Here are my NXT Thoughts:
I appreciate & respect Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne for what they put themselves & each other through, but I wasn't into the match. It's not my style.
Great recap of Battleground.
Good interview with Wes Lee. Lee & Tyler Bate VS The Dyad will be an excellent match if it gets made.
Interesting mugshots from Tony D'Angelo.
I have no idea what Gallus said. Interesting attack on Channing Lorenzo. I smell a 6-Man Tag with The Creeds & Stacks VS Gallus in the near future.
Great promo by Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. Interesting interruption by Noam Dar & his entourage. Hayes VS Dar will be an amazing match. It's good they did this segment or else NXT wouldn't have had a main event for tonight.
Ouch, poor Cora Jade & her eye. OK segment to set-up a match with Ivy Nile later.
Alright segment with Axiom & Reggie. They could be a fun tag team.
Wow, Mustafa Ali in NXT. He is a Free Agent. This could be excellent. He has only wrestled twice in NXT. He lost to Hideo Itami on 8/17/16 & he & Lince Dorado lost to Kota Ibushi & TJP in the 1st Round of the Dusty Classic on 10/26/16.
Tyler Bate & Wes Lee VS The Dyad was a fun match. Mustafa Ali was good on commentary. The Brawl between The Creeds & The Dyad with Ivy Nile & Ava was OK. I love Ali saving everyone from Joe Gacy. That's going to be an awesome 6-Man Tag.
Fun segment with Chase University, Drew Gulak, & Charlie Dempsey.
Solid promo by Tiffany Stratton. She will be a great NXT Women's Champion, but why do we have to do another Battle Royal? Is that the only way we can determine the #1 Contender for the Women's Title?
A bad segment with Trick Williams, Oro Mensah, Jakara Jackson, & Lash Legend. Jackson & Legend are solid wrestlers as shown on Level Up, but they are still horrible on the microphone.
Wow. I didn't expect the Mystery Attacker to be Blair Davenport. I like that they used Dani Palmer to reveal it to give her a storyline.
OK segment with Malik Blade, Edris Enofe, Eddy Thorpe, & Damon Kemp to set up Thorpe VS Kemp for next week.
Channing Lorenzo VS Joe Coffey was an awesome match. It could have been both wrestlers' best match in NXT. Damn, I wanted Stacks to win in memory of Two Dimes, as today would have been Two Dimes' birthday.
OK Segment with Von Wagner & Mr. Stone.
Incredible video on Ilja Dragunov. Dragunov VS Dijak was my favorite match of 2023.
Ivy Nile VS Cora Jade was really good. Both men deserve to be used more. Stupid segment with Tank Ledger & Hank Williams & Malik Blade & Edris Enofe.
Cool, Ivy Nile VS Ava next week in Ava's NXT TV Singles debut. The rest of next week's NXT looks like a great show.
Carmelo Hayes VS Noam Dar was an incredible main event. I would love to see a Heritage Cup Rules Match between them.
Holy Crap, another Free Agent. I would have never thought I would see Baron Corbin in NXT as Carmelo Hayes' next challenger. But he's 0-12-0 in 2023. He should not be wrestling for the NXT Championship. I really wish Wins & Losses mattered in WWE.
Here are my NXT Match Rankings:
1) Carmelo Hayes VS Noam Dar
2) Tyler Bate & Wes Lee VS The Dyad
3) Channing Lorenzo VS Joe Coffey
4) Ivy Nile VS Cora Jade
5) Gigi Dolin VS Jacy Jayne
Even though I'm burnt out after 5 straight days of wrestling since Friday, I still enjoyed NXT tonight. The wrestling was great especially the main event. I love the chaos & all of the potential matches that have been set-up.
