Welp Authors of Pain defeated DIY. Revival cost the DIY the match. TM61 then beat Sanity off a flash pin. Dusty Classic finals are AOP vs. TM61 again. their last couple matches were not good.

STOP DOING HEROIN
With Aries out (and presumably missing the post-Toronto taping), I wonder who they'll set up as Nakamura's next challenger. Will they really go with Roode? That's probably not a bad idea, but it doesn't scream "Takeover main event" to me even with the glorious music.

If the rumors are true and Nak is the face of NXT for the long haul (which is a stupid idea because he should be up and setting up a Mania program like tomorrow, but I digress), then who's next down the line? Joe pretty much has to be on the main roster if/when he loses at Toronto. They could always run Aries when he's healthy, but who's left? Almas? Maybe hotshot Roddy to fill AA's spot? Hideo/Nak is a potential money match, but we can't count on Hideo staying healthy long enough to see it through.

If they're really bringing in Rush and Volador Jr., an Almas/Nakamura feud might well work in the same way that Reigns/Styles worked so well. Otherwise, they're going to throw Roode at Nakamura and it will be glorious.

Screw Roode/Nakamura, I want Dillinger/Nakamura. He spent so much time as a jobber, but now he's red hot. This is the perfect time to redo Sami's storyline using the momentum he would get by beating Roode. Have him go on a big quest all the way to the next Takeover, beating all the dudes who crushed him along the way, all the former champions (except Joe), with Sami himself coming last to complete the parallel. Have him ultimately face the invincible Nakamura for the strap and achieve the impossible. Put NXT back in the hands of someone the crowd sees as an NXT guy instead of an Indy Name.

NXT does a poor job by giving too many people winning streaks. Asuka should've dropped one to Emma. Nakamura should've lost some sorta multiman where he wasn't pinned at least. It's boring and bad.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Ideally you would keep your champions strong and your contenders just as strong via matches with others and segments. But they don't have to build challengers because Joe vs. nakamura is our future. Plus both champions are Mary Sues that need super credible opponents, because they are much cooler and stronger than everyone else.

But Joe has already lost and Ember Moon is a ghost, so.

Tye shouldn't be in the main event, NXT is not a striver's show anymore. The way to approach an over guy coming out of the jobber pool when your main event talent absolutely has to look better than everyone else is to give him a strong midcard title run so that he can back up his challenges to the big names. NXT has no midcard belt and an hour a week. Give up on Tye as a contender.

I like her signing, maybe she can have a unique style like Daria. They need to be more diverse in the women they bring in going forward, maybe some amateur wrestlers and the like instead of mostly fitness models and cheerleaders.

Tim Wiese gives his in-ring debut tomorrow when the WWE resides in Munich for a house show in a six-man tag team match together with Cesaro and Sheamus against Bo Dallas and the Shining Stars. Apparently he goes under the ring name "The Machine".

Will probably still be some time till he appears on NXT given that he literally only started training this year and this is probably them throwing him a bone given that the show is in germany.

He's a jobber to the stars and won't make it further than Zack Ryder. Despite WWE trying to sabotage him out of spite for daring to get over when he wasn't supposed to, Ryder had basically hit his ceiling by being US champion.

Yeah, he's currently training in Essen (which probably means with wXw's school) and he probably wants to get down the mere basics before reporting to the PC.

who is this ring announcer man and how is his hair and beard game so perfect.

Glad to see TM61 and GarCiamp advance even though there is that asterisk there for each of them. I still feel that my handsome friend Johnny G and my vaguely terrifying friend Tommaso should be given title shots and medals and large cash prizes. I still want to see the Authors of Pain face Tucker Knight and his enormous friend whose name escapes me.

I was only like 30 minutes late! But yeah it's not great.

Also I gotta say I like the idea of Sanity more than I like Sanity, man. Like I love their entrance and their whole thing but when that danged old bell rings it's a couple of doughy dudes doing moves. Like I don't know what I want them to do, I guess just runins?

That's how I feel. If the tag team was a couple of jacked dudes (or even just Wolfe and anyone but Fulton), they'd be much more acceptable. Eric Young isn't bad as a weirdo leader and Nikki Cross is great as the rabid pug.

Pretty decent episode tonight. I like that the Dusty Classic is a tournament that goes on tour and there are a bunch of stories woven into the brackets.

Ironic that the best match of TM61's run so far was a singles match. Wish Roddy didn't lose his second match but Nakamura's boot sort of made that decision for NXT.

I think the Revival dropping out would have been better placed after the AoP match because then they get to deny DIY the match and also look like cowards for avoiding AoP in the brackets.
