Meiko vs, Roxanne is a Takeover main event level match.

Good, give the show-closing betrayals a rest for a bit. I did think Meiko was going to lay her out.

They're doing the match at Roadblock instead of Stand and Deliver? I think they could have held off. Cora or Tiffany take the title at Stand & Deliver.

Meiko as NXT UK champion basically would give almost anyone a title shot if they asked (like with Ivy Nile for example). And she has to know Roxy would do the same for her if she requests one.

Thought the Bron/Jinder segment was crap and also didn't care about Hank vs. Chuck Dempsey, but other than that, another excellent show!

Here are my NXT Thoughts:
It's nice for WWE to recognize the passing of Jerry Jarrett, but they never did anything for Lanny Poffo who wrestled for the company. That's BS. Tyler Bate VS Grayson Waller was a tremendous match. What a way to kick off NXT Horrible segment with Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen. No one gives a crap about this. This is a wrestling show, not freaking Saved by The Bell. It went on way too long. Awesome, Grayson Waller & Shawn Michaels with a confrontation. I really hope this leads to Michaels VS Waller at Stand & Deliver or WrestleMania, so Michaels can have a proper retirement match instead of his Blood Money Match at Crown Jewel. NXT. More crap with Apollo Creed's promo and his stupid visions. What the hell is going on tonight? Jacy Jayne's promo was horrendous. Jacy is Marty Jannetty because she murdered this segment. The show better pick up or else it will be the worst show of the year besides Bate VS Waller. OK Segment with Chase U. Good profile on Sol Ruca, but they should have done it before she debuted. The Sol Snatcher is awesome. Even Lash Legend took it well on Level Up recently. And this show got worse with Booker T singing Rihanna. Thea Hail VS Tiffany Stratton could have been a better match, but it was ruined by Thea being scared of The Schism. Silly segment with Ivy Nile, Tatum Paxley, & Javier Bernal, but then it got stupid with Isla Dawn's voice out of nowhere. Axiom VS Damon Kemp was an excellent match. This should have been a 2 segment match. They should have cut the crap earlier with Jacy Jayne. Awesome segment by Grayson Waller. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Solid promo by Bron Breakker. Jinde rMahal's promo was OK. It could be a good match next week. It will be Mahal's 1st NXT Championship Match since he lost to Seth Rollins on 12/12/12. I like the fans not cooperating. BTW, Breakker will be on Main Event this week against Akira Tozawa, becoming the 1st NXT Champ since Kevin Owens in 2015 to wrestle on Main Event. OK segment with Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Roxanne Perez, & Meiko Satomura. It should be a great main event. Wow. I like Tony D'Angelo coming out but Dijak (Cool, they allowed him to change his Twitter Handle) choked him out & then Channing Lorenzo went to help D'Angelo out instead of going for the title and finally Von Wagner coming out to accept. Wes Lee VS Von Wagner was short, but a really good match. I really hope that one day, Nash Carter returns to answer a North American Title Open Challenge. That would be incredible. OK segment with Hank Walker & Drew Gulak & Walker getting wrestling tights & boots. Cool.NXT Roadblock on March 7 & then NXT Stand & Deliver on April 1. Hank Walker VS Charlie Dempsey was too short. I was not expecting Drew Gulak to walk out with Dempsey like that. I wanted them to wrestle each other first. Another interesting segment with Mr. Stone & Von Wagner. NXT is back with a stupid segment with Gallus & Pretty Deadly playing Pool. If they want to wrestle for the NXT Tag Titles, Pretty Deadly should have to earn it in a wrestling match, not a damn Pool game. Great promo by Ilja Dragunov. Trick Williams calling him out was pretty good. Only Dragunov can kick someone like that in a nice suit. Good promo by JD McDonagh. Will he get visions like Apollo Crews now that his eye is injured? Nice attack by Williams. Cool segment with Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. Another crappy segment with Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen Fallon Henley, & Kiana James. Enough with this teen drama crap. If they would have cut out all of the crap tonight, NXT could have ended at 10:00 instead of going to 10:04 or later. Roxanne Perez & Meiko Satomura VS Kayden Carter & Katana Chance was a great main event. It's great to see Satomura back in NXT. I love Satomura challenging Perez for a match at Roadblock.
Here are my NXT Match Rankings: 1) Tyler Bate VS Grayson Waller 2) Axiom VS Damon Kemp 3) Roxanne Perez & Meiko Satomura VS Kayden Carter & Katana Chance 4) Wes Lee VS Von Wagner 5) Hank Walker VS Charlie Dempsey 6) Thea Hail VS Tiffany Stratton
I didn't enjoy NXT tonight. The matches were all good & there was some good segments, but most of the show sucked. Hopefully, they can get things back on track as they build to Stand & Deliver.

When that feud started, I figured there was zero chance for a HBK/Waller match to happen.
Now, you have to do it. It's clear Waller is the guy Shawn has chosen to pass Excalibur down to.

I didn't realize watching live that Jacy's new logo is a giant boot in the background. That's awesome.

Yeah, it was really bad. At least they super seductively say her name in the beginning so you instantly know who it is instantly. The rest sucks.

Iβll beat this drum until it happens. NXT desperately needs a midcard belt for the womenβs division. There are just SO many women deserving of a shot and there are enough badass wrestlers there that you can absolutely have a workhorse title for women. It simply needs to happen.

That's also how she looks to members of the Lollipop Guild.

There was some real shocking revelations on this episode. We now know that Sol Ruca is the whitest black woman on the planet. And that Isla Dawn's magic is so powerful that she can talk as a water bottle.
