I was really hoping they would do an angle that involved Drake getting in the ring for a while, especially back during the brief window when Solomon Crowe was on TV.

Nia Jax could really use a more aggressive sounding entrance theme. Lyrics notwithstanding, the tune is too upbeat and poppy for her character.

Joe's only been in NXT a year now but it feels so much longer because he's entrenched himself so well into everything by being so awesome. Motivated killer beast Samoa Joe is awesome.

I've only been watching NXT since last year, has Dana Brooke ever been a face? She seems really nice on Breaking Ground.

Who doesn't love playtime? She's a natural heel except maybe in Germany, where she is face due to her love for efficiency.

Dana is great. Like, when she came up she was green as hell and tried to do straight heel stuff horribly and I couldn't stand her promos, but she worked up a nice character alongside Emma, improved somewhat in the ring and became more of an overconfident goober than the "uber woman" she used to be when she came up.

I'm a fan of Stroud, but yeah, he silently changed his opinion of Dana on the B&W of NXT for her debut post facto. It was not great.

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



I mean, Dana is still pretty limited in the ring but her character work is really solid and she's mostly working with more experienced women who can work hard to hide her weaknesses so it doesn't matter. It'd be a different story if she was being pushed like a Bella Twin or something but she's at just the right level for her abilities at the moment. And she comes off as very sweet and motivated to improve on Breaking Ground so I'm happy to wish good on her.

Breaking Ground was probably my favorite original show on the network just because it connects the viewer so much more closely with the performers. Dana, Carmella, and even Baron Corbin all came out of the show with a lot more goodwill in my opinion. It was even endearing to see Mojo Rawley in it, because just knowing that the character he plays is just him turned up to 11 is kind of humanizing. I think the Sabbatelli guy is the only one who came out looking worse than before.

Breaking Ground ruled, but it solidified my opinion that Corbin doesn't even like wrestling and shouldn't be near a ring. That show outed him for being a legit grumpy bellend with zero charisma.

Mojo came off amazing, especially during the segment where Nia is debuting her pretty awful ring gear.
