Whose genius idea was it to have a damn high flyer participate in a brawl for all fight vs an ex college football guy? This is giving Hager/Wardlow a run for it's money for worst "fight" of the 2022.

This is what is all about. Best Aussie in the biz today @admin Big Pete

Blake Christian just fumbled the bag. Damn shame. Cora Jade upgraded to the NXT champ and nephew of Rick Steiner. With a heel turn comes a new boytoy.

Xzero saying tonight is the last night for some NXT talents. Place your bets, boys.

I think Mandy is losing her belt to Zoey and all of Toxic is going up.

Same with Melo/Trick.

D'Angelo's beating Escobar, we're getting Escobar's stable over to RAW....maybe to feud with Lashley for the US Title or going after The Mysterios. Unless Escobar is getting a title shot vs Breakker, there's nothing left for him to do.

Agreed with TA all going, to SD as Xero has pointed out. Not sure I would have Stark be the one to end it, thought it made more sense for either Perez or Lyons to do it but alas. Still think Rose has 1 more feud after this, just don't buy Stark being the champ. I think Roxanne Perez or Lyons still take the title, maybe former is safer bet. 

Cameron Grimes seems main roster destined, same with Roderick Strong who will lose Diamond Mine.

Not sure about Trick & Melo, feel it's way too soon but I do think Hayes should be the next feud for Breakker. He needs one main title shot before he gets to go to main roster.

Is this Paul Heyman doing the intro?

A callback to the old ECW Heatwave shows.

Fabian Aichner got repackaged as a rich male model, and still in NXT, but is being pushed as a singles wrestler.

Marcel Barthel stayed with Gunther, promoted to main roster but is firmly a sidekick.

Which is the sign of more faith?

is it just me or was that not a pin? like, at all, since melo's legs were under his shoulders keeping them elevated off the mat?

Ooh, Gallus getting the callup to NXT proper.

wait are you supposed to do the ice bath before competing? always thought it was after

*fans chanting Legado*

Vic: There is no doubt who the audience is cheering for in this one

*fans applaud D'Angelo's theme*

Do you think Prince Pretty is brought back under HHH?

I disagree with having Cora Jade going over Perez. I guess the latter won the breakout tourney so the former needed something but I thought Perez would have been rocketed to the NXT title, this doesn't do it.

i would, of course, rather wwe just let the 'holy shit' chant go.

but of the options, i'd rather hear a bleep for 'shit' than this weird audio drop out

I think it was a regular match, so there's room for them to go various weapons/cages/etc. for rounds 2 and 3.

Looks like Santos is ripe for a call-up.

I wonder if the rest of Legado joins him?

Escobar and co. going up, probably to RAW. Don't see this as a blemish. 

UK Invasion tonight

I’m glad we’re seeing some overdue transfers but I hope NXTUK doesn’t get canceled.

Maybe we’ll finally get Jinny.

I think they're still contracted to D'Angelo's mob.

Also I get the tradition of leave the promotion on your back, but I dunno if that should count for NXT, which counts in WWE continuity as the minor league right underneath the majors. You should leave on top, primed and ready to face competition at the next level.

As it is, if Santos gets called up tomorrow he's gonna be the guy who just lost his faction to Tony D, so he... failed upwards?

Jinny, Bea Priestley, Satomura, there's some talent in the women's division...makes me wonder if more NXT US women get called up ala Toxic Attraction or Elecktra Lopez they replenish this with more talent.

I told you guys, I write for NXT. Ghost write.

Choo/Stratton is gonna be Lights Out? Does that mean it's going to be unsanctioned?

Well he already technically back he is probably going to fight Shayna for undisputed LRLR champion at the next special.

Really hope a lights out match is straight up them fighting in the dark so no one can see anything, but you hear occasional grunts and wrestling noises.

Like that issue of Alpha Flight where Snowbird fought a villain in the middle of a blizzard.

Does Io's former tag partner have a character yet because if not she would be the worst person for Mandy to drop the title too.

What happened to Jacy's hat?

Got a first class pass to Friday Nights. 

I wonder if Triple H is up for bringing back NXT releases. People like Leon Ruff and Persia Pirotta never really got a fair shot.
