WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Carry On Tradition NXT used its history this week as part of the hype for Worlds Collide. Ciampa, Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, Shayna Baszler, Gunther, Alba Fyre, and even Pete Dunne. The former champs of their respective belts all spoke to the current champions about legacy, history, pressure, and everything on the line at Worlds Collide. I’m two minds of how this played out, so walk with me through what worked and what didn't. Seeing these former champs certainly underlined the importance of the match. It also raised the stakes in a way commentary just can’t do. And that’s no diss to Vic or Wade either. Some things just sound better when spoken as a result of experience. Their words also reminded everyone of the finality of Worlds Collide. NXT UK is going away. A few of these current championship reigns are on the clock. What we currently know as NXT is changing right before our eyes, so yeah, this is serious business. The interactions worked better with established connections. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Alba Fyre and Meiko Satomura. Pete Dunne and Gunther. And, last but not least, Ciampa and Bron Breakker. Speaking of Ciampa, gotta love how NXT transforms wrestlers back into their previous gimmicks the minute they walk through its doors. Miz who? Anyway, those connected on different levels, thus making them feel like integral storytelling tools rather than perfunctory tricks of the trade. Which is probably why Finn and Bron didn’t work, and neither did the combination of Shayna and Mandy Rose. Oh, and let’s not even get into Rhea and Blair Davenport. Those appearances on the the other side of the spectrum, as they lacked depth and meaning. They pop the crowd and scratch that nostalgic itch for the old NXT, but that’s really the only purpose. As opposed to the other appearances that scratched that itch and meant something to the wrestlers involved and the audience because we know their shared history. I love WWE embracing its history like this. Former champs expressing their respect for championship belts shows those titles are bigger than the feuds or even whatever former beef the combatants might have. It’s a different build towards a title match and sets Worlds Collide apart as a singular event. Those are all very good things. Maybe I’m an easy get but the most of the cameos got me more excited for the unification matches and reinforced that I have no idea who is leaving the event with titles in their hands. Extracurriculars Finger Poke of Doom Grayson Waller defeated Apollo Crews. Normally I’m against such shenanigans but I’m okay with it now. Why? Because Waller cheated, which gives Apollo an out and cause for a rematch. Plus? It’s another example of heels acting like heels, which I’m always about. This was a pretty good match too because Waller keeps getting better and Apollo is Apollo. Waller poked Apollo in the eyes twice. Once in the first act and again for the finish. The first time threw Apollo off his game for a while and the second happened so quickly, you might miss it unless you’re paying attention. These two aren’t finished but I’m curious how Apollo finds a way around Waller’s deviousness. Here Comes a New Challenger This was a weird tag title defense for Katana Chance and Katana Carter. They defeated Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley, but mostly due to Toxic Attraction’s interference. They barely even got into their match before Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne got involved. The story is there though: They missed their chance at the other tag championships, so they don’t want anyone to have anything they don’t. Doudrop x Nikki A.S.H. showed up once Carter x Chance told the world they have no one left to beat. The women’s team from Raw challenged NXT’s tag champs to a match at Worlds Collide, finally giving them something to do and someone new to fight. I like that for them. Denzel, John Lithgow, and Ice-T Ricochet is back! Well, for at least one event. Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams hit the ring before the night ended. The A Champ was incensed at his absence from Worlds Collide. So much so that he dropped the line of the night: “I broke a rebel heart. This ain’t a dream and you can’t swerve me.” Beautiful. After declaring he will not defend his title at the event—that’ll show ‘em, Melo—Ricochet’s music hit. Mr. O’Shea explained Worlds Collide can have more than one meaning and the event needs some blue brand. They exchanged barbs for a bit, with Melo clearly in shock. So yeah, we’re getting a match between these two at Worlds Collde that will definitely bring down the house. Roderick Sucks I’m on record saying this story with Roderick Strong and the Diamond Mine needs to end. He cost the Creed Bros. and Damon Kemp yet another match this week. This time against Gallus when he stupidly ran to the ring with cell phone proof to exonerate himself of wrongdoing and that he’s not a liar. Kemp was distracted, the Brothers Creed were confused, and Gallus got the W. Before Roddy’s foolishness, this was the best match of the night. I want more of these three because it’s just physical. The Diamonds in the Rough are filled with mat wrestlers but they’re bruisers as well. They can fight with the best of them and match Gallus blow for blow and intensity. When the match ended, the locker room emptied into the ring because, you know, worlds actually collide. Le Sigh You know what I don’t like though? This Joe Gacy/Cameron