    They've already scheduled their next event for April 1st. Stand & Deliver. So the same day as WM Night 1. Another long weekend of wrestling that weekend.

    Was another good show. A couple of title changes.

    Will Henley complain about how they won?

    I wasn't sure if New Day would lose but I assumed they were just there to bring more eyes before going back to the main roster only. But we'll see how Gallus do.

    Surprised they showed Dijak's finger. Apparently not broken, so I guess dislocated.

    Looked a pretty good attendance. Looked it up and while not a sell out, it was over 5000. They got out of Full Sail anyway.

    Grayson needs to come out dressed as HBK to HBK's theme



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Expected it this week but I'll spoiler it anyway

    Gigi got Jannetty'd. Then tried to escape through the door in an act of cowardice.

    Another NXT UK return next week.

    I like how they announced the NA title open challenge with multiple people talking about challenging instead of just one guy saying he'll take him on and that being official.

    Broken Pretty Deadly were fun.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Wonder where Cameron Grimes is. I'd say they have nothing for him really and has been there long enough to move to the main roster. Just don't think anything for him there either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I don't follow NJPW Strong, but Karl Fredericks made his debut on NXT Level Up this week as Eddy Thorpe.

    Ava Raine and the Schism doesn't work..the group had potential before they brought her in and looked to be adding more members ..same schtick every appearance



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So are there plants in the fans or just standard annoying people? With the chants for Waller during Tyler's promo and the boos for Bron.

    Was thinking it didn't seem right, especially since they're putting a lot of emphasis on them even though they're not that loud. Think last week someone was actually trying "Bron Breakker sucks" to the tune of "John Cena sucks".

    They addressed something this week that I've pointed out in shows before. People actually fighting each other to get out for an open challenge. Usually when a champion issues an open challenge they seem to be standing there for a while and it seems only 1 person finally decides they want a title shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I hope Roxanne is OK



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,066 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    dont watch must NXT 2.0 but hopefully it was only an overdramtic sell of the injury as the clip did look pretty serious with Booker and HBK coming out etc. Best wishes to Roxanne eitherway

    Gargano back in NXT I see

    Nah think was a work.

    Wee things like how Shawn put on the mask as if the EMT forgot to do it.

    But as usual, the fact people are unsure shows they did a good job.

    Saw a suggestion that it ties into last week and this week when she spoke about the amount of training she's been doing for this match and she collapsed from exhaustion.

    Lyra issued a challenge to the winner anyway.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,303 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    100% a work inspired by the time Shawn "lost his smile".

    Gargano back to resolve his unfinished business with Waller is also good booking. Could see Waller moving up after Mania I'd imagine so would nicely bookend both of their times in NXT.

    I'd also like to think they're finally close to sending Bron up with Hayes (hopefully) taking the main strap at least for a little while.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    They even had Waller ask what the point of NXT was when the only guys likely to move up would be Bron and Carmelo.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Not sure where they're going with the Roxanne thing. Maybe she'll make a shocking return at Stand & Deliver.

    Stand & Deliver card

    • Bron Breakker (c) vs. Carmelo Hayes for NXT title
    • Johnny Gargano vs. Grayson Waller in an unsanctioned match
    • Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Zoey Stark vs. Gigi Dolin vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Indi Hartwell in ladder match for NXT Women's title
    • Fallon Henley and Kiana James (c) vs. Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn for women's tag titles
    • Wes Lee (c) vs. Dragon Lee vs. JD McDonagh vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. Axiom for North American title
    • Gallus (c) vs. The Creed Brothers vs. The D'Angelo Family for tag titles
    • Chase U and Tyler Bate vs. Schism for control of Chase University

    This will be Ava's in ring debut.

    So the Roxanne story is she's battling anxiety.

    Overall the card looks good.

    Start time is 6pm Irish time. I assume a preshow at 5 or 5:30.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,014 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Some great matches there, really don't see the appeal in Schism myself.

