this is going to be a quick tag match

Missed the rest of the show, did anything really interesting happen?


Think so since he that guy did tease at showing up on NXT soon during a recent interview.

it was a good womans tag match

Preview for tonight's show:

R.I.P. Austin Theory

That Karrion Kross vs. Austin Theory opener would have been off or more entertaining if it was just a pure vicious squash by Kross since its started to get dull once it turned into a regular match mid-way.

Theory did learn a valuable life lesson of why its not good for your health to be ogling Scarlett while at work.

Looks like Leon Ruff needs a visit to Dr. Shelby to sort out his anger issues.

:lol: at the ref during this Breezango vs. MSK match.

Better segway to a commercial break than what WWE does the majority of the time for mid-match commercial breaks.

Alexander Wolfe being abruptly pulled from tonight's show due to "stomach pains" issues is interesting.

Any other time or company and it wouldn't be nothing to think about but considering the amount of times NXT has been hit with COVID outbreaks, wonder if he recently contracted the virus.

Wait ... shouldn't the ref be calling off this Ruff vs. Dunne match considering Regal said earlier he wasn't cleared to compete?

Even for an open challenge match, Ruff still wouldn't be eligible to answer the call.

Going to assume whoever is in charge of pressing the fake crowd buttons pushed the wrong one since those boos were a bit weird.

Then again might be a really low tone "oooo" chant that's getting played since it happened a few times afterwards. Whatever it is, its been weird sound byte to use since its not being done for cheating spots.

NXT Women's title was a pretty good hard hitting match even if it dragged a bit at times.

Holy crap, that Hit Row promo segment was awful

Not a good start to Isiah "Swerve" Scott's new stable.

:lol: at Ted Dibiase trolling Cameron Grimes again.

WTF $20 million for that house is way too crazy. Its a fine looking fancy house but not one of those mega mansion types that go for those large sums of money.

No wonder Ted's family embezzled money from the state of Mississippi if he's making crazy purchases.

Would have been funny had Bobby Fish acted like he had no clue Undisputed Era disbanded for his surprise return tonight.

Ending to the NXT Cruiser title match was a bit rough but the match itself was mostly very good.

Only real complaint is that match would have been much better off as just a regular match though since the first half was mostly nothing special and NXT sort of pulled a WWE main roster shows with the booking of the first two falls. Everything after the commercial break was very good and when the match really hit the next level.

This week's show was very entertaining overall and way better than the boring show RAW had yesterday.

What does MSK stand for?

Since NXT is going with comic book style match and hype video graphics for tonight's North American title match, wonder which superhero Garagno is going to cosplay as tonight.

Was going to say The Punisher but think he's already done that before.

:eek: Toni Storm finally won a match in 2021.

Storm vs. Zoey Stark was pretty good and that new finisher by Storm looked cool.

:lol: at Storm's win being quickly overshadowed by Franky Monet.

Poor Dexter Lumis, got dumped by Indi while she was getting a face massage thingy with Candice.

This Balor vs. Kross Prime Target hype video is great.

That was a really weird fake "DiBiaise" chant.

Some of these fake audio chants and crowd sound clips WWE plays for these ThunderDome-based shows have been awful because it either just sounds bad or is like a 1-2 second clip repeated non-stop for too long.

Ted DiBiase's antics was the best part of a pretty dull match between Cameron Grimes and Jake Atlas.

Not sure what the end goal is for this Grimes & DiBiase rich man feud since its just been DiBiase making fun of Grimes each week. They already established that Grimes is a moron and has way less money than DiBiase so he can't really outsmart DiBiase nor out spend him to get the upper hand.

Killian Dane completely squashing Alexnader Wolfe is something I didn't expect to happen with their match tonight.

Guess Wolfe is out of Imperium now based on that post-match beating by his pals.

Legado Del Fantasma vs. Ciampa &amp; Thatcher was a very good hard hitting match despite the shenanigans at the end by the Grizzled Young Vets.

Don't understand why WWE has such a huge phobia when it comes to booking tv matches to not end via shenanigans or in a satisfying manner. AEW and other promotions have this type of problem as well but WWE goes way overboard with the frequency of it for their weekly shows.

Nice of Indi Hartwell to undump Dexter Lumis.

The Way are still the lamest thing about NXT in recent times though.

This Hit Row stable really needs someone similar to Max Caster to make it work.

Like they feel like what WWE thinks a hip hop group is and not what they actually are since the promo work is the weakest part about them so far. No rhythm or freestyle feel to whenever they sprout out stuff.

Like with Max Caster, he makes his rap and lyrical stuff feel natural while Hit Row doesn't capture that same feeling yet whenever they talk or try to "throw down."

Gargano is either repping the X-Men or the Fantastic Four for his comics inspired gear tonight.

NXT is very lucky USA Network gives them an overrun since 9 minutes left in the show and the main event cage match only just started.

Gargano might have busted out the slowest ever Poison Rana to Reed.

:y: Bronson Reed won.

North American title cage match was very good despite it going overboard with the cage shenanigans by Austin Theory.

This week's show was very enjoyable overall. Did have a couple of dull stretches here and there but was still a fun show in general. Probably going to get wrecked in the ratings tomorrow though since it went up against 2 NBA playoff games.

killian dain's music is really awful

Whoever decided that Toni Storm should wear pants needs to be fired.

Is this hinting at Taya vs. Toni in the future? That would be pretty cool.

EL GATO NO TIENE ZAPATOS

This Grimes / DiBiase feud needs Tatanka, X-Pac and Nikolai Volkoff as the Corporation.

Have really come to appreciate Bronson Reed. Thought Takeover was his time. Probably means he wins tonight.

I don't know if this Hit Row thing will be any good, but I know that Swerve can have a good match with anyone, so anything that gets him a push with direction is fine with me.

According to a recent episode of the Mat Men podcast show, the current Cameron Grimes vs. Ted DiBiase feud is meant to result in the revival of the Million Dollar Championship for NXT. Its not currently known if the belt will be a long term thing for NXT or just for the current Grimes rich guy storyline and feud with DiBiase.

That would give NXT 7 belts for their brand with 6 being exclusive. For some reference, that would be more than what RAW and SD currently have for belts. RAW has 6 belts with 5 being exclusive and SD has 5 with 4 being exclusive. The 24/7 title is mainly a RAW brand belt while both brands only really share the Women's Tag title belts.

Heel move of the century.
