LA Knight seems like the kind of guy Vince would want to keep based on how “sports entertainment” he is.

But there doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason behind most of the recent releases so who knows.

I believe Dunne re-upped with WWE.

Anyone who was signed out of that NXT UK pipeline is never leaving willingly.

I do still question many of the releases. There always seems to be at least one headscratcher that makes little sense with each batch of releases.

Would they go to the length of paying the talent “main roster money” for 3 months just for that?

I really love me some Toxic Attraction. Especially Gigi Dolin. ��

Gargano getting ready to make his announcement. I would think they would not be making such a big deal out of it unless he was actually staying.

Damn XL, sorry I didn't see this until just now lol.

Yes I do think so, the 60 extra days really cools off any eventual debut. Black showing up after 30 days made more of an impact than anybody who came in after having to wait 90 days.

American Alpha, The Revival and Gargano & Ciampa should have been linchpins in the Raw tag team division back in 2016.

New Years Evil Bitches!

Carmelo Hayes appears to have shit himself

Bron puts the final nail in the coffin of HHH's NXT

i want to see a bron brock an lashley match

Bron is 6ft tall and 230 lbs, he wouldn't look huge next to Lashley or Lesnar

so he would be better working aj styles

Watching this tonight.... Haven't watched NXT since War Games. Let's see...

Starting with Carmelo / Roddy, should be excellent.

Carmelo is the brightest star of all the 2.0 guys. Bron has presence but Hayes has everything, except good bowel control.

I have no idea what happened on that X Plex spot, but Hayes getting the rub is no surprise. The Cruiserweight Championship has been basically deadweight since they did Devlin vs. Escobar and in most people's opinions it was dead far before that. RIP to another idea that had limitless potential, only to be booked like a complete and total joke for the better part of 7 years.

Oh hey, AJ Styles is here. Nice.

He's going to wrestle professional annoying guy Grayson Waller next week. Sweet.

Imperium entrance v majestic

Matt Riddle, brooooooooooo

I miss watching Matt Riddle wrestle. Haven't seen him in a while. Miss him and Peter Doone as the Broserweights.

One thing they continue to do right is make WALTER matches be a special attraction. Even having him in this 6 man feels huge because he never wrestles.


Riddle throwing WALTER like it's nothing :eek:

I'd pay to watch WALTER and Matt Riddle beat the shit out of each other.

Didn't watch Mandy Rose match....don't care for Andre Chase or Ron Wagner

Ron Wagner going after stunt grannies in the crowd

Crowbar on a Pole match!

Big missed opportunity here. Could have had the AFKA Devon Storm on top of that pole. Tony wouldn’t have missed an opportunity like that.

One thing NXT absolutely loves is kidnapping angles lol.

I can’t name specific examples but now that you mentioned it I feel like kidnapping angles are RAMPANT in wrestling in general nowadays.

Maybe because I’ve heard Corny mention it a lot in his reviews over recent months.

back in his day you did the kidnapping in private and kept your. mouth shut

In a more recent day you asked people why you DON’T have chloroform.

LOL right! They don't even try in NXT, they just get in a car with tinted windows and child lock doors, then the kidnapper rolls down the window and drives off :rofl:

I've been enjoying the Cameron Grimes character arc as of late, and really hope he captures the North American Championship soon. Also that he has a nice long reign with it, as long as they actually make him a fighting champion and not another one who basically never defends it on free TV.

There’s a good chance of that actually. They’ll need someone to beat Carmelo Hayes if they want to call him and Trick Williams up to the main roster soon.
