WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions

Rematch Set
This episode crowned the #1 contender for the New Year’s Evil NXT title match.
This was achieved by pitting Pete Dunne and Kyle O’Reilly against each other. Another match between these was bound to be good. And what would you know? It was!
NXT decided to get all of the overbooking that’s normally reserved for the end of the match over with before the bell even rang. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, who accompanied Dunne to the ring, were ganged up on by Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Killian Dain, and a returning Breezango. (Drake Maverick tried but he was laid out immediately so I am not really counting him. Try harder next time, DM.)
Before the bell, this type of booking is fun. It was all the sins of Pat McAfee’s gang coming back to bite them in the ass right here. But more importantly, it left Pete and Kyle to just go ham on each other for 20 minutes. It got the outside action out of the way so it didn’t sully the performance these two men gave by factoring in the end.
This match was a barn burner. Soomuch action. There were a few times that the Bruiserweight seemed to have the upper hand for a little bit of time, but really it was reversing holds and trading stiff shots in various creative ways. It was brutal and it was awesome.
In the end, it was a suplex to the outside (which Kyle delivered by reversing the Bitter End on the apron) and then a knee to the back of the head from the top that earned O’Reilly the end.
It was a war between these two.
This sets up a rematch between Kyle and Finn, an outcome that was a bit surprising. I figured they’d go triple threat or Pete vs. Finn. Instead, they went for the rematch.
I’m certainly not mad about it. The TakeOver: 31 main event was a baller match. And the story is already there with Kyle losing the match but putting Finn on the shelf for months with a broken jaw. There’s less work needed to build a compelling match. And maybe they don’t want Pete to lose a title match just now.
Let’s just hope these men don’t do the damage to each other they did last time around.

A Big L
The main event of this week’s show was a bout between Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm.
There was little to no build for this one. These two have history that could have been further explored. They touched on that history a bit during a video earlier in the evening that helped promote this match, specifically discussing their rivalry in NXT UK. But there was still some more that could have been done. I’m of the opinion that every big match deserves one face to face promo segment prior.
None-the-less, the match was great. These women clearly do not like each other, and they relayed that with their aggression in this match. Given the way this ended and the lack of real build, this is a match I hope they come back to in the future and spend a little more time on.
Raquel González was directly involved in the finish, letting us know that this match was more to set up that program than this being a program of its own. Raquel seemed to come out for her spot prior to her queue when Storm was on the apron instead of Ripley. It was an awkward moment that ended with González meekly being chased back into the crowd.
She returned again when the right woman was on the apron, knocking Rhea off, catching her over her shoulder, and running the Nightmare head first into the steel post. Storm took it from there, nailed the Aussie’s head in the corner and then putting her away with Storm Zero.
So this was one Rhea’s losses, It was protected, but it is still an L. And conversely, it’s a big win for Storm heading into her next feud, whether it be against Ember Moon or Io Shirai.
Ripley will surely face Raquel González, probably at New Year’s Evil. And once again, she’ll probably take another loss. We’ve speculated here that this is Rhea putting people over before going to the main roster. If not, then they’re going to need to tell a story of Ripley once again suffering a set back.
All the matches should be good. The women’s scene in NXT is superb. The big question is what happens with the Nightmare when it’s all said and done?

A Winning Way
This is the Way.
Because of course proud nerd Johnny Gargano would name his stable after a phrase from the Mandalorian. Sasha Banks would approve.
Austin Theory picked up his first win in ages teaming with Johnny as they faced Leon Ruff and Kushida. Theory took advantage of a blind tag, catching Ruff unaware and hitting his finish (now named “This is the Way”) for the win.
This establishes that Gargano is in fact the way for Theory to find success in NXT. Though I’m still not sold on Austin’s place in the group. The Garganos’ other padawan Indi Hartwell fits. She reacts to Johnny’s ridiculous BS very well. But Austin doesn’t click with the group like she does, at least not yet. He’s still a rather dull character. Maybe that’s something they’ll play with. It’s still early. But I’m not sold.
Giving Austin an elusive win meant Kushida picked up a rare loss. Now he wasn’t involved in this match much at all and certainly wasn’t involved in the finish. Leon did the lion’s share of the work.
So this loss doesn’t hinder Kushida at all and we’re likely headed towards a North American title feud for the Japanese superstar. While that’s a bit disappointing because I had my hopes up for a match with Bálor, the more I think about it, the more I come around to it.
The NXT title scene is very busy right now, especially with Karrion Kross back. A strong run with the North American title can allow Kushida continue to build his resume in NXT for a main title opportunity that is even more earned.
But that’s getting ahead of ourselves. He needs to earn a match with Johnny for the burgundy strap first.

