This week on NXT, General Manager JBL is bringing an old staple of RAW, Beat the Clock, to the Yellow Ropes Show. Whoever records the fastest time this week will get a shot at Bo Dallas and his NXT Championship, as he returns from his world tour, which included a stop in BO-livia. Also, JBL will allow Sami Zayn back on to the show, in order to explain his comments from a few weeks ago which saw him suspended indefinitely. Will the ban continue, or will Zayn be back in the ring to wow NXT fans once again? This week's matches... *BEAT THE CLOCK: Colin Cassady vs. Alexander Rusev *BEAT THE CLOCK: Kassius Ohno vs. Tyler Breeze *Hunico & Camacho vs. Chris Rothwell & Johnny Vandal *BEAT THE CLOCK: Adrian Neville vs. Aiden English {Spoiler}*BEAT THE CLOCK: Sami Zayn vs. Leo Kruger Wait a minute... I thought they canned that Ohno guy!!! Hearing a rumour that you may be seeing him for a few more weeks yet. Click the spoiler link if you want to know who else you'll be seeing this week. |

Seriously, Beat the Clock needs to go away. It was kinda cool the first time they did it but it gets worse every time they do it.

Alright, it's time once again to share my thoughts on NXT.
I enjoyed the Beat the Clock episode of NXT.
I didn't like that all three commentators said they were 'Bolievers.' I think you need one straight-man announcer who can see through the delusions of the heels. We needed that Gordon Solie/Jim Ross/Gorilla Monsoon who sort of speaks for the audience who can tell that Bo is delusional. Someone should speak for the fans and say what they are thinking. If all of the announcers are backing Bo Dallas's delusions, then that sends the message to the fans that they should support Bo Dallas.
I hated Bo Dallas saying that he "sports entertained" in front of people.
Get well soon, Enzo Amore.
I am really impressed with Rusev. I'm not quite sold on Lana yet.
I thought the interviewer Devin Taylor looked cute. Renee Young is great in that role and doesn't really need any more seasoning on NXT. By all means they can use other people to do interviews on NXT if the show is meant to give experience to newer talents. It's always great to see Renee, but I can understand if she doesn't do backstage interviews on NXT any more.
Bayley was tremendous in her interview. The format of the show didn't lend itself to spotlight the Divas, but I'm glad we got this interview with Bayley.
I wasn't expecting a Kassius Ohno win. He was absolutely ready for the main roster. It's a shame he was released. WWE blew it.
I think Hunico is very good, though all we got to see him do was a swanton bomb. If I'm WWE, I'd consider letting Hunico become the permanent Sin Cara since they've invested so much into that character and since reportedly WWE still sells a lot of Sin Cara merchandise. I just think Hunico has proven to be more reliable than the former Mexican mega-star Místico.
I didn't catch the name of the male interviewer, nor did I build much of an opinion of him. I did like Ohno's interaction with Lana and thought Ohno was good in the segment setting up a future match with Alexander Rusev.
I have been very critical of Aiden English on here. I will give him some credit for being pretty good in the ring. I sort of liked how he channeled Rent this week. I love how Regal reacts to him.
The ending of English/Neville came off very well.
I thought Byron Saxton was alright on commentary, though not when he said he was a 'Boliever' during the opening segment.
From a purely cosmetic standpoint, I prefer Alexa Bliss to Kendall Skye. I think both are fine as ring announcers and don't really prefer either one's actual announcing.
I continue to enjoy Regal on commentary.
I am NOT looking forward to the Ascension versus Hunico y Camacho.
Leo Kruger's got something. I think he could have been big in the 1980s in multiple territories.
I enjoyed the Kruger/Zayn match considering it was so short. The ending was pulled-off very well with the time running out.
Sami Zayn versus Adrian Neville? YES PLEASE!
I look forward to the next show and hopefully we will get more from the Divas.

I really hate listening to Bo, I rather read the spoilers for his segments than to actually watch them.
The rest of the show wasn't any better than opening segment, I mean a "Beat the Clock" episode of NXT & the longest match is 5 minutes ?! seriously ?
.. and yeah Zayn was robbed, he totally won the challenge

My version of the show didn't have the Hunico tag or Aiden English's intro. It didn't even have the show intro. But all the backstage promos were included. Neville did a really good promo this week, and it's sad that not even Devin likes Bayley.
Nice to see Zayn back, though I swear he got it with one second to go. Clock sweetening by JBL?

No Renee on commentary or backstage interviews  I missed Sami and Bo a lot. Glad to have them back  Sad Bayley  .... Turning into motivated Bayley FTW! Also, Shitty Riley: HEY WHY DON'T YOU ASK ME QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF REGAL, BYRON? William Regal: 30 years of experience and wrestling in multiple countries might have something to do with that. Shitty Riley: ..... Regal should've just said "because f*** you" but oh well. |

^Can WWE drop the failed experiment of Alex Riley: Color Commentator and let him get back to wrestling? At least he's pretty good at that.

Boy, they really had to do that ending perfectly to get the time exact, I give them props for that.
Who was the Ray Romano looking interviewer guy?
Wait, that was Alexa Bliss going intros? I wasn't paying attention, I may have to go back to check her out, just from the pics I've seen I've already got a crush on her.
Bo is so awesome at being the world's biggest dweeb.
