I have zero faith in the Evolution card being any good outside of a select few matches. Charlotte is likely going to get a match against someone like Beth Phoenix or Lita. Asuka possibly someone like Brie, etc. Meanwhile the only good matches on the card will be Io Shirai vs Toni Storm, and Kairi Sane vs ??? (Probably Shayna or Bianca).

Been saying for a while they're lowkey giving Styles the Punk title run Still 0 PPVs as champ he's main evented that have had both brands on it, not even the one he got to face Brock on. Punk might get the W in that category though, Punk at least had a main event with Dwayne, but Dwayne has better things to do than a SD opponent if he ever comes back for #OneMoreMatch

Yeah I was just reading about NXT salaries the other day and it just seemed like it would pretty hard to pull in most top indie talents these days with just a 65k salary.

Just a PSA, but it seems like in terms of Evolution matches, the main roster is going to get completely blown to pieces compared to the NXT Women's Title match (Probably Kairi vs ??? [Shayna or Bianca probably]), and Mae Young Classic Finals (Io Shirai vs Toni Storm). While the main roster will have...Nikki Bella vs Ronda Rousey, and Trish Stratus vs Alexa Bliss. Hell, War Games is likely going to be better for the women as well. Because we'll likely either get Kairi vs Io or Kairi vs Toni at War Games.

I mean. Kairi, Io and Toni are better than anyone on the main roster anyway so that’s inevitable no matter what they do for matchups.

Lol if you think that Vince won’t neuter the gently caress out of the NXT women’s title match or the MYC finals the same way he did the cruiserweight final at Wrestlemania. He gives zero gently caress and will absolutely turn something good to poo poo if he’s worried it’ll get over more than the thing he wants over.

Yeah I doubt Vince will neuter the potentially good matches probably because he'll have no loving clue about any of the women in it. And like Aphrodite said, he may not even show up since its a Women's PPV, so it'll likely be spearheaded by Triple H and Stephanie.

And one of those guys found a way to get himself fired/released and the other is trapped in “you owe us dates and we crossed a threshold of investment in you so we actually care about you going elsewhere” purgatory because he wanted out of cruiserweight purgatory. I wonder what sort of money Neville is owed that he refuses to give up that prevents them from just cutting him that check and saying “best of luck, future endeavors, etc.” or if they are trying to ratfuck him on his release by trying to block him working for any company with a TV deal or something and he refuses because he knows ROH/NJPW/World of Sport/Impact/indies like MLW all would offer him dates and good quotes within like an hour of the announcement going live. This should be a hint of the end point for most 205 guys.

It’s a nice validation of his talent that WWE utterly refuses to release him on any terms, but it’s also a tremendously hosed up thing that has, stacked with countless other things, basically erased my interest in the company. rare Magic card l00k posted:I mean this is the purpose of NXT so why would 205 Live be different. Considering Gran Metalik had the obvious warning sign of Mistico’s excursion into the company as a warning sign, he doesn’t really have anyone to blame but himself for his current situation. As well as everyone else, who just had to look at the fact that the last time a WWF non-heavyweight division was of any import, the title was in New Japan. I wonder how many of those guys look at Zack and Ibushi and regret the choice they made. Man, remember when they let Liger work the opening match of a TakeOver just because Liger wanted to say he had worked a match in WWE at least once, just to complete his bucket list? That NXT is so far gone now.
