WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS It’s a Party Have you seen Bachelor Party starring Tom Hanks? Yeah, these bachelorette and bachelor parties were nothing like that. For one, that was the 1980s and a completely different world. Two, this is still a family show. And lastly, Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis deserve parties as weird and adorable as their love. It says something about the work NXT put into both of these characters and their relationship where these segments are a highlight of the show. Any wrestler will tell you, especially the older ones, that if you do your job as a character, the crowd will go with anything you do in or outside of the ring. NXT’s last episode of an era gave us an awkward bachelorette party filled with snark, one-liners, and people who weren’t even Indi’s friends. In typical ‘80s rom-com fashion, Indi and Candice LeRae even ducked out of Indi’s party early—how rude—to spy on the bachelor party. While we got silly moments with go karts, axe throwing, moon bounces, and laser tag. it was all building to one moment. For weeks, Indi wanted Johnny Gargano to accept the love of her life. After last week’s cuss show, that looked like a dream deferred. However, after a day of bonding, working together as a team, and Dex helping Daddy Wrestling whenever possible, the two finally exchanged a high-five. Sure, Johnny got bumped into it, but it was a big moment for everyone involved. Indi and Candice came out of “hiding” and the former was overjoyed that her fiancé finally “cracked Johnny’s nut.” Maybe their wedding won’t be a mess next week like almost every other wedding in the history of wrestling weddings. Maybe, just maybe, Johnny is finally ready to let his little girl run away with a man who stalked his way into her heart. I have my suspicions that Johnny is just waiting to explode and make it a day to forget for the blushing bride. I really hope that I’m wrong. MSK, All Night x All Day MSK wanted Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan. The NXT Tag Team Champions are on a mission for respect, and they’re taking on any and everyone to get it. Lorcan and Burch wanted back what they felt was rightfully theirs. Like the women’s tag title match, this match was a clash in styles. Lorcan and Burch had the early advantage exerting raw power over the champs. Seriously, these are big cats and MSK just can’t compete in that department. Nash Carter was lost in the early onslaught of submissions, dropkicks, uppercuts, and suplexes. In fact, Carter took the brunt of the beating during the main event, as it became clear we were seeing a story of a team outmatched in size but not in heart. The highlight of the match came when Carter went to the top rope one too many times and caught a couple knees in his back on the way down. Lorcan slapped an ankelock on him in the middle of the ring, while Burch put Lee in a crossface just as Lee went to save his partner. This was it, right? Carter was a prime target the entire match and there was no way to save him. Not so fast. Carter found a way to not only break the hold, but fling Lorcan with just enough force to breakup the crossface and save his partner. It’s the little things, ya know? In the end, Lorcan and Burch just didn’t have the will, and MSK scored the pinfall with their trademark tandem offense. At what point do the champs stop fighting for respect? I’m not sure, but after every victory, we’re told to “put respect on MSK’s name.” Who doesn’t respect these cats at this point? I like the story of their reign but it needs to find another gear after successive victories over big, bad opponents Speaking of which, Pete Dunne and the man with the best hat in the business, Ridge Holland, were none too pleased about this defeat. They added insult to injury and issued Lorcan and Burch their walking papers in the form of a beatdown. One feud ends, another begins, as Dunne and Holland clearly see those two as the weak links in the chain. Bad Friends, Great Partners Can a relationship of convenience topple an actual friendship? That’s the main question going into the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Kacy Catanzaro x Kayden Carter are friends to the end. They even went to Indi’s bachelorette party together! Io Sharai x Zoey Stark? Yeah, they’re clearly just business partners, despite how much Zoey wants that to change. Zoey and Io need to not only defend their titles, but prove their business arrangement has long-term potential. Meanwhile the challengers, after months of hard work and demanding it, have to prove they’re truly read to say, “The champs are here!” I guess friendship is overrated. There’s one moment that crystalizes