Pillman is a shitty Austin Theory. Theory can at least wrestle, but Lexis is at least unintentionally funny. It's a wash!

Even a weaker NXT episode is better than every other wrestling show on TV. No one has it better than us. A weak NXT and less active thread is good for my anti bird girl agenda. I blame myself for not feeling well today and napping until 7:30

I already took the least watched World Series Graphic and made a least watched NXT Women's title match and it's all for not!

If only there was a Twitter account whose sole gimmick is covertly filming NXT indiscretions was around to film the Trick parking lot assaultβ¦

I blame myself for not feeling well today and napping until 7:30 I felt off my game tonight and it showed. But unlike the Raw and SD fans, we NXTers take responsibility for ourselves and learn from our failures!

Here are my NXT Thoughts & Facts & Stats:
Before getting to NXT, I would like to give my thoughts about the announcement that NXT will be moving to The CW as of October 2024. I think it's an awesome move. The CW is a major network that every TV has. CW canceled most of their schedule so there's a lot of free space there & hopefully NXT will get new viewers by this move. It should do great no matter what day it will air.
Akira Tozawa VS Noam Dar was a fun match. Chad Gable in a Heritage Cup Match would rule, but also a Mixed Tag could be fun between Alpha Academy & Meta-Four. Maxxine Dupri who only has had 3 matches is still a better wrestler than Lash Legend who has had 40 matches on TV. FACT: This was the 1st Heritage Cup Match since No Mercy on 9/30 & 1st on NXT TV since 8/22. This was Akira Tozawa's 1st Heritage Cup Match in his Career & 2nd week in a row someone wrestled on Raw & NXT in the same week. If Akira Tozawa would have won, he would have been the 1st 1st-time Champion since Nathan Frazer & the 1st to be a former WWE 24/7 Champion & Cruiserweight Champion. This was Noam Dar's 19th Heritage Cup Rules Match in his Career & 1st since he defeated Butch at No Mercy on 9/30 giving him a Heritage Cup Match Rules Record of 14-4-1. This was Noam Darβs 2nd Heritage Cup Championship Defense, so if he would have lost, he would have been the 2nd in a row to lose in his 2nd Defense. As of NXT, Noam Darβs Heritage Cup Championship Reign has lasted 77 Days, which is the 3rd Shortest Reign of All-Time ahead of Nathan Frazer (6/13/23-8/22/23, 70 Days) & Mark Coffey (7/14/22-8/25/22, 42 Days). This was the 3rd 1-on-1 Match between them after Raw on 2/27/17 & 205 Live on 9/19/17, with Tozawa winning both previous times. It's always great to see Mick Foley. I loved the idea of legends making Iron Survivor Qualifying Matches instead of the matches being made randomly, though last year they had the legends discussing the wrestlers with Shawn Michaels. Awful segment with the women. Everyone needs acting lessons. OK segment with Lyra Valkyria & Xia Li. And I get where they are going with Xia taking out Becky Lynch last night so she wants Lyra Valkyria, but I wish wins & losses mattered as Xia has only won 2 matches in 2023. She should have more wins before earning a NXT Women's Title Match. Good promo by Tyler Bate. OK segment with Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen, & Fallon Henley. Fun segment with The Alpha Academy & Drew Gulak & his group. (They need a name). There's a lot of great matches that can be made & I'll take Otis VS Gulak to start off. Also, The Alpha Academy on SuperNova Sessions next week could be good. Wow, I like that Shawn Michaels gave Adrian Butler discretion for Von Wagner VS Bron Breakker after all of their history. It's going to be a war later. I wonder why Ava went into Shawn Michaels' office. Fallon Henley VS Tiffany Stratton was a decent match. Tiffany could be good in the Iron Survivor Challenge Match. FACT: This was Fallon Henley's 1st 1-on-1 Match on NXT since she lost to Cora Jade on 5/16. This was Tiffany Stratton's 1st 1-on-1 Match on NXT since lost to Becky Lynch on 9/12. This was the 5th 1-on-1 Match between them after NXT on 12/28/21 (won by Stratton), 3/8/22 (won by Henley), 5/24/22 (won by Stratton), & 6/14/22 (won by Henley), so Henley won 2 & Stratton won 3. Great promo by Wes Lee & interruption by Baron Corbin to set up a future match. OK promo by Bron Breakker. Wow. I thought Von Wagner VS Bron Breakker would be the main event. Good promo by Dijak. He needs