Grimes feud. And the crowd agrees with me because they dropped plenty of F-bombs during this segment with Schism and Grimes. The plus side is Grimes finally told Gacy he’s not joining Schism, which means a fight is coming. Which means this thing is mercifully almost over. Godspeed to everyone suffering as much as I am. Pretty Legendary Gallus wants Briggs & Jensen so bad they can taste it. The British trio interfered in the NXT UK tag champs’ trios match against Pretty Deadly and Lash Legend. Even with Fallon “Yee Haw, Bitch” Henley by their side, it wasn’t enough to stop Gallus from swaying the match’s direction. That’s why Pretty Legendar (Good one, Barrett) got the W. This wasn’t the best match for these teams as it was clear serving World’s Collide was the bigger purpose. Honestly? I’m more interested in a Paxley and Legend feud though. Whenever those two get their hands on each other, it feels like a real fight between two people who don’t like each other. Chase the Dragon Whenever Andre Chase gets time, he produces pretty good matches. He and Charlie Dempsey got some time this week and they delivered. Chase is always interesting in the ring, and, like Stella said, you gotta respect a man who wrestles in a sweater. Chase got the W here after Dempsey found himself distracted by Bodhi Heyward. As always in wrestling, taking one’s eye off the prize often leads to a terrible demise. Overshadowed So Zoey Stark, fresh off a championship match loss to Mandy Rose, took her frustrations out on Kiana James. Outside of kayfabe, James wrestling Stark is good for her because it will only raise her game and make her look better. As it relates to kayfabe, James keeps writing checks she cannot cash in the ring. Last week it was Nikkita Lyons. This week it’s Zoey Stark. Zoey got the W, which serves as a bounce back, but the true moment of the match came when Lyons showed up for her revenge on James. What does that say about Zoey? What’s her role now? That’s the weird thing about NXT having one singles belt for the women. Not everyone has a big match to fall into after losing a title match like Wendy Choo with Tiffany Stratton. Lyons’ appearance overshadowed Zoey’s win while underlining the fact Zoey is a woman without a country at the moment. The match was okay but yeah, the ending was the intrigue. This was a solid outing. It did its main job which is prime the pump for Worlds Collide. Nothing more nothing less. Grade: B |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Not One Cap to be Found A fan in Pittsburgh held a sign high that read “Rhea is My Papi.” Dominik Mysterio clearly agrees because when put in a position to swing on Ripley with a kendo stick, he hesitated. Actually, he did more than hesitate; he handed Rhea his weapon! This is the match the crowd wants to see and the mind wanders if a payoff is coming. And if it is, how does it look? WWE is extending a lot of storytelling capital on this soap opera between Dom and his real daddy. Even Rey Mysterio is confused by his son’s behavior. But how did we get here? Well, if you missed the show, indulge me for a bit. Raw’s first half hour was all about the Judgment Day. Damian Priest x Finn Balor tag teamed against AJ Styles x Dolph Ziggler. And they won! The match wasn’t the finest hour for either man. We got a few miscues and some awkward transitions, to say nothing of the fact it just wasn’t a compelling match. That said, the right team won. Establishing Judgment Day’s dominance is paramount as this thing with Edge continues, especially with Damian taking the L last week. The win was even more important since Edge pulled up to Raw in the G Wagon as soon as their match ended. Finn and Damian railed against Rey, Edge, and everything WWE legends presumably take from them. Now awful arguments although it’s hard hearing it when Finn says with a straight face he deserves an A&E special. He’s a heel though, so that’s okay. Edge showed up and the conversation revolved around Beth Phoenix’s badassdom, the number of pants wearers in the Copeland household, and the fact Rhea, Damian, and Finn learned nothing from him. Of course he didn’t show up alone, which is when the Mysterios jumped the Judgment Day with kendo sticks in hand. And now you’re caught up to the beginning of this tale. The audience wants Dom to go all in on a kendo stick attack against Rhea. We all do. Maybe something will come of it at Clash at the Castle when Edge x Rey team against Judgment Day with Dom in his dad’s corner, albeit reluctantly. Dom thought this beef with Judgment Day and the ensuing match was a family affair. Rey, continuing this theme that legends are taking chances away from the young cats, says he wants Edge’s experience. If I were a betting man, the smart money goes on Dom turning on his dad in Wales, then walking into the arms of his new papi, Rhea. Extracurriculars Matt Riddle and Seth Get Nasty Two big things here: Riddle is now Matt again, and the best moments of the interview he and Seth did with Corey Graves came “when the cameras were off.” It was great because it felt completely real. Don’t take my word for it tho. Watch for yourself. Your Winner...and NEW... Raquel Rodriquez x Aliyah are your new Women’s tag champs. The Bougie Badass team defeated Kai-N-SKY which surprised me. There was nothing terribly wrong about the matchl, even though it started a bit shaky with Aliyah but picked up when it became Raquel vs. the world. But it’s Dakota and IYO taking the L here right before their big match in Wales doesn’t sit well. Their group’s whole thing is