Well, there was no thread about this episode, so I took it upon myself to make it. :emoji_wink:

So, does this mean Gargano gets called up...? Ciampia comin' too? Soo many questions in that cliffhanger ending. Which was sublime by NXT writing/executive. Whoever wrote it - get a fucking raise!

I just learned something new about Baszler did you know she loved doing death matches? a former MMA in a death match with weapons ouch

Let's have a look at the best weekly wrestling show in the world...

+ And we open with Velveteen Dream vs. No Way Jose...straight to the action...
No bullshit with great commentary. Velveteen Dream is so over...& he deserves
to be. The commercial breaks still stop the match flow dead in its tracks.

*Watches Match*

And the Dream gets the win...& cuts a pretty solid promo afterwards. Nice...

+ And William Regal announces the Dusty Rhodes Classic...Sweet! And they get
a title shot at TakeOver: New Orleans...Nice!

+ Next up we have Nikki Cross (Cute & Crazy) vs. Vanessa Borne...who I've never
seen before...and her outfit is pretty nice I have to admit...but her music makes me
think she's a stripper.

I love Nikki's entrance music...I hope she gets to keep it on the main roster.

*Watches Match*

And Nikki gets the win...God she's Awesome...

*Sigh*

+ And now a quick recap of the Black/Dain confrontation from last week...

+ Another recap this time about Moon/Baszler/Sane...& we are getting Shayna
Baszler vs. Kairi Sane next week in a rematch from the Mae Young Classic!

SWEET!!!

+ And now Almas vs. Gargano Rd.4...& I'm ready for this...& I'm always happy to
see Zelina Vega...Yum!

*Watches Match*

~ And Candice LeRae is beating the smarts out of Zelina Vega again...Yay!
~ This match doesn't seem to have the same "flow" as their TakeOver match...
~ The more I watch Almas...the more the guy grows on me...he has such a natural
style & presence...like he was born to be a wrestler.
~ Is it just me or does Ciampa look like he should be in the Wyatt Family or SAni†Y?
~ Mauro's call during the final few moments of this match were pure gold...
~ And Almas retains...& everyone but Ciampa, Almas & Vega is sad.

And I must admit I am curious to see where Gargano (& his lovely wife) end up...
205 Live? SmackDown? Raw? I guess we can only wait & see...

In conclusion...another great wrestling show filled with great wrestling.

Grievous Approves...

Another good show, it flew by as always. 7/10

The ME was great and the highlight of the show. So, Gargano lost after a great match... Curious to see where this storyline goes.

I'm guessing they're going to find another way to get Gargano vs Ciampa at Takeover New Orleans, and Candice La Rae will face Zelina Vega (I mean, she was Rosita in TNA so she knows how to wrestle).

Also, Tomasso Ciampa is a bastard, I love it.
