Candice is going to kick Johnny in the balls, and then make out with Grayson right in the ring. Gargano: Why Candice, WHY? LeRae: He is the Alpha Male now. I only go with Alphas now. Gargano:...SINCE WHEN?...

Granted this is an assumption, but anyone else think it's kind of weird that you get immediately called up after losing the NXt title? It's almost like holding a title holds you hostage in the "minors" and losing sets you free.

Fun show. Loved the 5 way, ladder match was sloppy but enjoyable and glad to see Melo and the Witch Crew become champs

That was a nice nearly three hours on a Saturday evening, but now Iβve to decide how to play the staying up until all hours two days in a row. Do I go to sleep for a bit now or do I stick it out until 5am ish ? You might be surprised how refreshed you might feel after a few hour power nap.

Crossed a line? Considering the bad, naughty world of wrestling, I don't think Waller has done anything to cross a line. Call me when he burns down their f***ing house like Randy Some guy in GCW tried to legit murder Yoshihiko with a knife last night! Wait...What?...Seriously?

Or every single Austin/Undertaker match I admit it has been a long time since I saw it, but I thought there Summerslam 1998 match was pretty good.

It's almost like holding a title holds you hostage in the "minors" and losing sets you free. Kayfabe explanation: You make more money as NXT champion than you would as being without a title on the main roster, so financially you still want to hold on to the NXT belt as long as possible

Braun Strowman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breaker all on the main roster?
Or is he going Rex?

Itβs not bad or anything but it just kinda stops in the middle. Granted Austin suffers a concussion in the first 5 minutes so thatβs probably why

Fully enjoyed that show, donβt think there was a bad match to be had. I would probably just give the Gargano/Waller match as match of the show though the NA title match was a cracker as well
It was the right time to finally get the NXT title off Bron, be interesting to see who his first challenger will be at, presumably, Battleground. Lovely and unexpected choice having Indi win the Womenβs title, was fully expecting Roxanne to retain or Tiffany to win it
