    Cautious about giving predictions about the show given all the intrigue going into the show. Which it is a welcome change from the main roster PPVs which are either paint by numbers or something where I can't be arsed about caring about wins & losses and future booking.

    I must say the shared feeling of success and happiness from Steen's peers from his Indies today on social media has been so awesome.

    Well on Wreddit (famous last words)
    someone claiming to be a Full Sail student who was at the rehearsal last night said that Balor is going to wear it and it will be his Venom design.

    Personally expect it what else could he be referring to? Hornswoggle :eek:

    He's slimmed down so much. He'll always be a big burly dude but he's looking as good as he ever has.

    Actually good to see this get its own thread. I think it's earned it and has all the makings of a decent PPV with less chance of knowing the outcome of the matches.

    The pre show has been more or less pre-taped now lads.
    Corey Graves announced his retirement. Joins the announce team tonight!

    PWInsider reported that what opens the show is:
    Kevin Owens's debut!!!

    Didn't think much of the tag match.

    There was only one Superstar in the ring and that was Finn.

    Adrian Neville is more Philip than Gary I think for all his ability he doesn't have IT.

    I don't know when it announced he was debuting tonight I had a feeling he would have cost Sami his last chance at the title.


    Agreed great show.

    Finn Balor has IT that came across on screen tonight he looked like complete star.

    It makes me sad WWE can put out such a high calibre show like tonight and then give us crap on Monday Night Raw.

    Such a good show. Did not see the ending coming at all.

    It just makes RAW etc all the more frustrating when you see how good a product WWE can produce when Vince McMahon, Michael Hayes and Kevin Dunn have no input.

    Mkes me really hopeful for the future when HHH is the main guy in charge!

    I think the reason NXT is so good is it's a focused show with a clear idea.

    It's written so simply, but as is often the case in wrestling, a simple framework and then actually TRUSTING(reading this Vince?) your talent to fill in the blanks and tell the story and deliver quality in ring action is all we want. RAW is so absurdly over produced and Vince wants to control every aspect of it. As Punk said, it's a creative strait jacket.

    RAW is all over the place and they try to cater to all types of their fanbase. Something for everyone, but it doesn't work.

    I think back to Nitro around 96-97 for the last time a formula like that really worked. Cruiserweight action, guys like Kevin Sullivan and Benoit brawling, tag team wrestling and then the major angles involving the top stars.

    RAW has an identity crisis.
