WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


Culture Clash with The Culture
You all know I love Hit Row probably as much or more than Kyle loves The Blade. They are my wrestling Wu-Tang Clan, and I truly believe they ain’t nothing to F’ with. But there are moments when this beef with Legado Del Fantasma feels like it might go off the rails. The feud plays around with race and ethnic traditions to reinforce the differences between the two factions.
We’re not in cringeworthy territory yet, and I hope we never get there, but I have to acknowledge the giraffe in the room before even digging into the wrestling. Cool? Cool.
Remember a couple weeks ago when I juxtaposed Hit Row’s unity with Legado Del Fantasma’s lack of unity? Yeah that’s not a thing anymore. Santos Escobar’s group worked like a Swiss watch in this match, dishing out punishment to their main target, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, and cutting the ring off in the process. It was a thing of beauty if you’re a fan of tag team wrestling. Eventually, courtesy of Top Dolla, Hit Row took the upper hand because, well, you’ve seen Top Dolla.
At one point in the match, the man had all three members of Legado Del Fantasma on his shoulders and dropped them. A grown man picked up three other grown men and dropped them like they were infants, Insanity.
But then the momentum was riding with Escobar and crew once the big man tagged out and they continued working their tag team magic. That said, it still wasn’t enough to put away the Row. And if we know anything from groups with the word “Row” in their names, you need to have an army of equal size to even compete. Which brings us to the finish.
B-FAB is always the uncommon demoniator here. She looks out for the boys whenever chicanery is afoot. So, in typical B-FAB fashion, she intervened when it looked like Santos didn’t want to play fair. Well, Santos, Joaquin Wilde, and Raul Mendoza can count and they know four beats three every single time.
Enter Elektra Lopez.
Elektra Lopez took a lead pipe to B-FAB’s stomach and that’s when things got weird. After admiring her handiwork—B-FAB rolling around in agony—Lopez tossed the pipe to Swerve, who caught it for...reasons. Then, while arguing with the referee about the lead pipe he wasn’t going to use but didn’t want to drop, Santos rolled him up for a semi-long 1-2-3.
The show, and the match, ends with a four-on-four staring contest.
This was a great match and a dope way to end a fantastic night of television. These two crews hate each other and bringing in another woman to even the odds and give B-FAB something to do is a great idea. But that ending landed like a ton of bricks.
If there’s one thing I hate in anything I watch, it’s when normally smart characters act dumb because the story needs them to. Instead of finding an intelligent way to get from point A to point B, someone acts out of character for necessity. It’s a tad lazy.
It doesn’t ruin the match since clearly this is a new wrinkle, and it definitely doesn’t ruin the show. But there’s a better way to give Legado Del Fantasma the W, add Elektra to the equation, and not make the North American Champion look better equipped for a dunce cap than a championship belt.


That King...He’s Such a Savage
Samoa Joe...I’m sorry, NXT Champion Samoa Joe, is such a poet. The man came out to the ring, grabbed a microphone, and spun a tale of savages, kings, cold stares and colder shoulders. It’s the type of Hip Hop energy I can get behind.
But Pete Dunne, Kyle O’Reilly and LA Knight clearly can’t. Joe wanted a new challenger and these three cats stepped up. And they each have fair points.
Pete Dunne: He and Joe tangoed in the past and he’s ready to dance again.
LA Knight: He’s a smart ass loudmouth rocking my favorite Air Jordan 12 color variants.
Kyle O’Reilly: Not only did he beat Adam Cole 2-1 at TakeOver 36, but he called that man Samoa Joseph, which gave me several chuckles.
Before Kyle could get serious for a moment, the man currently in possession of the best hat in WWE, Ridge Holland, attacked an ailing O’Reilly. Pete Doone Dunne attacked Joseph during the commotion, which brought out Mr. Ciampa from the back to finish the job on Dunne that he didn’t finish earlier.
It’s wrestling, so a brawl ensued. When the dust cleared, Joe and Ciampa engaged in an intense stare down with Pete and his muscle.
Hey, NXT, please choose violence and give me this match. Thanks.


Carmelo Hayes Starts His Own Iliad
Carmelo Hayes says when he comes for the king, he doesn’t miss. The NXT Breakout tournament final was Hayes fighting the mountain of a man and heavy favorite, Odyssey Jones. In a tale as old as time, NXT gave us the David x Goliath story because it always works. Especially when David is so much fun to watch. But in this case, Goliath isn’t a jerk or raving lunatic.
These are two likable cats just fighting for a shot at a title. Hayes didn’t have a slingshot, but he gave the giant everything he had, even his top rope scissor kick. But nothing, not a single thing, kept the big man down. Even when Jones hit the mat, he rose quicker than a kid on Christmas morning.
Carmelo got the W by simply out maneuvering his opponent. Jones was spent and through his exhaustion, he got a little lazy on a cover. Hayes reversed the pin, used Jones’ momentum against him in the crucifix, and now gets a shot at the title of his choosing.
All it took was three seconds of Jones not being at his best for Hayes to prove his cunning can win him a lot of matches. It’s that same attribute that made him refrain from picking a champion to face. Carmelo Hayes is going to pick his spot. Smart man.