this match: Zoey inadvertently bumps her partner off of the ring apron. At that moment, Kayden has the momentum! She pulls a reverse STO out of her bag of tricks, and has the match won. That’s it. That’s over. Goodnight, everybody! But about 9 minutes into the match she craved, Kayden hesitates. The CWC is screaming for her to pin Zoey and win the gold. But she can’t do it without her best friend. She finally gets up after wasting all of that time, tags Kacy, and they hit a tag team electric chair from the top rope. Match is over, right? Nope. Io gathered herself during all that wasted time, broke up the pin attempt, and effectively stole the momentum back from the challengers. Zoey tags in Io, who hits a gorgeous moonsault from the top rope, and the champs retain. Gotta feel bad for the Kacy and Kayden. And I really do! They had the gold in their hands but showed they just weren’t ready to win. It’s a cliche sports term, but that doesn’t make it any less true. No matter how great of a team they are or how great of a friendship they have, it’s nothing compared to the experience of the champs, particularly Io Sharai. To make matters worse, Kacy and Kayden got jumped by Batman disguised as Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne. I figured they’d go after Sarray for “disfiguring” Mandy, but Gigi and Jacy didn’t forget getting embarrassed by these two a couple weeks ago. Who knows what’s next for the tag champs, but NXT’s resident social media queens have their hands full with violence. Bad Moon Rising Last week, Kay Lee Ray baited Ember Moon into a match. Ray said the former NXT Woman’s champ was a thing of the past and Ray is the future. Like any competitor in any sport, the idea of someone calling you a has been got under Ember’s skin and she issued a challenge. Again, exactly what Kay wanted. The two engaged in a scientific brawl, targeting body parts and issuing submissions. The type of thing you do when you want to humiliate your opponent and make them cry auntie. Ember wanted to prove she’s still the competitor she says she is, while Kay wanted to knock off a legend and prove she belongs. Neither wanted to submit, neither wanted to give in to a 3-count. Ember, even after getting her shoulder dissected for most of the match, refused to tap and give Kay the satisfaction. In the end, it was Ember’s frustration got the best of her. She put Ray in an over-the-shoulder Michinoku Driver but even after suffering a move that looks like it hurts a whole damn lot, Ray refused to stay down. Ember lost focus for one moment to let out a yell of anguish, providing an Kay an opening to drop a KLR Bomb. 1-2-3. Great opening match with a lot of pride on the line, and a lot to gain or lose for both women. Kay Lee Ray moves forward with a huge notch in her belt, while Ember is now a bit of adrift. Her tag partner is gone, she’s on a serious losing streak, and as she said, something has to change. I like it. Quick follow-up on a story the commentators were telling, and gives us something else to look forward to during next week’s “rebrand.” The winner and loser of a match need to have a destination post-match. NXT accomplished that multiple times tonight, and props to them for doing so. The rest Fatal Four Way Explainers LA Knight, Kyle O’Reilly, Pete Dunne, and Tommaso Ciampa will duke it out next week in a Fatal 4-Way to determine the numero uno contender for the NXT Championship. Knight, O’Reilly, and Ciampa cut promos detailing their motivations, with O’Reilly’s being the best of the bunch for my money. We get a this next week and a wedding? I don’t know which to be more excited for. Escobar Season has Returned This was a case of finding the right outcome that didn’t hurt either man and NXT did that. Carmelo Hayes showed he can hang with Santos Escobar but like me in math class, the numbers weren’t in his favor. Legado del Fantasma interfered and shenanigans ensued. Escobar gets the W he needs, Hayes looks good in defeat since the bad guys cheated, and Elektra Lopez showed her worth and sheer power. Hit Row with a Attitude This was simple. Hit Row wants revenge on Legado del Fantasma for what happened last week. NXT is obviously saving something for next week since it makes all the sense in the world for them to get their revenge on this episode. Each member spoke their peace, with B-FAB letting Elektra Lopez know she started something she won’t get a chance to finish. A hard head does indeed make for a soft ass. As much as I’m enjoying this feud, it feels like it’s stuck. Hopefully Ms. Lopez changes things and this means a match between her and B-FAB is in the near future. Grand Opening Grand Closing Chuckie Viola & Paxton Averill got fed to the Diamond