NXT Thread SPOILERS

Hopefully the audiences that the main rosters perform in front of will be willing to play along like the NXT crowd in their heat towards Ciampa.

Mr. Guappa · 27-07-2018 7:15am

The main roster is already too bloated with so much talent floating from week to week with nothing to do. Random match here and there but no ongoing storyline of note. They need a new brand called for talent that has washed through the main roster, YST, NVR or some such.

Blue_Dabadee · 27-07-2018 7:45am

I kinda don't want Shayna Baszler title run to end since she is only starting to find her grove as champion.

I also find Kairi Sane a bit of bland babyface even though she is great in the ring.

Lord TSC · 27-07-2018 9:18am

Undisputed Era, to feud against The Once Again Reunited Shield, to help get Da Big Dawg over.

SureYWouldntYa · 27-07-2018 5:31pm

The Undisputed Era is an awful name for a stable

The Undisputed Era are a fine bunch of lads though, hope they stay in NXT for as long as possible so we can enjoy them for as long as possible, ditto for Velveteen Dream

CastorTroy · 27-07-2018 6:38pm

They still need to fit an 'S' on to their logo.

HandsomeBob · 28-07-2018 8:23am

That Baszler promo sums up my attitude towards these "legit fighter" gimmicks. It's not good heel heat to refer to the competitors around you as phonies and she didn't say one thing to build up her opponent.

ThePott · 29-07-2018 12:15am

Not sure when this is going to air.

CastorTroy · 02-08-2018 6:59pm

I see they updated the opening. Final shot looks good.

And we now have ones cheering Ciampa. While Gargano is becoming a bit of a d!ck. And the fans censoring themselves.

Candace really sold the arm.

Lithium93_ · 09-08-2018 4:40pm

SPOILER from last night's NXT, but hasn't aired yet, and impacting on Takeover: Brooklyn 4 main event.

Aleister Black will not be at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4, groin injury he suffered is worst than originally thought.

PWInsider has confirmed that Black will not be at Takeover. There is no official word from WWE but it’s looking like the match will be Gargano challenging Ciampa for the NXT Championship.

From what I've seen on Instagram,

The Undisputed Era will put him on the shelf.

So Johnny Gargano/Tommaso Ciampa to tangle one more time, this time with the NXT Championship on the line

?

SureYWouldntYa · 10-08-2018 12:29am

Disappointing that, I sort of liked that Aleister Black was the 3rd wheel in the feud because he fit so well, even his theme song wanted to be involved with these guys

"No man is ever truly good" - Pans to Gargano
"No man is ever truly evil" - Pans to Ciampa

3 big singles matches in 4 months between Gargano & Ciampa is overkill no matter how good they are, it's a pity really

Lord TSC · 10-08-2018 2:11pm

As per spoilers, WWE.com have announced...

The main event will be Gargano vs Ciampa 3 in a Last Man Standing match.

(Given WWE aren't hiding this, and have announced it on WWE.com, I'd imagine spoilers might not be too nessecary, but I'll put them just in case.

CastorTroy · 12-08-2018 9:23pm

Itami says it all

CastorTroy · 16-08-2018 1:46pm

As much as I enjoyed the whole mystery being established, i did think they went overboard. I enjoyed the way it opened and you saw all the wrestlers yourself but then they went in depth with different angles and basically saying it could be anybody.

Kairi showing a bit of development

J. Marston · 16-08-2018 3:38pm

Thought the Kairi thing was really cool. That's how to give your cheery, smiling babyface some edge. Baszler reacted great to it as well.

CastorTroy · 23-08-2018 12:44pm

And on a list of things not expected on NXT: A quick lesson on the Shankly Gates.

So is working the fingers a British thing?

spektorfive · 30-08-2018 2:04pm

The talent pool is overflowing on this show and Matt Riddle still to come. I haven't read any spoilers, I wonder what they will do with Riddle? He has it all to be a huge star.

CastorTroy · 30-08-2018 2:16pm

I think Nikki is enjoying her character a little too much.

CastorTroy · 13-09-2018 9:33pm

So Ciampa now has music.

There's a guy in the front row these days who I think it's still real to. I keep thinking he's going to get himself in trouble. He was getting so worked up this week shouting "I hate you" to Ciampa.

J. Marston · 13-09-2018 10:50pm

I've only seen a handful of Otis clips but the guy makes me laugh every time...

Lord TSC · 13-09-2018 11:05pm

I adore Ciampa's shirt

Wonder if it says much on the back

cian68 · 13-09-2018 11:50pm

Thought Ohno's shirt was the highlight of NXT

Blue_Dabadee · 14-09-2018 9:02am

I can never get invested into Lars Sullivan since he is far too generic as a big guy.

He's an attention seeking cringebag.

I think his demeanour is what sets him a part. He's not a big oaf, he's billed as this psychotic genius. I like him. I like that silouette spotlight they do on him too.

CastorTroy · 15-09-2018 9:50pm

Meant to say as well, Assuming there's no double DQ or anything along those lines, after next week's episode we will have either a North American wrestler with the UK title or a UK wrestler with the North American title. Seems strange

CastorTroy · 27-09-2018 5:02pm

At least there's now one match at Evolution that should be decent

spektorfive · 05-10-2018 7:58pm

Not reading spoilers.

Is war games going to be three teams again?

Richochet & War Raiders Vs. Moustache Mountain Vs. Undisputed Era?

CastorTroy · 05-10-2018 9:27pm

No announcement on the weekly show yet and doesn't take place until Nov 17th. I'm avoiding spoilers as well but the current tapings go as far as Oct 10th, I think. So probably be announced at the tapings on Oct 17th.

CastorTroy · 11-10-2018 6:47pm

Nikki's great! Whatever happened that group she was part of? Seems they vanished.

I'm sure that Triple Threat will be nothing compared to the one at Crown Jewel.

Haven't read NXT UK spoilers, but if he doesn't drop it there, I can see Pete Dunne dropping his title soon to move fulltime to the States.