The rest
Married in a Hurry!
Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis set a wedding date, and Wade Barrett can’t stand it! Barrett’s distaste of this entire enterprise remains one of the most entertaining things on Tuesday nights. I’ll shed a tear on September 14 when that running gag meets its tragic end.
Wrestling weddings never end well so what type of shenanigans can we look forward to in three weeks? Especially with Indi’s dad Johnny Gargano asking Commissioner Regal to intervene. I guess he wants Regal to schedule a match during the wedding? Or...yeah, I don’t know how he thought that conversation would end.
Either way, look for Johnny Wrestling to do all he can to avoid becoming Johnny Father-In-Law.



Ridge Holland Finally Gets His Wish
Ridge Holland finally got what he wanted tonight. Timothy Thatcher had his moments, most definitely. but this was the Ridge Holland show. Holland is too strong, too big, and a whole bunch of other adjectives one uses to describe someone who looks like Ridge.
Ironically. the thing that revitalized Holland when Thatcher had him on the ropes, was his hatred for Tommaso Ciampa. Rather than focusing on the pain his reconstructed ankle felt while in a submission, he focused on Ciampa and channeled his rage into a mini shouting match.
One Emerald Flowsion later and it was goodnight, Timothy. Oney Lorcan x Danny Burch, back from the dead, showed up to join in on the reindeer games as Holland, Pete Dunne, Lorcan and Burch issued the standard post-match beatdown on the good guys.
Which is a real shame, because I really wanted to see Holland put that hat back on and stroll to the locker room like a true gentleman.Lol
As a result of the violence, Thatcher is out “indefinitely,” inspiring Pete Dunne and his boys to focus their sights squarely on Ciampa. If only he had a Joseph to watch his back...

Kacy Catanzaro x Kayden Carter Are Looking Past the Competition
Kacy and Kayden made quick work of Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne. Once the two high-flying ladies got the W, they immediately took to the commentary table and reiterated they want a shot at the NXT Women’s Tag titles. Which makes me wonder, what in the name of Wu-Tang is NXT doing with those tag titles? I want to know, and so do Kacy and Kayden.
They barely broke a sweat and once those tag titles come out of timeout, or whoever they are, I hope they get to wear them.
As for the losing team? Mandy Rose, looking like a cult leader, consoled them and told them to come with her if they want to live.

Too Much for Her to Bear
You know those matches where someone established is fighting someone who barely gets an entrance? I always feel bad for the person who is clearly cannon fodder. Valentina Feroz played that role tonight as Kay Lee Ray ripped through her like a blow torch through butter. Kay’s dominance in NXT UK makes her a legend, so she needed to make a statement in her first match on Tuesday nights. Consider the statement heard.
Kay Lee Ray toyed with Ms. Feroz until finishing her with a Gory Bomb. Poor, Valentina. Maybe next time?

Here Comes a New Challenger!
Raquel González must feel like the most popular girl in school. First Kay Lee Ray wants a piece of her, now Franky Monet wants some too! Me thinks a triple threat match is in the immediate future.

Diamond Mine is..Doing Stuff
Roderick Strong is doing another open challenge next week. Meh

Surprise, Boa. You Lose!
Boa took his eye off the prize to get directions from Mei Ying, and ate a fist from Xyon Quinn. Sucks to be him. I suppose this is going somewhere. I just hope they let us know where that place is and soon because I’m losing interest.

Monopoly Money Man
So this entire feud between LA Knight and Cameron Grimes over the Million Dollar Championship was all for nothing? Long story short, Grimes returned the belt to Dibiase, only for Dibiase to insist Grimes keep it. Except, it turns out he gave Grimes a replica belt, then cackled off into the Florida night. Nah, this ain’t it.

Grade: A
This was a dope show from top to bottom. I’m not sure how NXT will look in a few weeks—although it will be brighter—but I hope this energy and pace remains. The matches that needed to tell longer stories went long, while the shorter matches served their purpose as well. We even got Kyle O’Reilly into a new feud with Duke Hudson for good measure

Achilles100:
What is the purpose of the Green Knight movie cos I don't understand what I watched last night?

The statement in the movie, "Off with your head" does it mean(for those who have seen it) 'you can go with your head', or 'I am taking this your head'.

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


This was a perfect promo from Edge to really bring home what this match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam is all about.
Look at that man.
That is a man who has been driven to the brink of madness, a place he knows very well because he spent the majority of the most successful runs of his career existing in that space. He likes it. He always liked it, at least in part because it brought him that success. He is not that man anymore, though. No, the man he is today has everything to do with the kind of perspective one can only get by going through a near career-ending injury.
Rollins using that injury against him, with a finish that could put him right back where he was before, then, is unacceptable to the point of being enough to drive him back to the dark place he left behind. He just has to channel that.
He’s doing so, too, and we know this because he broke down Rollins’ promo from last week’s episode of SmackDown to its core. The message wasn’t so much about the threats Rollins was making. No, the realization Edge came to is that Seth actually believes all this bullshit he’s spewing.
That makes him far more dangerous than your run-of-the-mill A-hole. He’s radical. There’s only one way to deal with a guy like that, in a situation like this. “I don’t just have to beat you, I have to break you. I have to humble you. And Seth, oh Seth, at SummerSlam I am going to BURN. YOU. DOWN.”
Rollins got the chance to respond later, and you could really tell how well Edge’s promo worked because the crowd would hardly let him talk.
I’m not the biggest fan of the direction they went next — Edge using The Brood music, cutting a Brood promo, and then dumping black goo all over Seth in the ring. It’s a bit too theatrical for everything they set up before it, which felt so raw and personal without needing those kind of theatrics. But this is WWE, you gotta take this kind of thing as part of the deal.
Either way, this is going to be good.


