Welcome to the post Helmsley Era of NXT.

Our Current NXT Poster of the week:


NXT Champion Bron Breakker


NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose

I couldn’t find trace of any NXT thread anymore. This show has gotten better, I doubt anyone will be posting here but me and maybe Darkstar. I welcome all to watch NXT with your posting friends. If anyone posts something really funny i’ll add it to the OP or something.

NXT on USA Network, Tuesday LIVE at 8pm Eastern Standard Time from the NXT Arena

Fallon Henley is a hell of a choice for a name. She had a good come back though, the spinning shoulder tackle is cool.

CM Punk/ Nash texting storyline was ahead of it’s

They could get Muse at least.

This show was kind of front loaded, the back half has too much wrestling.

Comes cheap when it’s an empty shower with “don’t cry” painted on the walls.

Also iphone text messages were appearing on the tron, weird segment.

I think we all do. But let's not kid ourselves, KLR/Io going over.

Plus it'd be weird for friends of the tag champs to go against the tag champs unless there was some well-illustrated plot to have Dakota/Wendy reconsider siding with Toxic Attraction.

So you know, it'd be weird plot wise.

WWE never sticks the landing but I agree NXT is what women’s divisions in America should be more like, it’s booked so evenly with the men in NXT even more so than main roster WWE.

My mind went blurred after that angle because I guess gently caress the Women's Dusty Cup? Also do the runners-up get the tag title shots? And how rushed is the build to THAT gonna be since they're allies with the loving champs

Dakota and Wendy aren't allies with Toxic Attraction. They didn't like the interference.

Wendy is a face and they turned Dakota face again by putting her in this team.

It airs 8pm, Tuesdays on USA Network, while NXT LVL UP airs 10pm Fridays on Peacock & NXTUK doesn't exist but if it did it'd air Thursday at 3pm on Peacock, all times are EST. Or EDT I guess.

I assume NXT goes up on the Network outside the US but I'd have to subscribe to it to know that & I'm not giving WWE any money until they stop being bankrolled by Saudi Arabia

There's speculation Gigi was injured which is why this happened. Mandy also mentioned last week after she beat down Cora that she would "face any number of women at any time", so the seed was planted last week.

Although honestly the match is going to be better off with KLR and Io in it, because otherwise Mandy/Cora was going to be incredibly rough on its own. Cora is still incredibly green and lacks a ton of credibility, and Mandy is just outright awful.

They probably gave the Dusty Cup to Io/KLR because it was the last real thing Io was missing in NXT, and barring her winning at Stand and Deliver, she's probably main roster bound, unfortunately.

I guess it makes more sense now on the outside. Just, not sure why they had to throw down the Dusty Cup to get a four way going. With how lawless it is in kayfabe, I'd imagine jumping the champ would work just as fine- if not better.
