    Hmmm, there's something different about Apollo. I can't quite place it. 🤔 Just did a Kofi.

    Thought they were going to have Pretty Deadly lose in what was basically a handicap match just after being champs. And would've been worse if it was against Andre Chase since he's probably lost more matches than he's won.

    I've only seen a clip of her doing it once but Tiffany Stratton's moonsault is picture perfect.

    Roxanne and Cora Jade have massive potential if they play the dynamic correctly. Bayley/Sasha vibes from them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So Jordan Devlin is "Coming soon" as JD McDonagh.

    And for those interested, Nikkita Lyons returns next week.

    Cameron Grimes seems to be acting like he's fed up going by the half hearted entrance and "to the moon". Though I guess he is a veteran. He must be one of the longest there now.

    I enjoy the Chase U bits. Thea seems to be enjoying it as well.

    Was thinking that would be the choice Roxanne would make. Though with the No. 1 Contenders match, does that mean she still has the title opportunity to use?

    Speaking of women's titles, I think a NA championship equivalent would work for them.

    I'm still confused about waller getting the clean pin on sikoa, weakens his character I felt



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Was a clean pin but after hitting an exposed turnbuckle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    NXT UK had a Fatal 4 Way for the vacant tag titles

    Was surprised they went with Jensen & Briggs, who are visiting. Probably do double duty now for a while. Unless they lose them again before the new set of tapings ends. Though will have them on 2.0 until the episode they lose them on airs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So after his release, they seemingly killed off Troy Donovan.

    I knew it would happen at some point but that seemed a rather quick heel turn.

    So Joe Gacy's group is known as Schism with the 2 hooded guys being revealed next week.

    Liked how Wade posed for Vinci's photo.

    Looked like a botch by Indi but they worked well enough to cover and finish. Scary that Indi is considered a NXT veteran at this point. Just mean that in how she's only 25.

    Oh and Cora is lucky she didn't try riding that skateboard or she could've been seriously injured.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Zack Gibson looks so different without the beard.

    That Battle Royal showed how stupid the rules of a Battle Royal can be. And the QR Code teased arrival was kinda underwhelming and oddly just had me noticing Io's absence more.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Funny this week, Roxanne talking about Cora disrespecting the tag titles yet how much respect for everyone else show by letting the belt stay in the trash for a whole week? And Alundra Blayze turns up to make a match with Roxanne having no problem handing over her title.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Didn't realise Brooks Jensen is Bull Buchanan's son.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,254 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    And I thought I was the only one who posted in this thread.

    I like Thea's enthusiasm, though Andre and Bodhi seems to suffer because of it.

    They are slowly building her up to take Mandys title IMO but she is shocking.. Even her vignettes/interviews are cringe



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    They'd be crazy to give her the title. Could see her being possibly given a midcard women's title at most, as she is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,944 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Nikitas 22, less than a year in and nearly all her matches have been on live tv, she's perfectly fine for where she is but I'm afraid she'll get horribly exposed in the tag tournament and be marked for life.

    An NXT tag title run with a veteran worker would be the making or breaking of her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah not sure what the thinking for having her in the tournament is. Might be something we could expect from Vince but I would assume HHH wouldn't do it. Unless they decide to hold that match on NXT.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Setting up for a new Worlds Collide with UK ones showing up and Vic even saying about "Worlds colliding".

    Though they went and spoiled the NXT UK title tournament since the champion showed up. So ruined it for the 5 people that watch.

    So going by that, Worlds Collide must be happening soon and couldn't wait for the tournament to end before starting the build.

    The ones who showed up were:

    • The 3 members of Gallus attacking Diamond Mine and confronting the NXT UK Tag champs Briggs & Jensen.
    • Blair Davenport, fka Bea Priestley, who tore up an InDex Forever drawing Indi had just received.
    • The NXT UK Champion confronting the NXT Champion.

    Probably have more show up next week. Maybe Meiko Satomura.

    We've been having multiple NXT ones on NXT UK recently but seemed more like just a visit than the invasion this feels like.

    NXT UK RIP, you were a thing that existed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,387 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    NXT 2.0 was in major need of new energy, each new wrestler having some silly back story vignettes to setup a new character had to go. Focus on the wrestling like the back and gold once did



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,944 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    The focus on the wrestling that saw it get hockeyed in the ratings by AEW, forcing it to move nights and failed to produce a single star?



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    NXT 3.0 Hunters second go.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,248 ✭✭✭ThePott


    We won't fully know NXT is back under HHH until Poppy shows up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,254 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    I hope Tiffany Stratton gets a mega push purely because the gimmick and her presentation will annoy people.

    #BimboNation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,387 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    It also beat AEW on some occasions. Wwe failed to market it properly as a 3rd brand so was always treated that way budget wise and production wise. Nxt made plenty of stars many of whom are on the main roster and some on the AEW roster coincidentally. But hey if you'd prefer to watch Wendy choo snoozing, be my guest



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    How long before Hunter brings back Velveteen Dream he already has Devlin on the show despite all the allegations against him and Hunter defended Dream right to the bitter end before he was let go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    A lot of setup for Worlds Collide on September 4th. Bate calling himself the first and last UK Champion. Talk of NXT Europe. Wonder if there's a reason they rushed things. Would there have been any big difference if they waited a few weeks? Maybe just wanted to be on the same weekend as Clash at the Castle.

