    Chase U! So they have a set of twins come out to be centre of the celebration. Random but guessing we'll see more of them.

    Seth and his title is coming for Bron

    Free Agents, Los Lotharios now in NXT



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


    Like I said, the treatment of Corbin on the main roster is not exactly helping the NXT guys. Dragunov losing after over 10 minutes and then he'll probably have a long match with Mello as well.

    So will Seth still turn up if he loses the open challenge on Raw?

    Seth and Melo good interaction

    Cray Cray Finn following Seth to Nxt, good build

    Bron is ready for Raw or SD



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


    Well that was an unexpected result.



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


    I'm starting to think Gibson and Drake "requesting their release" has been leveraged into a storyline. I'm salivating at the thoughts of the creed brothers in alpha academy though......

    NXT is starting to get back to that sweet spot it had before it became pwg, which is annoying because I'm trying to watch less wrestling.



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


    The attacker appeared to have a beard. Though doesn't really make sense to do it that way when they can't carry on the feud in NXT.

    While I liked the NXT Underground, the bit at the end with Gable looked really bad, especially with the last guy. Even though it's a simple enough entrance, I liked Thorpe's. Having the ones at ringside banging the ring in rhythm helped as well.

    Dirty Dom Dom could win a singles title next week

    That was unexpected.

    Liked how Tony told Dom he met someone he knew in the prison yard.



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


    That crowd reaction was magical, and you know Dom is going to be insufferable with a title now. I had been wanting him to have gold for a bit, but wasn't sure which title you could justify putting on him.


    The NA title is perfect.



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


    That was gas tbf...with Wes Lee v Ali lined up I wonder will it be a quick turnaround...would love to see Wes Lee get the win on Raw or maybe even Summerslam



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


    Dirty Dom is champion



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


    And the NA title unlike the majority of titles in WWE at the moment is somewhat unique and stands out.



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


    How did Solo have to give up when on SD, Dom is on Raw?

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


    If it wasn't stuck on Theory on Smackdown the US Title was made for someone like Dom, however the NA one is definitely a good choice.



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


    I'm working under the assumption the US title is going to L.A.Knight, YEAH!



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




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



    well, there goes my idea that they’re just super close platonic friends….

    Great American Bash this Sunday

    • Preshow - Dragon Lee, Nathan Frazer, Yulisa León, and Valentina Feroz vs. The Meta-Four (Oro Mensah, Noam Dar, Lash Legend, and Jakara Jackson) - Eight-person mixed tag team match
    • "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio (c) (with Rhea Ripley) vs. Wes Lee vs. Mustafa Ali - Triple threat match for the NXT North American Championship
    • Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Thea Hail (with Chase University (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson)) - Submission match for the NXT Women's Championship
    • Gallus (Wolfgang and Mark Coffey) (c) (with Joe Coffey) vs. The Family (Tony D'Angelo and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo) - Tag team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship
    • Gable Steveson vs. Baron Corbin - Singles match
    • Roxanne Perez vs. Blair Davenport - Weapons Wild match
    • Carmelo Hayes (c) (with Trick Williams) vs. Ilja Dragunov - Singles match for the NXT Championship

    Going by this week's show, it looks like the Creeds aren't done yet.

    Expected to see Tiffany training with Dempsey and Gulak.

    And seems "Yeah!" is the new "What?"



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


    Wasn't familiar with dragon lee prior to NXT other than knowing of him ...seems to me this move has been a waste thus far! He should at least be hovering around the NA Title



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


    Steveson getting booed and Corbin getting cheered.

    Dom getting a good reaction at the end.

    I'll admit when I first saw Dragunov in NXT UK, I thought he would be midcarder at most. Now he's having tough 30 minute main event matches. Not sure how he'd do on the main roster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,234 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Haven't really paid attention to NXT in yonks but saw clips of the PPV on Reddit. Steveson got "You aren't Angle" chants? Brutal. He's dead on arrival. Looks so bland.

    Judging just by her entrance, Thea Hail will be a big deal. Big Bliss vibes from her. Only 19 too. The Chase U stuff looks like good craic.

    Carmelo Hayes looks cool. Dragunov has the look of a good villain.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,220 ✭✭✭ThePott


    From the clips I've seen and the positive buzz I've heard lately, I'm wondering if I should start dipping into NXT again tbh.

    I ducked out when it became 2.0 but seems like it's found its feet a bit.



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




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


    Tony D and Stacks winning the titles was unexpected I'll admit, thought Gallus would hold onto them for another little while at least.

    Enjoyed the Weapons wild match, Davenport is still quite raw but the finish was very good.

    Ali is very good in the ring but he gets absolutely no reaction at all, the finish to the match was a bit overbooked too with a Riptide through a table, title belt hit and two finishers needed to get the job done.

