WWE NXT Discussion Thread

Glad WWE is giving Corey Graves a going away video package on NXT.

I can't imagine how soul crushing that must be to be told that you can't compete in the ring anymore.

My favourite part was Graves burying the guitar guy

WWE NXT preview, Feb. 15, 2017: Tyler Bate makes first defense of U.K. Championship against Trent Seven

History will be made on toinight's episode of NXT, as the WWE United Kingdom Championship will be defended for the first time ever. Reigning champion Tyler Bate will put his title on the line against his longtime friend, tag team partner and trainer, Trent Seven. Don't miss this epic battle, tonight at 8/7 C, exclusively on WWE Network!

Tonight’s edition of NXT will feature a history-making matchup, as the WWE United Kingdom Championship will be defended for the first time ever when Tyler Bate puts his title on the line against Trent Seven.

Bate, a 19-year-old wonder from Dudley, England, skyrocketed into superstardom by winning four incredible matches over two days this past January to become the first-ever WWE United Kingdom Champion. He also impressed on the Feb. 1 edition of NXT from San Antonio, where he defeated the hard-hitting Oney Lorcan.

However, the champion’s first defense will be an emotional one, as he is very familiar with Seven. Bate and the man from Moustache Mountain are longtime friends and tag team partners. They’re also the reigning PROGRESS Wrestling Tag Team Champions. Not to mention, Seven had a hand in training the 19-year-old. Surely, Seven will be looking to put all of that aside and build on his performance in the United Kingdom Championship Tournament – where he made it to the Quarterfinals – by capturing the title.

Will Tyler Bate continue to wow the WWE Universe, or will Trent Seven return to Moustache Mountain with the WWE United Kingdom Championship? Find out during NXT, tonight at 8/7 C, exclusively on WWE Network!

Liv Morgan & mystery partner vs. Billie Kay & Peyton Royce

For months, Billie Kay & Peyton Royce have been tormenting Liv Morgan. The feisty New Jersey native finally got one up on the 2016 NXT Breakout Stars of the Year last week on WWE Network in a singles match against Kay, using Royce’s meddling to her advantage, creating a distraction that allowed her to roll up Kay and win the battle.

Later that night, the self-proclaimed “iconic” duo went NXT General Manager William Regal, demanding a rematch with Morgan. Regal gave them what they were looking for, putting them into a tag match with Morgan and a partner of her choosing. Kay & Royce laughed at the prospect of the match, declaring that their opponent “doesn’t have any friends.”

Will Morgan force Kay & Royce to eat their words, or will the Breakout Stars of the Year continue to assert their dominance in the NXT women’s division? Find out tonight at 8/7 C, only on WWE Network!

Andrews and Dunne to battle in WWE United Kingdom Tournament rematch

Last week,
WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate successfully defended his title against his tag team partner and fellow WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament participant, Trent Seven. Tonight, two more tourney competitors will battle on NXT, as Mark Andrews faces Pete Dunne.

Dunne and Andrews are no strangers to one another, having met in the semifinals of the WWE U.K. Tournament. Dunne came out on top in their previous contest, but the high-flying Andrews is a seasoned veteran, with the speed and agility to get around Dunne’s ground-and-pound style.

Dunne has quickly gained a reputation within the WWE Universe as a ruthless rebel who doesn’t listen to authority. The mean Brit has already been warned by General Manager William Regal that his behavior in the WWE Network tournament – when he unleashed multiple post-match attacks against his opponents – will not fly in NXT. But will “The Bruiserweight” listen?

See how this must-see showdown between Mark Andrews and Pete Dunne unfolds, tonight at 8/7 C on WWE Network.
