I just want them to let Ciampa start beating the hell out of people, like we saw shades of in his match with Joe. If we get more of that Ciampa, he's going to end up one of my favorites.

Fact fans, "Cien Almas" translates into "100 Souls". Weird pairing that with "Andrade" though.

Already posted in the Divas Superstars pics/gifs thread, but bears repeating here: ![](http://66.media.tumblr.com/9d19df2744817956aa141ec4eea1ee15/tumblr_o7reskpXdT1u1ljrzo1_540.gif) ![](http://66.media.tumblr.com/1b6e2ea1f0434bae63ad08cd97d6df2c/tumblr_o7reskpXdT1u1ljrzo2_540.gif) The triple threat on the whole was pretty good. Nia has impressed me two weeks in a row now; something seems to have clicked with her and she's looking more impressive. Alexa is nailing her character, she's got the little details down, but still nothing she did in the ring was very noteworthy. Carmella is forming into a very good babyface (impressive considering her initial reception in NXT) and her ring work continues to grow. Good stuff from the ladies, and is this the first time in NXT that it's been NXT/WWE only trained women in such a match? There always seemed to be at least one woman with indy experience (Paige, Sasha, Bayley, Emma, Asuka) in these matches, but these three all came in with no prior experience. Good for them, hard work paying off.

Top-rope Sparkle Splash on Jax was pretty spot-on, and quite frankly was a much better match finish than the weak-ass Leg Drop by Nia Jax. I would argue that Bliss carried the match mostly, since Jax was more often than not double-team-crowd-controlled outside the ring along with Carmella.

I would argue that Bliss carried the match mostly, since Jax was more often than not double-team-crowd-controlled outside the ring along with Carmella. Agreed. Alexa stood out the most to me in that match. She controlled most of it, dictating the pace and the energy. And while I'm sure it was all pre-planned, it still takes a level of talent to hold it all together and make it work. She wasn't working at a lightning fast pace, but Alexa's character is best when she's being smug and taking her time, with opportunities to taunt and gloat. Carmela is good as the babyface in peril, with some splashy moves that get the crowd to pop. Nia was the least impressive to me. Because she's so much bigger than the other two, they came up with with idea of just keeping her out of most of the match, which doesn't really help her development.

Not crazy about TM 61 yet but it's only one match in.
Gargano has really grown on me though. His personality is starting to show through.
Great promo by the ladies followed by a great one from Aries.
Nakamura is easily my favourite thing right now. He's such a freak.
I like No Way Jose. His opponent was a weird looking dude.
Graves killing it on announce duties.
Asuka scares me stiff.
Drifter vs Aries? I'm one of the few around here who likes Aries but 'No thanks'.
Loved the main event.

So the Aussies. The name sucks. They don't look particularly notable. That promo was appalling, and the tattooed one seems to sell things weirdly with his face.
Then they lost! I died laughing at that, but I instantly hated them for basically no reason.
José is the best f***ing thing. He shouldn't work but he makes it work.
Aries slowly seems to be turning heel. Nakamura on the mic was perfect, he got just enough done. He is just something else. He is a superstar, man. He better beat Joe for the belt.
