Didn't the BFFs win their match? Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see a breakup.

Was from a segment afterwards where Charlotte said she's done being Sasha's tag partner and the group itself.

I thought Xavier Woods was an odd choice as the first guy to have Bull Dempsey steam-roll. I'm not sold on him, but Gertner is, and Gertner is usually right. I want the persona to succeed, but he just looks like such a baby-faced guy. It feels like the guy should have a massive chip on his shoulder. He seems like the sort of personality that would have done really well in ECW or on the Heyman SmackDown era.

Becky Lynch is adorable. I love how the women are treated down in NXT. I'm thinking Summer Rae beats Bayley (haven't read the spoilers) and Sasha appears in her corner against Charlotte. Meanwhile, Banks can get wins against Alexa Bliss and Bayley to build her up as a challenger.

NXT is getting more and more great tag teams, but I still want Epico & Primo as NXT Tag Champs, dammit! I know I'm the only one. Big Cass & Enzo will be your next champs, I'm betting.

Speaking of NXT Renee Young is moving on up. She's now full time announcer for Superstars. Let's hope she can move up to Smackdown or Raw.

I really want to see Christian join an announce team. I've always thought he'd make a great commentator, although not all good talkers do. His work on panel shows has been, in my opinion, exemplary. He knows what to focus on when putting guys over. Plus, he's quick-witted enough to jabber back and forth and not look lost. He's funny enough to make nice quips. And he's got the ability to play both a face and heel character well. I think he'd have a good dynamic with Michael Cole and JBL. He'd bicker with JBL just enough to give different perspectives, but not enough for it to become distracting from the show. Trial it out on SmackDown.

Nooooo this thread can't be on the second page!
Feel like it's been said ad nauseum on here but they seriously need to either call the Ascension up or just get rid of them at this point. I believe they're both in their mid-30s or so and have been in development for several years. Actually I think this is Konnor's second run with the company so he's probably somewhere around 7-8 years in development. I really don't think there's anything left for them to do in NXT. They need to sink or swim on the main roster. |

I think they put the Ascension in a holding pattern until Enzo was healthy

I kinda guessed that would happen. I don't really care for either of them so the worst now is I get to ignore them both together. |

So Bull is now a face?
Seemed odd how they suddenly broke up a few tag teams even though a big tag team tournament is about to start. |

About time. If TNA is truly done, then I am going to pretend NXT is its own little wrestling promotion.

So Becky Lynch changed her "I'm really, really Irish and can't stop jigging around" to "I'm a crazy rock chick".

They probably took the over-the-top Irish gimmick away from her so they can give it to Devitt.

Wait, who's that between Bayley and Rosa Mendes?
Also damn@Alexa Bliss. I didn't think she was that petite. |

Interesting to see how Rosa Mendes does down in NXT. Still want to see her bring back Epico & Primo dammit!
Bayley is so freakin' adorable and Becky Lynch is so freakin' over for a girl who hasn't done much on television. She's got a great story to tell too. Love the NXT girls. |

Bull Dempsey is starting to grow on me, and weirdly enough, I sort of like the pairing with Mojo Rawley. They both seem like "immature" gimmicks to me, and two guys that are a little out of their depth playing them. I think that the contrast they are going for might sharpen them as performers nicely and allow you to care and empathise with them a bit more.

That being said, I could see them lose in the semi-finals of the tournament and then Bull just maims Mojo and the two build to a match for the next live special.

My predictions for the next live special:
NXT Championship Adrian Neville (c) vs. Tyler Breeze NXT Women's Championship Charlotte (c) vs. Bayley NXT Tag Team Championship The Ascension (c) vs. Sin Cara & Kalisto Tyson Kidd vs. Sami Zayn Mojo Rawley vs. Bull Dempsey |
