Gonna be a good feud for the belt on 205

Now that Enzo's gone, 205 Live is comfortably the second best thing WWE produces again, so yeah, probably.

Yeah I think Regal will allow the match to Settle This Once And For All, and then Johnny's gone for good.

I'm telling you, heel fucks babyface over in Loser Leaves Town/Territory match? That's begging for an obvious masked man gimmick. Bonus if we get Candice and Regal acting like they have no idea who this masked stranger who does slingshot spears and superkicks to kneeling opponents is.

Murphy is in loving amazing shape these days discounting the big indie star guys is one of the better workers on the roster. However, he has the reputation for not taking direction well and having an attitude.

He probably needs to quit and comeback.

If we get a lie detector test segment with Ciampa, Regal and John Lucha, I'm going back in time and buying a ticket to that taping.

I should have come up with a bullshit reason to go back to atlanta for this taping :negative:

I guess I've seen more live NXT lately than anyone outside of Florida gets to, though, so I should be happy. Really I should probably just not check this thread tomorrow and try to hold out against spoilers, but tbh I'm now way more likely to watch the next few weeks of NXT live, so

"Quit and Comeback" is a little harder in his situation, isn't it? I think if he quits he has to gently caress off to Australia.

That seems to be the plans. There is another set of tapings in early March, however, so I wouldn't be shocked if we just get a few smaller angles shot tonight (Kairi probably being attacked by Shayna again, more Alister Black stuff, etc), and the meat of the non Dusty Classic stuff not being shot until March.

Have him come out as El Generico, and then have Sami show up shook as gently caress about it.

The next set of tapings should begin shortly. We'll see if the Gargano angle furthers anymore tonight. However, advertised for appearances/matches are Alister Black and Kairi Sane. Tonight should start the Dusty Classic stuff as well.

Ohno defeated a jobber in the dark match.

Cross defeated Bourne, the dominatrix gimmick was dropped, and this match was a retape as a result.

Adam Cole defeated Bononi.

Wow, that was fast. I mean, gimmicks can change rather quickly in developmental, but on back-to-back taping days leading to a retape? Must be some kind of record (and one hell of a negative reaction to the gimmick).

I think Borne did some vaguely homoerotic stuff in the first version (I read that she licked Nikki, I think?) that may not have played well once the higher-ups saw it.

For context, Shayna beat Kairi clean via submission, after she prevented Kairi from using the elbow drop. Like I wouldn't care under normal circumstances, but it's really not a good look for Kairi who was eliminated by Dana Brooke in the Royal Rumble, and now lost to Shayna. Makes me wonder if she has heat on her for whatever reason.

Also post match, Shayna ran to the commentary table and said she was coming after Ember again, and this time she was "either leaving with a limb, or the title." So that will probably be your Takeover: New Orleans matchup. Shayna vs Ember again. I know I'm in the minority here, but I really do not like the prospect of those two wrestling against each other again. I legitimately think it was the worst NXT Takeover Women's Match in history.

Also AOP beat TM-61 in the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Classic.

They should have just given Shayna the belt last month

The Takeover match would've been BETTER without the doctors, but it was still pretty good and clearly booked around both women's limitations, style-wise. They do need to educate people via TV matches about Shayna's style though, you can't just rely on Takeover crowds all being Zack Sabre Jr marks.
