on the next SmackDown at 8/7 CT on MyNetworkTV.

Rey Mysterio & MVP def. CM Punk & Luke Gallows

Two days before he will face Rey Mysterio at Over the Limit, CM Punk inducted three members of the WWE Universe into The Straight Edge Society. Following the pledge, the new inductees had their heads shaved to show their devotion in actions as well as words.

Mysterio then emerged, putting a quick end to the festivities when he revealed a doctored photo of The Straight Edge “savior” with his head shaved bald. The Straight Edge Society took out their frustration by attacking their new members and knocking them from the ring.

Later, Mysterio teamed with MVP to take on The Second City Saint and his “sin-free soldier” Luke Gallows. As The Master of the 619 attempted to dial up his favorite maneuver on Punk, the hooded stranger – who had attacked Mysterio on three separate occasions – once again emerged out of nowhere. This time, The Ultimate Underdog proved ready for the surprise. After attacking the anonymous assailant with absolute fury and ramming him into the steel ring post, Mysterio used his supreme athletic ability to counter Punk and pick up the quick pin.

Will Mysterio’s mock image of Punk’s bald head become reality this Sunday? Or will The Masked Superstar be forced to take the Straight Edge Pledge?
