I love Scott Dawson. Still not sure why he is with an arrogant Frenchman, but whatever.
Not sure why the NXT fans seem to love Enzo Amore, though. Pretty sure he was a heel last week. They are a really confusing bunch. |

Enzo Amore has a catchphrase- as simple as that.

Sammi Zayn hitting on Renee in front of the entire crowd, can't blame him.
Love Bo Dallas' delusional character. Reminds me of my old e-fed character somewhat. |

Was gonna make a comment about how intimidating and imposing Connor O'Brien looks these days, but then they have him lose. Stupid decision.

Adrian Neville just beat Connor O'Brien cleanly with Connor having a partner out there in his corner and Neville not having his. Why should I care now that The Ascension can beat them down when taking cheap shots? They clearly can't get the job done in the ring, even when they have an "advantage".

CJ Parker is trying really hard. Goon on him.
Tyler Breeze is great and people are really digging the gimmick. The phone being used as a weapon was sort of cheesy, but if they can give Breeze a trick phone that is actually a weapon, it could be my favorite wrestling prop of all time. Emma is amazing. The Divas Division's future is bright with her and Paige developing. I liked the development they are hinting at with Sasha Banks too -- who is absolutely gorgeous, by the way. I could see her becoming a great addition to the main Divas roster down the line. I hope Paige beats her and then Sasha snaps. And possibly becomes a bad-ass submission machine. Enzo Amore suddenly got really over as a babyface. Good for him. And Big Cass. I really like those two together. Rusev joining LeFort and Dawson is a good move. I hope they add Mason Ryan to their ranks. Does he really need to be a babyface right now? Sami Zayn is a really natural performer and I loved him hitting on Renee. Zayn is so...human. Delusion Bo is really great and he is moving into proper heel territory. I have a feeling we'll all be coming round to the guy soon enough. Not sure how I feel about Conor O'Brian beating Adrian Neville. Part of me thinks making your champion look strong was a good move, but O'Brian getting the win with the assist would have been fine. I'd have rather seen Neville vs. Victor as a match. |

I kind of want Breeze to get hurt down the line and do a Cody Rhodes and start wearing a mask he wears and occasionally uses as a weapon.

Mason Ryan match was shit, but Zayn/Swagger are tearing the house down so far in this main event. Not as good as the Antonio matches, so far, but it's fantastic. Loved that ring dive fakeout from Zayn.

Neville and Zayn should be called up as a tag team I think. That would be phenomenal.

Would I be wrong to say that Zayn/Swagger was a PPV quality match (albeit without PPV quality characters)?

I'd agree with that, would be a lovely mid-card PPV match if they actually bothered building up mid-card matches anymore.

Actually, fuck it. It could be higher than that, this match gets more phenomenal the more I get through it. Zain needs to be called up like yesterday.

Watching this on my phone at work and was really trying to get into it after that top rope powerbomb. Ending was a bit shite, but it sets up Zain/Dallas for the title, so it served it's purpose.

Alex Riley needs to get off commentary forever. He's just so awful especially in comparison to Regal. Everything has something to do with his time with The Miz.
"Corey Graves revealed to me earlier today that he like curries." "Well, back in my time with The Miz, there were a few times we went for curry. I asked him to massage my prostate, but he refused *sigh*... Wait, where are we again?" |

at the idea of Bayley's suplex being called the "hug-plex"

