    Enjoyed worlds Collide and it was on at a sound time for us here in Ireland.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Good show. Only result I wasn't really expecting was the men's tag title match.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,407 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    The greatest women's world champion in wrestling today. Acknowledge her...




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Hmm, I'm thinking since it's a dead brand now, that UK title should be removed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,564 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    All this champ champ stuff is starting to grate.

    So much for the tease on Raw of Nikki and Doudrop breaking up and Nikki dropping the ASH character.

    Though NXT is teasing a new member for the Dyad, wearing the red hoodie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Meant to say at the weekend that the same week they started the video packages for Sol Ruca, they had her lose on Level Up to Valentina Feroz.

    Wonder who the red hoodie person is since think this is now the third week with them.

    I think Quincy Elliott is going to be someone who only gets that reaction from the NXT crowd as he's being presented now. Probably be another Emma if he went to the main roster.

    Looks like they're rebranding to NXT

    And of course, I'm sure haters of the Bloodline loved that ending. I know it was to give more gold to them, but strange choice considering a title is usually dropped or vacated when the champion is moved to the main roster.

    HHH couldn't help himself could he, NXT was finally an actual developmental without him, so of course he had to put his stamp on it and go black and gold. Can't wait for bron breakker to have a 40 minute match where he looks really shocked someone kicked out of a move he's never won with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Gotta wonder what the point of the NA title change was.

    So is Shawn going to have an onscreen role going forward or was that just a once off?

    Good to see that return at the end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,463 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08


    Someone told HHH NXT had gone longer than 6 weeks since the last ladder match.

    Was thinking wanting the ladder match was the reason but sure nothing to stop Mello going in as champ.

    Maybe they realised they wanted Solo to have a bigger role on the main shows than they originally planned. Not that he had to be at NXT every week anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,659 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    I'd imagine it was probably to give Solo a final send off from NXT and have him end Carmellos streak. I wonder will they build up Ilja to dethrone Bron similar to Walter in NXT UK and move Bron up

    I thought Carmelo might be getting a call up to Raw or SD when he lost the title

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I like how they refer to the car park as "one of the most dangerous places in NXT".

    I didn't realise Halloween Havoc was an event. I assumed it was just going to be on the weekly NXT. But it's on Saturday the 22nd.

    Matches so far are:

    • Bron Breakker (c) vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. JD McDonagh - triple threat match for NXT title
    • Carmelo Hayes vs. Oro Mensah vs. Wes Lee vs. Von Wagner vs. Nathan Frazer or Axiom - Ladder match for NA title
    • Roxanne Perez vs. Cora Jade - Weapons Wild match
    • Julius Creed vs. Damon Kemp - Ambulance match. If Julius loses, Brutus has to leave NXT

    I assume we'll have the men's and women's tag title matches as well the NXT women's title.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    More of the main roster to NXT. Though the Pick Your Poison opponents are likely to be single appearances.

    So which was longer: The time between Veer's first video and his debut on the main roster or the time between his debut and his last appearance since he's now back on NXT?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,283 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Sonya down to dethrone Mandy or join her, it's time Mandy lost the title imho

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,543 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Nxt halloween havoc was on last night and was a good event.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yep, I enjoyed it. Some ridiculous stuff on it as well to add a bit of fun.

    Apart from the NA championship, I think the rest of the results were obvious enough.

    Looks like Dijakovic is making a return to NXT.

    We finally find out who the new member of Schism is on this week's episode. Was thinking it could be Isla dawn or Blair Davenport but think they're both taller than the person we've seen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,564 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Wes Lee deserved that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,659 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Well that was a decent show to be fair

    Schism's newest member was a surprise that I'd never have guessed. Will she be able to step out of that famous shadow is the problem

    New wrestler or stable called SCRYPTS appewrs to be debuting soon

    Mandy Rose 1yr title celebration next week, I can see dolin and jabe turning on her happening here

    I don't get the booking of dragunov, he was the man who dethroned Walter in NXT UK but has been booked so poorly since being brought in



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah I didn't expect that's how she would debut when I was looking at a list of potentials. Seems there may be plans for 3 more members since they're going the 7 Deadly Sins route.

    Wouldn't have been the first time the ref missed a tag and new champs were crowned. Just usually means a rematch.

    Think it says more about Wes Lee than the NXT crowd that they're chanting "You deserve it" when it wasn't long ago he and his partner were being booed by them for stupid reasons.

    So after Raw and NXT, I think it's safe to say we need R Truth to interrupt more often.

    They're liking their teases these days with the likes of Schism's new member, Dijakovic returning and now SCRYPTS.

    I see Sanga's conflicted by his new role.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,659 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    I'm loving the schism theme song aswell, if done well it could transfer to the main roster as long as they keep it seperate to the Wyatt 6. I see in CZW he had a very similar gimmick going with a rebel against the system type stable more obvious this week with the clean shaven look and shirts and pants attire no longer being worn

    Ava Raine becomes WWE's first 4th generation wrestler, history for WWE

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson



    Edit: Their Great Grand Parents on the otherside of the Family line didn't actually wrestler for the WWWF/WWF/WWE so thay are just 4th & 5th Generation wreslters not WWE marketable 4th Generation,

    The Usos's are 4th Generation wrestlers

    Solo Sikoa is a 4th Generation wrestler.

    Samu of the same family line was a 4th Generation wrestler in the 1980's in the WWF.

    Samu's son Lance Anoa'i who had try out matches over they years on Smackdown & RAW wrestling Shane McMahon on a RAW is a 5th Generation wrestler from that family line.

    No she is the first WWWF/WWF/WWE/NXT 4th Generation.

    Her Great Grandfather wrestled in WWWF Peter Miavia, WWF Rocky Johnson, WWE The Rock and NXT her.

    I was thinking just 4th Generation wrestler in general which there are plenty of out there espically Samoan however they all come from Peter's brothers side of the family tree.

    The Usuo's & Solo's are 4th Generation wrestlers however their Great Grandfather Peter's Brother didn't wrestle for the WWWF their connection starts from his kids The Wild Samoans and others.

    Samu & Lance come from the same side of that family tree as The Usuo's & Solo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,369 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Another debut/return being teased with the tech glitches?

    Don't think he was mentioned by name but seems a Chase U student had his scholarship revoked. Poor Thea.

    Zoey to turn during or after the match next week? Or let it go a bit longer?

    Hope Truth is okay.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,659 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    No idea who scrypts is. I'd assume someone from NXT UK brand

    The championship feuds at present are dull. I think they need to move bron and Mandy up to freshen things

    alba fyre has lost twice now and is charisma vacuum, would love to see indi get a push

    Same goes for Von Wagner and insert JD McDonagh who has also lost twice.

    I saw Von Wagner and Duke Hudson during the Lashley/Brock pull apart. Though mightn't mean they're getting called up soon.

    I agree they need to move Alba away. Hope she doesn't get the title since she is pretty bland as a face.

    Their next event is Dec 10th so may be treading water until then.
