From convict to champion in less than a year. A true inspiration.

I f***ing hate this. Dude is honest to goodness dogshit. Someone find out where Vince hid the keys so he could lock out Shawn and do this crap. Eh, he's not really too bad in the ring, he's pretty unremarkable but I can't say anything about him is actually bad objectively. But in terms of character he and Rhea are possibly the best thing going in wrestling right now, and whoever does take the title off of him is going to get even more over based on his massive heat. Except I don't find it enjoyable at all. It makes me just want to change the channel whenever he's on. That's not the kind of heat one is supposed to have. |

I think my favorite bit was it established that Tony and Dom became prison friends, which means Dom's been in jail more than just Christmas. lol poor Rhea, all her championship money going to paying his bail.

I hate to say it but I think you're in the vast minority in that regard. The match Rey and him had at Mania had the biggest crowd investment of any match on the weekend save for Zayn and Owens Vs. Usos and Roman Vs. Cody. Nothing wrong with that, like what you like, dislike what you dislike. |

So the ref saw Damien with a weapon in the ring…okay.
Much like Roman, three people helped him win. We’re gonna call Dom the greatest champion of all time right? Right!?

That is most definitely the heat you want as a heel. |

That is most definitely the heat you want as a heel. I love the Judgment Day dynamic and Dominik's deal personally but I don't agree with that stance. In my view more than anything a heel should make for entertaining television and if they're not doing that for you then it's completely fair game to be disinterested. |

I think I misinterpreted the type of heat we’re talking about. I thought he was talking about the heat Dom gets from the crowd |

Dom has been improving but he looked gassed out there tonight. A lot of his offense and selling sucked.

I feel a bit bad for Mustafa Ali in all this. Does he still have the title shot at GAB, but it’s just against Dominik now?

He earned this, dude's one of the top heels in all of wrestling and in ring he's played so much more to his strengths
Glad he got rewarded for what has been a fantastic year of character growth from him

Given the reactions he gets on a weekly basis man, I'm sorry, but you're probably not gonna change WWE's mind on their decisions on a guy who is killing it with the vast majority of crowds Now you know how I feel about Charlotte lmfao |

Dom generates as much heat as Phoenix in the summer, whoever beats him is gonna be made.
And look at how happy Finn and Priest are for Dom. They may have their differences, but they're happy for their friend.

I realise this idea was only ever in my head, but I really wish they’d said f*** it, let’s make him world heavyweight champion instead. It wouldn’t have to be a long reign, but Dom somehow wangling his way to WHC whilst Finn and Priest bicker would have been majestic.
Anyway, when he drops the NA it needs to be on PPV and it needs to be Dragunov beating the everloving piss out of him.

I haven’t seen the footage yet but I hope that dead beat dad Rey Mysterio came out to congratulate his son like a real father would!

I assume that this will play into Finn’s paranoia because he’s going to lose to Seth again and everyone else has gold or the Briefcase.
Wes wasn’t doing much for me as champ anymore anyways. He was having good matches but that’s about it really. 🤷🏻♂️

YouTube vid has about 3x as many views as the next most watched from last night's show. I never watch anything from NXT these days but had to seek this out.
The ref seeing Priest in the ring irks me admittedly but it was a great moment still.
