WWE Makes Handcuff Flub on This Week's NXT Show
During this week's edition of NXT, William Regal handcuffed Johnny Curtis' left wrist to Maxine's right wrist. Later in the program, Curtis and Maxine were shown backstage still handcuffed together, but the handcuffs had switched arms on both superstars.

No big deal but did anyone else notice it during this weeks NXT?

 

[Chris]

Ha, I didn't notice it, but that's pretty funny.

 

[Andrew]

Haven't watched NXT yet, forgot to tape it last night.

i'll check on Youtube.

 

[Chris]

NXT was decent this week, not as good as last week. I liked the main event, but hated what they did with Hawkins/Reks.

Superstars was lackluster as well this week. Truth/Swagger was the best match and it was pretty boring. Crowd was really hot though, that was a plus.

 

[AZUCAR!]

I liked NXT this week. Thought it was better than last weeks.

Next week will be interesting. No Titus/Young or Hawkins/Reks, so it should be interesting to see how WWE intends to replace those 4

 

[Chris]

I expect Hawkins/Reks to be back soon, not sure how though, but I honestly expect something good, like them coming out of the crowd and attacking people during matches and stuff, kinda like what Cena did in 2010 to get reinstated.

 

[Andrew]

I see Johnny Ace signing Hawkins/Reks on RAW.

Someone asked Reks on Twitter and he replied with we'll have to see if Johnny Ace needs me or not.

It'd be a storyline going around I guess, three hour raw can be slotted with a little segment like that.

With NXT next week, huge interest... Could the draft have effect on it when the draft does happen?

 

[Chris]

Hawkins tweeted the following: I'm so fired... I'm gonna kill @KILLSTEENKILL & @samicallihan on the indys. #NXT sucks

 

[AZUCAR!]

There isn't going to be a Draft, Andrew

 

[Chris]

I heard there was, despite there basically being no brands. Vince thought this would be a great year to have some huge moves since it really wouldn't affect anything because everyone would still appear on every show.

 

[Andrew]

Talks are June/July for draft

However with this said; NXT will be interesting next week to see who they use

 

[Aniking]

I wouldn't understand having Reks & Hawkins go back on Raw. Yeah, GO BACK, because they were Raw sueprstars up until a few weeks ago. They probably still are listed as Raw superstars but just appearing on NXT. If they have them sign Raw contracts, that makes no sense.

 

[Troy]

Don't need them to sign contracts as such, just have them appear in Johnny Ace's office and he can say that he seems potential in them and if Regal doesnt want them on NXT he will use them on RAW. Have they ever wrestled a tag team match on RAW? Also I checked out wwe.com and I couldn't find either of them listed anywhere.

 

[Aniking]

Also I checked out wwe.com and I couldn't find either of them listed anywhere.

That'd be because they're "fired". Hopefully their "firing" means they'll go back to Raw and actually used. If O'Neil & Young can win on Smackdown against the team that I think is the best tag team in the company, then Hawkins & Reks can at least be booked on at least one Raw a month and NOT be jobbed. Surely that's not too much to ask.

 

[Andrew]

With Titus O'Neil and Darren Young being moved from NXT to SmackDown, there are rumblings that a new tag team from FCW may make their debut on this week's NXT.

My thoughts are Bo Rotunda & Husky Harris or Corey Graves & Jake Carter who are current FCW Tag Champs.

But I'd kill to see Rollins/Ambrose as a tag.
