Yeah meant to say congrats to Kairi. She was so emotional.

And Ciampa accepting his award and giving it back was funny to watch

CastorTroy · 27-01-2019 6:21pm

This will probably air on next week's NXT but after the stream ended

And the Q&A with Cathy and Paul

CastorTroy · 27-01-2019 8:40pm

Meant to say as well, I noticed during the video packages on the preshow for Almas, that they reedited them so the commentary only said Andrade. At least they didn't go the WWF logo route of blurring out the rest of the name when on screens.

SureYWouldntYa · 27-01-2019 8:52pm

Of all the name droppings they've done, Andrade's might annoy me the most

Andrade "Cien" Almas was just a cool ass name, and he's been in WWE what 3 years establishing himself and the name before they go bothering with more removing

NXT men and women reactions to being in the Rumble. Xia Li's reaction is great.

i really wish wwe would produce stuff as good as those videos for raw/smackdown/nxt would add so much to the characters. some of there best videos are online and never seen by the majority fans who dont go on message boards or twiiter looking

CastorTroy · 30-01-2019 11:21pm

Like I said in the Rumble thread, they need to follow up on the Rumble appearances for Xia and Kacy. When was the last time we saw them on NXT? Previous main roster Battle Royals had women taking part that we have seen little of since.

All the men are seen regularly

Omackeral · 31-01-2019 7:34am

Greatest Royal Rumble had Dan Matha who we saw a grand total of once and another "NXT" rep was Babatunde who I think has never been on TV. Strange inclusions indeed.

CastorTroy · 31-01-2019 6:41pm

The reaction for Kairi this week and at the Rumble was great.
Wonder if Roderick helps Marina with training

I'd never seen either before, but fell in love with both. The definition of making an impression.

CastorTroy · 31-01-2019 7:08pm

Think I only saw them both in the Mae Young Classic before the Rumble match. Kacy's first match looked like this

Somehow she won then lost to Rhea Ripley in the next round

What is going on with the other girl's pants?

In a similar vein though, Duke vs Kairi...

CastorTroy · 31-01-2019 9:44pm

They're like denim chaps to go with the whole cowgirl theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KzBH-w0nHc

Just wait for Kacy vs Kairi. Need great zoom on the camera to see the action, they're both so tiny.

CastorTroy · 07-02-2019 7:58pm

Wonder how Johnny Mundo/Nitro/Impact feels about Johnny Gargano/Takeover/Champion?

CastorTroy · 19-02-2019 9:49pm

So with what happened on Raw this week, assuming it's permanent, where does that leave NXT?
That must have been the most damaging sweep done yet, with regard taking 4 of their top guys.

Dream and UE to become even more prominent and Pete Dunne moving fulltime, dropping the UK title.

Riddle to be moved up the ladder quickly and maybe Keith Lee?

Special announcement on NXT this week.

johnnyryan89 · 19-02-2019 10:24pm

So is tomorrow's NXT gonna be live on the network and not pre recorded. I'd say with Sasha and Baley announcing they'll defend the titles on any brand it could be NXT becoming a main brand and not just being seen as developmental anymore and the four lads showing up at Raw was just to show them off to the mainstream casual viewers rather than actual call ups to Raw.

Lord TSC · 19-02-2019 10:41pm

Wouldn't be shocked at all.

Hunter refered to them as a third "globally touring" brand. If thats their goal, they'll probably need to make them eligible for part of the draft as well.

Yeah that would tie in with the reports that they’re going to be showing it on Fox when that deal starts too. They’ll need bigger names on it.

Cotts72 · 21-02-2019 4:47am

Just read up on the upcoming spoilers...Saw nothing about a major announcement unless it was the dusty classic??

Yeah, seems to be they overhyped it a bit.

CastorTroy · 21-02-2019 1:41pm

Jeremy Borash appearance this week.

Also big spoiler

unfortunately I saw the result of the main event when checking online to see if the call ups were permanent.

I was thinking they were trying to push more women, but don't think any of the 3 that came out were named

Watch Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic from the last night's NXT if it's the only thing you do this week.

Very good episode overall this week and that match was great. I hadn’t seen NXT in a while but it’s very easy to dip back in. Nice to see

Sasha and Bayley back in NXT. Wonder if they might do something with them v the MMA Horsewomen?

