Cole is right about Tyson looking like a total goon on Total Divas. Of course Natty manages to look worse.

I'm legit pretty hype for this show. Much, much more than Payback.

I don't even like regular NXT episodes and I'm more hyped for this than Payback. At least most of the card's new to me.

Are they trying to start up some angle for when Tyson loses?

Natalya should lose by distraction when the tron cuts to a live feed of their house where Ariane is partying with Vincent.

This may or may not be correct.

Tyson Kidd looks like he should be home playing Call of Duty or something.

It's so weird that Michael Cole is now the interview authority. The one that brings gravitas and seriousness to the table. That used to be JR and the transition is very jarring, especially after a year and a half of awful heel Michael Cole.

Me too; I'm so much more invested in NXT than anything on the main shows right now.

It's kind of silly to hear Natalya talk like the NXT championship means a lot to her though.

I actually haven't given a gently caress about NXT since Arrival and like at least one angle on the main shows (Shield/Evolution). NXT has no credible singles heels and it really makes me not care much.

Heel Cole wound up being a pretty savvy move. It's like when they rolled out New Coke, then went back to Coca-Cola Classic and it seemed great and refreshing even though it was the same poo poo as before.

I hope they bring in Kevin Steen as a big heel presence. Maybe Devitt? Not sure people would buy Devitt in the role but we'll see.

Ahaha Heyman

It started last week where it seemed pretty obvious that they're prepping him for a heel turn. There was also a bit in the Observer this week, though, saying they're thinking of putting him under a mask because while he's a very good wrestler they feel that "Tyson Kidd" has been kind of damaged and will never be seen as anything other than a prelim guy.

Wouldn't be surprised for them to SWERVE and make it Neville or something silly. If Heyman would do the NXT tapings, it would give Neville a mouthpiece that he sorely needs.

There was a dark period after arrival but i definitely think it's gotten back to what's made it fun in the first place, and the credible heel problem extends far beyond NXT.

I actually won't mind if they keep Zayn down in NXT for a while if Steen's coming simply because he and Steen have such amazing chemistry it'd be almost impossible for even WWE creative to gently caress up a tag team or feud with them.

They're right. It's a shame they only worked this out after they made Hunico the new Sin Cara

Something tells me they won't be reaching into the Hart family's past for ideas there.
