NXT

Honestly, it wouldn’t be very surprising to see both the NXT Championship and the NXT Women’s Championship change hands next week in addition to the Cruiserweight Championship changing hands. Angel Garza has a bright future ahead of him, both in WWE and in the form of a marriage. It was a very smart business move … Read moreEnd-of-Year Title Changes

There will be an NXT Championship match on December 18 to compete with AEW and Chris Jericho’s title defense (maybe WWE came up with it first). I could see this turning into a fatal four-way match between Adam Cole, Keith Lee, Tommaso Ciampa, and Finn Balor at Takeover: Portland in February 2020, which is a … Read moreTitle Match on December 18

Everyone in the WWE universe could’ve foreseen that a second NXT Title victory for Finn Balor was in the works when he returned October 2. A superstar with that much star power is perfect to carry the third brand of WWE into the future. By the time the next Takeover rolls around, Adam Cole will … Read moreBalor Title Win Inevitable

It looks like Finn Balor will begin a rivalry in place of the one he was supposed to have with Johnny Gargano until Gargano’s injury heals. This was very much expected, and the rivalry will be with Matt Riddle. Riddle will be taken out of the WarGames match at Takeover and be replaced by Dominick … Read moreContrasting NXT and AEW

This episode of NXT (in my humble opinion) went down a bit just a few weeks before Takeover: War Games. The aspect of the show that stuck out most was the fact two young superstars: Taynara and Angel Garza, proved their worth in NXT by picking up victories which typically are signs of good things … Read moreYoung Superstars Shining

I think it’s safe to say most members of the WWE universe saw the announcement of the men’s WarGames match coming. However, it’s a huge announcement that the women of NXT will get the opportunity to make history in the first-ever Women’s WarGames match. This segment definitely could have been the main event, but it’s … Read moreFirst Women’s WarGames Match

So, this is what Finn Balor meant when he said that his future in WWE would not be like his past. I have to say it’s a refreshing character change for him because he’s never been a heel during his WWE tenure. It seems WWE set up two matches for Takeover: Wargames in the main … Read moreBalor Heel Turn

It’s quite clear why Tommaso Ciampa returned to NXT: To wrap up his rivalry with Johnny Gargano which has lasted for years. Gargano and Ciampa are both skilled and experienced enough to go to the main roster, but Triple H has built NXT so that it puts particular emphasis on long-standing storylines. He feels that … Read moreWhy Ciampa Returned

Finn Balor may be at the forefront of an emerging trend in WWE. He is taking slightly less money by going back to NXT in exchange for more overall flexibility to spend time with family and have more free time to do things that contribute to his own personal happiness. I’d take that deal because … Read moreBalor’s Trend

It’s looking like NXT could have some stiff competition in the form of AEW. The presentation of AEW on TNT is very similar to that of WCW back in the day, which makes sense because WCW used to air on the same network. It’s a beautiful thing to see Tommaso Ciampa healthy, as he has … Read moreCiampa and Balor Return

NXT has had a beautiful opportunity over the past two weeks to establish it itself as the premier wrestling show on cable TV before AEW’s deal when TNT starts on October 2 – and they absolutely nailed it. What I think people love about NXT, and the reason it is able to separate it itself … Read more3 Title Matches Next Week

Draping The Undisputed Era in gold is a very smart business decision on the part of Triple H to begin NXT’S new frontier on USA, which is sure to grow in the future. As a new audience on USA gets more and more accustomed to the format of the show, they will want more, and … Read moreUndisputed Prophecy Fulfilled
