Strong/Breeze, SWERVE, and some other good stuff. Let's go!

Mia Yim getting a mad push.

KUSHIDAAAAAAAA

Swerve :'(

Mia Yim getting a mad push.



I love that her entire gimmick is that she's a Wu Mami

[DaveWadding]

They surprised me by having 5 matches. Lots of stuff moving along.

Aliyah looks very different.

[Fignuts]

Io's new entrance is hot

[GD]

Her entrance music sounded a lot different on Twitter. Still pretty good.

Also the crowd reaction sounds a bit different.

[DaveWadding]

Really love Matt Riddle. Real decent match with Ruas. Interesting feud they're lining up for him.

Killian Dain looks very ripped.

No Swerve just kills my interest in the Breakout Tournament.

Watching KUSHIDA just makes me want to go back and watch his older NJPW stuff. Really like them having him in showcase matches against a bunch of people from "different brands." Great finish in this one.

KEITH LEE!

I’m still interested in the Breakout Tourney but Swerve sure seemed like the easy choice for it. Cameron Grimes/Trevor Lee is good but objectively way less interesting.

[Evil Vito]

Dexter Lumis is creepy as all fuck.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Dexter Lumis is a fucking star.

[Tom Guycott]

Seems so weird to me seeing Keith Lee vs. Punishment Martinez not in an ROH ring.

And yes, even in a world where Adam Cole, Roddy and reDRagon are a stable in NXT, and Cedric Alexander is on the main roster.

[DaveWadding]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Keith Lee comes out and says this hasn't been my best year, it's time for a new Keith Lee...first match back, he gets his ass beat by Priest. Oh okay then.

Also what exactly is a "wrestling match" as described by Adam Cole, BayBay? Are they gonna have a circle? Or is it just going to be a normal ass match, when the stip is 3 gimmick matches?

I think it’s just a basic match. He wants to beat Johnny Wrestling at his own game. Interested in what Regal chooses for the 3rd fall.

Also, I’ve been following NXT UK again since the formation of Imperium. I’ll be glad when the Download tapings are done though.

JOHNNY!! :love:
