A very good NXT. The Creed Brothers VS Grizzled Young Veterans was amazing. The Creed Brothers are future main eventers. And I’m glad that they dropped the stupid gimmicks that GYV were doing and they’re back to their NXT UK characters. Shouldn’t Wendy Choo & Amari Miller get arrested for stealing Tiffany Stratton’s credit card. Last week we saw, Kay Lee Ray stealing Mandy Rose’s car & kidnapping Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne. And now credit card theft. How come no one gets arrested? Wendy Choo VS Tiffany Stratton was OK. Stratton still has a lot to improve. Stupid segment with Draco Anthony, Joe Gacy, & Harland especially since Anthony has lost so many times on 205 Live, another loss to Andre Chase on NXT doesn't matter. Good interview with Pete Dunne. I like the idea of Dunne VS Anthony next. LOL, last week they made a big deal of Anthony’s debut & he didn't get an entrance. This week, he gets an entrance & it's in PIP, so you can't hear his music. Pete Dunne VS Draco Anthony was actually a good match. I thought it would be more of a squash, but Anthony had some offense. Also, I’m glad that Dunne didn’t lose by a distraction from Tony D’Angelo. Interesting segment with Wendy Choo & Dakota Kai. LA Knight VS Sanga was horrible. Sanga should not be wrestling on TV. At least Veer Mahaan has been wrestling and has improved a lot. Sanga needs to be Grayson Waller’s bodyguard & not actually wrestle. OK promo by Duke Hudson. I hate that everyone was shocked that Dolph Ziggler was there, yet they had his theme song & his Raw Graphic ready to go. Why would NXT have all of that stuff ready to go? By the way, Ziggler has wrestled on NXT TV once with a win over Rusev on August 21, 2013. Fun segment with Ziggler & then Tommaso Ciampa, but I feel like it overshadowed Bron Breakker & Santos Escobar to set-up their match next week, though they got back to Breakker VS Escobar at the end. So I liked it at the end. Waller’s promo was OK. I didn’t like Sarray’s entrance at first, but now I like it as it’s different. Sarray VS Dakota Kai was excellent. OK Segment with Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. Alright segment with Indi Hartwell, Persia Pirotta, & Toxic Attraction. The brawl was fun. And wait a minute. When did Kay Lee Ray free Gigi & Jacy? Last week, only Kay Lee came back & went after Mandy. We didn't see them being rescued. MSK VS Malik Blade & Edris Enofe was a fun match. I think Blade & Enofe have great futures in WWE. I can’t wait for MSK VS The Creed Brothers next week. Awesome profile on Cameron Grimes. I didn’t like him at first, but he became one of my favorite wrestlers in NXT. Another weird segment with Choo & Kai. A fun brawl with Hartwell, Pirotta, & Toxic Attraction. Kay Lee Ray VS Mandy Rose was a great main event, but the finish was stupid. I do like Io Shirai getting involved so she & Ray will be part of the Dusty Cup. Here are the Facts & Stats for NXT

It's just funny because KLR came off like an even bigger heel than Mandy last week and the crowd thought so too. Maybe try having the actual heels in the program actually do despicable shit? An angle where Toxic Attraction jumped KLR and "broke" her arm with the bat would've been great. Would've given reason to feel sorry for and get behind KLR and a reason to hate the heels by having them actually do something vicious and dispicable. Instead we get the babyface kidnapping the heels friends and threatening her with a ball bat to get a title shot presumably because she knows she hasn't done anything to deserve it fairly. Then they are surprised when they don't get the intended reactions. Yeah, apart from them maybe jumping someone after a match (which, in this crazy world of wrestling isn't all THAT bad), TA haven't really been doing anything too heelish. They're just hot confident ladies, which is kinda hard to boo in this day and age.

They're just hot confident ladies, which is kinda hard to boo in this day and age. Honestly I think tonight was the first time they actually cheated to win. Mandy won the triple threat against Cora and Raquel clean and even while her title win over Raquel was dirty it was more just her taking advantage of the situation as her and Dakota weren't in cahoots in any way. Even her interfering to cost KLR a match against Ivy Nile could be just classified as payback for KLR costing her a match against Cora and ruining her photoshoot for no reason. No different then a face fighting fire with fire after a heel did the same thing to instigate the issue. Gigi and Jacy also won the tag titles fair and square in the ladder match. Also it doesn't help that until getting this push Mandy hadn't been given much. She was on the main roster for almost four years and they never really got behind her at all. Like it would be one if she was someone who has been pushed hard for years but with someone who has been there a while, hung in there, and paid dues; it's hard to dislike. Instead it's kind of like "well good for you".

Why do I get the feeling Gigi Dolin has incriminating photos of a LOT of people in NXT, not just Indi?

Based on my findings in my points ranking project, of wrestlers with 100 or more scored matches in it, only 11 wrestlers have worse win/loss percentages within the timeframe of it (2005-now): She has to win another 41 matches just to get it back to even!

I remember she and Sonya went something like four or five months without even winning a televised match on SD at one point in 2019.

I remember she and Sonya went something like four or five months without even winning a televised match on SD at one point in 2019 . Remember that one time she beat Becky Lynch in 2018, and people were swearing up and down that that was the end of Lynch's career? Straight after that, Lynch started on the biggest run of her entire life and gotten everything that has come with it since, while Rose didn't win another TV match for seven months.

They can start calling her The Blackmailer and she would win all her matches as her opponents would be forced to lay down for her because if they failed to do so she would reveal the incriminating photos she had of them.

Also the biggest story that Mandy got (the stuff with Otis) she apparently came up with that and pitched it to WWE (she and Otis are genuinely pretty good friends IRL).

Another I thing noticed watching that segment back was JJ just straight up whopping Indi's ass before it got broke up. And even Persia and Gigi was pretty even despite Persia having the size advantage and getting the first shot in when she shoved her into the locker. WWE really can't resist making their babyfaces look like crap. Even in a backstage brawl when they are supposed to be angry and incensed that the heels are trying to blackmail them and ruin one of their marriages, the heels still get the better of them in a fight.
Also Gigi's thighs. DAYUM! She really is Becky's daughter.
