these lazy reporters....using their phones for interviews....be professional and buy handheld recorders like the real reporters.

So Billie tells Peyton to take it easy on Ember so she can have a crack at her after.

So they already planning on Peyton losing?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Wait, how was Dream hurt and how long is he out?

Gargano's theme music sounds like it was meant for Ruby Riott tbh

I smell a new main roster pairing after this stable business is over.

solid match....I just want them and every pro wrestler for that matter to stop the shocked face off false finishes.

You don't see any other combat fighter looking shocked a move didn't work.

Not likely to happen. They gave former MMA fighter Tanner shit on Tough Enough for not making faces during matches.

I believe it was selling they were talking about....the shocked face after a two count is my major gripe. If a move never wins you matches...why act shocked?

Atleast when Undertaker did it with HBK it was because NOONE ever kicked out of the tombstone

It wasn't so much selling as they told Chelsea Green not to sell, but rather using his face to tell a story and get his character across. I agree, it's funny to act surprised your move doesn't work, but I think WWE tells them to do it.

 

[Deezy]

Shouldn't act shocked all the time...could look pissed the move didn't work or exasperated or confused.

 

[Hoss]

Just watched the latest episode of NXT. I'm all for Killian Dain and Johnny Gargano being shown some love. That main event, while spotty, really delivered. Also Sonya really looked killer. She'll be easy to get over as a monster in the women's division. Andrade as champ is interesting to me... Don't know how I feel about him yet, I've only seen a small amount. He looks like a solid champion but his promo this week was kinda off the wall and didn't scream face of the company to me but I'm going to see how things play out before judging.

NXT preview, Dec. 20, 2017: Undisputed ERA looks to shock SAnitY and take their NXT Tag Team Titles

Undisputed ERA challenges SAnitY for the NXT Tag Team Championship, Tyler Bate tries to pry the WWE United Kingdom Title from Pete Dunne, and Roderick Strong battles Lars Sullivan in a Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender Qualifying Match in a jam-packed episode of NXT.

Undisputed ERA eyes SAnitY’s NXT Tag Team Titles

Undisputed ERA has done exactly what they said they were going to do: shock the system. Since arriving to NXT, Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly have created mayhem within the NXT Universe. The rebellious trio then overtook the system at TakeOver: WarGames by not only surviving, but winning the barbaric return of the WarGames Match over SAnitY and The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong.

For O’Reilly & Fish, they now have a chance to rule the system tonight on NXT when they challenge SAnitY for the NXT Tag Team Championship. If Undisputed ERA can manage to lay claim to the coveted titles, there truly may be no stopping this formidable faction.

Despite their success in shocking the system thus far, Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain will not go quietly. And there certainly will be bedlam involved. No matter which two members of the unhinged faction compete this Wednesday in defense of their NXT Tag Team Titles, there will be chaos. Can SAnitY stave off Undisputed ERA and keep the NXT Tag Team Championship in their grasp?

See who walks out of NXT with the NXT Tag Team Titles in tow tonight at 8/7 C on the award-winning WWE Network.

Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate’s WWE United Kingdom Title rivalry enters its next chapter

Tyler Bate was the first Superstar to become the WWE United Kingdom Champion after valiantly overcoming injury to defeat Pete Dunne in the Finals of the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament.

Four months later at TakeOver: Chicago, The Bruiserweight would prevail over Bate to become the new titleholder. Since then, the unforgiving champion has fought and defended the WWE United Kingdom Title multiple times, showing no remorse for the beatings he’s inflicted on his challengers along the way.

The next chapter in Dunne and Bate’s epic rivalry over the coveted WWE United Kingdom Championship takes place tonight when Dunne defends the title against Bate on NXT.

Every time these two foes meet inside the squared circle, the NXT Universe is left in awe by the rare combination of finesse and brutality displayed in their battles. Who will walk out of NXT the WWE United Kingdom Champion?

Find out when Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate clash tonight at 8/7 C on WWE Network.

Can Roderick Strong topple Lars Sullivan en route to the Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Match?

Roderick Strong and Lars Sullivan are vastly different Superstars. Yet, this Wednesday when they battle head-to-head on NXT, they have the same goal: to win and move on to the Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Match.

The Messiah of the Backbreaker is a true underdog, battling his whole life to become one of the best in-ring grapplers in the world. He’s also a devoted family man who is fighting for his son and fiancée. Sullivan, on the other hand, has no family. The monstrous Superstars professed as much during his interview with the media on the Dec. 6 episode of NXT. Sullivan also is the furthest thing from an underdog.

Unbeaten in singles action since entering NXT, the 6-foot-3, 300-plus pound behemoth has destroyed his competition at every turn. With hands that look like they could squeeze the life out of a grizzly bear, Sullivan is a scary man. But, if there is a way to topple this giant, Strong may just be the Superstar to figure it out.

With a potential future opportunity to challenge Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT Title at TakeOver: Philadelphia on the line, the stakes are high for both Superstars.

See if Roderick Strong’s heart and desire will be enough to overcome the pure power and brute force of Lars Sullivan in their Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Qualifying Match tonight on NXT.

Bate vs Dunn is worth watching this show on its own

 

[Kross Rhodes]

NXT kicking off the action with SAnity. Wise choice. Reel me in.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It's pretty neat seeing ReDRagon get a tag title match with SAnity on TV rather than a TakeOver.

Gives this show a big fight feel. Especially with Dunne and Bate going at it again later on.
