WWE NXT May 21, 2024 - Wes Lee vs Ivar vs Josh Briggs in North American Title #1 Contender's Match

[Y2Jayne]

Why can't they just put Ridge back with Sheamus or NCR? Chase U doesn't need another guy.

 

[Chris]

Chase U is kinda becoming a crutch for booking tbh it's over so they just stick people in it when they don't have real plans it seems to me. It worked for Duke long term (will never believe that was the plan tho) and it worked for Jacy short term (in a mess of an angle) but it's not working for Ridge at all for me

 

[Y2Jayne]

Duke's turn is long overdue, although he was entertaining at first as the teacher's pet.

Remember when everybody on 2.0 was horny and Persia was all over him?

Karmen winning her first main event match

Did they ever acknowledge Reggie's departure on TV btw?

Did they ever acknowledge Reggie's departure on TV btw?

No, and he was still on OTM’s entrance graphic for a bit too after he was already gone.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Him and Gulak are gonna come back as a zombie tag team

 

[Y2Jayne]

No, and he was still on OTM’s entrance graphic for a bit too after he was already gone.

Well, I guess there was a short period when they weren't sure if he was going to be back or not. They said Gulak got concrete shoes so I find it weird Reggie just disappeared and not a single OTM member seems to care (kayfabe wise).

What a jump

 

[Bad News Booty]

On a taped show at that

Must be Lola’s ass in the main event

 

[Chris]

I might be wrong but I feel like other than holidays, taped shows have not made a difference at all the last year or so, whether it's WWE taping before they go overseas or AEW taping Collision earlier. I haven't seen a pattern at least

 

[Chris]

Also maybe this is also just me too but if feel like I never even notice they're taped anymore like I used to, I forgot this one was until the stupid 3 way finish happened and I remembered reading it

 

[Bad News Booty]

That is because your memory rivals that of a 90 year old that smoked weed their whole life

She’s a draw
