Live NXT 'Super Tuesday II' September 8th Discussion Thread: New NXT Champion Will be Crowned

[Dale]

Sixty minutes weren’t enough to decide a new NXT Champion thanks to Adam Cole’s miraculous, buzzer-beating final fall on NXT Super Tuesday.

Now Cole will go one-on-one with Finn Bálor for the NXT Title to kick off NXT Super Tuesday II this Tuesday night.

Bálor had seemingly all but clinched his second NXT Championship, striking at the perfect time with a Coup de Grace on Tommaso Ciampa and pinning The Blackheart with less than 20 seconds left to take a 2-1-1-1 lead over the other three competitors.

Cole then burst back into the ring, blindsiding The Prince with the Last Shot and pinning him just before time expired to finish in a 2-2 tie.

Following the dead heat conclusion, both men staked their claim to the NXT Title in a tumultuous scene that prompted William Regal’s arrival.

The NXT General Manager ruled immediately that Bálor and Cole — owners of the two longest NXT Title reigns in history — will face off in a one-fall bout next week to definitively crown an NXT Champion.

Rhea Ripley is tired of playing games with Mercedes Martinez and The Robert Stone Brand, and she isn’t hiding it.

That’s why she has called for Martinez to face her inside a Steel Cage — a challenge her rival eagerly accepted, setting the stage for The Battle of The Badasses in the main event of NXT Super Tuesday II

Martinez and The Robert Stone Brand have been a gigantic thorn in The Nightmare’s side for weeks. First, Martinez intervened in Ripley’s bout against Dakota Kai, costing her a potential NXT Women’s Championship opportunity against Io Shirai.

Teaming up last month with Shotzi Blackheart to face Martinez and Robert Stone Brand compatriot Aliyah, Ripley fired back with a devastating powerbomb to Martinez on the concrete.

That wasn’t enough to keep Martinez at bay. She again antagonized Ripley two weeks ago, ambushing her during a tag team match against Kai and Raquel González, costing her another victory.

Now, Ripley’s looking to put an end to her issue with Martinez once and for all in an unforgiving Steel Cage Match. But with Martinez more than eager for a battle, who will emerge victorious?

Austin Theory interfered in Bronson Reed's bout against Timothy Thatcher on NXT Super Tuesday, causing The Aus-zilla to demand a match versus Theory. Reed will get his wish this Tuesday on USA Network.

The animosity between Reed and Theory started on the Aug. 26 edition of NXT, when Theory mocked The Thicc Boi's defeat at NXT TakeOver XXX, earning a slap for his efforts.

Theory got the better of Reed this past Tuesday when he attacked The Aus-zilla from behind, but will he come to regret the attack?

Does not feel as super this go around tbh

 

[Dale]

It's hard to top the stakes for the main event the week prior but I still think those top 2 matches pretty loaded, easily Takeover calibre matches.

 

[Chris]

I haven't been caring about Rhea vs Stone at all tbh, Stone has been hilarious but it really feels like a waste of Rhea

My boy Theory gonna job. Sad.

I’ll be here for the show.

for why? Hopefully got a big thing planned for the main event...wouldn't be surprised if the title match had fuckery

I know a draw isn't necessarily fuckery but surely they can't do back to back weeks of not having a definitive clean winner.

Guess they did some big spot in the cage match

 

[Chris]

If they do the fuckery in the beginning and then have a new champion crowned in some different main event I think it will be forgiven.

 

[Cwalker]

60 minutes to not crown a Champion and then fuckery to start the next show??

Yeah I'm with ya with that statement. Shotzi vs Stone has been more entertaining to me. I don't get it for Rhea why care about this feud with Mercedes in her situation? She's a former Champion and the usual viewer could care less about Mercedes so it's more of trying to bring her to the dance rather than helping Rhea I feel. I still need to see NXT from last week and Payback tonight, but it's no shock to see Balor vs Cole for all the Marbles. I'm hoping we get that Finn rub!

I think Rhea and Mercedes should have a fun match at least, thank God they added someone else to it instead of just Aliyah
