Pretty much entirely a two match show, the main event and the triple threat were really the only things at all good about it (though I missed the opener, at least Gallus lost) but it remained very watchable if only due to how none of the bad matches were just plain bad, they were all kind of hilariously awful. I think I'm leaning a 7?

7/10.
Gallus loses. That enough works for me. Tiffy retains. Awesome main event. Dom's froggy splash is amazing.

It had almost a Ruthless Aggression C-tier PPV energy where there's talent there in some of the matches but some blatant "people not ready for the spot their in" matches then a whole lot of just bad content with weird booking.

7. Most of the show was fine but Dom is an instant channel changer for me and Gable Steveson can f*** right off.

Dom's froggy splash is amazing. He sapped the hop energy from Roxanne's. |

Before the amazing main event it was a 7. After Ilja vs. Carmelo I'm going with an 8.
Y'all know what I loved most about this show!

I thought Blair vs. Roxanne was fun, but not everyone in the live thread thought so. |

I think I'm leaning a 7? The two women’s matches were pretty good too, no? Not really. Neither was change the channel bad but Roxxane Vs Blaire was just bland for the type of match it was that never got out of the preverbial first gear. And the submission match was messy and showed both women were absoloutley out of their element being a match revolving on submissions. |

8
- Mixed tag match was really good
- Gallus lost the titles to Tony and Stacks
- Blair/Perez was fun and hard-hitting
- A hilariously awful debut
- Thea/Stratton didn't go smooth but I get what they were going for
- Triple threat was good and had a hot finish
- Melo/Ilja was stellar
There were a lot of mistakes but I can sacrifice match quality for fun characters and results. There were still good matches mind you.

Would you agree it was the best men's NXT title match of the 2.0 era? Bron/Bate is the other I think of, but this one actually had a chance of switching hands.

Kind of a limited field because nearly every NXT title match over the last two years has had Bron in it and while he's certainly had some great matches most of the time they've just been mediocre at best. |

8/10:
Gable Stevenson was AWFUL!!
Tiffany vs. Thea was a bit rough in spots. However I can at leas understand why.
The rest of the show was awesome.

Thoughts:
Leader of Gallus has main roster potential.
He’s very good at his character.
“I don't wish no man behind bars, but it’s a great time to think”
Never change Booker.
Blair Davenport should've hit Booker T with a chair.
Fair play to the little sister for crying like that on cue.
Gable Steveson looks so nervous and lost. I kinda feel bad for him.
Sending Dom to NXT was a brilliant choice.
Fantastic ending segment. Glad Dom Dom retained.
Just call Chase U up already.
I’d be mad if someone threw in the towel for me.
I would rather have seen Lyra vs. Jacy on this show.
Schism too for that matter.
I wanted Ilja to win.
Eh.
5/10
Not sure if I'll watch the one in September, this one really didn't do it for me.

6.
Nothing to hate but they gotta find something for the nxt title at some point. I like both of those guys a lot and it was a very good match but I don’t think I’ve cared about that title in over two years now…

This was my first NXT PPV since the black and gold days.
Tag title match I zoned out during but at least Gallus lost.
Blair vs Roxanne was fun.
Steveson vs Corbin was a total mess but I at least got some satisfaction out of Steveson being just as shit a wrestler as he is a person.
NA Title triple threat was much better than I was expecting given Dom’s presence; it was easily the best I’ve seen him look in-ring.
Stratton vs Hail was not very good and Stratton has easily the worst Boston Crab I’ve ever seen.
Carmelo vs Ilja was great, though like many of the black and gold era main events, it went a bit too long and the finish was a letdown. M
Overall it was a solid enough night of rasslin. 7/10
