NXT I just never watched so don’t care about a stoner calling himself a dude and the fat dude who looks like winning

Solid show.

Riddle vs Ohno was a lot of fun, I dug the main event too. I liked the progression of Dakota Kai’s turn and her entrance video was a nice touch, and the build to Shayna vs Rhea was decent.

Next week is going to be fire with that triple threat.

I'd rather watch this live over AEW, but alas.....stupid CRTC didn't let em go live and try pass off some one hour edited show on Friday as some kind of treat.....luckily the network airs it in full on Thursdays.

Further proves that I was right when I said all this is going to be is trading the same audience and reaffirms my point about the rasslin bubble being smaller than most people think it is.

It is the holiday season so people are spending more time with their families and friends, or out shopping for said family and friends

Pretty solid show, I thought Garza and Rush stole the show what a fun match that was. Main event was really good, was hoping for Lee but I’m okay with Balor and I don’t see him winning against Cole next week tbh.

Rush vs. Garza was an amazing match. High octane, high animosity with both men putting it all on the line. They had really clever transitions and counters to show that they've learned from their previous matches together. They totally worked their entire rivalry into the match. Rush was a great Cruiserweight Champion and while I would have liked a longer title reign for him, it was a good choice to go with Garza while he's hot. I can watch these to wrestle each other more.

So no one else saw NXT's fire of a Episode this Week? Balor vs Cole was a hell of an opener with two different eras of NXT clashing vs each other showing who is the best. Both guys took some to get going, but when they did some great stuff between the two. I knew Gargano would show up thought he would show up at the last Takeover, but we are in for a treat when Gargano and Balor finally meet. Match of the Year quality stuff I feel coming between the two. Priest had a one hard fought win over Dain this Week one of his best showings under the circumstances. Dain worked to death his Rib injury and Priest sold really well and overcame the pain to beat Dain!

I'm not happy with Grimes getting a win over KUSHIDA this Week guys. KUSHIDA just came back, his only loss was against Walter and yet you have him lose to Grimes just stupid I feel. Grimes I've seen in Impact and that Wrestler vs Grimes in NXT is the same I feel. Actually Impact let him talk and create some kind of Character and I don't see anything special going on with him so far. The last thing I wanna see is KUSHIDA just being there as a talent they can do big things with him if they use him the right way. Shirai vs Garrett. Oh hey Io people forgot about you it seems because it's felt like she hasn't been on in Months. Good to see her get a win in a good showing vs Santana this Week. The money Match for me is Rhea vs Io let's do it people!

Banks vs Dunne. A World's Collide Preview that had Banks looking like a star again, but losing to Dunne. I would say it's one of his best performances for Banks. WWE has wanted to see this from him since signing him more of that from Banks is a good thing for sure.

Baszler vs Ripley. What a great payoff in this very good Main Event this Week. Rhea was put through the Waters throughout and kept her Will strong and it was never broken. I thought quite a few times Rhea was finished and somehow she was able to keep going. Rhea winning cleans the board for fresh matchups and I can't wait to see her future as NXT Women's Champion going forward.

This show was fuckin' great. Cole/Balor ft. Gargano's return ruled. Bit of a lull in the middle for me but it was still solid stuff, especially Priest/Dain. Also enjoyed the main event even though the match itself wasn't as good as I expected, but Rhea winning and the celebration fuckin' ruled. Great payoff to Shayna's big villain run, just a little surprised they gave it away on free TV.

It’s obvious WWE sees Ripley as a huge star of the future. That celebration was awesome. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Shayna now. I doubt they put the belt on her for a 3rd time so I’m guessing main roster soon. It is almost Rumble season

I feel like Shayna has gotta be the one to dethrone Becky right since there is going to be literally nobody else left for her past the Rumble. If it does happen, I hope they don't bring her 2 goons up straight away.

Then again i've literally been wrong about everything Becky since she won at Mania so watch it be someone trash like Jax or something.