Mine’s newest members, the Creed Brothers. Brutus and Julius ended the match before the commentators broke a sweat calling it. That Was Quick Mei Ying wanted to send a message to Boa. Taking out Virginia Ferry (I get it!), the poor woman who didn’t even get an entrance, in dominating fashion is a way to do it. This is the end, but maybe not entirely. NXT will look different next week but it will probably feel the same in its attention to detail and character development. As long as that doesn’t change, there’s nothing to fear. Right? Next week we get a wedding, a Fatal 4-Way, and an NXT Women’s title match between Raquel González and Franky Monet. Oh, and a lot of bright colors. Grade: A |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Turmoil is Putting it Mildly Before we even get into this, props to Xavier Woods for getting a “phrasing” in during the New Day’s opening promo. Any Archer reference just makes the world a better place. Anyway, Tag Team Turmoil always hits a sweet spot for me. They’re fun, showcase a lot of talent, and normally tell one overarching story with multiple smaller stories playing in the background. Tonight’s version was no exception. RK-Bro needed new challengers, and seven teams answered the call. Including the New Day. The main story was New Day’s greatness. Well, actually, it was their refusal to quit and how much punishment they were willing to sustain for a title shot. Everything was going pretty well until the team of Mace and T-Bar, WWE’s version of “fetch,” showed they’re the sorest losers in history. They decimated Woods and Kofi, along with Mustafa Ali and Mansoor as they made their way to the ring. Riddle, sitting ringside with Randy Orton, wanted to help the New Day. But Randy held him back. It was a subtle moment of character development and illustrates Randy’s goal to teach Riddle a thing or two. After Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville—the worst management team ever—stepped in to stop the carnage, they decreed that not only would Tag Team Turmoil continue later in the show, but The Almighty WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and the less-mighty MVP would compete as well. At that point, I saw the writing on the wall in bright neon. When Tag Team Turmoil continued, Xavier and Kofi just couldn’t compete against AJ Styles and Omos. Impossible. How could they? Besides the wear and tear from killing it earlier, there was also the wear and tear from almost getting killed earlier. Plus, last week’s episode told us Styles, Omos, MVP, and Bobby Lashley were going to tango. We switched from a story of the New Day’s perseverance to putting the focus squarely back on Lashley and Randy. Bobby and MVP got a hero’s welcome in MVP’s hometown, and with the crowd firmly on their side, they defeated AJ and Omos to earn a tag team title match next week. But wait, there’s more! Post-match, with MVP out for the count, Lashley got a jackknife chokeslam powerbomb from Styles’ personal colossus, and an RKO because Randy is Randy. Now we have an enraged WWE Champion—a self admitted greedy bastard—with an opportunity for more gold next week. Anything with RK-Bro is a great look at this point, so I’m down. This is a simple story of two guys who don’t like each other in Randy and Bobby, and they both want what the other has. Whether their respective partnerships are tested is another issue entirely, but maybe there’s no need to complicate it. Lashley took a beating after getting a chance to get tag gold around his waist. More importantly, he was embarrassed. Next week, we find out what the consequences of those actions are and how much blood gets spilt as a result. We Have a New Old Challenger Someone make this make sense. Damian Priest defeated Drew McIntyre and Sheamus last week in a match that hit harder than cooked food after an intense workout. No shenanigans either; he pinned Drew O’Mac in the ring. Now, those same two cats are going one-on-one for the right to face the same guy who beat them last week? WWE gave us a match they gave us before on multiple occasions, to pave the way a different version of the same match we got last week? These two actually got rewarded for losing? Meh. It’s uncreative, lazy, and a waste of all that talent in the back. Rather than using this opportunity to catapult someone else and put them in a feud with Priest, we’re getting...the guy Damian beat for the title at SummerSlam. But it was a good match! McIntyre and Sheamus don’t put on clunkers. It continued the night’s theme of pain tolerance and how much punishment is one willing to go through to get the W. These two even used each other’s signature moves to no avail. Sheamus and Drew no each other so