Bo Dallas & Duty Rhodes backstage
Justin Gabriel vs. Leo Kruger
Emma vs. Aksana
Conor O'Brien vs. Corey Graves vs. Bo Dallas


Not a great NXT. Opening match was fine and I love Emma's gimmick, but other than that it was pretty flat. The only good thing about Bo being called up to the main roster is that he wasn't on NXT anymore, but alas he has returned.

Cody vs. Sheamus
Gabriel vs. Henry
Raw replay-o-rama!!!

Mark Henry is so good at what he does and the Cody/Kaitlyn story is strangely intriguing.

Had a hard time finding good uploads this week. Ah well.

It's that, but also wrenching on the knee like he's been told he'll get the Rock's Wrestlemania paycheck if he can collect 5 opponent's kneecaps. It honestly looks horrifically painful.

That and his facial expressions are really good in telling you that he really wants to destroy his opponent's legs.

I recently watched some Seth Rollins matches where he does hilarious solo hardcore pit dances during his entrance, and I can't help but wish he'd do that during Shield entrances. Just whipping elbows and fists around, smacking kids on the aisles in the face as he's windmilling his arms and picking up change.

Noticed this in this week's episode:



While I'm sure The Rock as the GM of SMS is pretty unlikely, for some reason I found it really funny that they put in Josh Matthews in the 2nd row grinning so prominently.

Neville & Grey vs. Judas Devlin & Scott Dawson
Leo Kruger vs. Yoshi Tatsu
Sasha, Cameron, & Naomi vs. Aksana, Audrey, & Alicia
Bo Dallas interview
Summer Rae interview
Shield promo
Graves vs. Dallas vs. O'Brien


Oh man, Judas Devlin is hilarious - what a terrible look. Wonder where Kassius has been lately? The NXT diva roster is deeper than the main roster, which is where Naomi should be working. Bo Dallas' poo poo eating grin irks me something fierce. Summer Rae is so, so, so terrible. Interesting developments in the main event, though the fact that Graves' leg was under the ropes anyway kind of took away some of the drama.

I was promised Brad Maddox on commentary, and Miz is no Brad Maddox. Miz is the worst.

Oops, I missed the last match on my first viewing. I figured once HHH started talking that the non-recap portion of the show was over. Glad I caught it, as it was a fun little bout - I wouldn't be opposed to a series of matches between those two.
