    I like Adam Rose, but i feel like they are going to push him for a few weeks then drop the ball with him soon after just like Damien Sandow or Fandango.

    In fairness, Fandango is hugely lucky he's even still got a spot on TV and still gets effort put into his entrance. It's a miracle his character lasted longer than 2 months

    Looks like a face turn for Sasha Banks somewhere down the line. I guess the plans of Alexa Bliss as the next BFF have changed.

    It's a pity that Camacho didn't get the typical Samoan Savage gimmick or at least a look and persona in line with his heritage.

    Playing friend of a Mexican when your Dad is Haku and adopted brother is in Bullett Club must be frustrating for him.

    It hasn't. From last Saturday in Palatka, Florida:

    The NXT TV show last night stated that the NXT Women's title is vacant.

    That is the best way to do it - no point in weakening the divas champion by having her drop the nxt womens title to someone on that roster!

    Was thinking that next month would be a good time to debut Solomon Crowe on tv with Watch Dogs getting released.

    Join the NXT debutees prayer circle, brothers:

    An image doing the rounds on Twitter: Alexa Bliss, Kendall Skye, Veronica Lane and Becky Lynch.

    We will probably just get Nattie, Fox and Aksana in the Women's title tournament instead.

    Sadly only Alexa Bliss debuted out of the Women.

    NXT Spoilers:
    Alexander Rusev squashed an enhancement wrestler in a dark match.

    Episode One

    JBL stripped Paige of the NXT Women's Championship because she holds the WWE Divas Championship.

    1. Tyson Kidd beat Bo Dallas.

    2. Sasha Banks over Bailey to advance in the NXT tournament.

    3. Adam Rose beat Danny Burch. Rose won quickly. A member of the Rose entourage was attacked by Camacho.

    4. Natalya beat Layla in a tournament match. Natalya won with a Sharpshooter.

    5. Mojo Rawley defeated Oliver Grey. Mojo won quickly. Aiden English came out to the stage and cut a promo telling him to leave the ring. English attacked him, but Rawley quickly clotheslined him over the top rope.

    6. Adrian Neville defeated Brodus Clay in a No DQ match to retain the NXT Championship. Clay had the title belt on his chest after failing to use it as a weapon.

    Episode Two

    Triple H came out for a promo. He announced that there would be a battle royal to determine the No. 1 contender for the NXT Title. He also stated that on the NXT live special, the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship will be defended.

    1. Charlotte pinned Emma in a tournament match. Emma went for the Cobra, but hit Sasha Banks on the ring apron, leading to Charlotte rolling her up for the win.

    2. Kalisto and El Locale beat The Legionnaires.

    3. Camacho beat the masked member of Adam Rose's entourage. Camacho won with a running power slam.

    4. Alexa Bliss beat Alicia Fox in a tournament match.

    5. The 20-man battle royal was a three-way draw. Tyson Kidd eliminated Bo Dallas and it came down to Kidd, Sami Zayn, and Tyler Breeze. All three remaining entrants hit the floor at the same time.

    Triple H announced that Kidd, Zayn, and Breeze would meet in a Triple Threat match on the next show to determine which man will challenge for the NXT Championship on the NXT Takeover special on May 29.

    Episode Three

    1. The Ascension beat a pair of enhancement wrestlers. Squash match. The Ascension said they need something new to destroy. The lucha tag team came out and issued a challenge.

    2. Charlotte defeated Alexa Bliss in the second round of the tournament. Charlotte won clean.

    3. Mojo Rawley beat Aiden English.

    4. Big Cass beat Angelo Dawkins. CJ Parker came out holding a sign that read "This sign is recyclable."

    5. Tyson Kidd defeated Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze in a Triple Threat match to become No. 1 contender to the NXT Championship. Best match of the night thus far. Zayn caught Breeze with a big boot. Zayn was dumped to the floor by Kidd, who followed up with a top rope elbow drop onto Breeze for the win. Kidd will challenge for the NXT Championship on May 29.

    Episode Four

    It was announced Big E would face Bo Dallas in a "win or go home match." If Bo wins, he gets a future NXT Title shot. If Bo loses, he's out of NXT.

    1. Paige defeated Tamina Snuka. Tamina went for a splash, but Paige got her feet up and then rolled her up for the pin.

    2. Adam Rose beat Camacho by count out. Rose went for his finisher, but Camacho slipped out and went to the floor, where he was counted out.

    3. Natalya defeated Sasha Banks to advance in the tournament. Sasha was at risk of being counted out so Charlotte threw her back inside. Natalya applied the Sharpshooter and Sasha tapped out. The tournament finals are Natalya vs. Charlotte.

    4. NXT Champion Adrian Neville defeated Curt Hawkins. Neville won a quick match. Afterward, Kidd came out and said he would win the NXT Championship on May 29. Neville said the only member of Kidd's family leaving with gold that night would be his wife. They stared each other down and Kidd eventually left.

    5. Big E defeated Bo Dallas in a "win or go home match." Bo performed his double-arm DDT and went for a cover, but E kicked out. E gained control and won with The Big Ending. Goodbye Bo from NXT. This was the final match of the taping.

    Best taping in a long while from people who were there - simply there was a lot of variety in the talent used. Lots of people very angry online about the amount of main roster women in the tournament and the lack of debutees (Becky Lynch *cough*).

    Bo Dallas was the star of the TV taping due to a large story development, new music and entrance theme.

    WWE announced the sequal to NXT Arrival to air on the WWE Network. The following matches are scheduled for WWE's NXT Takeover, which takes place on May 29 at Full Sail University. Matches for which were setup at last night's NXT Tapings:
    -Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd for the NXT Championship.

    -Natalya vs. Charlotte for the vacant NXT Women's Championship.

    -Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze in a No. 1 contenders match.

    Among the notable debuts were the aforementioned Alexa Bliss:

    Haven't read the spoilers, but going by this week's episode it looks like Charlotte will be doing well in it or will win.

    Found it weird how they handled Paige this week. Stripping her of the title, not showing her entrance then getting pinned.

    No entrance as she would have the NXT title during the entrance. Pin to set up Charlotte feud that probably won't happen now

    Really enjoyed NXT this week for the first time in along time.

    Sad to see Burch and Grey get "killed" off and I hate the sight of Nattie these days.

    But the crowd was SUPER hyped. Great new entrances of Bo Dallas and Bailey. Tyson Kidd was on fire. Sasha Banks's new
    finishing sequence
    is pretty cool and Brodus Clay vs Adrian Neville was a fun, unique little match.

    I like how Bo has taken all the negativity toward him when he was face and used it to really build his character into something we can all enjoy and dislike as we're meant to

    Subscribe to the Network but I got it "elsewhere." As it is up earlier and the Network's time slider thing is so poor.

    Becky Lynch wrested her first match since January tonight tagging with Bailey and beating the BFFs Charoltte and Sasha Banks.
