Sorry for being too tired to stay up late with you guys last night, hopefully I won't be too tired to Dynamite with those of you who watch it
Anyways, I've seen the episode now and here's a brief summary of my thoughts
Trick Williams thanking Ilya – 2 thumbs up. Thought it was a nice touch.
‘’Whoop that era’’ – Meh - Not that keen on the name but maybe it'll grow on me.
Rest of Trick’s promo, featuring Lash Legend - 1 thumb up - Mostly because of the envelope and the sexual innuendo lol
Gigi/Arianna segment – 1 thumb up
Arianna – 2 thumbs up - She's so good at this character imo
North American Championship match – Oba Femi © v Ivar 1 thumb up -Oba is getting better imo
Wes Lee’s return – 2 thumbs up. Cool to see him return.
Chase U, Thea and Fallon backstage – 1 thumb up – Thea Hail being Thea Hail lol.
Thea Hail v Jaci Jayne - 1 thumb up
Fallon Henley punching Thea post-match – Unsurprising heel turn, also a pretty boring way to do it imo as it came across at her being more mad that one of the guys accidentally bumped into her lol – Meh.
Karmen/Natalya sparring session backstage – 1 thumb down
Gallows/Anderson v v Dupont/Igwe – 1 thumb down, not just because Gallows/Anderson won but the match was weak imo.
Confirming that the NA Women’s Championship will be crowned at.Battleground and will be a ladder match – 2 thumbs up
Jaida Parker’s promo – 2 thumbs up
Sol Ruca’s promo – 1 thumb up
Arianna Grace promo – 2 thumbs up – She’s so good lol.
Michin’s promo – Meh
Brawl – Meh – To brief lol. I was hoping for a mass brawl that continued for a little while lol.
Axiom/Frazer and Street Profits backstage – Meh
Lola/Shayna – Backstage preparation – Meh
Holland v Spears – 1 thumb down – Boring match imo
Uncle Howdy teaser during Ridge/Spears match - 2 thumbs up - Literally wasn't expecting it.
Perez/Ava backstage segment – 2 thumbs up – Perez is knocking it out of the park with this.
Lee/Briggs/Ivar segment – 1 thumb up
Final Testament backstage promo - 1 thumb up - I like it when Ellering gets to talk, also Scarlett's smile at the end when Karrion carried her was nice.
D’Angelo family video – 2 thumbs up. I'll be so sad when this faction either becomes boring or is split up.
AOP v Axiom/Frazer for the NXT Tag Team Championship – 1 thumb up. Good match.
Chase University backstage segment with Ridge – 1 thumb up just for Thea
Meta Phor – 1 thumb up just because I am interested in what’s in the envelope.
Fallon/Kelani – Meh
Enofe/Blade/Brinley – 1 thumb up – Just for Brinley Reece
Lola v Natalya – Underground – 2 thumbs up – Lots of shenanigans as expected but Lola won so right winner lol. MotN for me personally.
Announcement of Chelsea being the next contender for Roxanne’s title – 1 thumb up. Looking forward to seeing Chelsea face Roxanne.
All in all, I think I'll go with an 8 for this one. Holland/Spears match and the Gallows/Anderson v Igwe/Dupont were the low points for me but everything else was pretty good
