I think Hit Row, like Finn and Io after they turned heel, will be too over with crowds to not turn face. But more than one face stable would be nice.

Hit Row will be faces soon. The crowd loves them too much not to be. Honestly, they don't have to change up what the do much at all to be faces.

They should not make the mistake of rushing this.

They need to get all they can out of them as a heel faction right now and let it build to where the audience is clammoring for it and also because you would need a heel faction that is riding that same level of heat to be able to turn them...because if they turn face now...who are they facing? Legado IMO has exhausted their heel run , UE is dead and done , Diamond Mine just started and idk if they have the legs to be the faction with enough heat that it allows HitRow to turn babyface.

I think Raquel retains tonight, if just for the fact that Takeover is just a little over a month away. I think if she loses the title, it'll be there. And even then I'm not convinced she will drop it since Triple H likes her just as much as he likes Kross and we all know how he thinks of Kross.

I also don't see them putting the title on Xia Li considering she legitimately hurt Mercedes and is still very green.

Its more likely Io and Zoey lose their tag titles before the NXT Women's Title changes hands to be honest. Zoey just isn't clicking and she's dragging Io down with her. I am also starting to warm up to the idea of Io moving up to the main roster right after Summerslam and beating Nikki for the RAW Women's Title.

Just have their disses be against heels and you’ve got babyface Hit Row perfectly.

I’m really looking forward to more of Butler Grimes. To the Toilet! Also I’m a fan of Kross but he needs to drop the title pronto if he’s going to be on the main roster now. Not a fan of guys appearing on the main roster without dropping titles first. Lastly we need more…..DOG.

NXT is going to get its ass kicked tonight against the NBA Finals

In fact the next three weeks about to be rough with the Olympics too

UNLESS the Olympics are cancelled at the very last minute

Would anyone be good if they just strap the rocket to LA Knight and he unifys the Million Dollar and NXT titles?

Sure, why not? He's obviously one of the best talkers they have, and I think he's also pretty decent in the ring.

Vince may hate NXT, but I don't. f*** Vince McMahon!


I hope they do some changes and just put on an insanely good show.

And that seems to be a very distinct possibility with Covid cases at the Olympic village climbing rapidly.

If you look at the overall roster, honestly, who's left that's ready to be called up?

Is Adam Cole the only true lock?

I am so very intriguided with the direction they choose to go.

Either they do what was done to them clean the slate lastnight is never aknowledged not by commentary not by any wrestlers (yea wont stop fans sadly) and immediatelt go into Joe and Kross and let that play out but never bring Kross out in front of the audience tonight.

Or try and nip this in the bud from the get go have Kross come out and just basically shoot from a legit place try to get ahead of the audience on this one.

There are plenty who are more than ready but after lastnight do any of them pull a Ciampa now and threaten to quit if they are being called up just to avoid it because lastnight had to be the warning sign of all warning signs.

Lack of personality aside, Raquel seems main roster ready. I'd have her drop the title at Takeover and put her on Backdown to be Zelina's muscle.

I'm still sad Damo was let go, but I'm glad they haven't forgotten about Drake Maverick.

Franky Monet will be in action tonight per WWE.com.
