"this is unprecedented"
Clearly Vic didn't watch Hogan/Giant at Halloween Havoc.

Ethan has to win, you can build to Trick winning it back on the first show on the CW.

Welp, Trick's gone after Sunday. WWE giving me Ricochet vs Trick for Ilja's affections to distract me from Dom's situation

NXT delivers great go-home episodes for their big shows, I find. Careful, you're not allowed to praise NXT these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So... Raw or SD for Trick? I feel like he’s a natural fit for smackdown, he has a much easier road to a title on raw but there’s no way they’re gonna have Uso doing his chant and Trick’s chant on the same show

Is Page good in the ring? pretty underrated big fan aside, he can absolutely go but works best in matches with stakes like this That match with MJF on collision about a year ago. The promo leading up to it was great too. It's time for Ethan Page to WIN a World title somewhere.

Here are my NXT Thoughts: I was going to work on my Battleground Preview, so I can post it here, but I didn't want to miss a minute of NXT. Also, who knows what surprises they will add, so I will post my Preview later this week.
I like Ethan Page entering the building & Ava, Mr. Stone, & Security are waiting for him. Great recap of last week's NXT. Jordynne Grace VS Stevie Turner was a great showcase for Jordynne especially for fans that have never watched her in TNA. I loved her NXTNA Jacket. I can't wait to see what's next. Roxanne Perez was good on commentary. I liked their confrontation afterwards. I posted this yesterday, but it bears repeating: Jordynne Grace is the 1st time a Champion from another promotion wrestled in a Singles Match on WWE TV since Jeff Jarrett was NWA North American Champion on Raw in 1998 & the 1st Women's Champion to do it in History. OK segment with Trick Williams & Lash Legend. Interesting segment with Shawn Spears, Josh Briggs, & others. What a brutal segment with the 6 women in the Women's North American Championship Match. The 6-Woman Tag could be good, but they were all horrible on the microphone. Why do they have to make No Quarter Catch Crew a comedy act? I miss Drew Gulak. OK promo by Chase U. Thea Hail VS Jazmyn Nyx was OK. I'm still intrigued in what's going on with Chase U, Duke Hudson, Riley Osborne, & Ridge Holland. I wonder what Ethan Page has in his demands for his contract. Big week for Karl Anderson. Besides the NXT Tag Title Match, he has a Speed Match against Andrade tomorrow. What an attack on Axiom & Nathan Frazer by The O.C. I like The O.C. being thrown out. I love Shawn Spears attacking Josh Briggs & then Je'Von Evans coming out to fight. Their brawl was fun. That poor table. I can see a match between them being made for Battleground, maybe the Pre-Show. Good promo by Tony D'Angelo. Tony D'Angelo VS Damon Kemp was a pretty good Heritage Cup Match. If Kemp would have won, he would have been a 2-time Heritage Cup Champion. Good segment with Ava & Trick Williams. Interesting backstage segment with Jordynne Grace reuniting with Michin, meeting Sol Ruca & Jaida Parker. Fun interaction with Arianna Grace. Jordynne does know Arianna's dad. Weird interaction with Tatum Paxley. Great video on the NXT Underground Match between Shayna Baszler & Lola Vice. I still don't want to see it & don't care about it. Wow, busy week for Natalya as her contract expires soon. NXT has so many Women's Matches tonight. Natalya VS Izzi Dame was a nice little match. WWE getting their money's worth from Nattie on her way out, but I don't think she's going anywhere. She's too loyal to work elsewhere. Solid promo by Axiom & Nathan Frazer. Wow, Gallus attacked Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe. So, we're not getting another men's match tonight. OK promo by Gallus though they were hard to understand. Nice interruption by Oba Femi & Wes Lee & attack by Gallus. If we get more cross-promotion with TNA & NXT, I would love to see a reunion of British Strong Style VS Gallus or Wes Lee reuniting with The Rascalz. Wow, I was not expecting that promo by Wendy Choo. I think she's going to transform back to Mei Ying. That could be interesting. Fun brawl with Dante Chen & Lexis King. That could be a fun match added to Battleground. Wow, A Singapore Cane Match next week between Dante Chen & Lexis King, not at NXT Battleground. That could be fun. Michin, Jaida Parker, & Sol Ruca VS Fallon Henley, Kelani Jordan, & Lash Legend was pretty good. It was a little confusing then Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx shows up for no reason. The Sol Snatcher is incredible & this continues Parker's undefeated streak. Cool video on Eddy Thorpe. I like that they showed other Native American wrestlers, but they forgot Tatanka. Excellent promo by Ethan Page. He's going to have a great career in NXT. Nice response by Trick Williams. We have our NXT Championship Match at Battleground. Ethan Page is the 1st wrestler since Von Wagner when he lost a Fatal 4-Way to Tommaso Ciampa along with Pete Dunne & LA Knight on 9/14/21 to make his NXT debut challenging for the NXT Championship, but the 1st to do it in a 1-on-1 Match & on PPV in NXT History.
Here are my NXT Match Rankings: 1) Tony D'Angelo VS Damon Kemp 2) Jordynne Grace VS Stevie Turner 3) Michin, Jaida Parker, & Sol Ruca VS Fallon Henley, Kelani Jordan, & Lash Legend 4) Natalya VS Izzi Dame 5) Thea Hail VS Jazmyn Nyx
Though there was more focus on the Women's Division than the Men's Division, I still enjoyed NXT. The matches were all great. I'm still excited for Battleground on Sunday.
Ends NXT Thoughts. Visit darrenswinloss.wordpress.com/nxtbg to see the Complete History of #NXTBattleground before Sunday.
