WWE NXT June 11, 2024 - Wendy Choo wakes up, Singapore Cane match, Battleground fallout

[Chris]

Still a great number especially year over year but damn I really thought the PLE hype and Cody woulda done more

 

[Cwalker]

Bro NXT been doing aight lately

 

[Chris]

I think it's the only wrestling show up YOY. A little bit of that is bc Raw and SD were hotter first tho. NXT didn't have that Becky and Dom stuff until later in 23

 

[Chris]

I thought they were gonna beat dynamite this week but they'd have to have a real bad week for it to happen now, goodbye hilarious discourse

 

[Chris]

I do think next week with the battle royal and surprises teased could get a decent bump too, last week was up after the Ethan and jordynne stuff and I noticed the raw ad plugged them two specifically and was like "you never know who shows up on NXT" so rn the prohibited portal seems to be a draw

 

[Dale]

Was Cody advertised on Raw?

 

[Chris]

That was when the officially announced he'd be there and showed the graphic yeah, before Raw it was just he tweet of him saying he might show up

 

[Dale]

That's more surprising to me then over not having a post PLE bump. Heard the PLE delivered but with no real shock results (I don't count the NA ladder match) I can't say it's not too surprising as there wasn't a hook heading into this show, especially looking at what was advertised too.

 

[Chris]

I don't think they really advertised the "who will Roxanne face next" before either which probably would have helped people tuning in for PLE hype but at the same time that was a bit of a dud of a segment so may have been good in hindsight

 

[Dale]

Yeah, if you looked at the preview you wouldn't really think you were coming off of a PLE. Very run of the mill lineup to put it kindly.

 

[Chris]

Yeah and with Cody doing the battle royal announcement that took away and speculation of what next for trick which is what I would have been most intrigued by personally

 

[Chris]

Still a good number and one week of a rating doesn't really mean shit tho, so nothing we'll ever have a real answer on lol

 

[Dale]

They gotta plug the shit out of that Battle Royal though, the whole thing about different locker rooms being involved definitely has people intrigued. Tin foil hat on for that because I can see it just being Raw & SD folks who show up and not someone from TNA

 

[Chris]

The implications was definitely people outside of WWE, I'd give NOAH a long shot just bc idk their schedule rn if it's feasible for anyone. But for a battle royal it can literally just be a body for them to say "it's so and so from such and such" as long as there's one decent surprise, I think everyone is happy

 

[Chris]

Also I do think they'll plug the shit out of it on Raw judging by how they plugged last week's episode, there's always 2 or 3 commercials anyway and sometimes they're very "clickbaity" for a lack of a better term, which I think are exactly what you want these ads to be lmao