The crowd is starting to dig Bayley. This is good. The future is bright for the Divas Division. Tensions teased between Charlotte and Bayley -- a feud between the two could be somewhat interesting. I'd love it if Bayley eventually snapped and showed a bad side to her.
Also on the Diva front, Sasha Banks is hinting at a heel turn. She is absolutely gorgeous, by the way. She looks like she should be on a panel show with a bunch of women talking about their periods as the best looking one. A loss to Paige next week could push her right over the edge. A Paige & Emma vs. Summer Rae & Sasha Banks tag match could have an amazing story behind it. Paige is getting better at promos too. She and Emma are main roster material for sure. Corey/Cory Graves (they changed the spelling on his name graphic this week) and Rick Victor had a decent match that seemed to get better the longer it went. I have a feeling The Ascension will win the Tag Team Titles from them, so I have no problem with Graves and Neville being built up as superior singles wrestlers to the guys from the group. I'd love to see an NXT Money in the Bank Ladder Match featuring Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, Adrian Neville and some other guys. Leo Kruger and Xavier Woods would make natural fits, as would Alexander Rusev, who is pretty cool and could play the powerhouse in the match. Speaking of Rusev, I didn't mind his match against Mason Ryan. It wasn't great, but was far better than what I thought they would have. I love how odd LeFort's Legionnaires group is, and how they've been picking up wins lately. Scott Dawson is turning into a guilty pleasure of mine. He's turning into quite the lovable redneck. Looking forward to Kruger vs. Woods. I love how unpredictable Kruger is. Woods is a good talent that impresses me all the time, but he needs to be able to show his personality off more and develop some sort of trajectory. A feud with Kruger could help with that. Sami Zayn vs. Jack Swagger was amazing. I actually enjoyed it more than Cesaro vs. Zayn, if you believe that. Bo Dallas coming out was perfectly done. It builds to Dallas vs. Zayn (where I hope they put the title on Zayn), as it really felt annoying when he crashed the party. It also explained Zayn's loss, making him look good against a former World Heavyweight Champion. |

With Dusty Rhodes speaking out against Triple H firing Cody, I wouldn't mind it if Triple H fired Rhodes and put someone else in control of NXT. I'm not sure who, but my mind immediately went to William Regal. It could be a younger character though to give them a chance to work on their mic skills. They can put Zayn -- who is "not good for business" -- into a match to put the NXT Title back on Bo Dallas -- a chosen champion.

Nah, that would suck, leave Triple H out of NXT for the moment. I actually look forward to NXT more than RAW or SmackDown these days.

Watching this now.
- Fun divas match. I like Bayley. Charlotte has potential, but is very "gangly" looking. Alicia Fox is pretty "gangly" as well, though. When they were fighting, was like two gangle creatures going against one another. Only, I don't mind Alicia Fox too much. - I like Rick Victor's Starman Goggles. Victor and Graves definitely seem like the weaker part of their respective teams. Does Corey Graves have Kick-Ass tattooed on his shoulder? Got a bit bored by the match. Again it ends in a manner which leaves me thinking why should I take the Ascension as a serious threat to the titles. They aren't doing a good job building these guys up at all. - Summer Rae trying to turn chick with awful makeup to the dark side. Good, I guess. Makes this upcoming match next week something to watch out for, rather than just a random match. No idea how this Sasha chick will do. Doesn't seem to be as good an actor as Summer Rae, judging just by this segment. - Pretty good promo from Paige. Hate her little piercing below her lip, and am disturbed by her butt chin and her eyebrows. - I like Alexander Rusev's look, but think his gimmick needs to be "toned down" a bit. Weird cut in this match to a shot from a cam above the ring that looks like a different resolution than the other cams. Why? - Random shot of Leo Kruger standing over a hurt Xavier Woods. Did not understand a word Kruger said. Glad he is back on the show, though. Maybe the fans will actually treat him like a heel now that he is perhaps going to feud with Woods. - Really good main event. Loving Sammi Zayn in the ring, and I already knew that Swagger can get it done in the ring. Liked the ending. - Alex Riley talking about himself/putting himself over count: 12. Thankfully, there was not one instance during the main event. He did other bad things during the main event (ignoring big moves/replays to finish making a point), but he didn't talk about himself. |

Great Divas match and they told a nice story at the end even if it is a bit simple. Summer Rae got into her head. |

Not a fan of Kruger, but I do like Xavier. Hopefully this match picks up when he makes a comeback.
