Live NXT September 17th 2024 Discussion Thread - CM Punk to make an announcement

[Tranquilo Jay]

Always liked the NXT graphics very tidy and the colours are lush.

Fcking hell yeah Hammerstone on NXT I can tell.he not juicing as much as usual.but he's a freak of a size and can go in the ring. This after Joe Hendry becoming a worldwide name not saying Hammerstone will.but he's got every tool in the box too become a megastar. Look at MJF one of his best friends Richard Holliday was seriously ill and is just coming back fulltime .

The Dynasty on MLW I used too watch it for these guys and congratulations unit. Now I get Jacob and Max on TV every week and hopefully hammer gets a WWE deal too.

The hell.did the don just walk out of the Hammerstone match?? Confused as hell now..Anyone know?

I have to ask, what is the logic of Punk being a special guest referee? What is the reason for his involvement in the title match exactly? Or is it just a for fun thing with no actual kayfabe reasoning (and its more marketing)

 

[Chris]

Yeah just marketing for Chicago, my theory is he was gonna do Roxanne/Giulia but they were like eh bc it's a women's match for some reason bc he even tweeted about that one last week...then had a segment with Roxanne and Giulia this week lol

 

[Chris]

There's logic to needing a special ref tho, Ethan always cheats and abuses them

you think they still that apprehensive about men on women stuff eh, that is a shame. makes sense what u said about ethan always cheating tho. not that it really matters that much since its wrestling, was just curious if he was just randomly thrown in the story and it sounds like it

 

[Chris]

I'm kayfabe it was his idea as well, very believable lol

I mean he does love to make everything about himself so that part tracks
