Glad EC3 won't be on NXT anymore after this. Even more thankful if he's on Raw, he won't be at my Smackdown event in March

"All three members of EC3"? Haha, although it's probably due to Mauro being shaken up by the accident before the tapings.

I do think that Bianca is still very much a work in progress after tonight. Because it felt like she was incredibly robotic at times. She would do a move, then it would take her a few moments to remember what she was going to do next. It wasn't SEVERE by any means, but it was noticeable. I think a better way of putting it is that she isn't all that crisp in the ring when it comes to transitions.
As a result, I see Shayna retaining at Takeover: Phoenix (I don't really know how, but someone proposed having Shayna choke out Bianca with her hair in the Kirifuda), and moving onto a feud with Io Shirai or something. And as for Bianca? She'll probably feud with some of the other women being brought in, or get called up after Wrestlemania.

NXT UK Being to like Williams & Jordan team. They work well together.
The Women's press conference segment was surprisingly good. I thought both women sounded and looked legitimate. Plus the simple questions just sound better in British accents lol
Xia Brookside is ridiculously good at what 19? Seriously she's just needs a character cause as far as in ring she's Dream level of just getting it.
Loved the Eddie Dennis vignette and the Mastiff response vignette. Great production work. I'm now pretty hype for that match
Andrews & Webster vs. Gibson & Drake was really f***ing fun. Just non stop action.
FINALLY! Connors gear looks like a gritty heel and not something from Bobby Roode's closet.Β Wait now he loses WTF!
Devlin vs. Banks should be a banger at Takeover.
Gallus vs. BSS had a slower start, but really turned into a great physical match with real good build to Takeover.
205 Yes I said above I like the team of Williams & Jordan, but Dar is so boring as a singles guy in my opinion I'd like see him team with Williams in NXT UK as they have history.
Hideo vs. Cedric ruled. Hideo's finish still blows, but damn what a match.
I'm thinking Alexander is getting a Rumble spot and the called up. Probably RAW eith Ali on SDL.
NXT Awesome opening segment. Gargano has a well rounded character now. Ricochet cut his best promo in NXT. He looks and sounds like a big deal. Ciampa is still a shit stirring dick and Black is a monster.
Belair vs. Cross was really really good. Belair is a star. Hopefully Nikki is fine on the main roster. Nikki vs. Asuka?
Barthel & Aichner are awesome. Give me them vs. The BritAm Brawlers NOW!
EC3 vs. Cole was pretty good. Cole definitely did the heavy lifting.

I've just remembered who Marcel Barthel reminds me of.
The East German Bobsledder from Cool Runnings.
He needs to refer to people just by their country. "Leave ze wrestling to ze real men, eh America?"

Just watched the Richochet/Gargano/Ciampa segment, and my god I loved the way Aleister smells through Ciampas mess and calls him Johnnyβs lapdog. Such a simple line yet it seems to be ringing true week after week a Gargano falls more into darkness, not even realizing it. NXT is great man lol
