I thought Ibushi hadn't signed? Bit weird to have him stick through the CWC and now this if he's just going to bugger off at the end.

Carmella simply should not have been moved on, and though Alexa and Nia are both doing fine on SD/Raw, another month or two in NXT wouldn't have harmed either of them. Essentially NXT's womens' division has been brought back to where it started, when Paige was wrecking everyone and the likes of Sasha and Bayley had no character and were either jobbing out or playing underling to Summer Rae. It took a few months (and Paige getting called up) for the division to get good, and it'll take a few months to recover again this time.

First time Aliyah's not looked completely rough, but she still has no character. But also I irrationally loathe anybody who wears those cat ear headbands, so.

Ember is cool and wrestles good and is pretty; I wish she had something to do other than just kill another random each week. See also: Asuka. If only there was some way of using two undefeated women who each need a worthy opponent...

She's 4'11"; two inches shorter than Alexa. It'll be fun seeing how far Becky can throw her around.

The NXT title does look too much like it should be an X-Division belt, and there have been a few too many "oh my god, it's [wrestler predominantly known for their work in TNA]! What's HE doing here?!", which itself is a very TNA-esque trope, but other than that, yeesh. I'm scared to even begin unpacking the horror of likening Asuka to Gail Kim. Let's not imply that a Canadian-Korean and a Japanese lady are the same thing, please.

I still can't get over the juxtaposition of Ember being a ninja from Texas. Also still don't 'get' Aliyah's cat ears. Is that an anime thing still, or was it a legitimate fashion 12 months ago that WWE's caught up to?

It's not like the division would be any better if Asuka wasn't as dominant or not there. Ember's the only other good worker, and none of the others are even that great at character work. These aren't the days of the four horsewomen, or Alexa, and the division is even more starved than when Paige was dominating just as hard as Asuka is. Liv, Peyton, Billie, and Aliyah are not good, and Nikki's tied up with Sanity bollocks. Until Nikki can get some space and the other women improve, yeah, the division's screwed. You can't carry a division entirely on the back of Asuka vs Ember, and bringing Asuka down isn't going to help, either.

There was a decent chant of her name (while the commentators all fell over each other to shout "who is she?!" the loudest), which is better than most new faces in NXT get. Clearly a fair chunk of the audience knew who she was.

I'd say PVRIS were, if they didn't blow so hard live. Props to Babymetal at least they can perform. ed: no gently caress me anyway, PVRIS were for a WWE event, not NXT. Welp, Babymetal definitely #1 for NXT, then.

I can't believe Hideo Itami closely-lost one match against a guy with a more popular theme tune, and now is Always Bad and must leave the company like the unsalvageable sinking ship that he so clearly is. What a useless, hopeless jobber.

There's no evidence that anybody is 'NXT Forever'. People thought Samoa Joe might be a permanent resident, and look how quickly he moved on to where he is now. Everybody on NXT is going to either bottom out and leave or move on to Raw/SD eventually. Some might do it in months and others may take a year or two, but WWE isn't going to hire people specifically to sit in developmental forever.

Roman was in FCW for two years, finished up in NXT for four months, then spent two years in The Shield before actually main eventing solo. So yeah, Joe is way ahead of that trajectory.

Wazzu posted:Have they really named Velveteen Dream's (still a bad wrestler name) finisher "the Velveteen rainmaker"? What a poo poo name, and does anyone really think his elbow drop is going to be what people think when they hear rainmaker? The whole gimmick is trash and he isn't remotely close to making it work either sincerely or ironically, so it's fine, I doubt we'll be hearing about the 'velveteen rainmaker' very often or for very long.