    Charlie Dempsey showed up for Chase U. Meiko Satomura showed up.

    I assume the ones showing up will be staying on. Maybe not Meiko.

    So Worlds Collid matches so far are:

    • Mandy vs Meiko vs Blair in a triple threat unification match.
    • Bron vs Tyler in a title unification match

    I expect the tag title unification will be announced next week.

    I liked how Waller interrupted Vic and Wade.

    Wendy Choo changing gimmick or just preferred not to wear the onesie during her matches? Stratton still a bit green but I liked the match.

    And InDex!!!

    Legado del Fantasma showing up on Raw or Smackdown soon?

    Open challenge issued for the women's tag titles. Wonder who'll step up.

    Unrequired continuity keeping from the WWE, what is the world coming to?

    "Low Budget Miz" go Apollo



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    After watching Dynamite, I see Worlds Collide is same day as All Out.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,248 ✭✭✭ThePott


    4 hours earlier before people start going on about counter-booking.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Didn't realise that. Maybe didn't want to go up against All Out. Or maybe set the time to suit this time zone better since NXT UK ones are in there.

    9PM our time for anyone wondering.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,944 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Depending on what AEW pull out for the main event, world's collide just became the can't miss show this weekend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,387 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    The women's division in NXT really needs a shakeup, the likes of zoey stark, nikita lyons and alba fyre are one dimensional, bland and boring

    Hopefully there's a few names from NXT UK that can benefit


    I wonder if ricochet is heading back to NXT full time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Nice touch having the former champs showing up since 1 of the women's and 1 of the men's titles won't exist after the weekend.

    At least 1 of the UK reps has to win, right?

    Card so far is (according to wiki):

    • Bron Breakker (NXT Champion) vs. Tyler Bate (NXT UK Champion) 
    • Mandy Rose (NXT Women's Champion) vs. Meiko Satomura (NXT UK Women's Champion) vs. Blair Davenport
    • Kayden Carter and Katana Chance (NXT Women's Tag Team Champions) vs. Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
    • The Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed and Julius Creed) (NXT Tag Team Champions) vs. Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs (NXT UK Tag Team Champions) (with Fallon Henley) vs. Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) vs. Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) (with Joe Coffey) 
    • Carmelo Hayes (with Trick Williams) (North American Champion) vs. Ricochet

    Not sure about Nathan Frazer vs Axiom as it seemed to be implied it was taking place at Worlds Collide but didn't seem to be made official. Maybe on next week's episode. I like how they're playing with the fact that we know who Axiom is under the mask.

    While Doudrop and Nikki are Scottish so can represent the UK brand, not sure why they went with Ricochet.

    And while it's good to see them in NXT again, I do find it's kind of implying there is no one else to take the spots. Like there's no one there that would go for the NA title?

    Oh and is Kiana James the first sexy business woman to have a sexy secretary in WWE?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,254 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Nikkita Lyons is anything but one dimensional.

    Just watching this week's NXT UK and they introduced it as the final episode and also stated they were only a few days away from Worlds Collide. So they know that exists and therefore know the matches lined up but then have to pretend they don't know who wins the tournament.

    Seems right that Tyler Bate and Trent Seven are the ones to close the final episode.

    Also explains why Davenport is part of the women's title match. She won a No. 1 contender's match.

    And the closing video

    Enjoyed worlds Collide and it was on at a sound time for us here in Ireland.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Good show. Only result I wasn't really expecting was the men's tag title match.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,254 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    The greatest women's world champion in wrestling today. Acknowledge her...




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Hmm, I'm thinking since it's a dead brand now, that UK title should be removed.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,306 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    All this champ champ stuff is starting to grate.

    So much for the tease on Raw of Nikki and Doudrop breaking up and Nikki dropping the ASH character.

    Though NXT is teasing a new member for the Dyad, wearing the red hoodie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Meant to say at the weekend that the same week they started the video packages for Sol Ruca, they had her lose on Level Up to Valentina Feroz.

    Wonder who the red hoodie person is since think this is now the third week with them.

    I think Quincy Elliott is going to be someone who only gets that reaction from the NXT crowd as he's being presented now. Probably be another Emma if he went to the main roster.

    Looks like they're rebranding to NXT

    And of course, I'm sure haters of the Bloodline loved that ending. I know it was to give more gold to them, but strange choice considering a title is usually dropped or vacated when the champion is moved to the main roster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,944 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    HHH couldn't help himself could he, NXT was finally an actual developmental without him, so of course he had to put his stamp on it and go black and gold. Can't wait for bron breakker to have a 40 minute match where he looks really shocked someone kicked out of a move he's never won with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Gotta wonder what the point of the NA title change was.

    So is Shawn going to have an onscreen role going forward or was that just a once off?

    Good to see that return at the end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,944 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Someone told HHH NXT had gone longer than 6 weeks since the last ladder match.
