WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions The main event this week was a tag match, in a show jam packed with them, featuring the former enemies Finn Bálor & Kyle O’Reilly facing the tag team champions of Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch in a non-title match. The match itself was good, though it was easy to be tired of tag team matches given there were so many. Finn Bálor played the face in peril with the heels working his arm, and O’Reilly was the hot tag who won decisively with a submission. After the match, Pete Dunne showed up to employ a handicap beat down of the victors before Adam Cole and Roderick Strong ran the Kings of NXT off. All in all, this angle is spinning its wheels. Kyle and Finn had an entertaining feud against each other, but there’s little spark in this story of them playing reluctant allies against Pete Dunne and the tag champs. In general, NXT has been missing a spark, and much of the issue is there’s nothing hot going on with the main titles. (The women’s title still doesn’t have clear direction, only starting to unveil that after weeks.) I do give them props for making the act of Finn Bálor literally stepping back to stand shoulder to shoulder with the ERA feel like a very important moment, but that wasn’t enough to make this feel main event worthy. This story needs a spark to make it feel deserving of a top spot on a card with TakeOver only a couple weeks away. Friendship Goals Raquel González and Dakota Kai predictably defeated Jessi Kamea and Aliyah to advance in the Dusty. There isn’t much to say about the match. Dakota did much of the work, but González took care of business in the end. It wasn’t anything spectacular but did what it set out to do: Remind us that González is dominant. However, what I appreciate the most is the evolving relationship between Dakota Kai and Raquel González. Raquel debuted as Dakota’s bodyguard last year. She was clearly working for Kai, with the focus being advancing Kai’s career. Then Raquel started to breakout on her own, and instead of dropping the team or feuding, the dynamic shifted. Dakota was more than happy to try to play the role of support for the ascending González. She even got closed into a locker for her aid during Raquel’s Last Woman Standing match against Rhea Ripley. And now they’re functioning as a team, both working to that common goal. They may be bad gals, but I dig this friendship. Elevation The opening bout in the night of tags featured MSK taking on Drake Maverick & Killian Dain. One thing I have in general appreciated about the Dusty Classic is how they use it to elevate tag teams to a more serious status. Dain and Drake were a ful on comedy bit when they started off. With time and now a spot in the Dusty, they were featured as more of a respectable tag team. They DNA of the team is still there: Dain is the threat and Maverick is the ‘weak link.’ But this week, Drake held his own. He wasn’t the liability as he had played in the past. That’s important if they want this team to be more than just a comedy act. (Which to be fair, if that’s what NXT wants, that’s a good role for them.) The team still doesn’t feel like a cohesive unit. There’s still a feel of two guys who are in a tag team match together as opposed to a duo actually working together. It’s part of who they are, though hopefully they evolve into more of a team. On the other side of the ring, MSK are very exciting. I have some experience watching them as the Rascalz in Impact, but I’m many months removed from watching Impact so I don’t know the caliber of work when they left. That said, they feel more special here. They’re unique in style and personality. I was excited for this match because of them this week and I’m excited to see what they do next round. Superb Underdog My favorite match of the night was the Dusty quarterfinal bout where the Grizzled Young Veterans defeating Kushida and Leon Ruff. It was the only Dusty match of the night that really felt like the finish wasn’t the foregone conclusion. Yes, GYV were the favorites. But Ruff and Kushida picked up a big first round win. This match accomplished the task of getting me to a point that I really wanted the underdog team to win. Leon Ruff just does a fantastic job working a match as a sympathetic character. His personality makes it so easy to root for him. Meanwhile, the GYV aren’t flashy, but their style allows you to easily root against them. Then it’s all the more disappointing when they win. After the match. Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory attacked Ruff & Kushy, revenge for their loss to them last week. They were eventually scared off by Dexter Lumis, who has issues with the Way as well given he lost a North American title match in a less than clean manner. Who’s next? It looks like Io Shirai may have to defend her title in a triple threat match. Toni Storm called out the champ, but after Shirai answered, Mercedes Martinez inserted herself into all of this. With Storm and Martinez not on the same page despite being a one and done tag team, there’s enough here to go with the triple threat. Honestly, a triple threat makes sense. There are so many women deserving of a title match, running a program with two of them at once helps move the line along. And if there’s a person they want for a singles match with the champ down the line, they don’t take the pin. It’s not official, but it’s our best guess of what’s next for the champion. All the Rest: - Bronson Reed went over Isaiah “Swerve” Scott. It’s clear they’re building up Reed big time. I question doing it at the expense of Swerve, who hasn’t won anything of significance at all in his time in NXT. I think a win to split a series with Jake Atlas (who also never wins) was his biggest achievement. They need to find a program for Scott he can walk out victorious. - Curt Stallion was supposed to have a cruiserweight title match this week. But he was attacked prior so it was push until next week. William Regal figures El Legado del Fantasma are the culprits, and while he’s probably right, Karrion Kross leaving a calling card on Santos Escobar’s bag makes me wonder if he’s the real attacker. I don’t see what his motive would be though. - Malcolm Bivens scheduled Tyler Rust a cupcake match up to pick up an easy week after Rust tried to do his own business last week and booked himself in a match with Bronson Reed. Rust won so Malcolm is earning is money. With the abundance of tag matches and lack of any real hot angles, this show felt like it dragged on. Nothing was outwardly bad. Each segment would have worked well on a show that had some hot angles. But this felt like a bunch of supplemental stories strung together, leaving this to feel like a duller episode of NXT. 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE Raw Reviews recaps and reactions Sometimes it feels like every Raw creative meeting goes like this: “Okay, which 10 superstars are we going to have wrestle each other in a combination of 3 or 4 different matches throughout this 3 hour show?” What are you doing, WWE? All these restarts and multiple matches with the same people each week. Multiple segments just don’t click for me. Look if you’re enjoying Raw, more power to you my friend. This is not a good show. Magical bait and switch Alexa Bliss recapped Orton’s recap of his recap of the previous week’s events. Recap-ception! She just wanted to have some fun with Asuka last week, but Asuka decided that she didn’t want to play nice. So now she has the opportunity to get herself a shiny new toy. They did it again. Asuka was actually having a great first half, until they went right back to the magical stuff. Asuka was sent to the outside, and then a rocking horse appeared in the ring. Then they came back from break and the rocking horse was gone. No explanation for where it went or what happened during the break. Throughout the match, Alexa was smiling more than showing hurt. Asuka got back into a groove, and then music played and Alexa was back in her old gear crying and she looked like she was in a trance but was able to sidestep Asuka. And the music played again and the lights went out. Alexa turned into goth Alexa again. Asuka tried the Asuka lock but Alexa was able to power out of it and Mandible Clawed Asuka. And then mask-less Orton appeared and RKO’d Alexa. No contest. Show ends. Alright. I should have seen this coming. If you also didn’t see it coming, we’re in the same boat. Hey, where was Charlotte? You know, Asuka’s tag team partner? Why is she just out there all alone? It’s maddening. On top of that, Asuka is once again playing third wheel in someone else’s feud. Uuuuuuugh! WHY?!? They could have just… not booked this match! But what do I know? I’m just a nerd recapping wrestling. This was awful This was a disaster. It started as Charlotte vs. Shayna and that was getting fun until Nia interfered. Disqualification. Then Mandy and Dana came out to help Charlotte and Lacey came out too. They had a six woman tag. Then Shayna missed the count and that match ended in a count out. Restart! … come on, man. Hey, where was Asuka? You know, Charlotte’s tag team partner? Charlotte and Asuka are the tag team champions. If commentary didn’t occasionally remind us, we’d never know. Seriously. Charlotte was involved in a two on one situation and a six woman tag AND a restart of the six woman tag, and not one time did Asuka make an appearance. So does Asuka not care about her supposed friend and tag team partner? She’s essentially involved in two feuds by herself. Make it make sense for me abeg Edge is back Edge said 2020 has taught him that you can’t sleep on tomorrow. Pick yourself up and keep walking forward. Ten years ago, after WrestleMania 27, he went to bed as World Heavyweight Champion, but within a week he had to forfeit his title and his career, which was his ultimate dream. He