WWE NXT reviews recaps and reactions This Sucks The show opened with Karrion Kross relinquishing his title due to a shoulder injury. We still don’t know the actually extent of the injury, but I’d have to guess it’s going to be many months for recovery. If it were just a month or two, they’d probably just book around it. That is a huge bummer. Just like when this happened to Finn Bálor, it’s always a downer to see a wrestler have to go on the shelf just after reaching a pinnacle. I mean it’s always a downer when any wrestler has to go on the shelf in general, but it’s an even stiffer kick in the beanbags when they just achieved something big. It sucks for the promotion too. Because they had a plan for him. Perhaps that plan was a long title reign. Now they have to slot people into the title scene that weren’t supposed to be there, upending all they had planned for those people. They have to pretty much tear up a large portion of their outline of events and come up with something new. NXT creative is consistent, and they’ll likely come up with something good. But it’s often not as good as the big picture they had planned. They have experience in this. Twice Tommaso Ciampa’s injuries delayed big plans for his feud with Johnny Gargano, including denying us the finish of that two year program. Both of those situations, they came up with something, but in regards to the second injury, it was never going to be as rewarding as the proper payoff. The Plan Now for what they decided to do with this vacant gold. William Regal announced there’d be a FATAL 4-WAY IRON MAN MATCH to decide the new champion. It will include Finn Bálor, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, & Adam Cole. They don’t have anyone else who can slot into this spot right now. And this match should rule no matter what. Iron Man matches are fun but really can bog down in the middle with just two competitors. But with a fatal 4-way, it should keep things fresh. Guys can rotate in and out of focus to keep the action exciting. And these are four straight up excellent wrestlers. No doubt they’ll put together a great one. Tommaso Ciampa just returned and the last we saw him was getting his ass kicked by Kross. That’s a tough spot to justify giving someone a title match. Their answer was to turn him back into a vicious heel with a squash and post match brutalizing of Jake Atlas. This was likely not the original plan but they needed to give us a reason to believe he deserves to be in this match. Going back to the classic Blackheart does that. Normally it’d be odd to have pretty much four heels in a match like this. You could argue that Cole is now a tweener after his Pat McAfee feud and Finn has been one for awhile. But not to have one true babyface is wild. But all these guys are at a point where it just doesn’t matter because they’re all so good. If I had to pick a winner, I’d pick Finn Bálor. Johnny doesn’t feel like he’s high enough of the card, Adam just came off a LONG title reign, and Tommaso just returned with a rushed heel turn. But we’ll see how they go. Get pumped for this match! Finally Tyler Breeze and Fandango have finally claimed gold in WWE, never having done so before. (Apparently Breeze as Mike Dalton held an FCW title when that was still their developmental, but that really isn’t the same as NXT or WWE.) It’s long past due. They had themselves a tough match against the always good Imperium. Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner seemed to dominate most of the match, making sure the impressive duo looked strong in a loss. But the plucky and talented underdogs wouldn’t go away and eventually won with superkicks from Breeze and a double top rope leg drop from Dango. It’s great to see these guys finally hold some gold after all the work they’ve put in, grinding through lack of creative and injuries in Fandango’s case. It looks like a match with El Legado del Fantasma may be in their future, and knowing NXT’s booking, they will probably be a short lived babyface tag team to help establish a heel duo. That’s not really a compliant. It’s a style I don’t mind. I’m just glad Dango and Breeze are champs right now. Main Event Honestly, the main event, Rhea Ripley & Io Shirai vs. Dakota Kai & Raquel González, was a good match, but the type of match that if it happened anywhere else on the card, I’d probably give it the “All the rest” treatment. But it was the main so we’ll look at it a bit more than that. The ending involved Mercedes Martinez knocking Rhea off the ring apron as revenge from that huge powerbomb last week when the referee was not looking. Ripley recovered enough to get back in ring, but immediately took a big boot and slam from González for the L. They clearly see a lot in Raquel and want to elevate her by having her work with Rhea Ripley. That’s not a bad thing. She’s impressed since taking on the role of Dakota’s heavy. And opening up the women’s division even more is only a good thing. More than a Squash There was a match that looked like it’d just be a squash between Kyle O’Reilly and Drake Maverick that ended up doing a lot in that time. Drake showed some fight, but it was the predictable KOR win you were thinking. But then after the match, Bobby Fish & Roderick Strong attacked Maverick in typical Undisputed fashion. However Kyle didn’t really seem as down with that. He didn’t join in, though he didn’t try to stop them. Maybe he’s going to be the babyface in a potential Adam Cole feud, but personally, I think the roles would be better reversed. Killian Dain made the save, but it was really just to get revenge from when the ERA interrupted Dain’s match with Maverick the other week. This is something NXT does that I always appreciate. A throwaway segment like the one the other week led into a little more of something here. It wasn’t a wasted motion but the subtle start to a program, even if it isn’t going to be a major program. Any hope for a buddy cop pairing of Dain and Maverick were quickly short circuited when Killian attacked Drake afterwards. All the Rest: - Shotzi Blackheart picked up a win over Mia Yim. It wasn’t the scheduled match. Mercedes Martinez was supposed to face Yim, but Shotzi ran over Robert Stone with a tank (it’s what she does) and took her place. Mercedes hadn’t even walked out yet so I guess she didn’t care either way. - Santos Escobar successfully defended his Cruiserweight title against Isaiah “Swerve” Scott by putting on what looked to be a loaded luchador mask and headbutting him. That knocked Swerve out and Escobar took the W. I appreciate the way they went here. It was Santos using the lucha imagery to steal a win, his own way to mold the style to his image after so often discussing remaking lucha libre. - Wade Barrett was very good on commentary this week. Sometimes I forgot he was there, but it’s not always great to notice announcers all the time. When he did speak, it was entertaining and did a good job putting over the action. I look forward to seeing him again next week. This is a weird one because the biggest happenings on this show were all secondary to Karrion Kross’ injury. They did well with what they presented, but it was also obviously ripping up the script of the long term plan the doing something completely different. Still, it was an enjoyable show and next Tuesday should be very fun. |

