Berwyn Eagles Club Final - #1 CM Punk d. #3 Alberto del Rio, 75-12Now that you know the results, here are the matchups.
Turners Hall Final #2 Daniel Bryan d. #9 Tim Donst, 75-12
American Legion Final #3 El Generico d. #12 Mark Henry, 56-31
Easton Funplex Final #4 Antonio Cesaro d. #3 Rachel Summerlyn, 64-20
In the first semifinal, Berwyn Eagles Club #1 CM Punk will take on Easton Funplex #4 Antonio Cesaro. The former WWE Champion went through Chiva Kid, Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, and Alberto del Rio to win his region, while the current United States Champion dispatched Silas Young, Amazing Kong, Eddie Kingston, and Rachel Summerlyn. The last time these two faced off in a singles contest was in 2004 in IWA Mid-South. Both were different men back then. Now, they're WWE superstars with a taste for gold. Punk is looking to get to his third straight final. Cesaro just wants to feel the strange sensation of... winning.
In the second semifinal, Turners Hall #2 Daniel Bryan does battle with American Legion #3 El Generico. Bryan took out Darin Corbin, Christopher Daniels, ACH, and Tim Donst, while Generico defeated Kyle Matthews, Wade Barrett, Austin Aries, and Mark Henry. The last time this match happened was in 2009 in Ring of Honor, as Generico pulled out the win in a Proving Ground match. While Generico now goes by a different name in NXT, for all intents and purposes, he's the first indie wrestler to break through into the Final Four. However, he has the defending Champion to go through. Is a rematch in the finals this year too inevitable, or can Generico (or Cesaro, for that matter) break through?
