Is it bad I want the Ascension to get called up so they don't bog down NXT any longer?

When is the next NXT tapings, if anyone knows? Tomorrow night. Watching on Hulu right now. They got Alexa Bliss to do announcing from the Performance Center, as Byron Saxton is clearly shown in the ring, yet is one of the commentators on this show. Pretty embarrassing editing. |

Could make the argument that this was the worst NXT yet, enough though I enjoyed Bayley/Summer Rae, and the Neville/Breeze promo was fun. The announcing editing threw me off completely.

I know they're trying to also get the next generation of commentators, but some weeks, like this one, makes me wish for a Tensai-William Regal team |

I usually love NXT, but this one looks like you could shut it off after the first two matches.
BAYLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got to watch it early this week.
Most of my favorites were on last week, so I kind of expected this week to be a step down from last week.
The best part of the show Bayley/Summer Rae. Great character progression with Bayley. Previously she still wanted to be friends with the BFFs and she was a bit oblivious to their scheming. Now she was didn't fall for Summer's antics and she was more serious when she needed to be.
I didn't enjoy the announcing this week.
Big Cass v. Aiden English was okay. I can't help but think Big Cass looks too lanky to be intimidating, but he has become a more natural performer. Pairing English with Big Cass has helped him get heel heat, though the fans still wanted an encore.
I found Tyler Breeze to be very funny in his backstage segment with Neville. I don't see the NXT fans booing him, despite being paired with Neville.
Rusev beats another main roster superstar, though it's one who's still linked to NXT.
It's a shame Tyson isn't being featured on the main roster. I was hoping Total Divas was going to help him on the main roster.
I hope Ascension v. Hunico y Camacho is done. We saw the return of the bicycles (unless I just didn't notice it on previous episodes). I guess Hunico's full sleeves are meant to hide his tattoo since he shows the tattoo as Sin Cara, though he wore that outfit before he became Sin Cara again.
Overall, it was an average show, though the Bayley/Summer match and Tyler Breeze's interaction with Neville were good parts of the show.

The show started great with Bayley/Summer Rae and Big Cass v Aiden Boy and then it went downhill, hitting rock bottom with the main event.
I hope Enzo returns on the next set of tapings in any capacity. Colin is awesome but if they had Enzo as a manager in wheelchair during this match the fans would've gone bonkers.

The only enjoyable thing this episode was Breeze trolling Neville & the only enjoyable match was the divas match which lasted like 3 minutes, So If you asked me how boring NXT was today I would say, It's over 9000!
speaking of memes ... Yeeeah, If The Ascension can just like go away & take Camacho with them, that'd be great

I hope that Prince Pretty squashes Dumbo. I want him to have a Goldberg-esque run.

Tyler Breeze's voice is so annoyingly awesome.
The announcing was so odd on this, I glad I wasn't the only one that noticed it. Byron was the good guy milquetoast that needed Regal to fight for him just a couple of weeks ago, all of a sudden he was a heel for this one. I didn't realize he was doing ring introductions, but I could tell they were post-dubbed. Kind of a mess of an episode.

Yeah, this wasn't a great showing. I just hope we're done with the Ascension/Hunico & Camacho matches now. Also there just wasn't really anthing of note that happened. Also who was the idiot who claimed Kidd's Blockbuster move was named the Twisting Neck Destroyer Device? I'm guessing Riley. That guy needs a gag asap.
On the bright side we're getting that Neville/Breeze that I was hoping for. So things should start looking up.

underwhelming show. whenever Sami, Neville or Cesaro aren't participating, chances are you won't see a really good match

Loved Bayley winning with the Hugplex and the promo between Breeze and Neville was great. Both of them were fantastic at making a confrontation between two wrestlers sound like a real conversation. Also Breeze turns more and more into Zoolander every week. I'm just waiting for him to get "the black lung"

I facepalmed because I've seen Riley himself actually DO that move before, yet he's acting like it's something that he's never seen before. Good job trying to put over Kidd as being "innovative". But....no. |

Only just catching up with NXT now. What on earth were the crowd chanting during the main event. It sounded like they were chanting "Yargh" like a pirate!!!