well, someone needed to do something out of the ordinary to win. That person was Sheamus, who got the win with the aide of a hand full of tights after about 20 minutes. But this whole review thing isn’t just about the match; it’s about the larger story. Not only does it not make sense, it’s a rerun. And I’m not a fan of reruns, especially when there are more interesting options at catering. Sheamus now gets his second rematch for the United States Championship at Extreme Rules. Good for him. Anything You Can Do, I Can Do...Almost As Good WWE struck gold with RK-Bro. It was only a matter of time before someone said, “Hey, let’s do that again, just not as great!” We now have two odd couple tag teams on the same show, playing the exact same roles, and the tag team champs for their respective divisions. Rhea Ripley steps into the Randy Orton role as someone begrudgingly along for the ride, while Nikki A.S.H. is almost too sweet for her own good as Riddle. And since she’s almost a superhero, she can get just as high as him, too. Of course, Nikki and Rhea are missing the months of storytelling and character development we got with Randy and Riddle. It’s like a secondary school student who didn’t read the textbooks, And copied the assignments instead, only to fail the test because they prepped for multiple choice instead of essays. The match didn’t really matter since it was a quickie that served to coronate the latest odd couple, Super Brutality. It’s just weird how unoriginal this company is at times. Even to the point where Corey Graves mentioned on-air that Super Brutality is RK-Bro redux. Just because WWE acknowledges the elephant in the room doesn’t make it any less of an elephant. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! The most interesting happening last week was Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair doing a staged fight until an actual one almost broke out. That gave way to tonight’s rematch, but with the added juice of the Raw Women’s Championship on the line. It started hot with a worked shoot, clearly leaning into what happened last week. They fake beat the snot out of each other, resulting in Charlotte threatening to walk out of the match, even telling Nia to “suck it” several times. I chuckled heartily. This was less about Charlotte and Nia and more about Shayna Baszler and Nia. Shayna, with all of her chest, said her “friend” would choke. Shayna interfered twice in the match. The first time, she almost clotheslined her partner. Accident? Sure. But the second time? When she got on the ring apron and distracted Nia from taking the momentum during the match? Completely on purpose. Charlotte hit her distracted opponent with Natural Selection from the top rope and the ref counted three. The match didn’t last long but I liked the physicality. I’m not sure if Charlotte and Nia have any chemistry but they clearly like beating the hell out of each other. But like I said, it really didn’t matter. Nia and Shayna need to handle whatever beef is between them, while Charlotte now finds herself in the gaze of Alexa Bliss and Lilly. Alexa wants Charlotte’s title, which means we can all look forward to WWE announcing the first doll to ever hold a WWE Championship. You know why? Because Chucky starts next month. If you think WWE and USA’s parent company won’t engage in brand cross-promotion to uphold the sanctity of a title, then you clearly just woke up from a very long coma. Welcome to 2021! We have so much to talk about. The rest Is the drip stick not a foreign object? John Morrison x Karrion Kross squared off because the latter insulted the former during what looked like a pre-recorded “Moist TV.” Early on, in front of the ref, mind you, Johnny sprayed Kross with the drip stick. No bell. No nothing. Kross got the win as the water in the face just pissed him off. Reggie and Akira Tozawa kinda sorta fought for the 24/7 championship. Reggie won—duh—and out came the rest of the men’s roster. Including a few who should holla at Damian Priest for a U.S. championship shot. Drake Maverick, fresh off the ass whooping on last Tuesday, made a surprise appearance and just stared. I don’t care. Doudrop challenged Eva Marie to a match next week. She also declared this is the beginning of the Doudrop-elution. It doesn’t roll off the tongue, but I’ll allow it. No ifs and or buts about it, this was episode of Monday Night Raw was not very good. Tag Team Turmoil served its purpose and bookended three very long hours of television. We got repetitive stories told haphazardly, and set ups for a few things that aren’t interesting. Raw still struggles giving a reason to care or make matches truly matter. Better luck next week? Here’s hoping. Grade: D+ |
