Live NXT February 18th 2025 Discussion Thread - "Ricky Starks" signs his NXT contract

[Professor Booty]

They killed Stone!!

Starks/Saints debut, Lexis King in his hometown, Hardy’s return to WWE tv…

crowd is going to be HOT next week

 

[Chris]

Damn I can't believe they actually brought in Moose

 

[ScareValue]

RIP whichever of JDC and Brian Myers draws the short straw.

 

[Lethal]

Moose is so fucking lame. Ugh.

 

[Lethal]

Sorry but this "working relationship" just doesn't thrill me. Majority of the TNA people suck a fat one, and well, with LFG and Evolve, why the fuck are NXT people going to TNA to wrestle. It just seems....pointless? Idk. It would be legit if someone from another company won a belt from another company. Ya know, like if Lexis wins the X division title, or Cora wins the KO title, or Rascalz win nxt tag

They want tna n indie fans to see wwe branded things no matter what they watch. That's one answer. Great for ppl of both. Not so great for ppl who just want to watch the thing they showed up to watch ig.

Fwiw sounds like Oba is taking the x title . Seems to me it'll lead to some sort of crossover ppv during mania weekend mb, idk.

I will say, as a joke, this episode was very filled with aew outcasts lol. Ricky, Ethan and the hardyz heavily featured

 

[Comrade Khan]

I do think Oba v moose is much higher caliber than anything they've done w the partnership too so I personally have to give them props

 

[Lethal]

hmm yeah. but if oba gets the x title, then you create a "who beats him" sorta thing and it's just....crowded booking

I'm not sure how they handle it either. Mb just do a dq finish n call it a day

 

[Sky]

Just turned on NXT and MOOSE???

X Division doesn't have to be on the line bc it's a "speciality belt" not the world title. Oba can say he isn't interested without burying it if they do it right but it's a little risky, probs what I would do tho

 

[Sky]

I can see them doing it like the System being all around Moose like "dude... you got beaten by this rookie"

 

[Dale]

Depending if it's on TV or PLE, I can see the 4 new guys interfering and causing a DQ / Double DQ considering Oba called them out and they didn't show up

 

[Chris]

If the PC guys lay them out to set up the super team that would be great, but then how do you book the super team of Oba and Moose to not instantly murder your new group for dead after. Maybe that was their purpose tho
