Ripley/Raquel was the best women’s match I’ve seen. Ever

I just wish we didn’t see any of Dakota in it

but Dakota is a babe

and sometimes it looks like one of her boobs might pop out

makes sense.

it’s Raquel time for nxt

I feel like she should’ve been called up a long while back. Seems like she’s just been treading water for a bit in NXT.

seemed they kept her around to 1) finally face io ans 2) eventually put Raquel over. But not before beating her first...

 

[The Q]

Pretending that the UE are faces is....not working

 

[Judge Fudge]

makes sense.

Dark horse pick for Women's. Her and Io would make a good kickoff match, First match on the main card,

Good show tonight. Bummed about UE breaking up but Cole works better as a heel anyway. Plus, KOR and Cole produce bangers. If they aren't gonna call them up, at least this is something different.

Also, WWE signed Eli Drake. I hate the new name (LA Knight), which will take some getting use to, but he should be a lot of fun in NXT. It's been fairly flat in NXT lately so the addition of Drake and the Cole heel turn should add some pop

I feel like Eli Drake will be a good fit for WWE/NXT. He's got the charisma and a decent look, so he should get a decent push I'd imagine. Can't see how this will be good for that NWA show that Billy Corgan keeps claiming is coming back.

NWA has to be dead at this point. Damn near all their good talent has left. Drake now in WWE as well as Wade Barrett (even though he was just an announcer). Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks to AEW and Thunder Rosa might as well be to (not officially signed but its a given at this point). James Storm is back in Impact. Nick Aldis is like the only one left, still holding that belt thinking the promotion isn't dead, lol. Damn shame because they had a good product but covid killed them

I figured it was dead after they tried to do whatever that CarnyLand stuff was. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did since I don't see how they were really making any money to make it profitable. Don't know how much more money Billy Corgan has left of the Smashing Pumpkins stash. At this point, I consider Thunder Rosa a member of the regular AEW roster since she appears more than just about all the other women they have, even the world champion.
Aldis is almost like how Tommy Dreamer was with ECW in it's final days, trying to hold out hope but nothing will ever come of it. But I still feel like he'd be able to find work somewhere whenever it'd be offical that NWA Powerrr is no more.

 

[The Q]

Pretending Cole was anything but a heel was stupid.

time for Finn to move onto kross.

or maybe it’s a rematch with Dunne then Kross.

And I like how they made McAfee more of a heel with him being right.

Agreed with Finn. Maybe moving him on to McAfee...

But Kross and Escobar is intriguing

im torn. I hate matches with such great size disparities. But kross/Escobar is two of my top 5ish wrestlers on NXT. Maybe too 3 with Balor

and they Brought it.

Wouldn't mind seeing Storm/Shari during the 2 day WM. Again if their not doing Takeover the night before than give them Matches at WM. Make them the 3rd brand.

The Cole promo was different but effective and his actions were awesome. 1c on the top storylines in WWE right now.

Srill need to watch.

they are not the 3rd brand

they are the developmental one. Nothing wrong with it. Don’t get fans trying to make it more than it is.

Yeah but you don't think that they deserve a match on Mania?

Hell. Make it something personal like Cole/O'Riely

balor/kross seems like the end game. Might as well Do it then

it feels like they want to make it more than developmental when they sent Balor down there...but they just build their stories differently down there and I like that. Some stories appeal to different wrestlers more.

but they do need to shake up the rivalries down there a little more. They don't have Keith Lee and Dijakovic matches every week to lean on anymore.

oh fuck, I didn't realize they pushed Dijakovic up to be part of Retribution. I was wondering where he went.

Balor was recruited back to NXT by hhh since the main roster creative took him from ic champ to catering in about 2 months.
