It's goofy and light, a perfect fit for Saturday Morning Slam or a fun little segment once in a while.

Honestly, SMS is such a great show. Every week I usually say to myself several times over the course of the show "this is exactly the kind of shenanigans that should be taking place on Saturday Morning Slam."

Yeah, I wish I got the CW so I could watch it as it was meant to be seen: with constant advertisements for action figures and sugary cereal.

Bo Dallas & Adrian Neville vs. Wyatt Family
Raw recap
Commentary kerfuffle!
Paige & Sasha vs. Summer & Audrey
Conor O'Brien vs. Big E Langston


Alternate link.

BradMad on commentary! Sucks for Oliver Grey, but you'd think they'd strip them of the tag titles. I guess they did just have a tournament. Sasha Banks is really impressing me so far - once again, the NXT diva division is better than the WWE division. Do they add Conor's eye glow in post, or is he wearing glowing contacts? Hopefully the recaps are reduced after WM.

NEXT WEEK: REGAL VS. OHNO!!!

Conor wears contacts that glow under the black light, yeah. NXT's too low-budget to add that in in post.

Obviously too early to say how he'll end up, but I still maintain the luchador gimmick could have worked if given the chance, especially since fans loving love simple chants.

I can understand the WWE's aversion to full face masks, but a mask like his that exposes the eyes and mouth enables a guy to be expressive and connect to the crowd without a problem.

Him, USA Guy, and if the recent rumors are true, Mascarita Dorada, should form a face stable called the North American Free Fighting Alliance, and feud with Swagger, if only for the paranoid ranting promos from Zeb about how they are a plot by the NWO to create a North American Union and institute the Amero. I really want them to just go fullbore conspiracy theorist with Zeb and Swagger after Mania.

WWE's apparently pretty high on Mojo Rawley who was pretty fun/energetic (if green) when I saw him at an NXT show so I've been hoping that they just team him up with Bateman and call them Party in the USA.

I've been expecting that to show up, but I expected it to take after the regular title. Thankfully that doesn't seem to have happened. Also it's apparently being referred to as the NXT Women's Championship. I expect SDR might have had a hand in that.

I have to say I'm loving all the attention NXT's getting at Axxess. The titles are on display alongside the main roster ones, NXT guys are in the program and there seems to be more of an effort to push that these guys are worth caring about. I know the official Twitters have been showing photos and video of Paige and Sami Zayn doing their thing. Zayn looks like he's gonna get strapped to the rocket when he debuts.

Adrian Nevile and Luke Harper need to get moved up to the main roster now. They're ready.