Big Debut Match
It looks like NXT is high on this Tyler Rust guy.
He debuted just last week to help Timothy Thatcher, even though he’s not actually associated with Thatcher. Meanwhile manager extraordinaire Malcolm Bivens was trying to recruit him backstage, recruit him before he even had a match in NXT. It all felt like we were at a part in his story where I should know more about who he is but don’t.
Rust’s match with Tommaso Ciampa this week, stemming from Tyler inexplicably aiding Thatch, proved that Bivens has an eye for talent. Because Tyler Rust took Ciampa to the limit.
On paper, this should have been one segment where Ciampa easily dispensed with the NXT newcomer. But instead, this match went two segments and there were legitimately spots where I thought Rust could score a major upset. He didn’t. He succumbed to Willow’s Bell. But he came very close. The announce team made sure to put him over big time as a future star in NXT.
A weird debut one week and a strong showing another doesn’t mean he’s getting the world title this year. But the amount of offense he had against an NXT great was definitely notable. The night ended with him apparently joining Bivens Enterprises so we’ll see where that takes both men.
Throughout all this, Ciampa and Thatcher played their mind games with each other, but nothing really moved in that regard.

All the rest:
- Karrion Kross squashed one Desmond Troy before telling Damian Priest he’ll see him at New Year’s Evil. Part of me was hoping Priest would attack Kross during his sacred entrance. Maybe next time.

- The torture for Boa and Xia Li continues. It really is time to start moving this along.

- Indi Hartwell got herself DQ’d against Shotzi Blackheart when she used Candice’s WarGames trophy against Shotz right in front of the referee. While there was an actual corner botch earlier, her failing to cheat behind the ref’s back was a planned one. Despite them still getting the best of Blackheart after the bell, Candice and Johnny’s wrestle kids still have some work to do.

There were two great matches this week - the main event and the #1 contender’s match. Nothing else was essential

INTERPRETATION
CR: Highly cerebral and logical human being coordinating the team to success as he acts more like an oversight function and is not distracted due to the operationality of the task

ZLATAN: Hands on coordinator. Downside is he can miss items that can get them not to reach the final destination as he himself could tire out quickly like the team

MESSI: Dumb-ass boss "leader". He is trying to lift what is thrice his capacity. Stupidity does not allow him to realise that its a team work and everyone need to contribute their quota. Worse still he will be reling on feedback from three people that may be disjointed in their views. Ends up not getting anything done. He is even angry while doing it. Who send am?

WWE Raw Reviews recaps and reactions

Bray Wyatt came out first to apologize to Orton for things getting out of hand last week.
Because sometimes He has a sick, deranged mind of his own. Bray said he wishes that they got the chance to get along because after TLC there may be nothing left of Orton. So for this show, they’ll have fun and he prepared some jokes.
The first joke was… okay. Measuring vipers in inches because they don’t have feet. Snakes clean their cars with windshield vipers. Meh.
Orton had enough (as did I!) and said that he didn’t realize the Fiend gave him the chance to look the devil in the eyes. Orton admitted he was out-maneuvered but it won’t happen again.
Orton suggested playing hide and seek and Bray accepted.
Bray’s acting in this, while his lines were mostly shit, was pretty great. The way he was enunciating and exaggerating his words like a little kid’s show would was a really nice touch.
While in the back, Bray encountered Riddle, who had a whiteboard and was pitching Bro-Nouns. For Bros and people who talk. Then Bray left and Riddle asked Ramblin’ Rabbit to sign a carrot for his bunny.
One of the only genuine moments of entertainment I had this evening.
Then, Bray saw a rocking chair in a dark room. He entered the room and sat in the chair, looking at it like it was an old memory. Orton attacked, and locked Bray in a trunk. AND THEN ORTON LIT IT ON FIRE AND THE FIEND POPPED OUT! Randy sure likes burning things, doesn’t he?
Fiend put the Mandible Claw in Orton’s mouth again and Orton passed out. That was such a cool moment. I really wish these guys were having a Firefly Fun House match at TLC.

Ascension - In the main event segment, Drew McIntyre and AJ were in the ring for the title ascension. AJ put over the fact that he and Drew have never wrestled together before, and I really like that because it’s rare we get a first time match up. Drew said that he’s always wanted this match. He’s a diamond that’s rough because of his 19 year history trying to get to the top of WWE. Drew puts the title in the holder and then Miz and Morrison attacked.
Drew fended off the losers and Jordan (Now “Omos” I think is how you spell it) tossed the steel steps into the ring to distract Drew, and AJ took McIntyre out at the knee, gave him a Phenomenal Forearm and hit him with a ladder and a chair. AJ climbed the ladder and got the title. Omos makes this interesting because I wouldn’t have picked AJ to win if he was alone. Now, I don’t know!

