I don't know how to share it, but Blake, Murphy & Alexa Bliss have a new shirt and Alexa has changed her look to match the Tag Champs. They're being labeled as "BAMF" -- the Blake, Alexa, Murphy Factor.

Alexa Bliss is so fucking gorgeous. Blake & Murphy are serviceable and are developing, but they needed something to make them feel less...just together.

I haven't read the spoilers, but I'd like to see a tournament to decide the next #1 Contender for the Women's Championship.

* Becky Lynch vs. Natalya
* Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss
* Charlotte vs. Dana Brooke
* Bayley vs. Emma

* Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss
* Charlotte vs. Emma

* Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte

Clearly didn't want anymore Blake sucks Murphy, that's ok chants

Blake seems...really solid. I don't know why, but I just think he has the goods in there somewhere. Murphy has genuinely impressed me at times. Plus he is friends with Paul London, and I like Paul London.

People might hate this, but I actually think NXT could bring in a set of Women's Tag Team Titles. There are quite a few great women working there, and the girls are thrown into tag team matches on the main roster quite a bit. They often have a few female-centric storylines on the go at once, but having a set of ladies' tag titles would give more girls an aim when they can't be in the immediate singles titles picture.

* William Regal announces a tournament to crown the inaugural champions.

* Bayley wants to enter with Charlotte, but Charlotte cuts a well-meaning but somewhat dismissive promo on Bayley, saying she called someone else that could actually help her win the tournament ("OOH!"). Charlotte announces her partner is Natalya, and they will be known as "Naturally Selected."

* Bayley bounces back by saying she made a call to someone too. They might have vastly different personalities, but this girl respects the potential Bayley has. Enter Paige -- who wants to be the first-ever NXT Women's Champion; and one-half of the first-ever NXT Women's Tag Team Champions. "Hugs & Beatings" is your official second team entered.

* Emma enters the tournament with a returning Summer Rae as her partner. Like Emma, Summer went to the main roster and kind of found herself floundering. The First Lady of NXT's persona is a lot like Emma's current one too. They go forth being known as "The Dark Summer" and as "The First Ladies of NXT."

* Carmella wants some bling, so Enzo & Cass find a partner for her. Introducing...ba-da-dada! Ba-da-dadadada! Blue Pants!

* William Regal wants to add some veterans to the tournament. He announces that Alicia Fox & Layla will be teaming together. Layla has a history with Regal, and whilst he was on commentary, Regal said that Alicia Fox was his favorite Diva in the ring. It'd make sense he'd reach out to both to pad out his new division and give the former Divas Champions a shot at re-invigorating their careers.

* KC Cassidy & Jessie McKay are in developmental at the moment. They might not be as "WWE-ready" as the company likes, but the two Aussies would make an obvious choice to team up and have already been working NXT house shows together. "Down Under on Top" are your sixth team.

* Dana Brooke doesn't play nice with others, but she is assigned a tag team partner for the tournament -- Cameron -- another girl with attitude issues.

* The last team I'm reaching for, but how about Eden Stiles & Devin Taylor? Two members of the announcing crew who have been training and step into active competition for the first time as partners? Perhaps they could even upset Brooke & Cameron, leading to further issues between the two?

Those are just suggestions. You could probably just have Charlotte & Bayley team together and win the whole thing after beating Emma & Summer in the finals. But once the tournament is done, you don't need to keep all the teams together. Realistically, you'd only really need a set of champions, immediate challengers, and maybe a team or two to be developed to eventually take the titles as other teams are trialed on house shows.

Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch stay out of the tournament, as they continue their rivalry and face each other in a Ladder Match on the same show that the first Women's Tag Team Champions are crowned. A big day for female wrestling in the WWE. Alexa Bliss is also focused on her singles career, making life difficult for Carmella (and Blue Pants) and hanging out with her boys.

This is good, but would THEY allow it. NXT has 4 story lines that involve divas. WWE, not so much.

Which could be great...

Possibly. I mean, the titles don't need to be spotlighted on the main shows. It'd just give more girls something to do whilst two feud over the Women's Title.

Devin Taylor is a gorgeous creature.

One day Devin will snap and show up wearing Dana's face as a mask

You can also have the tag team tourney and then have the victors face each other in a number one contenders match because why not? It would be cool to see two people become "close friends" as this progresses and then have to face each other. One turns heel obviously.