    I thought Steveson was grand in the ring and bar the ankle lock attempt I didn't get an "Angle" feel off him at all but yeah he's dead in the water with those chants already.

    Title match was solid. Strange no Cora Jade or Breakker on the card though.



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


    Wes Lee turn in progress.

    Don't know if Thea will turn or she'll get over it or channel it. Maybe she and Duke will team up to get rid of Andre, or she goes back to Gulak and Dempsey.

    Not much point having Rey there as an equaliser next week when he won't touch Rhea.



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


    I thought the creeds lost the loser leaves NXT match...so how are they back on TV again?



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


    They did leave, they were clearly on a beach somewhere.

    I once again refer to this...pretty much a jobber at this point instead of the future of lucha



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


    Dom retains and someone else after Rhea, maybe Lyra could join Finn and Jordan in an Irish stable

    I do like Rhea's hair



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


    Will Becks return to try for the title she never won



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


    The Global Heritage Cup Invitational started this week:

    Group A

    • Tyler Bate - England
    • Butch - England
    • Charlie Dempsey - USA (I thought he was English)
    • Axiom - Spain

    Group B

    • Joe Coffey - Scotland
    • Duke Hudson - Australia
    • Nathan Frazer - Jersey
    • Akira Tozawa - Japan

    Next week will probably be one of the few times the ref is booed more than any of the competitors, since Dom is special guest referee for Ali vs Dragon Lee.



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


    Becky vs Tiffany for the title next week. Not sure what will happen there.

    RIP Von. We barely knew you



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


    Bron is a sadistic beast

    I feel Carmelo will drop the title soon to join Lashley's drip business



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,277 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Was that spot at the end a botch? Seen photos on Twitter of blood on the steps and Von being stretchered out bleeding, but who knows with that site.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,234 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Fairly sure it was fake blood to sell it. If it he botched it and actually connected he would've killed him.

    They must be very big into Stratton if they're having her do a feud with Becky on NXT.



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


    WWE posted the video of Von being stretchered out anyway. They cut to black at the right moment and just let commentary react as going off the air.

    Must be one of the darker spots they've done recently within the company at least.

    As for Becky and Tiffany, I don't think Tiffany is at the point where she should be beating Becky clean. But I don't see Becky taking the title. Though at the same time she hasn't held the title and it might be something they're looking to remedy.

    Every now and again they do bits to remind us of the tag division they have. I like that the Creeds are back. Noticed a lack of Schism in that brawl.

    Wonder if they're going to do something with Myles Borne or is he just going to be a plot device. Giving him a push will be good for WWE publicity. Not that that should be the only reason.

    Thea Hall turning more to the dark side.

    Lyra getting involved with her and Jacy Jayne and then Roxanne and Kiana.

    Won't mention the main event just to avoid spoiling for anyone who wants to watch.

    Don't think Becky and Aoife would've crossed paths in the ring looking at Aoife's age and when Becky joined WWE. Though I'm sure they've met outside of matches.

    Seems Grizzled Young Veterans are done with Schism and maybe NXT?

    With the Women's Breakout Tournament, maybe we'll actually see some of these women we always see in the lockerroom and all when others are talking.



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


    Becks now a grand slam champion

    Tiffany is still very sloppy in ring imho especially moves from the top ring rope

    Bron now against Corbin, Bron could perhaps lay off the tanning a bit but he is good as a heel

    Are they still teasing Melo and Trick break up



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


    Tiff isn't ready but does seem quick for the title to be taken off her, especially by a main roster member, who isn't a free agent like Ali and Corbin. Considering she won it after Indi vacated it to move to the main roster.



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


    I think the title has been in limbo since Mandy was fired with the holders and injuries etc.,

    I wonder who will take from Becky, Tiffany probably has a rematch, Dana Brooke is now fully on NXT, Jacy or Gigi?

    There was rumblings of Blair or Cora joining TJD so perhaps them beating Becks being on both Raw and NXT like Dom



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


    I think she will lose it through Interference from someone she feuds with on the main roster! I think Lyra will be next to win it



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


    Wrong thread.

    WWE held an NXT live event on Friday night from Fort Pierce, FL, where Gable Steveson was back in action as he worked the main event, teaming with the Creed Brothers to beat Charlie Dempsey, Damon Kemp & Myles Borne



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


    I know it was a live event but hope they don't think he's good enough for the main event when he returns to tv. Not every olympian is a Kurt Angle or Chad Gable.



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


    Dragon Lee needs to be renamed Dragon Loss...really don't understand what they are doing with him



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


    Dom showing the war wounds.

    Is he the busiest superstar? Like he's doing Raw, NXT, sometimes Smackdown and then No Mercy this week.

    Is there a more dangerous place to be than the NXT parking lot?

    Wee tease for someone coming.



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


    Everyone is guessing its Brian pillman jr in that video.
