The only worry for NXT is that the roster will be decimated in the draft...and talent completely misused on main rosters

Triple H losing his marbles already

Have to admit tho he done an amazing job and JR would not of made that much of an impact if he held onto the role longer

Is regal a producer as well as on screen GM

NXT isn't part of the draft apparently.

They're still changing the format as they go anyway. The announce team had a new location.

Seeing Cameron Grimes, I remember reading he was the next big thing on the indie scene as Trevor Lee before he joined TNA. And he's only 25. And only one of the newer guys that has appeared both weeks.

Dakota seemed happy to be back anyway. Not sure on Conti. She seems to just be a jobber confused whether she's face or heel. And just who does Team Kick consist of that Dakota is captain?

Just need to watch the main event.

And Mauro referencing Terra Ryzing.

Next week they have 3 title matches planned in their full 2 hours on USA. And they were sure to say they have limited ads.

Must be something else on next week that the Men's, Women's and Tag Titles are all being defended on live TV with limited commercials

Wonder how the limited commercials will work and is it a one off, will there be one commercial per title match giving them lots of air time to have PPV quality matches.

J. Marston · 26-09-2019 9:41pm

Week 2 did 1,000,006 viewers, down 15% but still seems a pretty good rating.

Tegan Nox is the other member of Team Kick. Ironically both have had devestating leg injuries over the last year.

CastorTroy · 26-09-2019 9:45pm

Probably try and make the matches commercial free. They don't want people switching over to another station and seeing something there. Could nearly see WWE watching AEW to be sure they air the ads at the same time.

Not sure what way the matches will go. I can see 1 title changing due to the occasion. But none seem likely.

Wargames is still nearly 2 months away as well

In fairness to WWE NXT live is already better than Raw and Smackdown.

Her and Tegan nox and maybe ruby riott unofficially.

CastorTroy · 26-09-2019 10:58pm

That's what I thought I read. Think they need to stop calling her that on NXT though, especially since they haven't been a team. I know she favours kicks, but really it's like if they kept calling Ohno and/or Cesaro King of Wrestling

Probably the women's title. Candice to pull a shocker and get the win. Don't think anyone from Undisputed Era will be dropping a title for the next couple of months.

bennyl10 · 28-09-2019 11:05am

With NXt going to TV is gonna be unable to watch live form here legally?

Maybe with a Rhea Ripley distraction? At least if she drops the title then you can have Ripley/Shayna build up a decent feud and then after have Rhea go after Candice for the title

sky88 · 03-10-2019 10:22am

actually going to spoiler that just in case as the show doesnt air till today here

Finn, dream ( as i expect riddle is raw bound) DIY vs undisputed era war games books itself

In a way,

Finn's

the real winner here, assuming he's getting main roster money for NXT, less travel and only has to hang around Florida.

Your idea intrigues me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Agent Coulson · 03-10-2019 2:44pm

So is he now on main event money doing the limited NXT schedule of house shows around Florida?

That's a nice handy gig for him if it is getting big money and getting to stay in his own bed every night.

I'm just assuming, and we all know what assumptions are.

J. Marston · 03-10-2019 3:11pm

It's a safe assumption, I think. No-one will take a pay cut with kicking up a major stink.

But never mind him coming back because the other surprise was far better.

NO-ONE WILL SURVIVE! Fantastic to see him back.

CastorTroy · 03-10-2019 8:32pm

Quite enjoyed that.
Honestly, not a fan of

Finn

coming back. The other return was cool though
This is the first NXT with Gargano since going live?

I guess Tegan Nox is NXT bound and not just NXT UK.

At least know Damien Priest is heel now. Wasn't too sure before. Doing his own CrossRhodes

I noticed the guy who's usually front row wasn't there. I guess weekly shows would be too expensive to attend.

Also since they're staying in Full Sail, you'd think they would go with padded railings if the area around the ring is going to be so narrow.

PTH2009 · 03-10-2019 11:58pm

I'd love to see Finn go heel down there

He might go back to the main roster sometime. I dont want his run of becoming the first universal champion to be forgotten about

TimesArrow · 04-10-2019 12:02am

When Finn came out my first thought was could they build to a SS match between Undisputed v Finn and the OC/Club? Could that happen as a one off event? Unlikely probably

No apparently BT have no interest in it for now they’re prob reluctant to pay out anymore money on WWE until they see how Raw and Smackdown pan out.

OneEightSeven · 04-10-2019 10:34pm

WWE is stale in the UK. Sky didn't bother bidding for the rights due to low ratings, so BT purchased the rights for Raw and Smackdown at a knockdown price. With NXT only doing 33 - 50% of Raw's ratings in America, there's no rush to ad more WWE content to the channel.

It’s not a fair to use the ratings in the uk and Ireland considering the time WWE is on here.

It’s also repeated on 9pm the next night so the time Really isn’t an excuse.

dannocasey · 05-10-2019 12:33pm

So just curious. Do people see Finn's move as a demotion in anyway? I know people really like NXT and see it somewhat different from Raw and Smackdown but it's hard not to see it more akin to a development territory than anything else. He's probably better off being a big fish in a smaller pool but curious if others (and he) might see it as a smack in the face

Probably on same contract and might actually have a decent match or two for a change

I can see others going there too also, KO possibly

CastorTroy · 10-10-2019 1:36pm

Only halfway through this week's episode, but I guess this confirms 205 Live is done. First it wasn't on last week and now the title is the "NXT Cruiserweight Championship"

Watched a bit of AEW, I like the old school style, it's very much got a wcw V wwe feel to it now. Great for wrestling fans

johnnyryan89 · 24-10-2019 3:03am

Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic could fight every week and I'd be cool with that.

Also what a way to close out the show.

sky88 · 24-10-2019 7:28am

What a great ending

Well **** me pink a heel finn Balor this could be great

J. Marston · 24-10-2019 1:15pm

The kick was so fast. Completely caught me off-guard when he did it.

Same could be said for Johnny Gargano.

CastorTroy · 24-10-2019 8:21pm

Yeah, that's how you do a surprise heel turn. All too often you can tell the attack is coming from someone holding a chair, but that kick was perfectly done.
Though if joining UE, how does the 'B' fit in their logo? But can't see Finn being a member if he can't be the leader.

Dijakovic has a look Vince would love though can see the name being changed. Probably just to Dominik.
That suplex/power bomb could've gone very wrong but they recovered okay.

And the NXT women's titles getting defended.
Seeing Tegan made me remember Ciampa doesn't wear a brace anymore.

Clearly building to Riddle/Goldberg. Jackhammer, Goldberg like Riddle chants, all being pointed out by Mauro and Riddle even saying "You're Next!"

I don't think it's Finn joining the UE, more along the lines of (obviously) making Ciampa and Gargano think they had an ally in Finn, only for him to Pele kick an unexpecting Gargano.

Either way, for the first time in a long time, consider my interest in whatever they do next with Finn piqued...

sky88 · 24-10-2019 9:05pm

I took it as the undisputed era just allowing it happen as opposed to Finn joining the ue

Agent Coulson · 24-10-2019 9:17pm

Finn needs his own stable or at least a monster standing beside him.

Rouge Finn attacking everyone heel or babyface could work as well.
