    Giulia is dealing with an injury and visa issues so thats the reasoning behind the short reign.. Hopefully its not too serious and she`s back soon

    Fallon seems to be channeling her inner Tiffy at times these days.

    Stephanie pulling double duty next week.

    Triple threat for the NXT title at Stand & Deliver?

    Pretty sure don't need a thread for Evolve since would likely be very quiet so will post here. Releases on YouTube here.

    This week saw Stevie Turner announced as the new GM and Timothy Thatcher appearing as a former Evolve champ. Don't know if he's back full-time.

    And Jessika Carr debuted as a masked wrestler, Kalyx.

    It's mostly Level Up by another name though but they seem to be building stories which Level Up only started doing near the end.

    But as it's just started they're just trying to get people time through tag matches. With some singles matches. Mix of NXT, indie and PC people. Couple of the indie ones I recognise are Kylie Rae and Jack Cartwheel. Galus, Wendy Choo and Luca Crusifino from NXT.

    Had to laugh at the NXT crowd shouting Tony fumbled at the end, bit OTT imo since it's only NXT mid card title.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,564 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    But it's funny a former AEW guy beat a former AEW guy only to be attacked by a former AEW guy.

    How long until Stacks turns on Tony? Teased before but seems to be worse now.

    For a second I thought Darkstate were siding with Trick. And then Ava seemed to be nodding her head in approval after the attack.

    is NXT Ricky’s ceiling tho?! Does anyone think he would make an impact on the main roster ?
    i havnt seen enough of him in WWE.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,267 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    As someone who enjoyed him for the most part in AEW, if he gets called up to the main roster I can't see him getting further than the midcard



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,306 ✭✭✭Ridley


    That's main eventing weekly shows at least These Days.

    Wonder if Netflix can come up with a way to improve the stream by offering an alternate that removes the crowd audio.

    Roxanne Perez teaming up with Cora Jade

    Wouldn't mind seeing Cora and Roxanne get the win



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,564 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Stand & Deliver at 6pm.

    -Oba Femi vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans in a Triple Threat for the NXT Championship

    -Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Jaida Parker in a four-way for the NXT Women’s Championship

    -Nathan Frazer and Axiom vs. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger for the NXT Tag Team Titles

    -Tony D’Angelo, Stacks, and Luca Crusifno vs. three members of “DarkState” Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, and Osiris Griffin

    -(Pre-Show) Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson vs. Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley vs. Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne in a four-way for a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    all results expected and agreed bar the 2 tag teams matches..Hank and Tank being the ones to dethrone fraxiom is disappointing but hopefully means we may see them on the main roster now

    Taytum and Gigi are no way credible challengers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,564 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    The turn has been teased for a while and expected it last time it was teased.

    Overall a good show.

    Think one of the main problems with the ladder match was the amount of obvious waiting around for moves. Izzi seemed the worst for it and the most out of place at times.

    Camera had to cut to black when Thea entered due to showing more than she probably intended. Or maybe showing she was a Grown A$$ Woman. While cutting that may be expected, not a fan of them muting the crowd during a PLE.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,760 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Main event was brilliant. These NXT big show main events are always very good but those three worked so well together.

    Oba just has it. Trick is brilliant and Evans is one of a kind so should have expected it but I was still taken by surprise at just how good it was.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,777 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I rewatched the first hour of stand and deliver today because I was only half watching it Saturday with the Grand Prix, and the blank screen on her entrance has been fixed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,564 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Probably realised they hit the panic button too quickly.

    Stephanie wasn't happy with Roxanne this week, shouting at her to get to her knees while doing Booker's favourite move.

    Will see now if we get the Heritage Cup rules back.

    Joe Hendry doing the rounds anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,564 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Interesting choice for new number 1 contender. Be interesting to see how he does.

    Lexis King taking shots at AEW, wont be a good luck if he gets released and burns his bridges with his former employer. Tbh he's always been bang average in the ring



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I forgot Nikita Lyons was still with WWE, on TNA as from NXT , with all the cuts how is she surviving



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,510 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I'm not saying this is the only reason, I don't watch NXT regularly but I know when the cuts were happening I heard people point out that she has a massive Instagram following, over a million followers and that could be a factor WWE would consider depressingly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Not a fan of that title change at all. I assume Stephanie is being fast tracked to main roster but why not drop it to JG last weekend then. Jacy Jane has all the signs of being future endeavoured in the next year

    Edited: Apparently SV is headed to Raw and JG to Smackdown. leaves NXT pretty low on credible face challengers for the title

    Yeah, out of all the women there, I would not have guessed Jacy. There was a time I would've predicted a run for Fallon. Looking at the list of NXT women, there weren't many to choose from. Lash, maybe? Sol or Kelani?

    They brought in Zaria with hype and promos, building her up to be a powerhouse, only to then be pushed back by Stephiane, Giulia and Jordynne. Maybe now they'll try to build her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Zaria got buried as soon as she sided with Sol and started the comedy skits, i think we are going to inevitably see her turn heel on Sol in the coming weeks.

    Kelanie and Karmen seem to just eat losses so aren't viable either. Lash potentially could be the one considering shes solo now and without direction



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Well I did not think it would be Jacy dethroning Stephanie, taking the title but she has been around a fair bit and has paid her dues, his reaction priceless

    I'd have thought Jordynne would be a logical challenger if SV is off to the main roster but maybe I've not been paying enough attention to NXT of late

    As Cotts was saying, both Stephanie and Jordynne are supposedly moving up.