There's another serviceable idea. A tag team tourney with the finals being between partners actually makes sense in a world where there is only one title for them to fight for. Kind of gimmicky, but it also protects the girls because they don't lose in singles matches on the way. For example, Blue Pants can take a fall for Carmella, which can set Carmella off and start a feud between the two.

If she's still got Devin's body and is feeling herself up, I'd call that a win.

Devin Taylor is a goddess. Dana Brooke is a nobody.

I donut like Samoan Joe

Wow, when was the last time you saw girl on guy action on WWE programming?!?!?! Alexa Bliss with a sparkle splash on a dude?

Cool beans

Ronda Rousey on HHH, kess than 2 months ago.

Does that count? I'm along the lines of saying like a Diva putting their hands on a superstar.

Now if he got put in an arm submission...

Good show, and on a side note.....Alexa Bliss goddamn!

Then... last week at Takeover. When Alexa pushed Enzo off the top rope.

Sasha Banks could be out for a while depending on how her arm/shoulder injury ends up. Small spoilers about a match that happens next week or two but it is related to the Banks injury news.

I'm getting a crush on Alexa Bliss. I also like Blake & Murphy far more than I feel I should. I don't feel they are "great" yet, but there's something about both guys' efforts that make me think they could reach that pinnacle.

Dark Emma and Dark Bliss both grew in "hotness" with their heel turns....

Also, Samoa Joe has the least intimidating theme song ever. It starts off "ok" but then changes into this generic theme that nobody could possibly ever be scared of.... or even get behind from a "fan perspective".

Yeah...

I was hoping it was a one-night thing due to basically nobody actually knowing Joe was coming and them not having time to really put much together other than a really basic Tron.

Sure, tapings were 24 hours later, but that still should have been enough time to go "Oh, hey, Samoa Joe is coming out to a softer version of DJ Gabriel's theme from WWECW. We should fix that."

I'm sure when it comes to the next special, he'll get refreshed music like they tend to do, but that's a long way away. Hopefully by the next round of tapings.

It's really hard to take him serious as an intimidating badass across from Kevin Owens, who has a simple but very heavy theme, when it sounds like he's coming out to the background music for a retirement home infomercial.

Like it hits with the Godzilla knock-off and you're like "Ohhhhh here we go!" and then it changes to a rinky dink generic techno-lite theme and you're like "Uh.... ok?"

It's for when he signs a full time deal and they need to change his name to DJ JAZZY JOE.

:heart: DJ Gabriel and his entrance though, especially since it came with a super hot Alicia Fox.

Getting? Late the party Noid

I know. What the fuck is wrong with me?

With the rumors that WWE (or at least the part of it associated with NXT) are interested in signing AJ Styles coming out, I wonder if Christopher Daniels will get a look by them? The guy is a clear pro and has got a lot he can bring to the table when it comes to working with young guys. Plus, the idea of Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels for the NXT Title is giving me a bit of a chubby.

They could also bring in Frankie Kazarian and have them work the NXT tag scene too. Daniels & Kazarian working with Blake & Murphy, The Vaudevillains and Enzo & Cass has got some appeal to it. Kaz worked for the company before, but it's an entire different landscape now. A guy who can work and looks like Antonio Banderas actually has a place there now.

They announced Owens vs. Balor on the WWE Network from Japan on the 4th of July for the title on the show tonight. I guess that's how they're going to get the belt off of him, I'd guess. We'll see, though. That would be a uge moment if Devitt won the belt over there in front of what could arguably be considered his hometown crowd.

Big things happening in Japan

Vaudevillians finally back on NXT.

Blake favorited a tweet of mine when I said I liked his tag team finisher homage to Eddie Guerrero. Seems like NXT stars are quicker to favorite or re-tweet stuff fans say than regular WWE Superstars. Pretty cool.

Maybe a certain Club will be nearby to help out their old boss.

Sounds sweet, little too sweet

only just

The Young Bucks would obviously side with Owens and Doc Gallows and Machine Gun would back Balor out of friendship

WHOSE SIDE IS AJ ON

He should side with Balor too. Doesn't want Prince Devitt to have to come back if he fails in WWE and take back what's his.
