Damn the atmosphere for the eventual Zayn vs Bo match is going to be insane. Btw did you know that Riley once tagged with the Miz? I wouldn't mind Riley's commentary it's just that he's been on literally every single show in the past week (not counting RAW/Smackdown obviously). They have him on Main Event commentary with Josh, on Superstars with Josh again, and now on NXT every week with Greenhorn Dude (can't bother to remember his name)?? I'm all for having more A-Ri on my WWE programming but not quite like this... why did they fire Matt Striker again?? (Striker would've definitely called Bayley's signature move a "Bayley-to-Belly Suplex!" with his trademark douchyness... *sigh* he will be missed!)

I think Sami Zayn is okay. But one thing that always nags at me is that I just don't understand why they ditched the El Generico gimmick when it seems so obvious that WWE wants a "Token Masked Guy" to sell masks to kids, and Sin Cara doesn't seem to be cutting it. I think what they want is more of an actual Latino luchadore. Also Zayn is a very eloquent, multilingual and professional looking Superstar. He can now be a top face for the company globally versus a cartoony schtick he used in bingo halls. So I would imagine this was a mutual decision and its clearly paying off big time.

Greenhorn dude is Tony Dawson and he was on last week with William Regal.

I like Alex Riley on commentary, but I'm really tired of him constantly mentioning that he teamed with The Miz. It's getting to ridiculous levels of annoying now.

To be fair he has no other claim to fame. "I teamed The Miz and turned on him" is pretty much his whole career. At least until he manages the next Super Hoss they want to put over like Matt Striker before him.

It's annoying as hell. He's not even good at colour. He sounds uninterested in every match. Even Maddox is better at colour than him and he's barely wrestled for WWE.

NXT is so ahead of Raw and Smackdown it beggars belief.

"From Charlotte, North Carolina...CHARLOTTE!"
Also I don't know whose fault it was but the finish to the divas match was absolutely awful

Bailey is so cool.
That Zayn backflip got a crazy reaction from the crowd.
Best wrestling show on TV...internet.

Alexander Rusev vs. Mason Ryan was actually pretty awesome. They looked little out of control at times but it was still a good paced back and foth match. I thought it would be mostly nervehold, myself. Rusev needs a better finish than the camel clutch though, that was a letdown.
Watching Sami Zayn, I feel like I'm watching the coming-of-age of one of the greatest babyfaces of our time. It's a real treat.

Sami Zayn makes me wonder why he ever wrestled as El Generico. That guy has so many more dimensions than he ever showed as Generico.
