Nice story development given Vega screwed him previously against Almas.

Scarlett needs to take it handy on the facials.

Is Samoa Joe completely done in ring wrestling?

You’d have to think he’s not given that Daniel Bryan and Christian have both come back from concussion issues, which is what Samoa joe is reportedly sidelined with.

Thought NXT was pretty great this week and hopefully this is the start of some rejuvenation for the brand cause it definitely needs it. Still wondering who is going to challenge Cross. I reckon Dakota is going to turn on Raquel pretty soon though.

All the Joe stuff was excellent although William Regal deserves serious props, what an amazing promo and performance. As for if Joe is done in the ring? I would assume not but imagine he will be on a very limited basis. I think they'll play that up and we get an unsanctioned match at some point. Really interested to see where it goes though and hoping that they can put together a decent card for Great American Bash in a few weeks.

William regal has always been great and is one of the most under appreciated wrestlers of his generation. I say under appreciated because he’s not underrated IMO. He’s a genius at pro wrestling.

Couldn't agree more, I meant in particular his acting chops, was seriously impressed. Glad he's sticking around too.

I wonder with Ted DiBiase been attacked will it lead to the return of his son Ted jnr ?

Cameron Grimes to avenge him in the sort term

Tonight's the big reveal of the diamond mine

With zero buzz anywhere for it.

Strange for that to be the case.

CastorTroy

Was actually wondering recently what happened Rust and Bivens.
And now I'm wondering if their slogan about being a "Diamond in the Rust" was a coincidence.

There was a rumour/report that it would be made up of former MMA guys.

I thought that was what the battery charging was leading up to. I guess not at the speed the charge was going..

I'd say Robert Stone being yapped at wasn't planned but they kept it in. Unless they have the dog trained to do that.

J. Marston

Internet is saying the battery charging promos are for Tegan Nox's return.

Could be wrong but that sounded like a sound clip played over

CastorTroy

I thought the same but rewatched and it looked like the dog opened its mouth at him

Great another Cole vs Kyle match at the GAB

Feel Strongs new stable could be UE lite but never know

Loving Joe as the co GM

Is the guy in hit row the same guy who presents Most wanted treasures ?

CastorTroy

NXT Breakout Tournament starting in 2 weeks so will get some new faces.

2 of the remaining 205 guys getting matches, though basically in jobber capacity.

Johnny's promo was a bit face like before Austin attacked.

After ones saying about the weak punches before, definitely can't say that about Xia's kicks when she seemed to genuinely knock Mercedes out. Not a good thing, I know since she's injured people in the past.

Think Grimes will lose.

Looks like the battery will be charged next week.

As for the title match

Surprised at that. Figured they would give Bronson a longer run. Maybe there's a reason.

beakerjoe

Bronson is

main roster bound.

J. Marston

Is Zoey Stark a big indie name? She already looks and moves way better than 95% of the women.

Shouldn't blame the victim....but....shouldn't Mercedes Martinez just put her hand or forearm up and not take it flush? No need to stick her chin out and take it flush.

https://streamable.com/mxa6uo

I hope Xia Li doesn't change her finisher because it's class.

There isn't a bigger dork in wrestling today than Kyle O'Reilly. I cannot stand him and his 2002 haircut. Clown.

Karrion Kross is gonna get Marc Mero'd with Scarlett on the main roster. Crowds will only care about her.

CastorTroy

Zoey joined the same time as a few other indie women. I'm not familiar with her but she went by Lacey Ryan. Think was the time of the tag tournament. The others have only appeared occasionally since the tournament

The White Wolf

Sh1t happens but Xia has history, that's the problem. I'm sure Martinez isn't the type to make a fuss but there are other women who will baulk at that.

She doesn’t need to change her finish J but like others have said it’s not the first time she’s dinged her opponent and to me it’s not a massive change, it’s just she needs to lighten up slightly or change how she does it.

After the tease last week on NXT UK for Blair Davenport, it was revealed this week that it's the WWE name for Bea Priestley, as rumoured.

With Walter's limited appearances these days I'd say Dragunov could take the title off him next time.

Seeing the various flags by the wrestlers' names, I was thinking this would be better named something like NXT International, though I know it's mostly UK ones

CastorTroy

This week's 205 Live was used for qualifying rounds of the Breakout Tournament. Matches were:
Guru Raaj vs. Andre Chase
Desmond Troy vs. Joe Gacy

Next week will be more qualifying matches

ThePott

Caught up on NXT. Definitely feel like it's picked up momentum over the last while.
The Xia Li kick was ugly, hope Mercedes is alright. It was scary to see her plant on the mat like that.
Gargano vs. Kross is a weird one. I don't need Gargano as champ ever again as much as I think the Way has gotten better but I do wonder if they're preparing for Kross to move to the roster and need him to drop it.
Glad to Swerve getting a title too, he's great and I think Hit Row has potential. As much as I'd like if Bronson Reed had a longer run.

Great American Bash has a solid if not stellar card. I do think it could set up NXT for the next few months though. Assuming the battery charge promos are Tegan Nox and she's going to come back to feud with Dakota/Raquel with their history. Eventually leading to a Raquel/Dakota feud.
Looking forward to the Breakout tournament too as NXT needs some fresh faces especially if they are going to get raided soon. Even if they couldn't mention who won it last time around.

PTH2009

Forgot its A Great American Bash version of NXT tonight

CastorTroy

And if want to comment on it, need to do it before 6am tomorrow.

ThePott

A look at the Great American Bash set for tonight.
Not sure if I can spoiler an image.

E5pKUb0XwAIxTea?format=jpg

Looks awesome! Wish they did more specialised sets in general.

CastorTroy

So I guess no one talks to HHH about plans? A multiple week tease to bring Tegan back and looking like a feud with Candace only to then bring her to Smackdown a couple nights later

It’s evident with some recent decisions that’s vince is making the calls and if they line up with what HHH is doing on nxt then great, but if not then tough ****. Nice to see Mandy rose back in NXT and she’s escaped the main roster make up cannon.
