Darth Krawlie Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 they've done a few backstage segments. went to a sushi restaurant or some shit. didn't watch this week so I dunno. there aren't any other current women's tag teams on NXT so they're kinda stuck. Franky Monet and Jessi Kamea can be built up, and Kacy and Kayden are faces, that's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it... yeah. Soooo, who's interfering in the men's title matches tonight? a) The Usos b) Finn Balor c) Baron Corbin d) all of the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 How did i miss SS being tonight. I never look at the date i just assumed it was Sunday. Got the Bucs game. Guess I'm watching the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 the raw tag title match is the only one interesting me, so I'll probably pass on the whole show. takeover is tomorrow, and it'll probably be the grand finale of what NXT has been the last few years if all the rumored changes are true.

Metropolis Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm not buying the rumors on NXT. They've been so vague it makes me think someone heard something from someone who heard something from someone who's cousin knows Bid E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Krawlie Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I ended up watching SummerSlam. Most of it was pretty meh but the main event was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Got the notification that Becky came back and win the SmackDown title. Peacock takes longer than the WWE network to put up the replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 It almost feels like WWE is trying to run its women's division into the ground. It would have been more interesting if Becky Lynch just came out and said "can I have my title back?" and Bianca handed it her. And... oh, look... It's Brock Lesnar. Roman's title reign is really starting to feel like a conveyor belt. I know plenty of fans just enjoy seeing "dominance" for its own sake, but WWE desperately needs to progress the Head of the Table storyline in some manner. They just hit the reset button every week. I suppose if this is meant to feel like purgatory, then it's a success. Rollins/Edge was really fun, though. Good rivalry and ring-chemistry.

Metropolis Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 So this has to be the start of s Bianca heel turn right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I see a lot of people are dumping in the finish of that match. I had the same reaction to the finish. Why would you do Bianca that way? I'm thing to go out in a limb and say that Becky agreed to do this at the last minute. She was rumored to have been returning after SS, but with Sasha not getting cleared i think they had to do something. Let's be honest Becky isn't the greatest in ring so match at a major PPV might not have met expectations. And it does set up a Bianca heel turn, because there is no way she is the face in a feud with Becky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well Nick Khan confirmed the upcoming NXT changes in an interview, so takeover tonight might as well be the series finale. obviously I’ll keep watching for now. Changes in and of themselves aren’t bad. But I’ve been so invested in this show for years now, to hear it’s all going to completely change, I have a hard time seeing me sticking around as a long term viewer. I haven’t watched RAW or smackdown in years, so what’s another show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 XSo the goal is for Becky to be a heel and Bianca to be the face. I say good luck with that. She's going to have to do something a lot more heelish to Bianca. Technically she didn't screw over Belair. Bianca accepted the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I think I'm in the minority here, but I don't really understand the need to have one clear-cut heel in every specific rivalry (especially since I'd like to see more heel versus heel storylines *cough cough* Roman/Rollins) I think Bianca and Becky are different enough where people would just choose whom they prefer and cheer for them. Wanting the same thing (the belt) should be enough sometimes, especially when one wrestler is a darker anti-hero and the other is bright and optimistic. Fan's heads aren't going to explode if one of the wrestlers doesn't have a "boo" sign hung around their neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Agree that face vs face feuds are fine, but I'm not with you on heel vs heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomaa Jedi Piarra Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I'm not big on "Championship Contender" matches where to become a contender for the championship, you have a non-title match with the champion and must win? I don't get that logic.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darth Hunter Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I find it strange what being at a show live does to a person. I was at Summerslam and really enjoyed it. I couldn’t get enough. But at the same time I recognize the problems others have mentioned about the show and know full well that had I just watched it on TV instead of being at Allegiant Stadium I would’ve thought it was rather lackluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Wow, two good RAW episodes in a row. I'm not sure if it's actually good, but after several months of absolute flatline writing and booking it's like a different show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Bad news for the WWE is it looks like Zayn and Owens are the next out the door. The dam has most definitely burst. I haven't watched RAW in years, but I read the results. I like the idea of Goldberg costing Lashley the title against Orton to set up their Saudi match. Meanwhile, with Orton as champ, Riddle can try to get his bro to give him a title shot. The clips of the two I've seen together have been entertaining, so with both the WWE AND the Tag Titles involved, it could be fun. It'd be even more fun if somehow Riddle could win the belt.

Metropolis Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I usually don't react live because i usually watch on the DVR. But! Paul Heyman is so good, i just can't fathom why Vince tags this man of of television when he's in a mood. This man is pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Or at least move the ppv further away from WM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 So the new look isn't bad. If NXT suffered from anything during the pandemic it was not having the Full Sail crowd. When the caged crowd at the CWC was lackluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
