If the Paul Ellering chapter of AOP ended in NXT, maybe it's time Paul found a new chapter in NXT.

So War Machine are now The War Raiders?

 

[Chris]

Vince doesn't like the word Machine anymore

 

[Dale]

Not to mention you don't get the most pleasant results when you search War Machine too.

 

[Deezy]

War Machine was a guy who is in jail for 50 years for beating the fuck out of his girlfriend....Rosenberg actually mistook the team for him....do the math.

 

[Chris]

Damn I just thought it was bc of black iron man tbh makes sense tho

 

[Apoho Creed]

Yeah War Machine is a better name than War Raiders, but the name might grow on me. No matter the name they are going to tear shit up. As for Kairi yeah don't know how to feel about the color in her hair, she's cute without it I'm happy to see Kairi is the next in line it seems to be Shayna's dancing partner. The other day I watched a Match from Kairi in Stardom and man she's lost alot of weight. She was really thicker in Stardom, it must be the crazy training they are going through at the Performance Center down there.

I also figured it was a trademark issue with Marvel.

I read recently Iconic Duo became The IIconics (Yes, they spell it like that) to trademark it.

NXT preview, April 18, 2018: Monster mash redux: Dain, Sullivan to clash in No Disqualification Match

A jam-packed edition of NXT is on tap for tonight, as hard-hitting hosses Killian Dain and Lars Sullivan clash in a No Disqualification Match, the beloved Johnny Gargano makes his return, Ricochet debuts at Full Sail University and Candice LeRae battles Zelina Vega.

Batten down the hatches because two of the ring's two most gargantuan forces, Killian Dain and Lars Sullivan, are set to collide in a monstrous rematch on WWE NXT. Unlike the last time The Beast of Belfast and The Freak battled one-on-one — a hard-hitting encounter that ended without a victor when other competitors in TakeOver: New Orleans’ North American Title Match rushed the ring — tonight’s clash will be a No Disqualification Match. That opens the door to endlessly destructive possibilities.

Both supersized Superstars have already called out one another on Twitter, signifying the bad intentions at play:


Who will emerge as the king mastodon when these pugilistic pachyderms lock horns? Expect a hoss fight of epic proportions, amplified by a lawless leniency, as SAnitY’s show-stealing colossus and the Rocky Mountain monster do battle on WWE NXT, streaming tonight at 8/7 C on WWE Network.

Vindicated and reinstated, Johnny Gargano appears live before the NXT Universe

Johnny Gargano’s cathartic victory against former best friend Tommaso Ciampa in an Unsanctioned Match at TakeOver: New Orleans is unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon. The triumph not only settled Gargano’s score with The Blackheart, but it paved the way for Johnny Wrestling to return as a full-time competitor to the brand he so dearly loves, NXT.

Tonight on WWE Network, Gargano will appear live before the NXT Universe at Full Sail University for the first time since TakeOver: New Orleans. Now that he has vanquished Ciampa once and for all, what does the future hold for Johnny Wrestling? Don’t miss Gargano’s hero’s return when NXT streams on the award-winning WWE Network.

Ricochet makes his Full Sail University debut

Following his dazzling performance at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans in the NXT North American Championship Six-Man Ladder Match, Ricochet competes in his debut match in front of the NXT Universe at Full Sail University. What will the “future of flight” have in store as he tries to build off his impressive debut? Find out as the NXT’s One and Only attempts to continue his ascension tonight.

Candice LeRae and Zelina Vega will finally throw down in a match

After months of building tension due to the contentious conflict between Johnny Gargano and Andrade “Cien” Almas, Candice LeRae and Zelina Vega will finally square off in a sanctioned bout on WWE NXT. Although she and Almas moved to SmackDown LIVE in the Superstar Shake-up, with her client’s recent NXT Title loss to Aleister Black, Vega will certainly not be in a pleasant mood heading into the bout, which is the first WWE NXT match for both her and LeRae. However, it was LeRae who had to watch her husband constantly antagonized by Zelina during his rivalry with Almas, causing her to develop strong disdain for Vega. Which Superstar will settle the score by securing a victory?

What ruckus will The War Raiders wreak next?

Following their destructive debut on WWE NXT, the black-and-yellow brand’s newest tag team, The War Raiders, have clearly put every other tandem in NXT on notice. Rowe & Hanson decimated Heavy Machinery and Riddick Moss & Tino Sabbatelli last week, leaving an instant impression of doom and despair for anyone daring enough to step to them. With The War Raiders having already caused a trail of turbulence, what dread will The War Raiders drum up next?

Seems like an action packed week of NXT! I'm probably most excited to finally see Vega mix it up!

 

[Cwalker]

Kinda feel like Gargano needs to go for the Championship again. Anything else makes bringing him back irrelevant

 

[Deezy]

Just had one match in this blood feud.

Just had one match in this blood feud.

Something tells me Ciampa isn't finished with him yet.

He's already tweeting he didn't really lose because the match was unsanctioned and doesn't count.

 

[Jimmy King]

I’m excited for Candice’s in ring nXt TV debut and for Ricochet’s Full Sail debut.

 

[Deezy]

Zelina Vega in wrestling gear....I'm gonna watch this with no pants on.

This guy knows.