    North American match and Womens Ladder match will be epic!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'd say for 1 or 2 of them, this could be their last match on NXT.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    That Roxanne thing is gonna be really weird if she's on the roster next week. That ladder match has me terrified that someone is getting hurt.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Feels that locks in Brons call up then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    The Chase U/Schism match was on the preshow for anyone who wants to watch it. Was Ava Raine's in ring debut. She didn;t do much and clearly has a way to go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Random observation: Both men's and women's tag team champions are Scottish.

    So we had a couple of returns. I guess one could be classed as a redebut since it's been so long.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Looks like the two UK guys from schism have been granted their releases.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    2 roots...

    Seems to be mixed reports of them requesting their releases but still appearing at tapings. Maybe they're gonna stick around to get written out instead of just disappearing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    That's the end of the Schism then

    The Bron heel turn was pointless,they should have just called him instead of prolonging the feud

    Noam Dar was a strange return and good to see Cora Jade back in the mix



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I think the Bron heel turn was coming with the booing lately. Probably wanted to give him the heel run to see how he gets on.

    Like Cora's new look.

    As for Schism, if they are writing the 2 guys out, they can have them be attacked by replacements.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    I had a nose off the roster to see who could fit in with the Schism

    ...only to pmsl when I spot that Scrypts is still listed as an active member



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭hynesie08




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Heel Bron looking very very tanned

    Double murder on this week's episode. I guess to bring them up to the main roster since it seems they haven't been released. Strange way to do it.

    Other call ups probably include Grayson Waller.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Pretty deadly nailed on for a call up I'd say, I don't think Tiffany Stratton is there yet but she's the most visually ready for the main roster. Don't know where they're going with chase U.


    Both women's matches were atrocious.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Seems Tiffany said herself in an interview recently that's she's not ready for a call up and still had areas she wants to improve. So hopefully for her sake, they let her work more before calling her up.

    Yeah the title match unfortunately suffered due to Indi's injury. At first I thought it was just for dramatic effect, but watching the replay, the ankle clearly bent badly.

    Looks like they're giving up on the Scypts character already, going by the unmasking of his voice. Unless they just decide to team him with Axiom who everyone knows is A-kid so both are then known but still wear masks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Unfortunately Scrypts just needs to be future endeavoured...they buried him with the shite ring attire after giving him a somewhat decent build up for a character

    Unfortunately Reggie is simply a gymnast...he can't have decent matches it's just a slow spot fest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Indi relinquishes her title but tag titles not

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    But nice sendoff for Indi. The way Cora and Tiffany pulled the title reminded me of one of the main roster men's titles but can't remember who it was now. Just remember it was really bad the way they acted.

    I guess that's the end of the Scrypts character.

    Tyler eyeing the NA Championship.

    That's the one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So who will do it best? Cody competing with an injured arm at NoC or Lyra competing with an injured leg at Battleground. I'm assuming they'll put the title on Tiffany.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,384 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I’m not that surprised that Lyra is in the final but didn’t expect Tiffany to beat Roxanne.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,303 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Fairly solid NXT last night tbf and a decent use of certain free agents.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah. Not sure who should challenge Tiffany. Can go the route of either someone who they want to give a small push to or just someone people won't mind losing.

    I think they should go with someone different than Roxanne and most of the other women from the tournament. The Battle Royal allows that without hurting any of those women. If she wasn't feuding with Ava, I wouldn't mind Ivy getting the shot. She's grown on me over the past few months when she was allowed to show a bit of personality. Don't think they'll go with Blair yet.

    Don't see either of the surprise appearances winning the NA or NXT titles.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,363 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Maybe after the Battle Royal is done and the women's title contender decided, maybe they can then have a tournament for the tag titles.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,871 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Bron challenges Seth to come to Nxt and face him for the world title, first Nxt champ facing the "most dominant"

    Is Dana another free agent as was sure she was drafted to Raw
