Haven't clicked the link, my guess is the next round, Paige will beat Alicia and Summer will beat Emma(who I assume will beat Aksana. Though they did have Bayley lose to Alicia so possible for Aksana to win). Then finally Paige will beat Summer. I'll just wait and see and avoid spoilers

You are better off not reading the spoilers IMO in general. Some very strange booking on the show for sure.

CastorTroy

That's the problem with them being filmed so far in advance, though I guess it makes it less predictable. Like I expected Big E to drop the title before due to being on the main roster, but with the taping schedule he could do NXT.

So they do 4 tapings at a time then take a month off for house shows/training?

Triple H looks he is about to kick and Pedigree the Winner of NXT Women's Championship and take the title for himself:

From last night's tapings and to air in a couple of week's time.

Might be no harm to highlight theres a spoiler Rov.

I think Sami's match was kinda ho hum alright, but his promo was very good afterwards, a quiet intensity.

I hate Bo, don't stop Bolevin' indeed...

Xavier has a great charisma about him, but doesn't really have much going for him in the ring. His morphin time roll flip thingy is cool and unique though.

CastorTroy

The whole Boliever thing really doesn't help him, since the other guy that uses a play on believer for his fans is Justin Bieber.

Wouldn't bother at all with the show this week lads.

Bar a cute interview where Rene took Emma's bubble gun there was nothing to this one:

CastorTroy

Hope she didn't use it. Emma warned her.

Next week: Emma versus Rene in a bubble match

bobby_says_hi

The Emma/Aksana match was quite good. Aksana continues to be one of the more underrated Divas, especially when it comes to character. Her matches are always interesting anyway

Loved Emma's answer to the question what is your strategy?

WIN

After all this time this is finally happening:

Oh please Jesus WWE resign Maxine:

Sami Callihan on his way to NXT:

CastorTroy

Hmmm. Not sure where they're going with this. Having Zane come in for the save makes Bo a face by association. So does that mean they want us to accept Bo as a face?

DM_7

At what point did you think they didn't want him to be seen as a face - I didn't watch last weeks show so maybe they did something then?

rovert

NXT was your usual good NXT show. Colourful characters and fun Wrestling. Alicia Fox had her working boots on and lolz at Mason Ryan walking around like that while Ricardo got suspended for some weight cutting supplement.

Spoiler on future tapings:

Yes until he gets the full on Die Rocky Die treatment

It seems like people don't like him. He comes across as smarmy and seems like everything he says is to purposefully rile people up. He calls his fans Bo-lievers which reminds me more of "Cole-miners" than something like "Cenation".
Also he beat Big E for the title which didn't exactly help matters

First day of training at the WWE Performance Center:





There's a Press Conference on Thursday.

If you listen closely enough you can hear Demott abusing students.

This week's NXT:

Commentary Team: Tom Phillips and GENERAL MANAGER OF MONDAY NIGHT RAW BRAD MADDOX

NXT Women's Championship Tournament Semi-Final: Summer Rae vs Emma

Sami Zayn vs Leo Kruger

Mason Ryan vs Enzo Amore and Colin Cassidy

The Wyatt Family vs Corey Graves, Adrian Neville and William Regal

Heard Sami vs Leo is very good.

CastorTroy

Wooo! Do the Emma.

Will watch this tonight.

Is it strange that I avoid spoilers for NXT more than I do for any of the main shows? Last spoiler I read was Bo winning the title. Have even managed to avoid who won the Women's title.

Every time I see Colin Cassidy's name, I immediately get him mixed up with Colin Delaney.

I think the one team that I always skip these days is those redneck type guys. Just not a fan for some reason.

There's a BIG taping tonight to celebrate the opening of the Performance Center so you will have to bury your head in the sand further. :P Jim Ross says they are kicking things up a notch. Various people and reporters have alluded to change in philosophy in developmental. Either you start realising your potential after a few months or you are gone. No more being left in developmental to wander around for 3 years.

On tonight's TV tapings you have from the main roster the Wyatts, Summer Rae, Langston, AJ Lee, Dolph Ziggler and a few more surprises promised.

How cool would Ziggler vs Ohno or Zayn would be?

rovert

Emma vs Summer Raw was brillant:

As long as Spoiler tags are used I should be okay.
That philosophy could be interesting. Basically gives a lot of peopl a chance.

2 unexpected pleasant surprises this week so far(On Zayn match now

Emma win and Flair appearance. And Maddox just called the crowd confused for chanting singing 'Ole Ole Ole' when Zayn is Canadian

smellmepower

Maddox is fair annoying this week on commentary,so disjointed and awkward.

Great show otherwise though,Dusty's stoned looking mate was brilliant.

CastorTroy

Bayley reminds me of Tina Majorino of Waterworld, Napoleon Dynamite and Veroinca Mars.

rovert

Some lad will do a definitive article about the WWE Performance Centre tomorrow but my favourite details so far are:

Out of the seven Wrestlings ring there's one more extra springy and cushiony ring for high fliers. Imagine the lads fighting on a bed!

The other is that there are cameras setup up so that Titan Towers is ALWAYS WATCHING big brother style. How much must student's backs be up at the prospect of that. Let's like get into Bill "More Water" DeMott.

No sign of

Kassius Ohno

Heading for the main roster or heading for the door? Or maybe just injured.

The only picture of Rebecca Knox I could find yesterday:


The kids have gone off to college, brothers.

Sheds tear

CastorTroy

Tempted to read the spoilers, but I won't.

the divas title match will air in 2 weeks time I assume?

bobby_says_hi

yes there is a breather match next week

with Ric Flair's daughter Charlotte making her debut

and the match is happening the week after that

hopefully Rebecca will be used as a heel because there's a small imbalance since they decided to make Bayley a face as well