got the fire back in his gut to make him fight for nine years to get his career back. And then at Backlash, Randy Orton tore his tricep and gave him another reminder of how what you hold dear can be torn away from you. And now, he’s back and he’s in the Royal Rumble on Sunday! This is being highlighted because it was as powerful as Kevin Owens’ promo last Friday. Now him being in the match, could be interesting. Could he win? Maybe! He might be in the final four. I’m just extremely happy to see him again. His and Orton’s promos from back in April and May were real highlights. Cedric might be in trouble I just want to say before all this, Shelton Benjamin forgot to take his mask off before coming out and quickly took it off when he realized and it was a genuinely hilarious moment. Alexander, Benjamin, and Lashley had a special surprise present for MVP for being the reason why all of them are wearing gold (and silver! Yes the tag titles are not gold and I’ll never call them a color they aren’t). It was a nice necklace with big letters THB. R-Truth crashed the party and Lashley was telling him to get in the ring, but all the 24/7 fodder came out and brawled with Hurt Business. Riddle came in and hit MVP in the face and got out quick. Riddle started with Benjamin and both had nice urgency to put each other away. Benjamin had Riddle in a nasty submission and Riddle kept fighting his way out. Riddle locked in a Guillotine and Benjamin got out of it but Riddle got a near fall. Alexander tried interfering but it distracted the referee as Benjamin had Riddle pinned, and you know what that means. Riddle switched the roll up and got the win. MVP was next but he was very busy trying to get Benjamin and Alexander to stop the infighting, and the referee rang the bell and Riddle immediately made him tap out. Welp. Not really a well-oiled machine here. Alexander was last, and he did a gut buster and Riddle was able to kick out. Riddle bounced off the ropes right into an explosive drop kick, and then Alexander and Benjamin started fighting with each other again. MVP was coaching Alexander and not getting any thanks for it. Alexander powerbombed him to try and get out of the triangle submission, and it didn’t work. Cedric ended up having the best match out of everyone and it was interesting to see that MVP now is even getting on his case. The coaching was pretty direct, and he spent more of Shelton’s time focusing on him instead of coaching Shelton, who was also not winning. It’s setting up a babyface break for Cedric, but we’ll see. Lashley came out at the end and put Riddle in the Hurt Lock. I’m intrigued to see how the break up happens since Cedric and Shelton are tag champs. Though if he’s in any way involved in making Lashley lose, he may not be safe. No enthusiasm Drew came out and said things. Miz and Morrison came out and said things. Goldberg did the thing. Goldberg and Drew speared and Claymored Miz and Morrison. End. The Rest Xavier Woods defeated Slapjack Woods and Slapjack actually ended up having the most exciting match out of all the RETRIBUTION boys. Woods hit a dropkick right off the bat. Slapjack tried getting some offense in with a back body drop, but Woods fired up with the Honor Roll. Ali ordered T-Bar to shut him down, but Woods got the win. After the match, Ali looked like he was about to hit Woods with a chair, but put it down and sat in it instead. Reckoning gave him a mic, and he asked Woods to deliver a message to Kofi. He’s out of the Royal Rumble, and tell him that Mustafa Ali is replacing him. Absolutely brilliant promo work here. Sheamus defeated Morrison / Miz and Morrison defeated Sheamus Sheamus hasn’t had a bad match in recent memory. He did the Irish Curse backbreaker for a near fall, but Morrison caught him midair and took out his left knee. Morrison hooked his leg in a knee bar and Sheamus knocked Morrison loopy so he could get out of it. Sheamus powerbombed him for another near fall. White Noise got him the win. And then Miz grabbed a mic and said that he should now face both Miz and Morrison in a handicap match… Very stupid for agreeing to this, sir. Miz and Morrison dominated for most of the match, until he eliminated Morrison from the Royal Ru… oh sorry no just threw Morrison over the top rope regularly. If you were playing a drinking game when commentary said “If this happens on Sunday…” you were drunk at this point. Sheamus went to the top rope and knocked both Miz and Morrison down. Sheamus Brogue Kicked Morrison and Miz gave him the Skull Crushing Finale to win. AJ Styles defeated R-Truth R-Truth was put on the “qualify for the Royal Rumble list”, so the gatekeeper of the Royal Rumble had another match to try and keep someone else out. He succeeded with the Calf Crusher, but the match had its moments. They did the Omos is gigantic spot again which I love, and Truth did the Five Knuckle Shuffle like his idol. This was harmless fun. 1 Like 1 Share |
