I guess there is nothing on the internet though? Oh well, I will find it some other way

Expected news for the Observer:

Those from NXT slated for call-ups the quickest right now are Emma, Paige, Alexander Rusev and Lana (as a team, which is a good move).

Emma debuting in the crowd on Raw is probably a good idea as I would save vignettes for Paige.

So is Mojo the new Warrior?

Wonder who they'll have on the first live episode. They'll want to go with someone reliable so maybe Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Paige and will have to have Bo, assuming he's champ at the time.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph that Kofi Kingston vs Alexander Rusev was some sack of shyte.

Very skippable show.

It really was! Kofi as the "veteran" is just not believable at all, he is only hanging on for his royal rumble spot IMO!

Yeah even the nxt crowd who are usually into all matches started entertaining themselves sing the Mexican wave and all

That'll be "Mrs Sheamus" whenever Fandango disappears!

Becky vs Bailey from Friday. Very basic match based around working the arm but you have to watch Becky's entrance. She is essentially doing an Irish Dancing version of Summer Rae's main roster character:

This looks the kind of gimmick that would have me peeking out through my fingers. I was really hoping they wouldn't saddle her with some Oirish shtick. Are they really so bereft of ideas in that company that they can't give an Irish person a role that doesn't involve the usual old stereotypes?

I get ya and I believe this was discussed before here but fairly obviously:

• Stereotypes allow you to connect to an audience easier as they are so broadly drawn
• The Yanks love the Irish
• In terms of a main roster call up. The McMahons love their Irish roots and appealing is rather smart.

Becky is a very Irish Irish person so to me there's no use in fighting it in my opinion. A heel Riverdancer is subversive enough for me. It is the a the spoon full of sugar to make the Paddywhackery medicine go down.

The former Leo Kruger's Adam Rose debut is GENUINELY worth going unspoiled for. But if you are curious here you go:

http://imgur.com/a/VIa4b#ctVzqGh

Explanation:

There was a vignette played a match or two prior to the Adam Rose debut that had a cameraman in a nightclub at a huge party full of WWE developmental talent that hadn't yet had their in-ring debuts on NXT TV (Kalisto, Solomon Crowe, Bull Dempsey, Alexa Bliss, Kendall Skye, etc.). It turned out the party was for Adam Rose himself, as he is now some kind of waify, party going, bachelor figure.
The lights went out and the party came out and down the stage before Rose made his way out from the rabble and bopped his way down to the ring. Before making his way inside, the party lifted him to their shoulders and he crowdsurfed into the ring.

After winning his match, the party returned and kept going.

Featuring a cameo appearence from Becky herself too.

A NXT PPV called 'Arrival' has been announced for the 27th of February.

Card is:
Bo Dallas v Adrian Neville in a ladder match for the NXT Championship
Paige V Emma for the NXT Womens Championship
Sami Zayn v Antonio Cesaro in a 2 out of 3 falls match

Presume this is a test run for the streaming abilities of PPVs on the WWE network.

Wouldn't that put them a week behind then?

So Sami Zayn will be in a 2 out of 3 falls match with the WWE World Heavyweight champion?

The Cesaro-Zayn sit down on NXT this week is awesome stuff.

Cesaro's verbal delivery and facial acting has come on leaps and bounds compared to where it was.

Neville and Dallas stepped their game too.
