It's the hip-replacementest, oldest hippest, youngest wrestling show on TV, NXT 2.0! Announced for this installment, we've got...
- Bron Breakker vs. Roderick Strong - No Holds Barred: Cameron Grimes vs. Duke Hudson - Dakota Kai vs. Cora Jade - Tony D'Angelo vs. Andre Chase - The in-ring debut of Harland
Strongly considered calling it Harland Of The Pigs but it sounded clunky.

You don't stand a chance, Dakota, as Jade is on another level right now!
STRONG vs. BREAKKER sounds like a great match pairing too.

Wonder how they set up Cora as the #1 contender. Right now, only Cora & Raquel have staked a claim on the women鈥檚 title. And it'll be stupid to run a #1 contender's match between 2 Faces(Cora Jade/Raquel Gonzalez), especially when their's no animosity or rivalry between them where you can setup and run a #1 contender's match.
And I doubt Mandy would even pitch a #1 contender's match between them since her whole thing since becoming champion has been to avoid defending the title in the first place(i.e. blowing off Io, Kay Lee Ray, Cora Jade last week and sending Dakota to try to eliminate Raquel, etc.) With only 2 weeks remaining, I feel like we鈥檙e probably going to get a non-finish with Toxic Attraction attacking Cora and we get a locker room clearing brawl to set up a #1 contender battle royal.

They really are just Yo Yo'ing Dakota around...first looked like she was going to the main roster then nope back to NXT and looked like she was in line for a renewed push with her new look and this mental twitch thing but also nope she is back to where she was , not gonna be surprised if she is one of the names cut by the Khan Slicer next round.
I wonder what is gonna come of that strange as hell scene last week with KLR passing her bat to Cora other than maybe KLR is trying to influence Cora into being more of a heel and taking short cuts.

They've done a better job of protecting Dakota during this go around(no-contest against Raquel; ladder match she had the visual victory, but ended up losing when KLR wrapped her in between the ladder rungs; War Games, she didn't take the decisive fall). My gut tells me that we'll probably get a DQ finish due to Toxic Attraction getting involved. Mandy has been ducking every challenger and talked shit about and called out all the other women in the division last week, so I see TA attacking Cora and we get a massive brawl resulting in a #1 contender battle royal. Not to mention after tonight, they only have 2 shows left until New Year's Evil, so just having Cora beat Dakota won鈥檛 do anything to help set up the #1 contendership.

I think there鈥檚 a very good chance Cora wins here. Which I would have, mixed, feelings about.

Duke has to finally win one, right? Dude鈥檚 gotten his ass kicked every single step of this feud. He kind of stinks so I鈥檓 cool with it but if they鈥檙e actually planning to build him he has to win at some point.

It feels like a Cameron getting the call up kind of match and Duke is gonna win this definitively.

I thought she just gave it to her cause her arm was f***ed up and she wanted to help her teammate defend herself. KLR ended up turning face in the middle of the War Games build cause ppl were cheering her already and they needed more manic pixie dreamgirls to fight Toxic Attraction.

Why is Grimes vs. Hudson still going? We got that payoff at WG.

You may be right and I maybe was giving them a bit too much credit thinking that there was more to it. I gotta stop thinking three dimnesionally here and remember this company is being run by the equivilent of Caillou.

I wonder if that was the original plan or if it was suppose to be Zoey Stark in that spot if not for her injury.

Honestly I don't think there rly needed to be more to it, just a lil continuation to how War Games ended with Cora winning it for everybody with one arm. Gals bein pals. I think it hit me right then that even a stripped down NXT women's division is still probably my fav in America.

It just seemed strange to me that KLR was intended to go after Mandy just seemingly was perfectly fine with stepping aside for Cora it just felt like a hard U-turn was taken with her but this is also me being conditioned as a wrestling fan to just expect the worst in such a scenario especially now with all the misery booking that she is absoloutley going to heel out on Cora but I am glad to hopefully be wrong. And also yes even stripped down as it has I will still take the NXT womens division above the rest in america...Impact comes close though to rivaling the current iteration.

Yeah, I feel like they are trying to push Cora Jade as the top babyface of the NXT Women but it feels like it's gonna backfire. The audience really does not seem to care for her gimmick or character. They are trying to push her as some sort of plucky underdog without realizing that an underdog absolutely needs audience support in order to thrive, and there are many other women the audience would rather see pushed over Cora at this moment in time. Doesn't help that the whole skateboarding gimmick is utter garbage.
I sorta hope they start pushing Sarray again soon, because she deserves it way more than a lot of other women on that show right now. I could live without that dumb "Daddy's Girl" gimmick from Tiffany Straton, or Lash Legend's awful talk show.
But it's more likely that in this current version of NXT, Sarray is gonna be used as enhancement talent putting over all of the greener women.
