I still haven't had a chance to watch the Regal vs. Cesaro match, but it sounds BRILLIANT! Regal earned his way to being one of my favorites through his humble charisma and the way he speaks with conviction. If Goldust can still get opportunities to tear it up on the big stage, I hope that we haven't seen the last of William Regal. Cesaro is one of my favorite wrestlers in the world at the moment. He does things that just look so amazing and real.

Paige's promo made me mark out a little bit.

Bo Dallas just called himself a "Champion of life." He's getting better all the time.

Jim Ross and Byron Saxton seem like they would make a good commentary team for the upcoming William Regal vs. Cesaro match.

Still want Regal to get a big push on the main roster. Would love it even more if he took Barrett/McIntyre/Adrian Neville/Mason Ryan/all of them under his wing.

Byron Saxton is doing great at the start on commentary. Great that Howard Finkel does ring announcing for NXT occasionally.

There are ways to make Regal such an amazing babyface. Imagine if The Authority targeted him due to his connections with Daniel Bryan, for example.

They could release a DVD set on William Regal, featuring a documentary on his life and just what makes him so important and brilliant. They could talk about bonus footage and include the Regal vs. Ambrose feud. Then a heel can come out and talk about how Regal is a relic and no longer important -- boom, feud.

I would love for WWE to do the Terry Funk in ECW angle with the veteran going for the gold one last time with Regal.

Interesting story they are trying to tell with this brilliant match. I would like to see it turn into Regal telling Cesaro that he shouldn't have hesitated and that he's not a true villain...but he can help him become one.

Oh wait, they did the handshake. Just an awesome match where Cesaro shows that he's got some humanity.

Triple H is heavily involved in NXT, isn't he? I bet Triple H loves Cesaro. In NXT, Cesaro is booked to be the most beastliest beast that ever beasted.

I wonder if they booked Cesaro this way in NXT to see how he would be as a top guy

One of the more brilliant pieces from the match itself: You can take the most obvious aspect from Cesaro's game, his power, and he's still formidable due to his agility and vicious streak.

I fucking hope so. The things that stood in Cesaro's way earlier is that he never connected and he can't really talk as a heel. He's now getting over and he's got someone to talk for him.

He has had gimmick changes already but they progressed well in storyline. This latest rumor talks about a complete re-branding including a new name. Let's hope that isn't final though!

His original character in the trunks that was just proud to be from South Africa was fairly bland but alright. I loved how Kruger lost in the NXT Title tournament and the next time we saw him he was all insane and such.

God, I adore Emma. Loved her work with Natalya. The show in general was pretty good. I loved the booking of Zayn vs. Kruger.

This is a completely moot point, but if the brand split were still around and their was a Women's Champion on one show and a Divas Champion on the other, I could see Paige and Emma existing as the top face Divas on respective brands. A WrestleMania match between the two down the line could be turned into a fairly big thing.

The Aiden English/Colin Cassady segment was really good. Cassady reminds me a bit of Edge.

Also, "SAWFT!" could really get over on the big stage, I think.

Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards have apparently flunked their tryout and will not be coming back.

I would have liked to have seen them get a run with the company, especially since NXT could use some tag teams.
