anybody else watching?

i'd post more but for some reason i have nothing to say about this tag match. like, it is perfectly cromulent wrestling

except for that bron 10m dash clothesline just now. that was pretty dope

i am generally unfamiliar with the sonic franchise but does knuckes really need a six episode miniseries dedicated to him?

The echidna had his own 32 issue comic spin-off, if anything it should be a six season series!

He's just a simple echidna trying to find his way in a hedgehog world

how many KNUCKLES signs are blaring in this arena right now

also sounds like someone tried to start a MEAT chant but got outvoted

Extremely confusing decision to have Breakker and Corbin continue the belts. Is Bron on SD or not? I would hate it if he double dips and gets good pushes on BOTH SD & NXT. Corbin is worthy of going back to the main roster as well, he's been on a little tear in NXT but RAW can def. use him for the midcard.

Axiom and Frazier aren't great but the belts would give them something to do.

Holy communication moly. Dijak was clearly leading the way there.

early NXT match of the night contender?

Probably more about riding Idris Elba to glory. 

Kiana James szn surrender

Do you think they'll ever release a Sonichu series, Blindy?

Also I'm going to need you to watch WWE Next Gen for Zena Sterling.

Full blown goofy Thea Hail is the best version, no doubt about it.

You didn't like 14-year old emo Thea?

It does look like she's still wearing the clothing that Jacy got for her though so maybe the friendship isn't dead

Jayne's just confused right now!

It was just a phase.

Ask Gigi, this is what Jacy Jayne is. Liking Jade Gentile/Jazmyn "The Almighty" Nyx with her though.

Kiana James & Fallon Henley are so good, IDK if they're NXT lifers ala how long Dakota Kai was but both are staples of the best women's division in the world.

NXT: Where the best women's wrestlers are.

Surprised Dame ate the pin since she's suppose to be the enforcer of the team. Not sure about that one.

I see Kiana getting called up first and Fallon left behind for a bit longer as the Nattie-style workhorse mentor of the women's division til the next gen (Petrovic et al) is ready

and as i type this Fallon looks like the most pissed off winner I've ever seen

also also since I didn't mention this before, this match should have had a vignette beforehand. WM weekend you have a higher chance of people tuning in, who haven't seen NXT and don't know the storylines going in

or maybe there was one and I missed it

Maybe in Chris Chan's head. 

Slava Ukraine....

I’d have loved a video explaining the 6-woman tag. I’ve only been following the main event stuff recently on NXT and this is the first show I’ve watched in full in a while - some context would have helped. 

You ain't wrong Baby Rock.

NXT: Where the best women's wrestling are

WOMENS NORTH AMERICAN TITLE!

Either Perez stays in NXT as a heel champ or she goes main roster, there's no other way around it.

There's your 1st ever Women's North American title winner unless Ogawa has dates conflicting with the tourney.

Her and Davenport gonna be nice in the finals.

Hey, a vignette!

I'm going to shamelessly take credit for this and say they read my post and created a video in two and a half minutes because I said something

hot take: while I understand the concept of 'going out on your back' and how it protects the wrestlers who will still be there it shouldn't apply to a brand that is explicitly promoted as the developmental league

"who should we promote to the big time? the one who sucks and lost, obv"

Roxy's heel wrestling is great; all she needs to do is work on her villainness promo skills and she's ready.

(Which is what NXT is for, so really not as much of a criticism as it might sound)

RIP Daffney. Can't help but think of her anytime I see Pax lately. Heavy inspiration.

No main roster for Roxy, masterclass performance. She's too good for developmental and I say that as a NXT fan.

Giulia: Not impressed. 

so Tatum Paxley really just showed up to do nothing?

Good to see they finally locked down Giulia.  With the rest of the joshi girls there should get her up to speed fast.  I imagine her nasty ass knee will have to go.  Not sure many girls will want to take it.

Also got to wonder, now they have her, who is next on their list to get from Stardom.  Every Japanese girl they peeled away has been a massive hit it feels like.  And many other of their girls on the main roster who did indy stuff cut their teeth there.

Saw all of her stiff moves are allowed outside the headbutt:




Yeah Blair Davenport if Satomura can't make it overseas should be the 1st feud she gets into if you really want someone who can showcase her. Gigi Dolin also has some familiarity. 

EDIT: Fightful writer clarified that she may have to limit some of the moves, probably. :lol: I think that was a main issue for SARRAY and why she could not find it in NXT. 

Dragunov and D'Angleo was an excellent match. What a brawl.
