Baron Corbin has been better ever since he shaved his head.

End of Days is good. Deep Six is good. His ran outside, then ran back inside and lariat is good. His chokeslam backbreaker is good. He has a bunch of offense that looks and feels super impactful, but no way to tie it into a cohesive story.

Baron is another example of the performance center's lovely training. Imagine how good he could be with an excursion to Japan and Mexico

Apparently Nikki got called up today at the tapings. And the rest of Sanity showed up too. Remember them?

I'm glad they kept Nikki cross down in developmental for six extra months so they could have her get beat in her debut in front of 3000 people

I'm thinking they brought her out now because she's Scottish and they are in the UK. That's probably the extent of the thought they put into it.

Nah, Mandy came out later in the night in place of Charlotte and people are reading way too much into it thinking that Team Smackdown will lose as a result (its almost certainly a storyline). Yeah no. If Smackdown wins the 5 vs 5, then Becky is losing at Survivor Series.

Having someone come in and lose to the champ, especially as a heel, is really bad writing even if it isn't a squash. How is a 6 minute loss going to make anyone who doesn't watch NXT give a gently caress?

The match should have never been run if that was the case.

This is also pretty obviously like when Dunne wrestled Enzo on Raw. Not a call-up, but a "hey, we're in the UK, let's give them a local girl to cheer". It would've been Paige if her neck wasn't made of glass now.

Would the average Englishman even consider a Scot to be "the local girl" any more than an Irishwoman? Might as well bring in Mark Andrews to job for Drew McIntyre.