to be used much better. Von Wagner VS Bron Breakker was short & underwhelming. What's the point of hyping the match like they did for that? At least Wagner finally gets his revenge by putting Breakker through the table, so hopefully they can both move on NXT. FACT: This was Von Wagner's 1st NXT since he lost to Bron Breakker on 9/5. This was the 1st time since he & Tommaso Ciampa defeated The Dirty Dawgs & then he lost to Dolph Ziggler along with Ciampa in a Triple Threat Match on 3/1 & 3/8/22 that Bron Breakker wrestled 2 weeks in a row on NXT. This was the 4th 1-on-1 Match between them after NXT on 11/15/22, 8/8/23, & 9/5/23, which were all won by Breakker. Another great promo by Carmelo Hayes. Looking forward to his face-to-face with Trick Williams later. Cool video from The Brawling Brutes showing the streets that they grew up on in the UK. Kelani Jordan & Roxanne Perez VS Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice wasn't anything special. Arianna Grace is bad. I wish Santino Marella wasn't in Impact because it would be funny if Santina would make an appearance in NXT to give her niece some pointers. FACT: This was Kelani Jordan's 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match on NXT since she & Dana Brooke lost to Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice on 8/29. This was Roxanne Perez's 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match since she & Meiko Satomura defeated Kayden Carter & Katana Chance on 2/14. This was Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice's 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match since they lost to Thea Hail & Jacy Jayne on 10/3. Another creepy promo by Joe Gacy. Very good promo by Ilja Dragunov & then Baron Corbin responding with Blade & Enofe & Hank & Tank. Otis VS Drew Gulak was a fun but short match. FACT: This was Otis' 1st 1-on-1 Match since he lost to Bronson Reed on Raw on 9/25. This was his only 2nd 1-on-1 Match in NXT & 1st since he lost to Tommaso Ciampa on 9/26/18 & his 1st NXT match overall since he & Tucker lost to Kyle O'Reilly & Roderick Strong on 12/28/20. This was Drew Gulak's 1st 1-on-1 Match on NXT since he lost to Trick Williams on 8/15. This was the 2nd 1-on-1 Match between them after Smackdown on 1/3/20, which was also won by Otis. This was Otis' 1st 1-on-1 win since he defeated Elias on Raw on 11/7/22 & 1st ever on NXT. OK exchange between Kiana James & Tiffany Stratton. But I love Boa & a new look Dante Chen in the background. People that watch Level Up will know what that is all about. What's in the envelope that Andre Chase got & what's his issue with Tony D'Angelo? Fun segment as usual with Chase U. Tyler Bate VS Dijak was incredible. Bate is not normal. How can someone like him lift up someone like Dijak. I love Dijak winning. He will be great in the Iron Survivor Challenge Match. FACT: This was Tyler Bate's 1st 1-on-1 Match on NXT since he lost to Butch on 9/19. This was Dijak's 1st 1-on-1 Match on NXT since he lost to Eddy Thorpe on 9/26. This was the 2nd 1-on-1 Match between them after Worlds Collide Tournament on 2/2/19, which was won by Bate, so they each won 1 match. Cool. So Jerry Lawler, JBL, & Lita will be picking the remaining Qualifying Matches. I'm looking forward to seeing who Lita choose next week. Next week's NXT will be good with a Tag Title Match. Incredible closing segment with Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. Very compelling television. Lexis King being part of it is a good way to give him a big feud. I'm interested in seeing what happens next, especially with how it ended.
Here are my NXT Match Rankings: 1) Tyler Bate VS Dijak 2) Akira Tozawa VS Noam Dar 3) Otis VS Drew Gulak 4) Fallon Henley VS Tiffany Stratton 5) Von Wagner VS Bron Breakker 6) Kelani Jordan & Roxanne Perez VS Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice
Ends a pretty good NXT. The matches were mostly excellent except for 1 or 2. The promos & backstage segments were good except for a few, but the closing angle was excellent & got me hooked for next week.

I'm guessing due to the decision to open with the Heritage Cup this show is going to get a viewership of 48 people.

This will have to make do before we have the full segment. So Big Ang is actually a wrestler called Anna Keefer. She needs to actually start coming out with and getting physical in Family matches. We need more Big Ang.
