Thank god they had the courage to put Jey over. Man can’t be a main eventer if he doesn’t win. Now the real question is who wins next week when he takes on Gunther

 

[Sabretooth]

I’m also glad Carlito shaved off the fucking mustache. The chin beard is way better.

 

[Storm Trooper]

How is that mUNCHKIN Noam Dar a title contender? Sure he's entertaining but cmon......Trick needs someone more formidable.

Jakara Jackson elevates anyone she's around. Also to be fair for a first defense it is typically a good idea to have someone who you know the champion will beat.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Nxt got gutted , not sure what he expects . There's gonna be some easy defenses to start n then I'm guessing ull get like dijak or smth. Kind of skipped all the legit guys to main roster so...ya idk doesn't seem shocking they need to build ppl back up while they restock. It's fine to have easy defenses in between serious feuds

 

[Chris]

I predicted Dijak or Pillman but Dijak got drafted back to Raw and this is way better than King so I'm cool with it lmao

 

[Cwalker]

I kinda figured it would be King too.

Dar surprised tf outta me but I’m not complaining

 

[JakeYourBooty]

“Him small he not not viable challenge”


Nevermind they’ve got the angle with Trick and Lash to go with it.

it's all about the Lash angle like a Booty said. Also they're probably trying to get Trick to work with as many seasoned guys as they can instead of the green PC dudes

 

[JakeYourBooty]

I said I thought it was gonna be Dar just cuz of the angle had already started and it’s shocking how much I’m enjoying Lash in it. Her face turn gonna be great. Darr’s size is the stupidest reason against this feud especially when he’s not that much smaller than Melo and Dragonov

Spears next

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Spears vs. Trick 3 match feud be great

 

[Chris]

That would probably be a good match for Trick but they've barely pushed Spears any really. Maybe it's just bc I'm flat on the Ridge angle but it feels like he's def in a jobber to the stars role even on NXT

I like Spears I think all it takes is after the Noam match have Spears clean his clock with a chair
