    Don't bother with this if you been watching the TV shows the last 3 weeks. No new material.

    Ah, nice to be watching Elizabeth on the Network before Becky takes centre stage. Scene-setting.

    The deal with Sylvester LeFort is WWE were going to call him up as a manager but he said he wanted to be a wrestler as well and kicked a huge fuss about it. They removed him completely from TV and Live Events. As he got major heat for being a moron as he is an AWFUL wrestler. Being a manager IS his ceiling. He was injured for a period too.

    Feel so sad for Sasha. Last night at the NXT tapings her fiance - who is an indie Wrestler named Mikaze wrestled the Vaudevillians. He got knocked out in the match and the taping was stopped. He was stretched out in a scary situation:

    Yes.
    They taped 4 weeks worth. Big storyline arc - Samoa Joe wrestles twice. Keeps his name and finish is still the Muscle Buster. In week 4, he wrestles Kevin Owens to a no contest, pull apart brawl kinda deal. Joe gets the better of the situation.

    There are bar one or two things they just happened:

    My very brief thoughts:
    JOE VS STEEN!

    Can't believe they just gave away Becky Lynch vs Jessie McKay. Not everyone watches SHIMMER or Women's Wrestling but that's an indie dream. I hope they give Jessie a promo or video package.

    Ryder & Rawley as a team is interesting.

    I think Blake & Murphy are fantastic. They've got it all - the look, they can talk, and now that they've added Alexa Bliss to the fold, i think it's just a matter of time before they are called up.

    They shouldn't have changed their entrance theme though - the Dubstep stuff suited them really well. Oh, and they should definitely keep the topknots going - instant heat seekers!

    Speaking of music they apparently changed Emma's music say it ain't so.

    Apparently Sasha hurt her arm at Unstoppable. No idea how bad.

    In fairness to her she did three **** type singles matches in a span of a week:

    Yeah I noticed she was grimacing and holding her arm after the match. The ref went to raise it and she stopped him so he raised her other arm. Didn't occur to me that she was actually hurt but she obviously was.

    Looking at the results again it looks like
    Tyler Breeze will be a babyface going forward
    . NXT just lost Itami, Zayn and Neville so I guess that's the main reasoning.

    I noticed that too,
    cant see him yet as a face but ill watch and wait.
    He reminds me of a young Chris Jericho in his looks and in some of his moveset.

    It's that time of the cycle again where next Wednesday can't come soon enough! I always avoid the spoilers on here so I'm really looking forward to seeing what happened at the tapings.

    He's amazing. He reminds me of Shawn Michaels back in the day, from the gimmick to the singing his own entrance. He's slightly shorter though

    If that isn't who you're talking about already, Tyler Breeze is very like a 1993 edition of Shawn.

    What's the feeling on who attacked Hideo? I've seen a lot of people online speculating it was Finn, but I can't see that as I reckon he's staying babyface ahead of his move to the main roster.

    I was thinking it could be Corbin.

    My first instinct was that it was going to turn out that Tyler did it. Now though I really can't figure out who.

    I just guessed it was sasha just doing a great job selling the work Becky did on her arm during the match.

    I've been a bit concerned that others have come and been called up before him. Any ideas there?

    Perhaps they are finally learning that if they don't have something for someone too do on Raw long term there's no point calling them up

    No. Piledrivers are exclusive to Undertaker and Kane now on special occasions only. No spiking of the head any more.

    Oh yeah on
    Tyler Breeze being a babyface
    I asked he was smiling a lot during his matches and he wasn't a jerk to the referees. Also what I was told was:
    He's normally the kind of guy who lives his gimmick, but yeah he also signed for fans when holding food take out. Might be a sure sign.