For the sake of transparency, it’s much harder to write about this Roman Reigns-John Cena promo segment after watching CM Punk’s return to pro wrestling in AEW on Rampage.
Having said that, the crowd helped it feel like the kind of big deal WWE has been hoping it would be. I still can’t agree with how meta they’ve gone with the story, and they pressed down on that button once again this week. Cena did well enough to intersperse the meta talk with his refrain of only needing to keep Reigns down for the count of three but it’s hard to ignore him saying things like “isn’t it obvious? They promoted this as the ‘Summer of Cena,’ I’m here to demote you.”
It’s a cutesy line, but it’s too cutesy for my blood.
It also goes against Cena’s entire character and what he was supposed to represent, but I hardly think that even matters or should be the focus here. Reigns threw in the stipulation that he’ll leave WWE if he loses, Cena agreed to it, then got the upper hand on him to show that it can be done.
We can all be reasonably certain it won’t be done but the good news is these two tend to deliver in big matches like this. If Vegas has the same energy this crowd did, it’s going to be electric. Sometimes that’s enough to make the details fade into the background.


All the rest
It’s worth pointing out that Rey and Dominik were arguing backstage before Rey’s match against Jey Uso. They couldn’t get along about the way things went down last week before getting on the same page for this week. Or so we thought. Dom tried to cheat to help Rey win, and dad didn’t like that. He got tossed out by the referee and when Rey went outside to scold him, The Usos took advantage and scored a victory. This was well executed to make clear there are internal issues in the Mysterio camp ahead of their tag team title rematch at SummerSlam.

I’m legitimately shocked that WWE came up with a genuinely compelling story for the Money in the Bank contract and that silly briefcase. Bum Ass Baron Corbin, as the impeccable Pat McAfee has taken to calling him, is such a desperate sack of sadness that he’s gone from being a beggar to a thief. He stole the briefcase last week, and when Big E came to collect this week, it felt so damn good seeing him lay those big forearms right into Baron’s cranium. It was equally maddening to see Baron once again manage to snake the briefcase away and run off with it again while pat said "ther is a 6foot6 trash bag running out of the stadium and he has the money in the bank briefcase". I am very much looking forward to the next time Big E catches up with him.

Bianca Belair is incredibly talented and absolutely worthy of being champion of the blue brand but there’s been something missing during this babyface run with the title. That something was the edge she displayed during her “I’m absolutely fed up with all this shit” promo on this show. I’m not entirely sure why, but it hits so much harder when she gets some attitude before saying she’s the EST of WWE instead of being happy go lucky about it. This was made all the better by her beating Zelina Vega and then Carmella, back-to-back.

Shotzi & Tegan Nox defeated Natalya & Tamina Stuka, the current women’s tag team champions. The commentary team called this a “major upset,” which is awfully strange considering Shotzi & Nox have defeated Nattie & Tamina literally every time they’ve wrestled since the two were called up to the main roster weeks ago. Three times in total in tag matches, and also Nox beat Tamina in a singles match for good measure. But, hey, it’s good to see Natalya looks healthy and is already back from that awful looking injury!

They’ve committed to getting this new, more serious version of Otis over and I still can’t decide how I feel about it. I don’t like that it’s been at the expense of The Street Profits, but I also don’t even know if it will ultimately work. I still have a hard time seeing Otis and not hearing that hilarious way he used to talk to TUCK-AY. Just me?

I don’t want to overreact or anything but I’m pretty sure BOOGS is world title material. That man played guitar on Apollo Crews during an abdominal stretch, and then pinned him right there in the middle of the ring. He’s going places. Another shout to McAfee for this one when fans were cheering for his name: “they’re not booing; they’re BOOGS’ing!”
This was a fun show!

Small news dey o...

I believe yesterday AAA held their Triplemania XXIX event and Kenny Omega defended his AAA Mega championship against Andrade along side Ric Flair, his father-inlaw.
At one point both Ric and Andrade double-teamed to chop Kenny.

WWE didn't grant Charlotte the permission to appear at the event, but she was backstage anyway to help Andrade prepare for his match and was in talks with AAA and AEW along with other female wrestlers names unknown except for Chelsea Green.

ValeeLove:
well you're right in a way, but I think NXT's major problem is that Vince doesn't believe in it and also their stars are always called up without proper replacement.
As for AEW I don't think that will be the case. Unlike WWE they actually know how to book. Their 4 shows will be able to give everyone a shining chance...fingers crossed anyway.
