Was a good show and would have gotten an eight but the threat of continuing to shove Karrion Kross down everyone's throats is an instant -2. He absolutely sucks and NXT is getting docked points every time he shows up until further notice.

Good show, good main event. Can’t really ask for anything else. Only real negative is I’m back to being far off the Krosswagon. Next week is going to lose points when he kills off my guy Dijak.

I'll give it a nice 7
Lee had a good opening promo and the exchange between him and Dijak was fun
Priest vs Grimes was a fun and fast paced match
Thatcher trying to kill fools
Lee vs Dijak was a subdued but good match as usual between these two. Kross/Lee is being set up
Io vs Tegan was a good main event

I said it before but man Kross has not sold some people here, this was warned by people that if you can't get into his character it wasn't gonna be good and it's showing...

8. Good to really good matches. Really good videos and interviews setting up stuff. Everything making sense with all these feuds and future feuds.

10 OUTTA 10 MY WATER WAIFU CHALKS UP ANOTHA ONE!
8
This was a complete set up show
And it was wonderful....now we have the two title feuds set
And the undercard is start to gain some steam as well....Bum Fights the sequel , Killian Dain looks like he might be joining Robert Stone also maybe Indi Hartwell.
Only real downside tonight was barely any vingettes but on the other side it allowed for the matches to get the time needed especially the main event...normally you put women in a 30+ min match you get to points where it drags and this did not...they kept a perfect pace and came off great.

I think Kross should have jumped straight to the main roster. I really like the guy a lot but he doesn’t have that high octane move set you see in NXT and I think he would have been better suited on Raw.
Imagine him and Alastair Black doing cryptic spooky crap to each other.

Other Captain and myself have continually said it. Kross is a character first and foremost...his matches are not meant to be what pulls people in like say a Thatcher who is the complete opposite. I said it when they teased him going after the NXT title when he sent the hour glass to Cole and I say it now.....what is gonna make the feud with Lee will not be the match itself (that will be a bonus in this case) it is the build and character work to come. |

He is his character He's not going to be brooding and mysterious and then start doing dives and flips. We have said it non stop that he is an everything guy. Meaning, every little thing he does is meant to enhance the character and he isn't compromising on that He's already not the shouty crazy guy people expect. Pay attention to his promos and you see he is the thinking mans killer. He welcomes the fight and brings the fight to you. It is not even like he is indestructible. You have to give him time but yes, he has the full package to be champ out the door |

While I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying the responses here are definitely an indication that there are some people who care that Kross's in ring work is less than stellar even with the great character. Caused some peeps to turn I guess |

Na i'm not saying you disagreeing, i'm just repeating my talking points from before More so since he is getting the fast track to the NXT title, people haven't been able to "feel him" so he looks corny or whatever you want to call it |

Two great championship matches and two new challengers were established by the end of the show. Can’t ask for much more than that.

7 Karrion Kross googly eyes / 10
Keith Lee is such a damned good promo. He has a nice cadence like The Rock, but doesn't sound fake and rehearsed like Dwayne does.
The man could read me stereo instructions and make it sound like the most interesting thing.
Dude should have an ASMR channel.
Other than that, some solid matches, a lot of build went into this episode. I loved the Legado del Phantasma vignette, eps when he said "I took the cruiserweight championship from the side show to the main show". Such a great line.
And some nice Kai outta nowhere at the end. Which would mean more if she hadn't been pinned by Nox in every single match for the last 134 matches they've had together.
For now I fantasy book a Team Kick reunion where they're dastardly heels.