dominating and controlling the Women’s division. They even said it before the match. Watching them not only lose to a team with less experience but get outsmarted in the process makes them look like chumps. Not exactly the best look for them going into a match with two former champions and the current champ. And, they basically loss to one woman. Just a weird booking choice for Bayley’s group to fall for the banana in the tailpipe at this moment, even if there are bigger plans for Raquel down the line. Blood isn’t Thicker... It was only a matter of time until Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens crossed paths. Sami is the honorary Uce, he’s getting in really good with Roman, and is even close with Jimmy Uso! Those two even have their own handshake, which proceeded the moment of the night for me when Sami said “bet” the way I say bet although he has no idea what it means . Love it. But I digress. The Usos and Sami showed up this week to gas Roman and his accomplishments. Kevin Owens showed up with another message for their boss, which resulted in a lot of awkwardness between Kevin and Sami. Yes, Kevin is Sami’s boy, Jey Uso. Because of that, KO had harsh words for his best friend. He wants more for him and thinks he’s doing a disservice to himself following the Bloodline. Of course he’s right. We all know that, but it’s good for someone with this much history with Sami to keep it real. KO and Jey didn't back down from one another, so we got a great impromptu match between the two. This keeps the thread of KO just walking into fights going and I like that a lot. It does wonders for his character and the matches don’t disappoint. The pivotal moment in a match that pushed both men to their limits came when Jey demanded Sami blast his best friend with a chair. Jey wanted to win but also wanted to test Sami’s loyalty. Jimmy distracted the ref and Sami, with chair in hand, hesitated. Through all the chaos, KO go the win and while Sami entrenched himself between that rock and the proverbial hard place. KO wants Roman. Sami wants to protect Roman. But Sami is KO’s best friend and knows there’s a lot of truth to everything KO said about Sami forgetting how dope he is and risking it all to be in with a group of people who treat him like crap. Does he ride with his best friend or keep doing enough in hopes the Bloodline fully adopts him into the fold? Miz Ain’t No Snitch There’s some intrigue with this story involving Dexter Lumis and the Miz. Miz refuses to talk about what happened during his kidnapping. In fact, he refuses to tell anyone why he’s no longer kidnapped. Historically, WWE isn’t great at following up on this type of story. People just reappear. But whatever. Point is, Miz doesn’t want to talk about anything. Lumis is no longer in police custody as a result of his vow of silence, since he refused to press charges. Miz, clearly shook, believed he saw Dexter around every corner. During his match with Bobby Lashley, he clearly lacked focus. Lashley dominated early and we got some nice storytelling through Ciampa acting as the eyes in the back of Miz’s head. That gave Miz a second wind that lasted right up to the point he—and we—saw Dexter looming in the stands. And that was that. Lashley took advantage of a scared Miz, slapped on the Hurt Lock, and went home still the United States champion. I really wonder where this is going with Miz and Dexter, and, more importantly, how Ciampa plays into this. This was my second favorite moment in the show this week because Miz sells everything and Lumis is...well, have you seen him? The button to this was a very creepy moment with Dexter showing up in the back of Miz’s truck as the man with massive balls drove off into the moonlight. Job Squad Bianca Belair, Asuka, & Alexa Bliss took on Dani Mo, Katie Arquette, & Kayla Sparks in a “warmup” for their match at Clash. I’m with Graves on this one: It’s not much of a warmup in terms of comparable talent. So was it just for momentum? Yes, but I argue they didn’t need any since they already have plenty. Meh Kurt Angle: Not an Indentured Servant We got a fun match between The Street Profits and the Alpha Academy. The stakes? Kurt Angle’s allegiance. If the Profits lost, Angle would become a member of the Academy learning under “Master Gable.” This wasn’t about furthering any storyline, just a nice moment for Angle in front of his hometown crowd. And he shared some celebratory milk with the Profits after he realized that drank in the solo cups is way too strong. Oh, and before we finish here, let’s talk about Angelo Dawkins. Dude shoulder tackled OTIS across the commentary table. That’s serious power and another sign Angelo is truly stepping up in the wake of all this talk about Montez going solo. Theory of Wrestling We followed up Johnny Gargano’s return with a taped segment between he and his former son, Theory. Theory, in complete heel fashion, disregards the fact Johnny became a father and wonders why he never heard from his “friend” while he racked up accolades. Johnny is proud of Theory even if he wished Theory took a different route to get to the top. It was cool, but definitely needs some breathing room to tell a story on the level of the old NXT of which these two were a part. There wasn’t a lot of momentum towards Clash at the Castle this week. Which is surprising seeing as how the event is, ya know, in a few days. It wasn’t an awful show but it did feel considerably less inspiring than previous weeks. Not a terrible show but just flat and not up to the bar previously set. Grade: B- |
