It's the final live episode of NXT this year (no chance in hell they're going live on Christmas Day), and they're going out huge with the two top titles both on the line at Full Sail! As ever, discussion rules for this show and AEW Dynamite here: officialfan.proboards.com/thread/592137/rules-discussion-weekly-aew-showsTonight's show is so big that the NXT Men's Championship is KICKING OFF THE SHOW, and it will be COMMERCIAL FREE. Adam Cole (BAY-BAY) is facing pressure from several fronts, but tonight he puts the title on the line against former champion Finn Bรกlor, who earned the right to challenge by defeating Keith Lee and Tommaso Ciampa in a Triple Threat match last week. Will Bรกlor's future be his past, or will Cole score one of the biggest wins of his title reign? With that match starting the show, this week's main event will be the biggest NXT Women's Title Match at Full Sail since Takeovers were held there, as Shayna Baszler defends the title against Rhea Ripley. Baszler has dispatched a host of names in her two reigns as champion, becoming the most dominating champion since Asuka, but something just feels different with Ripley - she has pulled off big wins in recent weeks, and has amassed a huge following and belief behind her. Can the Nightmare end NXT's long time nightmare and become the first woman to win both the NXT UK Women's Title and the NXT Women's Title? Last week was a double triumph for Angel Garza as he won the NXT Cruiserweight Championship from Lio Rush, and then got engaged. How will Garza kick off his first show as the new champion, and how will Rush take it considering there was bad blood between them? Or will anyone else emerge to go after Garza? The last two weeks have seen stars from NXT UK show up at Full Sail ahead of Worlds Collide on January 25th in Houston, where NXT UK take on their US counterparts. So far it's 1-1, with Kassius Ohno losing to Matt Riddle, with Travis Banks pulling one back last week over Jaxson Ryker. So who shows up this week? All this and plenty more on a very golden night, tonight from 8/7c on USA! |

I can always count on NXT to get rid of the bad taste left in my mouth by Raw.
Rhea better win.

Tonight be that night very TakeOver'esc feel with this show.
Expecting both title matches to go atleast 20min each...actually maybe not the NXT title match as that is built to be shenanigans and setting up something bigger for NXT portland.
Real interested to see what else fills out the show....as while last week had a great opener and solid ending everything else was a pile of ..meh
Expecting them to throw out as many of their big guns as they can tonight and maybe a debut or two.

I'm expecting Cole/Balor and the ensuing post-match angle to take 30 minutes. Shayna/Rhea shouldn't be more than 20 minutes. We'll probably get a match with a NXT UK talent to hype World's Collide. |

This is def a two match show and how the hell they fill out this time with no commercials is going to be crazy
NXT in terms of ratings most likely will be hurt by real life news like like it was last week

There probably won't be any followup to the post-match brawl with DakotaKai/Mia Yim or the triple threat since both Mia and Keith are in Washington DC with relatives. |

Yea this show is built on the two matches I can see Swerve Scott getting a match since it has been a few weeks if he is around. KUSHIDA as well to continue the stuff with him and Cameron Grimes |

This is why I am really interested in seeing what they do with the show between the opening and ending matches.
Last weeks show was built the same more or less but it was a rather dull and subdued show between those two matches so I am hoping that they got better things lined up for their last live show of the year especially since they wont be back untill what the second week of january.

We got Deonna on Raw, and Santana Garrett is hinting that she'll be on NXT tonight. It's the week of forgotten women's talent getting on television.

Hope this show is a distracting enough presence from the 39*C (103*F) temperature and the endless smoke haze that has been plaguing Sydney for weeks because of bushfires. None near me, thank goodness, but itโs always a concern.

Wouldn't be shocked if Santana gets squashed by Io or Bianca tonight. They had Belair on last week, so if either of those two are on, I feel like itโd probably be Shirai. |

Yeah seems like the show in general is leaning towards the direction of getting the stars out there for some squash type showcase matches Priest could use one and get back to setting him and Dain up. Shirai if she is healed up could use one etc |
