Here's my Preview for Saturday's NXT Deadline.Here are my NXT Thoughts:
Awesome. They're starting right away with the Men's Wild Card Match for Deadline. Good pep talk by Thea Hail & Duke Hudson for Andre Chase.
Axiom VS Andre Chase VS Von Wagner looked like a clash of styles on paper, but it was a fun match. All 3 worked well together.
Good profile on Cora Jade.
Interesting segment with The Diamond Mine I hope that Julius gets cleared. I already typed up the Facts & Stats for their match with Indus Sher for NXT Deadline.
What a horrible segment. No one wants to see Bron Breakker & Apollo Crews fishing. This has to be one of the worst builds to an NXT Championship Match.
Damn, Sanga & Veer ruined Bryson Montana's main roster debut, as he only wrestled on Level Up & he is pretty good. Javier Bernal was funny. I love The Creed Brothers coming out still wanting to fight, but I guess it's not going to happen on Saturday.
Hilarious segment with Chase University.
I like the use of Sol Ruca's Tik-Tok video with Amari Miller to show backstage stuff between Briggs & Jensen & Blade & Enofe to set-up a match later. . Tony D'Angelo VS Xyon Quinn was a good return match for D'Angelo. I'm glad to see him in back in action. Solid promo by D'Angelo afterwards. Good response by Wes Lee. OK promo by Dijak. That will be a fun Triple Threat down the line.
OK segment with Hank Walker & Charlie Dempsey to set up their match.
Horrible promo by SCRYPTS. The only wrestling poet is Leaping Lanny Poffo.
Hank Walker VS Charlie Dempsey was pretty good. What a surprise with Drew Gulak. Gulak VS Dempsey will be incredible.
Good profile on Zoey Stark. I like that since the men will have The Grayson Waller Effect to promote their match, the women of the Iron Survivor Challenge are getting these profile videos.
Pretty good Grayson Waller promo.
I have to admit I didn't think I would like this segment but Pretty Deadly are so entertaining that I loved it. Then The New Day ith a surprise appearance. But, now I have to add an NXT Tag Title Match to my Preview. I had it all done. Oh well. The research will be worth it since the match will be a banger.
Hilarious promo with Javier Bernal, McKenzie Mitchell, & Ikemen Jiro.
Thea Hail VS Isla Dawn was an OK NXT debut for Dawn. Nice brawl between Alba Fyre & Dawn. Damn. What a bad week for WWE Officials. Lashley speared Petey Williams on Raw & a Referee got misted by Dawn on NXT.
OK profile on Kiana James.
Another cool vignette for Lyra Valkyrie. Looking forward to her NXT debut next week.
Briggs & Jensen VS Blade & Enofe wasn't good. There was too much stuff going on that was very distracting.
Another good profile video on Roxanne Perez.
A nothing segment with Fallon Henley, Briggs, & Jensen.
Wendy Choo VS Indi Hartwell VS Fallon Henley was really good. The women worked very hard. I didn't care who won.
I loved the intensity in Indi Hartwell's voice against Toxic Attraction.
The Grayson Waller Effect was pretty good. Everyone had solid promos setting up Saturday.
Here are my NXT Match Rankings:
1) Axiom VS Andre Chase VS Von Wagner
2) Wendy Choo VS Indi Hartwell VS Fallon Henley
3) Hank Walker VS Charlie Dempsey
4) Tony D'Angelo VS Xyon Quinn
5) Thea Hail VS Isla Dawn
6) Briggs & Jensen VS Blade & Enofe
Ends a pretty good NXT. Most of the matches were good. It got me excited for NXT Deadline. The only thing that I didn't like was the Breakker/Crews segment.
