Wow, Emma really f***ed up that finish.
Good cover by Charlotte and Becky in the worked-shoot beatdown. Charlotte looked legit pissed.

Bull Fit? More like Bull Shit! Excuse the vulgarity. Loved the pop that SAWFT/Hype Bros got against Dawson-Wilder/Jordan-Gable. Big Cass and Enzo are naturals in my opinion. I don't understand Corbin's demand to be in Dusty Tag Team tournament. Did they drop the feud with Joe? I appreciate the high quality video presentations of each character. It gives me, a new NXT fan, a better idea of who these people are and why they matter. That's how you sell something new to an audience. It works in ECW and it sure as hell is working in NXT. I didn't read the spoilers of the womens match. Watching that now. Judging by the spoilers, everything in NXT is getting dropped for the Dusty to start. As we get closer to Takeover:October, they'll be picking up some other stuff.

Props to the ref for making the three count in the Fatal Four Way and sticking to the decision. Emma quickly bounced back from the surprise win and heeled it up, and personally any chance Ibget to hear her awesome new theme I take anyday of the week (and twice on Saturdays-- get it cause NXT used the Saturday ppv to air two shows on one wakka wakka!)

Wow, that felt like a long episode. Loved the Cass/Enzo pop. That one was legendary.
Eva Marie looks great. I think she'll be a Divas champion one day.
Well geez, I like the new Bull Dempsey.
I love THE DRIFTER who carries a guitar around to look cool.
Dana Brooke looks downright terrifying.
The ending to the main event was clearly a botch. That was funny.
I think Becky might be the breakout star of the Four Horsewomen. She reminds me of Lita for some reason.

For some reason, I thought they'd get a rematch. I blame it on John Cena and his abuse of the "rematch clause". I look forward to seeing what Joe can do with the rest of the roster. Corbin never stood a chance but he did break out a submission hold instead of the usual "hit the ropes, hit the end of days, pin" routine.

Why are people so harsh on others? I just started watching NXT not too long ago. Forgive me if I'm not as sharp as the long-term viewers.

Corbin never stood a chance but he did break out a submission hold instead of the usual "hit the ropes, hit the end of days, pin" routine. Typically with Cena, it's a title rematch. NXT basically builds small feuds to the next event, then goes on. Not too many re-occurring matches, especially for Takeovers. More of the reason why NXT is so over. We get to see new matchups every week.

If you think that was too harsh a reply perhaps you should avoid saying any NXT female f***ed up anything in any future NXT thread. Most of us are fiercely loyal to these workhorsewomen

I just genuinely wanted to know what made you think Emma screwed the spot up. It seemed odd cause there's nothing she could have done in the situation to fix it.

I figured she could have pulled Becky's arm up like I've seen some wrestlers do in order to gain a 2 count. Either way, I have no complaints about Emma winning. I dig her theme and I think she works better as a heel than a fan favorite.

Loved the ref pretty clearing saying "What happened? You won" to Emma I guess she asked what happened after getting the 3
I dunno why they planned on having Charlotte win I mean surely you'd want the next generation of NXT divas to look stronger to carry it going forward and damn did Charlotte come off as a major sore loser afterwards

Did I miss NXT starting an Inside Llewyn Davis gimmick or was this the first time they did it?

Dana Brooke and Eva Marie trolling the audience while they improve will never get old to me.
It is smart. You can't become great in ring over night so be a wind up merchant to get heat to tide you over. It is basic but smartly effective.

Inside Elias Sampson should come to the ring with a ginger cat.

That pop that Enzo & Cass got was incredible. Love how you can see how affected they were by it. Enzo had that deer in the headlights look for a moment. I like Big Cass's trunks, with the New York skyline on them, but I think he needs to wear a jacket or shirt, in his entrance, to better match up with Enzo.
Shame the Hype Bros exist, but what can you do?
I like the effort that NXT is putting into its tag teams. Giving them all team identities and teaming up guys who look right together, and work well together. They don't need massive amounts of character development if they're put on TV in recognisable teams and allowed to work.
The Drifter is an amusing heel gimmick, if he plays up the obnoxious poser aspect, like CJ Parker did. I liked Bull Fit more than I ever liked Last of a Dying Breed, Bull Dempsey. It seems to play to his strengths more, and he's genuinely likeable in this role.
Alexa Bliss is getting really good at heeling it up on the microphone. She plays that alpha bitch role so well.
I think Eva Marie is doing okay. She's got the character down, and can get reactions from that alone, even if her in-ring skills don't amount to much yet. She exudes arrogance, which is what would make her a good foe for Bayley.
Loved the pop that Becky got. That felt nice, and the energy she has is infectious. I really liked the video they did for her as well. As for the botched finish, I don't know who was at fault but I doubt they'd do anything other than take collective blame. I guess for a normal episode, they'd have time to redo it.

Alexa needs to go full Xavier Woods. She should be a motormouth who NEVER. SHUTS. UP. during #BAMF's matches.

Becky dwarfed Charlotte in crowd reaction.
Charlotte isn't over as a face that much. She is getting the family special treatment.

I greatly enjoyed the show.
Evil Emma with that music and pose is just so hot right now...
Charlotte winning would've been fine. This was probably supposed to be a send off for them in front of the huge crowd. Not a storyline put over for the next challenger.
