I still can't believe how good LA Knight's babyface fire is. He is one of my boys

Oh hi Dakota. Please don't feud with Raquel again. Nah, Dakota's just here to predict MSK's future on the main roster.

I'm supposed to believe Styles and Knight are friends? Only thing they have in common is their first names are two letters They are both cool dudes who are oldish for wrestlers and both used to be in Impact. I can see them hitting it off. They will be needing a ship name too 😀

My preferred headcanon is that they bonded over their kayfabe first names being initials. "Yooo.... your name is L.A.? Mine is A.J.!" "You got an initial name too, buddy!? Sweet!"

That was a hell of a main event/ending. Well, AJ was involved. What do you expect? Also, L.A. Knight too so again...Of course it was epic!

A pretty good NXT. Great promo by Bron Breakker. He’s going to be a big star & proved it last week. I loved the dueling crowd chants of “You Deserve It” & “No You Don’t”. Xyon Quinn VS Santos Escobar was a good match, but the finish was horrible. Quinn should have gotten his win back from their last match when Escobar ended his undefeated streak. Weird promo by Tony D’Angelo. That was the best Mandy Rose promo of all-time. Cameron Grimes VS Damon Kemp was a really good match. I love Malcolm Bivens scouting. Since Kemp is an amateur wrestler which he showed more on 205 Live last year, he would be the perfect fit for The Diamond Mine. OK promo by Joe Gacy & Harland, though I still don’t like his character. I like the idea of a Dusty Classic Qualifying Match. Thank you WWE officials for suspending Von Wagner. Now, we won't have to see him on NXT. He sucks doing everything. Make it a permanent suspension. Malik Blade & Edris Enofe VS Joe Gacy & Harland was OK. The DQ was a little stupid, but there goes Harland's winning streak & Blade who went winless in 2021 is undefeated in 2022. Cool video on Imperium. Pete Dunne VS Tony D’Angelo was great, but the rules were stupid. D'Angelo grabbed the Crowbar, yet Dunne used it too. Whatever happened to Pole Matches being the 1st one to grab something wins? Nice video on Toxic Attraction since we got to see Mandy Rose twice tonight in a bikini. Kayden Carter, Kacy Catanzaro, & Amari Miller VS Wendy Choo, Indi Hartwell, & Persia Pirotta was a horrible match. Choo has to be one of the worst gimmicks in wrestling history. They should have kept her as Mei Ying. Weird segment with MSK & Dakota Kai. OK segment with Solo Sikoa. I like Kay Lee Ray being Mandy Rose’s next challenger. Solo Sikoa VSwas horrendous. I hate Double Count Outs in wrestling. Someone should have won the match even if the feud is going to continue. Good promo by AJ Styles. The brawl between Solo Sikoa & Boa was fun & I liked Boa changing & throwing the fireball into to Sikoa's face. Damn whoever you are for paying Von Wagner's fine ending his suspension. OK segment with Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. I love that Cameron Grimes will be Carmelo Hayes’ next feud. That will be fun. AJ Styles VS Grayson Waller was an awesome match & great way to end the show. I wasn’t expecting LA Knight back. Here are the Facts & Stats for NXT

NXT being my favourite WWE show every week as per usual. Enjoyed the thread as always (despite the crashes lol but that's how epic AJ is you see lol). I'll give my score of tonight's show after work later. In the meantime goodnight you crazy people Edit: A bit late this week but here's my summary of my thoughts about this week's NXT - Opening with Bron - 1 thumb up - Quinn v Escobar - 1 thumb down - Mandy's photoshoot - 2 thumbs up - D'Angelo talking about crowbar match - 1 thumb up - Grimes v Kemp - Meh - Gacy/Harland v Malik/Enofe - Meh - Video for Imperium - 2 thumbs up - Dunne v D'Angelo - 3 thumbs up - Toxic Attraction feature - 2 thumbs up - Waller interview - Meh - Choo/Hartwell/Pirotta v Catanzaro/Carter/Miller - 1 thumb down - KLR at photoshoot and destroying the set looking for Mandy - 1 thumb up - Sikoa v Boa - 2 thumbs down - AJ Styles interview - 2 thumbs up - Styles v Waller - 2 thumbs up - L.A. Knight appearance - 2 thumbs up All in all, I'll go with an 8 out of 10 this week

You'd think LA Knight just got wished back to life with the Dragon Balls with how hyped they were for his return.

I dig Edris. Blade’s the definition of a guy who just exists. Has a sweet dropkick though.

Watched with a non-fan tonight. He was seriously pretty good company while watching the show, appreciating the moves and efforts of each wrestler. His favorite parts were Tony D'Angelo (' could not believe there were an actual crowbar in the match up!!!), LA Knight (is he the spectacle of this show!?!), Toxic Attraction ad (*looks at Mandy* who is she!?!) and the women's match (these chicks would kick my ass!!!) ...

Sadly the Women’s Division is by far the weakest thing on the show. And it used to be one of the best.
You can tell Bruce and Johnny Ace are back in charge.

I think LA Knight's new nickname from now on should be The Spectacle of the Show. Honestly I could see if you hadn't watched before that you would think he was the main guy on NXT going by tonight. I mean I like the guy and all but they were acting as if the the Rock had just returned or something. I think your friend has good taste. Tony and Toxic Attraction are my two favorites too and them both being highlighted strongly made this weeks show quite enjoyable for me with Tony putting Petey Poppins in his place and Toxic Attraction getting not one but TWO vignettes both of which featured Mandy in a bikini (who is she? is right).

Knight also makes a surprisingly good babyface.

I can’t get over this. Tony D looks like he straight up murdered a dude. 😂

That crowbar shot is all in the sell because WWE camera work clumsy as usual fails to catch the actual hit.
LA Knight is already perfectly suited to firey babyface he is very Rock'esc in that his in ring stuff wont blow you away but his mic work is more than stellar enough to carry him to mega stardom.