Qu3sT: his superman role was one of the best things that happen to wrestling...he is also very good on the mic...the wwe is trying to force same role on roman reigns but it is not working...the attitude era is the best in Wwe...not all this comedy show nowadays. |

Kai cross don get balor kind of injury  Hopefully it's not as long as balor's and I have high hopes that NXT will handle him better when he returns than Raw handled Balor when he returned. As for the fatal four way, make Gargano win this title Abeg, I want to see something |

ojaysam25:You say his superman role was the best even as he was the most booed during his run yet you don't want the same booking for roman (yes, Roman is not as charismatic nor as good on the mic as John, but you can't deny the dude had a presence about him). Also there was a lot of stupid booking during the attitude era. |
| Re: Purpl3's WWE (and Pro-wrestling in general) Discussion And Banter House by Qu3sT(m): 7:46pm On Aug 27, 2020 |

Qu3sT:Yea cena was the most polarizing figure in his time same as roman now...but I love the attitude era....randy orton,edge,undertaker,DX,Kane,rock,cm punk....this guys made it memorable for me along side the then face of wwe(John cena)... Nowadays the usos are the only players I can relate with,even randy is no longer vicious as he was during the attitude era... Roman is good maybe I can't get use to another player playing that role except cena...my love for him is out of this world |

WWE Smackdown recap reviews and reactions The show started with Adam Pearce and Vince McMahon. Adam walked into Vince’s office and he said he needed Fiend, Strowman, and Reigns to sign it, and he better not come back without them. So Pearce went out to find them. He started with Bray Wyatt. Bray had a really fun Firefly Funhouse segment, back in the whole room with all his friends. The doorbell rang, and Postman Pearce entered in full mailman gear. He asked Bray to sign the contract since he and the Fiend are technically connected. Bray signed it and really made it creepy for Pearce, who ran right out afterward. Pearce found Reigns’ room and there was no answer at the door. He found Drew Gulak and Gulak was too busy worrying about Strowman and hit him with a chair and ran off. Strowman turned around and demanded a match before signing the contract, which Pearce gave him, and he promptly won. The match didn’t really matter, except that Braun’s new ring gear is bad ass and perfect for his new character. Finally, Pearce got into Reigns’ room and he took his time to sign the contract, which was quite unusual. They cut to the main event and mentioned Pearce and Reigns were still together. When that match was over, we got back into the room and Reigns signed the contract and said he will win the triple threat, wreck everyone and leave and win back his Universal championship he never lost. “And that’s not just a prediction, it’s a spoiler.” He turned to his left and PAUL HEYMAN WAS NEXT TO HIM AND HE SAID BELIEVE THAT AND THEY SMILED AT EACH OTHER! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! Roman Reigns has made me scream HOLY F*** twice in less than a week! I cannot be happier about this pairing. Reigns is now a damn heel as a singles star for the first time since FCW! Hose me down, people. I’m so incredibly ready for this. Roman got new teeth and then got himself a mouthpiece. What a legend. Uno and Dos Bayley and Sasha Banks are going through rough times. The Role Models came up to Heavy Machinery and Big E. Bayley legit said to E “It’s not that you don’t have what it takes to be WWE champion, it’s just that some people can only handle a tag team championship!” Jesus Christ. The look Big E shot Sasha and look of defeat on Sasha’s face was pure gold. They got in the ring and Bayley said they’ve been having a difficult week, but lucky for them they’re the greatest tag champs in the whole world. She said she never should have let her challenge Asuka for the title, but she saw how she looked at her and wanted to join in the fun. As her best friend she should have known she’s never successfully defended the Raw title. (Clever!) Sasha said that they can’t lose on Sunday and she might not be Two Belts Banks anymore, but she knows exactly who she is and what she stands for, and lucky for Bayley, she’s still her best friend. Suddenly Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax popped up on the tron, and they said they hate each other but are willing to team with anyone for the tag titles. Sasha said they’re going to win. End segment. That was the low part of this whole thing, because give me more of the shade between Bayley and Sasha. It is just so sweet and I missed this. I highly recommend