You really think Riley would have thought they were calling him in to give him a raise?

With everything I've read about Riley? Absolutely.

RAGE RILEY!!!


I'm surprised Vince hasn't called up No Way Jose yet. That seems like a tailored made Vince gimmick.

There was very little talk online about NXT TV the last 2-3 weeks will be interesting to see if there's a post-CWC uptick in interest or did the CWC manage to hurt NXT just by comparison for a long time to come.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by that last bit. Are you saying less people might watch NXT because of the CWC? Wouldn't that draw people in, due to having a few NXT guys in?

Coherently booked tournaments rule because they invest every match with meaning, which is often sorely lacking in the WWE product and why NJPW and CMLL are the best major promotions. CMLL booking is laughably nonexistent much of the year but their tournaments have all had logical winners.

Her look and music are better now too. Inexperienced or not, I think I can buy her as an underdog type now, which is something I'm not seeing at all in Liv Morgan, for example.

I'm still loving Billie Kay's entrance but that's about it.

He's probably referring to the fact that people were skipping NXT due to burnout and wanting to watch the CWC.

It's what I've been doing, at least. I can only take so much wrestling in a week.

The cruisers are apparently working both Raw and NXT. Also the plan was for them to tour with NXT and not the main roster, but that last part was weeks ago so who knows.

Like I want to root for Andrade, but I just don't think NXT has the juice (let alone the willingness) to get him over when the TNA guys and the title pictures eat up all the TV time. We scoffed at Rovert when he went hard against Eric Young but I see where he came from now. At least one of these older big name guys should be putting younger talent over and building them toward the main event. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Andrade would really benefit from a heel turn. Teaming him up with Cedric, then turning him after a loss would be the easy and cliche way to do it, but at least it's something to shake him up.

Definitely, he was working a bit heelish at Takeover and looked way better.
