NXT started with Matt Striker standing in the ring. "Welcome to another season of NXT. This season has surprises in store for everyone. So, without further ado, meet the pros!" Everyone gave a standing ovation as the eight pros walked to the ring. In order, the pros were Zack Ryder, Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, CM Punk, John Morrison, Yoshi Tatsu, and finally, Christian.

"Alright, pros, are you ready to meet your rookies?" When everyone nodded, Striker continued. "Okay. Zack, here is your rookie. From San Jose, California, standing at 6 ft. 4 in. tall and weighing in at 240 pounds, Joshua Bander!" Joshua walked down the ring, wearing black shocks, brown board shorts and a black wife beater. His black hair was spiked just like Zack's, he definitely qualified as a broski. Sliding in the ring, he walked to his pro, who instantly offered a fist bump, and he accepted it.

"Alright. Cody, here's your rookie. From Mobile, Alabama, standing at 5 ft. 9 in. tall and weighing in at 215 pounds, Kale Robins!" A black man walked down the ramp in name brand South Pole jeans, a white singlet and brown construction boots. Once in the ring, he just stood next to Cody.

"Wow, not very humorous, are you, Kale? Anyway, Sheamus, your rookie is from Queensland, Australia, standing 6 ft. 8 in. tall and weighing in at 275 pounds, Steven Logan!" Steven walked down and smiled at everyone. He fit the whole good-kind-of-guy persona. Wearing a gray tee, plain blue jeans and black Rebocks. Once in the ring, Sheamus gave him a man hug.

"Kofi, your rookie comes from São Paulo, Brazil, standing at 6 ft. and weighing in at 226 pounds, Ayres Maia!" Ayres had a slim build, so he was made for high flying. He wore a gray wife beater, black skinny jeans and gray nikes. Once in the ring, he only smiled at the crowd and stood next to Kofi.

"Wow, a future high flyer. Punk, your rookie is from the Everglades in Florida, standing at 6 ft. 10 in. tall, weighing in at 282 pounds, Holata Middleton!" Holata, with his long black hair, walked down, with no shirt, but brown construction boots and worn blue jeans. Once in the ring, Punk gave him a pat on the back, which Holata returned.

"We now have the first Native American wrestler since Chief Jay Strongbow. Now, John, your rookie comes from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, standing 6 ft. 2in. tall and weighing 238 pounds, Jackson Gilmore!" Jackson walked down and wore a denim jacket with no shirt on underneath to show off his abbs, black jeans and white hightops. And his hair was shoulder length and black. Once in the ring, John gave him a man hug, which was returned.

"Wow, you guys could be twins. Yoshi, your rookie hails from Mexico City, Mexico, standing 5 ft. 7 in. tall and weighing in at 195 pounds, Chimo Ortiz!" Chimo walked down the ramp wearing a black traditional luchalibre mask. No shirt, just blue jeans that went past his knees and black wrestling boots. Once in the ring, he bowed to Yoshi, showing the Japan Native his traditional respect. Yoshi grinned and bowed back, showing mutual respect.

"And last, but certainly not least, Christian, your rookie is from Charlotte, North Carolina, standing 5 ft 3 in. and weighing in at 110 pounds, Parker Maddison!" The final rookie was truly a shocker. It was a girl. Red shoulder length hair with neon blue streaks, neon blue converses, brown cargoes that were low rise, showing lining of her white girl boxers, silver studded belt and neon blue suspenders hanging from her hips, and a neon blue and red plaid sports bra, like AJ's. She ran down the ramp and slid into the ring. When she stood up, she went to stand next to Christian, smiling like a school girl.

"Now that the rookies have been introduced, pros, it is time for their first challenge. And it's called 'Name the Music'." Each rookie was handed an air horn as the pro left the ring to sit on the stage. "The rookies must name the Superstar that matches the theme song. Each correct answer earns you a point. The one with the most points is the winner. Now, first song..."

The song was called "No More Words". Parker immediately blew her horn. "Parker! Name the Superstar." Striker held his mic in front of her.

"Jeff Hardy." She said in a sweet voice.

"Is it Jeff Hardy?" Striker asked. The dinged and he said, "That is correct! It's the Charismatic Enigma. Next song please."

"You Think You Know Me" Played and both Chimo and Parker blew their horns. But Chimo was a little faster. "Chimo! If you get this wrong, I go to Parker."

"Edge." He answered simply. The buzzer went off, showing that he was wrong.

"No, not Edge. Do you know, Parker?" Striker asked.

She nodded excitedly as she answered, "Edge & Christian." She then pretended to do a five second pose as a laugh, and the WWE Universe loved it, even Christian was smirking.

"Is it Edge & Christian?" The bell dinged. She was right. "Correct! Great job, Parker. On a roll so far. Try getting this next one."

"Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" played, and all the guys had no clue. Parker smirked as she looked at them. She decided to wait a little, and started head banging to the beat. After ten seconds of fun, she blew her horn and laughed. "Parker, you seem to know these songs. Care to enlighten us."

"Seriously, am I the only one who remembers this. It has to do with something Christian was involved in. What I mean is the leader of the Alliance, Stephanie McMahon." She answered as if what she was saying was logical.

"Is it Stephanie McMahon?" Once again, the bell rang. The WWE Universe cheered for her. "Correct! So far, Parker is dominating this season. You guys better catch up or you'll get schooled by a girl." Everyone chuckled. "Next song, please."

"Move Along" played and, of course, Parker got it. "Parker! I might as well stand next to you." Striker stood next to the North Carolina native and held out his mic.

"Layla." Was her answer.

"Is it Layla?" He asked. The bell once again dinged. "Wow, believe it or not, we're halfway through the songs. So, since there's only four left, if you get the next one, Parker, you win and earn one immunity. So, play the next song."

"Viva La Raza" started and Parker just snatched the mic and answered. "Eddie Guerrero!"

"Is it Eddie Guerrero?" Striker asked when he got his mic back. The bell dinged and the fans cheered. "Alright, first challenge won by Parker Maddison."

Parker jumped and screamed. Her first challenge wasn't even that challenging. But a victory none the less. Striker looked at the camera and said, "When we get back, these rookies will tell us a little bit about themselves."
