WWE NXT Discussion Thread

It should also be noted that Vince didn't want WarGames at all and so Triple H comprised on the no roof to avoid not having it at all. I don't blame Triple H, he usually fights and gets what NXT needs. You can't win them all.

I refuse to believe Vince would’ve scrapped the whole match if Hunter didn’t stand down on the roof.

Doesn’t change the match at all cause I’m 99% sure that a majority of the live audience has never seen a War Games match

After promoting it no way, but I think Triple H just meant that it took WWE 20 years to get the match and he wasn't going to argue with Vince too hard over a roof. He's just glad he's this close to getting his WarGames off the ground.

As for judging it, I mean it should have a roof as a person that HAS seen WarGames, but I'll wait until I've actually seen the match before I complain about it. I'm just happy we're getting two rings as that's far more WarGames than a roof.

Vince didn't want WarGames because he didn't get the rules. ...I don't blame him.

too convoluted and makes everything not matter until everyone enters.

Depending on the match order, I can totally see Nikki Cross jumping off the cage onto the guys now it's been opened up.

That's a good point. I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Would be a nice awe-inspiring moment for the first NXT WarGames.

NXT preview, Nov. 22, 2017: Gargano challenges Dunne for the WWE United Kingdom Title

Johnny Gargano challenges Pete Dunne for the WWE United Kingdom Title, Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville look to settle their differences, and NXT wrestles with the fallout from TakeOver: WarGames.

Johnny Gargano’s singles slump meets The Bruiserweight and the WWE United Kingdom Title

Pete Dunne is looking for a fight, and he’s going to get one from Johnny Gargano. The WWE United Kingdom Champion issued an open challenge for his coveted title and NXT General Manager William Regal offered the opportunity to Johnny Wrestling.

Although he has been struggling since becoming a singles wrestler, Gargano gladly accepted the offer from Regal, and now he will look to not only put a stop to his singles slide, but do so while winning the WWE United Kingdom Title.

A victory for the Cleveland native will make him only the third Superstar to hold the WWE United Kingdom Title and the first American to hold the prized championship. Yet, Gargano will have to fight his way past the rugged Bruiserweight first.

Dunne is arguably one of the toughest all-around competitors in all WWE and someone who is always looking to unleash a beating on his opponent. Will Dunne make Gargano wish he never accepted this open challenge? Or will Dunne regret putting his title on the line?

Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville battle it out

SmackDown LIVE's Ruby Riot and Raw's Sonya Deville will look to settle their differences inside the squared circle tonight on NXT. The conflict between these two rival grapplers began when they battled along with Ember Moon in a Triple Threat Match to see who would qualify for a NXT Women’s Championship opportunity at TakeOver: WarGames.

Deville had Riot’s injured ankle trapped in a devastating Ankle Lock in the waning moments of the match, but instead of tapping, Riot gritted it out. As a result, Moon capitalized by hitting Deville with an Eclipse and pinning the injured Riot.

Two weeks ago, while Riot was getting her ankle examined by medical officials, Deville made it clear that she blames Riot's unwillingness to tap out for costing her a chance to compete for the NXT Women’s Title at TakeOver.

Now that Riot is fully healed, she will battle Deville to see who is the better Superstar. Will Riot’s ankle hold up against the fiery Deville? Or will Deville back up her promise and “break” Riot’s ankle before leaving for the Raw roster for good?

Will a shock to the system at WarGames change the future of NXT?

NXT TakeOver: WarGames was every bit as epic and chaotic as anticipated. There is a new NXT Champion in Andrade “Cien” Almas, a new NXT Women’s Champion in Ember Moon, and Undisputed ERA followed through on their promise to shock the system with a huge victory in the first WarGames Match in 20 years.

The landscape of NXT has changed drastically, and the future of sports-entertainment’s hottest brand is completely up in the air. What will the NXT Title picture look like now that Almas and Vega hold NXT’s top prize? Will Drew McIntyre’s injury at WarGames keep him out of title contention for the foreseeable future?

That’s not all, as NXT’s Women’s division has a Superstar other than Asuka as its champion for the first time in nearly 600 days. Who will try to dethrone NXT’s War Goddess?

Plus, what’s in store following the historic return of WarGames? The return of one of sports-entertainment’s most barbaric matches lived up to the hype as carnage reigned supreme and bodies were left strewn around two rings. In the end, it was Undisputed ERA who left the victors. They said they would shock the system upon arriving in NXT, and they did just that at WarGames. With Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly fresh off a momentous victory, what do they have planned for the NXT Universe next?

Not only that, but it's practically being as Raw vs. SDL despite them just getting there.

You would thinks so and if it were a shoot. But I got a feeling Paige-lite wins.

Ruby Riot really gotta fix that nose....makes her look like the birdie that chopped off the dick.

You have to love the geniuses who didn't inform these ladies they were literally wearing the opposite brands colors.

Sonya has a pretty impressive sliding leg sweep.