AJ Styles def. Sheamus - In a world of winners and losers, two losers and one winner presented us with another Dirt Sheet segment. However this time, I may have been a bit more entertained by it than I’d want to admit. AJ can pull off silly, and he’s really the only reason why I was entertained by this.
So Sheamus came out and AJ threw a tree at him, and Sheamus threw a present back, which started the match. Sheamus stretched AJ’s arm back and I sometimes forget how flexible you need to be in order to be a wrestler. He had AJ on the apron and tried to powerbomb him onto the announce table, but Omos caught AJ and gently let him down. AJ locked in a calf crusher on the knee Sheamus was favoring, but Sheamus was able to do White Noise and I thought it was going to be over. AJ actually won with an urgent pin. No finisher! Then Sheamus got stuck in the ropes upside down and AJ battered him with chair shots. Yowie Owie.
So this may end up taking out Sheamus for TLC which will leave Drew all alone. Was quite strange that Drew never came out to help him after the big fight and make up last week. My goodness if Miz actually walks out of the pay-per-view holding the title…I don't know hownid feel about that right now considering the love I have for the Miz

The Hurt Business def. New Day and Jeff Hardy - Before the match, the Hurt Business bullied a crew member backstage and Lashley dumped a whole carton of milk on the dude. He also got some of it on his nice suit. They had to vary the Hurt Business and New Day so they threw Jeff Hardy in and allowed Lashley to team up with his counterparts for the first time in what feels like months.
Hurt Business put the hurt on Kofi once again like last week. Each member took turns looking like they’re showing Kofi as a weak link. Jeff got the hot tag after Shelton took out Woods and Cedric tagged in and hit a sick knee on Jeff. Everyone attacked each other and the urgency from Cedric to get the pin has been wonderful. Jeff was about to do a Swanton bomb but Cedric knocked him off the top rope, then Lashley locked in the Hurt Lock for the win.
Cedric celebrated as if he had scored the victory for the team, and the other men looked at him confused. I am loving this Cedric so much. Nice seeing all Hurt Business men together again, too. I think we may be seeing new tag champs this Sunday!

Mace def. Ricochet - Mace had some decent offense and kicked Ricochet inside out. Ali finally alluded to Mace being the former Dio Maddin replaced by Samoa Joe on commentary so it was nice for that to finally be out there officially. Ricochet took control, and then Ali sent T-Bar and Slapjack to assist but were taken out. Ali then just told Mace to shut him down, and he won the match. Ali telling people to crush their opponents and they just win is a nice way to get the job done. I don’t mind that!
After the match, Ali told Ricochet that this only ends when Ricochet joins RETRIBUTION. At the moment, I feel like I might actually be okay with that. Short term, though. Please don’t let me jinx it.

Riddle def. MVP - MVP started rough with Riddle, who brought out some more BroNuts. Riddle defeated MVP with a Floating Bro in a minute.

Miz and Morrison def. Keith Lee - Garbage. Absolute garbage. Don’t even care how “strong” Keith was booked, pouncing Morrison around and tossing him all over the place. Don’t even care that he was in two submissions at once. Garbage. Vince should better know what he is doing with Keith

Elias did stuff - Uh… so Jaxson Ryker is back. The Forgotten Son everyone wanted to forget forever. Now he’s been changed by Elias’ music. Now he’s Elias’ bitch. Then they involved the 24/7 title and he beat up Metalik and Tozawa. Hm. Odd choices. (If you couldn’t tell, I don’t give a shit so you’re not getting much from me on this guy.)

Lana def. Nia Jax / Shayna Baszler def. Dana Brooke - What a… finishing move. We saw another Lanacanrana and Lana pinned Nia in unique fashion. Shayna attacked Asuka in the back, and Nia and Shayna battered Lana until Asuka made the save. I… uh… yeah okay.
Don’t care about the second match but HAHAHA they announced Lana isn’t going to be at TLC so what was the point of all of this booking?!? Mandy Rose came back to help Dana and Asuka.

Raw is a skippable show. There’s really no need to sit and watch this for three hours. YouTube and enjoy. TLC is this Sunday and it doesn’t feel as exciting as it should for the Raw side of the show. Everything feels generic.
