Amazing show. I'm not sure if it was just being in a HUGE arena for an NXT show that made it feel like a "Wrestlemania" show for NXT due to the scale difference, but it definitely had that aura.
It's bizarre how well the "indie" crowd scaled to a 15000 person show. Like, who would have ever thought "Blue Pants" would get a massive pop in a 15k-seat arena? I don't really like Bayley (COME AT ME BROS), because I just don't feel like she's on the same level as the other "Four Horsewomen" but it was an incredible match that made me care about seeing her win, even if they almost died a few times. Ladder match didn't quite hit the same bar, but it was good. If WWE runs more of these day-before-a-big-PPV NXT in a giant arena shows, they're going to run a very real risk of a very peculiar problem: their "developmental" show is going to be a better product putting on better shows in front of a better, more engaged crowd of the same size as their "big PPV." I'm not sure how exactly you handle that. |

Easy. You let the guy running the ship for your "minor league" program run the ship for the majors as well and buy new wallets as the money flows in.

When Finn Balor makes it to the main roster, does Vince do a stereotypical Irish bullshit gimmick with him, or... Does he just make him Finn Balor, with the fact that he is Irish?
I hope for the latter so much. |

Dunno... Don't think TNA ever did venues as big as this, and if they did, they sure didn't sell it out.

Nothing is going to top Sasha/Bayley tonight. Still hungover after that. Just want to see entrances and last 5 mins of every match tonight.
Still hungover after that one Alicia Fox verse Melina match as well. |

I understand why fans love NXT, I really do. You have a chance to get invested in feuds and characters stories that the main roster just doesn't even try to do.
But to say that Summerslam has no chance of beating this show from an IN RING perspective is an exaggeration. Summerslam will have Cena/Rollins, Owens/Cesaro, Bray/Harper/Reigns/Ambrose, Rusev/Dolph and Orton/Sheamus, all of which could have very fun matches, not to mention the fact that other matches could easily spring a surprise. Woman's match won't come close obviously because it is a forced story and match to get them all involved, but SS could easily have a better in ring night than NXT |

Cena/Rollins will end in a DQ/dusty finish or "lolcenawins"
That tag match is 2/3 of what it should be. Rusev/Dolph will probably devolve into hair pulling between the two women. Oh yeah....really looking forward to that Orton/Sheamus match....totally. Not good when you don't mention the main event of the show as something to look forward to. I'm watching SS tonight, but I'm just not invested in much on tonight's show. I think that's fair. I'm interested in the outcomes, but I'm expecting to just want to fast forward through most of the middle of the matches. That's just me. |

For all their booking problems, the main shows rarely disappint for match quality and a 4 hour Summerslam will make sure to have quality matches on it. They can't overdo duff finishes on the 2nd biggest show of the year... |

I'm curious if they will do an NXT vs WWE angle at some point based on recent success.
Its funny how they have wanted to create fake competition even since WCW closed shop. This is the most legit second brand they have created - where it has a different look and feel from regular WWE programming. However, I hope they never try that because it will ruin NXT. |

Great show.
* Jushin Liger showed up and looked really good. I hope this evolves into issues with Tyler Breeze and top international talent booked by William Regal. * The Vaudevillains winning the Tag Titles was pretty hot. Blue Pants showing up was great, and I can't wait to see her mix it up with Alexa Bliss. The tag tournament should be interesting. Jason Jordan & Chad Gable drop it to Enzo & Cass in the finals, I hope. Let that start a feud between the teams. Blake & Murphy can keep their issue with English & Gotch alive based on their personal issues right now. * I liked the hype video they did for Joe vs. Corbin. Joe's probably the next in line for an NXT Title shot at the October Takeover, which works fine for me. Corbin and Rhyno will probably hover around the feud too. * Tye Dillinger is pretty fucking good at what he does. Apollo Crews seemed like he fit in. I'd actually like to see him mix it up with Tyler Breeze in the future. * The women's match drew me in. Great psychology from the girls. I don't think I liked it as much as Banks vs. Becky, but Bayley got a great moment here. I'm not sure where they go with the Women's Title now, but Emma seems like a great interim challenger while they build-up Nia Jax. * Kevin Owens is such a great heel. |

From the sound of it, Bayley vs. Banks was the match of the weekend.

DAMN iNATOR, Kevin Owens lost his championship rematch. He lost the title to Balor at the "Beast in the East" show. Thought you should know.
