Main event was solid and Corbin showed that he’s always been able to go, Melo was great and that Deep Six looked sick. I hope Corbin sticks with the Lone Wolf stuff but brings back his “I Bring The Darkness (End of Days)” theme.

Chef Reactions was going off on him again last night though and it was great

Chef Reactions reacts to people’s cooking videos on TikTok. He’ll rate the meal and say if he’ll eat it or not. Corbin was one of the ones he dunked on and Corbin saw it, and they’ve going back and forth ever since then.

He doesn’t hate everything he reacts to he does like some things and iirc he has said Corbin’s cooked food did look good. Chef is a wrestling fan too so that’s cool.

I’m ok with the “Superhuman” theme but the “I bring the darkness” theme( I actually think it’s called “End of Days but could be wrong”) is my favorite

Week two of WWE NXT Gold Rush averaged 622,000 viewers on the USA Network last night. That's down 19.5 percent from week one of the special (which featured Seth Rollins defending his World Heavyweight title in the main event). This is still NXT's second-best audience total since April 25.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT finished second on the cable charts with a 0.17 rating, down 26.1 percent from last week. It's tied for NXT's second-highest rating in the demo since April 25 and is the second straight week NXT has ranked second on cable. NXT actually had the same rating as the first-ranked show this week, but Love & Hip Hop had slightly more viewers in the demo.

NXT's ratings were down from last week in every demo with the biggest drop coming with females 12-34, which were down 45.5 percent.

As compared to the same week in 2022, NXT's overall audience was up 9.1 percent while its 18-49 rating was up 54.6 percent. Of note, the only category to drop year-over-year was people over 50, which was down 6.1 percent, so the audience is skewing younger than it was a year ago.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and individual demo ratings for NXT, as well as the 10-week averages in all categories. This week's show was up two percent in overall viewers and was steady in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.

Was cool to see Corbin bring back his Lone Wolf gimmick. Particularly after his NXT ring gear has been pretty damn dreadful. While his myriad of other gimmicks in recent years let him show more character and promo skills Lone Wolf is still clearly his best gimmick. And despite the 'opinions' parroted about him online the guy can go, and is a pretty damn effective heel.

Man 2017 was a good time..

I bring the darkness, I am the Thunder…
I remember how frustrated I was when he started using this and they waited for weeks before they released the song, I went mental.

The first version was cool too.
