Interesting that after a long period of being booked so strongly as Cruiserweight Champ, Buddy’s losing three straight matches now.

Sounds like setting up Kairi for the main roster. I'm really thinking they should probably ditch the North American title at this point. I really dunno what the purpose of it is supposed to be since I think it's exclusively been fought over by people who would be more useful in the NXT title scene. They definitely need another singles title on NXT. I don’t see any reason to get rid of it. They have had compelling NXT title matches for a year straight and the NA title didn’t get in the way at all.

I agree there's a need for another singles title, but it should be an actual midcard one, not an excuse to just throw a match together because they can't be assed to come up with a storyline for whatever top guys don't have something else going on.

Looks like Roderick is about to get the boot, reigniting their old feud from before. Time really doesn’t heal wounds. I love it lol I wonder if they get another guy to replace Roddy. I can't wait to see how they have to change their logo again.

I don't know, I think the North American Title is doing the perfect midcard title job at the moment - Being held by a guy who is clearly being groomed to be champion. Once Dream loses that belt, I think we'll see him face Gargano or Cole for the NXT Title, later this year.

Roddy showed up to attack Gargano. And then everyone in TUE beat down Johnny.

PWInsider reports that WWE is testing some new tech with a small group of fans at the tapings that will allow them to hear the commentary.
My memory is fuzzy but I could have sworn WWE tried something like this before at a few PPVs, whereby fans could rent a small radio and listen to the commentary.

They tried that years ago I believe for PPVs

The title is being held in the vein of guys like Randy Savage, Mr. Perfect, Ultimate Warrior, Razor Ramon, HBK, Bret Hart as IC Champ. Or Lex Luger, Rick Rude, Sting as US Champ. They weren’t just mid carders not doing anything, they were upper level guys who could main event shows with a division built around them. I can’t see the problem.

Dijax going for the North American championship seems odd

Dream and Murphy are basically my two favorite guys in the business. Super stoked about this one.

The problem is it isn't the 80s anymore and booking like it is despite having your main champion around being an active part of the show renders most of your roster completely pointless. It's the same reason when it comes to the main roster guys like Apollo Crews basically have no reason in kayfabe to show up to work because people who should be well above the midcard belts like Joe and Balor are the ones with them. In general I'm of the firm opinion that the booking practices of the 80s died for damn good reasons.
