Said this would be lame in the spoilers thread:

quote:

WWE published the following rules for the return of Wargames on 11/18 at the NXT Takeover: Wargames event in Houston, Texas:

*All three teams will be contained inside separate shark cages by the entranceway, with a member from each team (as chosen by his respective squad) starting the match.

*After five minutes, the remaining members from one team will be released from their shark cage and allowed to enter the match.

*When another three-minute period elapses, the remaining members from a second team are released from their shark cage and enter the match.

*Following another three-minute period, the final team�s members are released from their shark cage and enter the match.

*Once all three teams have entered the WarGames Match, a victory can be attained via pinfall or submission.

So, teams can win via pinfall.

There is also no clear distinction as to whether there will be a roof over the cages.

Two things I've heard:

Obviously no blood.

I heard there wasn't a roof on the cage for the record - they will get lowered into cage via a crane/linch in your shark cage.

When the wrestlers involved first heard about it they were PISSED and huddled together and tried to figure out how they could make it work. Expect weapons to be snuck into the cage.

I don't hate that as much as I expected to base on rovert's warnings.

Other than the in theory time saving it is loving stupid.

Forget this.

There's at least one more confirmed release to be announced.

Not so sure Dain actually took Fulton's spot.

More Dain was a later arrival in NXT/America due to waiting on a VISA and Fulton getting hurt coincided.

Rovert, any idea if there are more cuts planned? I mean I wouldn't be shocked if TM-61 could be on the chopping block, partially because the only match they've worked recently is a dark match, and they pretty much got squashed, from what I understand.

The person who told me about Leo said Sawyer and Leo were the only two they knew. Both seriously injured.

TM-61 are fine.

Anyway NXT followed through with what was said on TV this week:

Apparently, he's just looking for attention.

At a time he should lay low but YOLO.

This finally happened

quote:

Josh Bredl, who won a WWE contract in the most recent season of Tough Enough, was released by the company at the end of last week, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Bredl had been rechrisitened Bronson Mathews after winning his WWE deal and moving to Florida to join the WWE Performance Center at the end of 2015. He had not been used in a long time and had not even been training at the PC after what was said to have been concussion-related issues.

Wait... NXT had a white supremacist tag team?

Be more specific.

I assume you mean Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler who according to fans gave off that vibe:

I believe they've changed up their look since.

During tonight's Monday Night Raw taping in Atlanta, GA, it was announced that WWE NXT would be running the former home of WCW Saturday Night, Center Stage, on Thursday 1/4/18 as well as well as Thursday 2/1/18 and Friday 2/2/18. The belief among those we've checked with is that NXT will be taping TV on those dates.

Center Stage was the home of WCW's Saturday evening tapings from 1989 through 2000. After WCW closed, a number of promotions have run the venue, including the original ECW (which taped a TV taping they never used in January 2000) as well as Ring of Honor, which broadcast iPPVs from the venue, among others.

NXT has utilized the venue in the past for live events as well.

The move to Atlanta seems to be more related to Full Sail using the usual venue for graduation services rather than the crowd being poo poo.

Also doing the maths NXT will have their entire Wrestlemania build taped by February.

Also means Ciampa likely needs to get healthy early February

I'm not one of those people that think Peyton Royce is amazing and deserves the title, but I do love all the videos of the Iconic Duo harassing other wrestlers and generally being adorable together. So go Peyton, long may she reign.