CastorTroy · 21-03-2019 7:56pm

Takeover card taking shape now. Spoilers for this week's NXT and NXT UK

Gargano vs Cole for the vacant NXT title
Shirai vs Sane vs Belair vs Baszler
Dunne vs Walter for NXT UK title
Dream vs Riddle for the North American title (likely)
Forgotten Sons or Ricochet/Black vs War Raiders

Lord TSC · 22-03-2019 12:43pm

That....looks incredible.

Like, the last few shows I've felt they didn't look good on paper but absolutely were amazing. But that show looks incredible on paper.

J. Marston · 22-03-2019 2:10pm

I barely follow any of the stories on NXT itself but always watch the Takeovers and get very invested in the matches then. Testament to the quality of the show that they can do that. Gargano/Andrade and Kairi/Baszler when Kairi won the title had me practically cheering near falls and submissions.

Gargano/ andrade is up there with my favorite matches of all time only 2nd to hbk/taker for me

I know who won't be taking a pin in that line up anyway.

PTH2009 · 22-03-2019 5:23pm

Really have too catch up on NXT

My interest went astray when the call ups happened a few weeks ago

CastorTroy · 28-03-2019 2:13pm

So those 2 matches are now confirmed for Takeover as of this week's episode

Dream vs Riddle
War Raiders vs Ricochet/Black

Also it seems all the lesser seen women are just getting matches to be attacked

J. Marston · 28-03-2019 2:26pm

It's gonna be sad when Dream is getting no reaction on the main roster. Guy is dripping with charisma.

Was just about to post the video above it’s absolutely incredible video a must watch

Itssoeasy · 03-04-2019 9:53pm

It is and hopefully it all works out for him with the surgery. I didn’t know about the issues he and his wife had trying for a kid. The second part will be even better. I hope he’s at mania weekend if not obviously in ring.

sky88 · 03-04-2019 9:55pm

I think we can all forget there normal people in the end and have normal lives with troubles just like the rest of us

J. Marston · 03-04-2019 10:27pm

Don't think I can ever look at him as a heel again after watching that. Calling his daughter "the real Goldie" was adorable.

Neck stuff is so serious, a young career like Jason Jordan's seems to be over because of neck issues. Really hope he can make it back.

CastorTroy · 04-04-2019 12:46pm

Will watch that Ciampa video later but speaking of real life, saw the new WWEPC video on this week's NXT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90LhTmfhHpA

Their youtube page seems to have a lot of videos to check out

Lithium93_ · 04-04-2019 9:36pm

Sweet

CastorTroy · 04-04-2019 10:56pm

Seeing the shot of the men and women together in that video reminds me how naturally the women seem to have moved up in NXT and deserve the place alongside the guys. The main show still seems like it's forced. Though I think that's because they keep shouting about everything they do on the main roster from the rooftops.
Like if the women's match closed Takeover, nothing would be said about it, apart from maybe the same type of people who probably cancelled their subs after the WM main event was announced

J. Marston · 04-04-2019 11:13pm

Bianca winning and Shayna moving up seems like a cert.

CastorTroy · 11-04-2019 12:31pm

Pretty much just a Takeover recap with a couple other matches thrown in this week, but looking forward to next week when

Velveteen Dream takes on Buddy Murphy for the NA Championship. Want to see how Buddy does outside 205

CastorTroy · 02-05-2019 1:10pm

Expected them to not let Kushida use the BttF look/names but all there.

Glad they did, was a good debut. Hope to see him cross paths with Kyle O'Reilly and Ricochet again at some stage, his matches against them in the BOSJ were brilliant.

Agent Coulson · 09-05-2019 4:48pm

Mauro has signed a new contract by all reports to stay on as lead announcer.

CastorTroy · 16-05-2019 1:20pm

Just said on this week's NXT that Percy Watson has left WWE and replaced by Beth Phoenix on commentary.

War Raiders going by their new name. I guess it means that if they lose, they can say The War Raiders are undefeated.

Seemingly Roderick Strong stabbed Riddle in the side/stomach going by the fact there was blood

Wasn't expecting a Takeover to be on a non PPV weekend. June 1st

Omackeral · 16-05-2019 11:48pm

Had to laugh at Angelo Dawkins getting on the Tag Champs.

''Viking Raiders.... if that is your real name.''
