NXT [EPISODE #471] ‣ TUESDAY 24 AUGUST, 2021 REVIEW:
- Good intro with the voiceover recapping High Stakes which really was an awesome show. Everything changed indeed, and I can’t wait to see the fall out on this show.
- I liked the use of Bate & Trent for the opening segment to give Dunne a real moment and it makes the win at High Stakes feel like such a big deal. The use of the “Ace” is great as well because it gives the match importance.
I loved the promo from Dunne, very on brand for him. The first showdown with Bronson was nice as well - excited to see what’s to come.
- Great promo from LA Knight (YEEAAAAHH!) and I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned before but LA Inc? Interesting! Also some seeds being planted in the relation of Knight & Cal. The use of Tony at High Stakes was perfect - so nice to see that continued here.
- Good opening match with Swerve picking up the win! Seems like a cross-roads for Roddy Strong after the defeat despite another good performance.
- I LOVED that segment with Kyle, Roddy & Bobby Fish. Your character work for Bobby has been the highlight of this BTB for me and again this was a really cool moment with three men who all have such history but seemingly on their own paths. Good stuff.
- Nice segment with Persia & Indi to continue the story with Indi being led to be something she isn’t and the interaction with some of the female tag teams.
- Light work for the returning Ember Moon as it should be picking up the win
- I can appreciate what you’re doing with the Brand, and trying to make something out of nothing from the IRL group that didn’t really do anything or even get the chance but so far hasn’t really intrigued me. I think you got the Franky Monet character down though, I think it’s just the other two feel beneath her in the sense that they’re kinda average, which wasn’t how I felt seeing Mandy Rose with Jayce & Gigi for example when toxic attraction became a thing.
- Pete Dunne giving zero fucks Haha! Poor Lorcan - This was another good segment and I’m already enjoying Dunne as the ‘Ace’ and this seemingly I’m untouchable now attitude he’s carrying around - Really suits him
- Good win for Mercedes as expected and the promo afterwards was good too!
- Killian Dain vs Finn Balor? Ooo, that could be fun!
- Lucha House Party coming to NXT - Okay, cool. Let's see what you have planned. Nice job with the little voiceover as well - small details that really add to the show.
- Small details again but I love them - so I enjoyed the little voiceover and package for the next TakeOver and how returning to Brooklyn feels like such a big deal. The GFX is nice as well man as always from you.
- Reed & KUSHIDA? What a mix that is Haha! I liked the reasoning though and after losing the NXT Cruiserweight Championship it still keeps KUSHIDA feeling important being in the Main Event to come and teaming with the Champ, Champ.
- I’m really enjoying LA Knight and how the relationship with Cal is developing. Dominant win from Lannister and an early message sent to Tony D.
- Private? Nooo! I want to know what the news is from Tegan Knox Haha! Dammit.
- Love the vignette from Legado and El Gran Jefe! Been enjoying this and along with the Bobby Fish character, it’s probably been my favorite two things of the BTB until now. We also get the name reveal of Don Reyes. Interesting. I think I might have been inclined not to name him and kept him cloaked in mystery as Gran Jefe.
- Good Main Event here! Right winner but again a nice rub for KUSHIDA who is rewarded with an NXT Championship match. It’s obvious he’s not going to win but it’s cool how despite losing the NXT Cruiserweight Championship he’s almost now become elevated.
I really enjoyed the show as I always seem to. It’s never easy coming off a PPV especially once as big as High Stakes where so much happened and now you’ve got to set the table again with some new stories etc - but you did a really good job. The show was loaded but I think the only miss was maybe not having Ciampa appear on the show as the new NXT Cruiserweight Championship - especially as so much importance went to KUSHIDA who lost the match that maybe some of them could have gone on the new Champion. That said, so much talent, and so little time - so I’m sure he will get his moment.

NXT EVOLVE [EPISODE #08] ‣ THURSDAY 26 AUGUST, 2021 REVIEW:
- What a better way to get the show up and running then a promo from the Virtuoso of Violence! Great stuff as always with the Infamous one; Bobby Fish.
- Fish picks up the win, and I enjoyed the way he won the match with the submission and the holding it longer than he needed to after the match had ended - just given that impression that he likes hurting people and finds solace in the violence.
- Kudos on creating some intrigue using Blade, Enofe & Ruff alongside Carmelo. Interesting approach from Ruff seemingly unhappy being a bit-part player and an extra in the story - not sure there’s ever going to be a time where he will be the main role but we will see
- La Visión picked up the win and again it’s the right choice for me. I like the feel of this trio, it just seems like a really nice fit for all of them. Badly need some female tag teams in this division so the ‘Main Roster’ thanks you for your contributions Haha!
- Not really feeling the Ever-Rise/Bivens stuff and this was a miss for me if I’m being honest but a show should always have a variety and never going to enjoy everything in most scenarios so all good
- Really cool vignette for the Untouchables! I enjoyed that. Very creative and again I feel like I say it every review but you’re so good at using people who are not the obvious and trying to give them a purpose like you’re doing with these two.
- Good match next and the result surprised me, not going to lie. Nice win for Sterling & Baxter though!
- Enjoyed the vignette from Tian Sha - intrigued to see what’s going to come next.
- Also enjoyed the promo and exchange between Jacy, Gigi & Dakota. Having Jacy & Gigi starting together on Evolve is great to see.
- Fun exchange with Ruas & Roddy Strong with the Diamond Mine overarching story.
- Who doesn’t love a bit of backstage drama? Enjoyed this as well with all the different characters and stories intertwining together - Gigi to leave Cora and side with Jacy? I could see the attraction..
- Nice little hype package for Bronson vs KUSHIDA - I fancy some shenanigans to ruin the match but we will see.
- Needed win for Tony D and it’s been a good introduction for him on NXT and now Evolve. Don of developmental got a giggle out of me Haha!
Enjoyed this show as well mate. I like the balance you have with many new faces but also sprinkled with a few known and some who need the reps so to speak. I like how you putting teams together across both shows with the Women’s tag division which is badly needed within our Universe > Good stuff man!
