would finn balor be better served as the people's NXT champ for a long run than as a midcard guy in the big leagues?

Uh.... Yeah. It's brutal as gently caress.

I have always been a fan of it, but that one just kind of looked meh - does he always get it from the turnbuckles or can he perform it from someplace else also?

I wasn't as crazy about Bayley/Nia as y'all, but 3 out of 5 great matches isn't bad.

He did it off a 15-20 foot ladder against Owens in Japan.

Joe admitted that what he did was terrible but necessary to get his title shot. I love that now he has nothing to show for that, and that this is just going to drive him to greater loathing and rage.

He called for the trainers, I'm wondering if they're about to set up an angle with somebody else (maybe even Joe) coming down to put a beating on him while he's recovering.

Nah, that's it, it's only a 2 hour thing. Finn was being evaluated and they were just waiting for him to get up so he could do his pose

just the turnbuckles. he did a standing double stomp on Joe near the end of the match and the announcers called it what it was. it used to be better-looking when he started in NXT but he's done it so many times I think he's more focused on not hurting the guy so he tucks the legs more now and readies himself for a fall

Finn is a long term champ for NXT and Bayley just won the belt not that long ago. She's only had two defenses.

e: Finn definitely looked messed up but I'm not surprised. That match was pretty brutal.

Joe went toe to toe with the Demon and by the slimmest of margins fell short

Check out the Bloody Sunday. It should 100% be Finn's finisher, but the double stomp does own.

i think that was one the weaker takeovers but even then it was an incredibly easy to watch show with a lot of variety. See you in Dallas, NXT

I was hoping they had padding time for an extra match, like for Jordan & Gable or another one, even if it was gonna be a run-in gently caress finish
