Tiffany having to spin around for no reason for her pin just so Indi could pull her out of the ring. And somehow not being able to get back in the ring from, being gently pulled out? Made it even more awkward.

So, everyone, I gotta know...
Was NXT Spring Breakin' hot enough for you?

Here are my NXT Spring Breakin' Thoughts:
I love the opening NXT Spring Breakin video with everyone having fun & then talking about each match. The Family VS Pretty Deadly was fun. I love the use of the pool with the balls (Sorry to the ring crew for having to clean up all of the balls) & the Boogie Board. If that was Pretty Deadly's NXT swan song, it was a good way to go out before heading to the main roster. Great Tiffany Stratton promo. Fun segment with Andre Chase & Duke Hudson. Bron Breakker VS Andre Chase was a short match, but I was expecting it to be to showcase Bron's new heel attitude. I love the use of his Uncle's Steiner Recliner as a finisher. This was the 1st time that Breakker wrestled & was not the NXT Champion since he defeated Robert Roode on 3/22/22. Excellent video package on Carmelo Hayes. Love Dijak attacking Ilja Dragunov but aren't they both late. Shouldn't they have gotten to the building earlier today & not a half hour into the show? Lyra Valkyria VS Cora Jade was really good. Looking forward to seeing Cora on Main Event on Thursday against Nikki Cross. What, Carmelo Hayes VS Grayson Waller is not the Main Event. The NXT Championship should be the main event. That doesn't make sense at all. Funny segment with The Family. Where are they taking Pretty Deadly. It will be another kidnapping where no one gets in trouble. Carmelo Hayes VS Grayson Waller was incredible. If this was Hayes' 1st NXT Championship Defense, I can't wait to see his 2nd one. I figured that Bron Breakker will be wrestling him at Battleground, so no one is getting drafted yet. Unbelievable. We don't need a recap of this crap. No one gives a crap about this horrid angle. Just end it. What a waste of time. OK segment with Joe Gacy & Ava & Joe Coffey. I like the idea of Coffey VS Gacy with the stip if Gacy wins, The Dyad will get a match against Gallus for the NXT Tag Titles. Uh oh, they said "local medical facility talking about Carmelo Hayes. Thank God Josh Briggs & Fallon Henley VS Kiana James & Brooks Jensen is over. I rather watch Quincy Elliott VS Lash Legend VS Omos in a Triple Threat Iron Man Match than anything involving this stupid storyline. OK interview with Dragon Lee. Cool video by SCRYPTS. Can't wait for his match with Axiom next week. Looking forward to Oba Femi's debut next as he has been impressive on Level Up. Great promo by Indi Hartwell. As much as I wanted Hayes VS Waller as the main event of Spring Breakin, Indi, Tiffany, & Roxanne deserve to get a spotlight on them tonight. Wow, Sol Ruca is hurt now & it wasn't in the parking lot. Cool entrance for Oba Femi. This is completely different than his matches on Level Up. His match against Ora Mensah was good & it's always good to see Mensah on NXT TV. Great promo by Gigi Dolin. Solid interview with Charlie Dempsey & Drew Gulak. Interesting segment with Wes Lee & Tyler Bate. I love the idea of Bate being in Lee's corner against Gulak. I guess Bate's not part of Chase U anymore. BTW, Congrats to Wes Lee who just surpassed Keith Lee as the 2nd Longest NXT North American Champion at 185 Days. Indi Hartwell VS Roxanne Perez VS Tiffany Stratton was a great match. It showed how much Stratton has improved as a wrestler. I'm glad they were given the opportunity to main event Spring Breakin. If Indi was hurt, she's amazing for continuing & finishing the match.
Here are my Spring Breakin' Rankings: 1) Carmelo Hayes VS Grayson Waller 2) Indi Hartwell VS Roxanne Perez VS Tiffany Stratton 3) The Family VS Pretty Deadly 4) Andre Chase VS Bron Breakker 5) Lyra Valkyria VS Cora Jade 6) Josh Briggs & Fallon Henley VS Kiana James & Brooks Jensen
Spring Breakin was a fun show. Besides the match that I didn't care about, I loved everything else. Everyone worked hard. I love the ending to write off Pretty Deadly, but if they're sleeping with the fishes, how can they be drafted to the main roster?

Jacy: "How about I beat your brother's ass next week?" Gigi: "Perfect! They'll really think we hate each other then!" All part of the master Toxic Plan, folks. Hook, line and sinker. The girls are too good.

Andre Chase vs. Bron was a very underwhelming match. I was looking forward to seeing Andre Chase in the ring. It felt like a glorified exhibition match for Bron.
I can’t take Grayson Waller seriously. Good match, but no suspense. Bron’s spear through the construction paper wall looked sick.
Country Music Song implosion. Didn’t care. Oh no she didn’t love him. Shock and awe.
Women’s title match. Meh. I was looking forward to it, but didn’t really enjoy it. But a lot of that has to be due to Indi's injury methinks. Hope she's okay.
Goodbye Pretty Deadly. I hardly knew ye.
I was really looking forward to this show, but left pretty underwhelmed overall.

I kind of don’t like that Kiana is just bad.
That feels like the most predictable and boring way to take this.

Kudos to Indi for her toughness.
But if so, she should not have won the match imo.

Any word on Waller? He seemed to f*** up his ankle going into the finish of the match with Hayes.

Actually Tiff herself said recently she should stay in NXT longer. Yeah, she was upfront saying that she isn't ready for the main roster and needs more time in NXT. As for the triple threat, I give them all a pass from Indi's injury on. Roxanne and Tiffany had to kill time on the fly, and it was obvious that Indi factored a lot into the rest of the match. Then Indi comes out there still hurt. There's also the mental aspect that Roxanne sees that a friend is injured, and Tiffany knows Indi got hurt on a move Tiffany did (no fault of Tiffany, Indi's leg just go under her). That made them more tentative, and less likely to unleash. You could see both completely slow down after that.

The trunk match and the aftermath was the highlight for me. The Family being faces now is just hilarious to me. Just your friendly fun loving murders who throw people into the ocean.
I like her and all but the Indi title push just seems so out of nowhere and head scratching to me. Like she was doing jobs left and rights for months and now she's the champion. If there was a time to put the belt on her it should've been around Deadline when she actually had some momentum. Tiffany seems like the no brainer option to me but they aren't pulling the trigger on her whatever reason. And it's not like they have better options.
I'm curious to see how the Gigi/Jacy match goes next week with the brother being there. You would think it's going to be something with the brother getting attacked but considering he's a non worker and is autistic that's likely not happening. Maybe "Mama Dolin" makes an appearances and helps Jacy win.

It will interesting to see what NXT Women will be drafted if any. They're roster has been hit hard by injuries recently especially if Indi is going to also miss time now. IF so then you just have Roxanne, Gigi, and Lyra as faces that matter and then Cora, Tiffany, Jacy, and Zoey for the heels. And I could see Roxanne (dropped belt out of nowhere and ate the pin last night), Cora (reports of impressing MR management), Tiffany (continue to not put the title on her despite being pushed very hard since returning), and Zoey (has worked tons of pre Raw Main Event matches and going by recent booking seems like they are "finishing her up") all getting drafted.

Cora's another one who needs to stay in NXT for a little longer IMO. Zoey, Roxanne and Kansas City or whatever they're called now should get drafted. Maybe Wendy Choo, too.