their documentary on the Network talking about leading up to TakeOver Brooklyn. It’s fantastic and continues to prove why these two women are one of the best at this pro wrestling thing. They are natural storytellers. And yes, they are definitely losing on Sunday. The Rest Jeff Hardy def. Shinsuke Nakamura / Sami Zayn is back! - Hardy came out and said that he’s tickled pink to be standing in the ring with the Intercontinental title and he issued an open challenge. AJ Styles interrupted and said that Jeff seems pretty proud of himself after what he did last week. He’s not a hero, he’s much more than that. He’s a liar and a cheat. He whined and cried to the doctor to get the knee brace to his advantage and got the doctor to not clear him to compete. You know, I didn’t necessarily disagree with AJ here. While yes, Jeff didn’t go “whine and cry” to get an illegal object in the match, Jeff did technically win because of it. Shinsuke Nakamura answered the open challenge. Hardy continued to sell his knee injury during this bout, and Nakamura attacked it a couple of times. Nak hit a really great knee strike to Hardy and gout him tangled up in a corner. Hardy deliberately threw Nak into Styles on commentary. Hardy used the knee brace again and hit the Twist of Fate for the win! Once again, the babyface took advantage of having an object that could do more damage. Interesting. Jeff went up the ramp and SAMI ZAYN’S MUSIC YAY! He came out with his own Intercontinental title and said that the champ is back and he never lost it. He attacked Jeff with a Helluva kick and goodness gracious I am elated to see him back. Looks like we may see another triple threat match in the very near future! Sami ran into Shinsuke and Cesaro backstage and tried being all buddy buddy with them, but they weren’t really into it. They said he dropped off the face of the Earth and never contacted him. They asked him to leave as they were having a private conversation. Artists no more? Alexa Bliss returns - Nikki Cross was approached by Tamina Snuka and she asked if she’s seen Alexa, who then popped into the shot. Alexa was sporting her twin pigtails from pre-BlissCross Applesauce, with a new addition - one strand of braided hair. Hmmm. Nikki said she doesn’t like that because it reminds her of the Fiend, and Alexa’s face twisted into anger. Alexa said she thought they were best friends, and then smashed the mug that Nikki got from her as a gift that she was holding and stormed off. So it looks like the Fiend angle hasn’t been dropped! I think? My belief is that mentioning the Fiend may very well be the sign that that angle is continuing, because when Bryan, Miz, and Balor changed, the Fiend wasn’t mentioned again. Cesaro def. Kalisto - This whole thing is more about Lucha House Party and their dissension. Before the match, Kalisto told Lince Dorado he was going to show them how it’s done, and told them not to come out during the match. Kalisto left and Nak and Cesaro attacked Lince and Metalik. So Cesaro had the match with Kalisto and naturally, the two men ran down and attacked Nak on the outside and that disruption led to Cesaro winning. Kalisto and Lince got into it and looked like they were about to fight, but then they all hugged. Clearly this is leading to a break up, and I guess that’s fine? I liked all three men together, but I think after two or so years, this act has run its course. Heel Kalisto going for the Intercontinental title later this year would be fun. I don’t know what to do with Lince and Metalik except exactly what they’ve been doing for a while, though. Matt Riddle def. Chad Gable - This was too quick but Gable was so great, using the dragon screw and a smooth bridged suplex, but Riddle hit the Bro Derek (I still can’t believe that’s an actual finisher name) for the win. Corbin tried to attack after the match but Riddle got the better of him, and I’m starting to feel bad for Gable again because they just need to do better with him. Big E and Heavy Machinery def. Sheamus, Miz, and Morrison - Otis and Big E somewhere down the line could be a really fun team up. Sheamus got into it with Miz and Morrison after Morrison accidentally hit him off the apron and he walked off. Big E and Miz finally locked up and Morrison prevented Big E from getting the pin, but Otis Caterpillared him, Miz did the Skull Crushing finale to Otis, and Big E won with the Big Ending. This Sunday is Payback and I think that this is the first time WWE has ever done two pay-per-views back to back like this. Most of the matches are intriguing at least, with the obvious most intriguing now being this triple threat for the Universal title. I am just so incredibly excited for this new path with Roman. |
