    No, piledrivers are banned in WWE. Risk outweighs benefit in terms of amount of neck breaks historically.

    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.

    Others rewatched the match and seemingly here Sasha did something weird with her arm:

    Considering that was the opening sequence of moves she showed some grapefruits if she did hurt it there and then let Becky work over it and still had a classic match with a bad arm! Sami got a tonne of plaudits for his match with Cena considering he messed his arm early, hope Sasha gets the same respect if thats where the damage was done

    I could be totally wrong and this was a superior sell job.

    But she didn't do the customary post match promo on Youtube and
    didn't appear on the TV tapings.

    Sasha is very tough and is legendary for not breaking character when cameras are rolling.

    Buddy Alex Murphy Factor.

    At the show last night Becky still doing the Steam Punk thing wrestled Lina Farene the monstrous rook. Balor tagged with Solomon Crowe against Tyler Breeze and Tye Dillinger in the main event.

    What have they done? Improved her a million percent? Guaranteed that she will be called up along with them to the main roster! Blake / Murphy are the 2nd best tag team in the E at the minute. Watch this space

    Apparently this Saturday is Sarah Stock's final match in Mexico.

    Not only she will be an NXT trainer but I am hearing she will be Wrestling in some capacity too. The fact that NXT used Stock as one of Tyler Breeze's models was interesting. I know she has had some work done on her face in the interim but it is kind of poetic in its own way as Johnny Ace's regime infamously turned her down as she wasn't a "10". Goes to show how much things have changed the last few years.

    Before anyone asks: Sarah Stock (grey), Nhooph "Jasmine" Areebi (purple), Dasha Kuret (Blue) and Gionna Daddio (in whatever that colour is).

    Along with Finn Balor WWE filmed a Dana Brooke WWE Network special or a similar level of production. Cameras were following her and she did a biographical sitdown interview:

    Good read:

    https://twitter.com/WWENXT/status/603583967724449792

    It is a WWE.com piece so it is pandering to smarks. Actual change is real change on the main roster.

    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
    I'd love to see him up there as a babyface. He could give J & J Security a makeover.

    I think if that were to happen he could end up in the same condition as The Undertaker in 2014.

    Owens is unlikely to suffer a concussion from falling on his ass.

    I'm sure you were joking, but I did mean it could be potentially dangerous for Regal.

    What's the story with Zahra? Has she done (m)any live events? Most infamous for the Seth Rollins controversy obviously but I haven't heard much about her otherwise.

    In terms of the females recruited from non-Wrestling backgrounds her and Gionna Daddio are the next in line to have an in ring debut. However Zahra broke her collarbone a few weeks ago so she is out for another two months. The Rollins thing was really unfortunate as you hear way more positive things about her than negative both in terms of her potential as a wrestler and personally.

    Just watched this weeks episode. Felt like it flew by. Becky and Balor both got some attention this week which is always welcome. Emma looked hot as hell too. Charlotte looked a bit awkward, not for the first time. Team BAMF has potential. Elias Simpson has a decent look and would expect to see more of him. Looks like the amateur wrestling stable may happen with Jordon, Gable and another. And Kevin Owens is the best heel in the business
