Natural for Adam Cole

September 7, 2019

We ended last week with Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic redefining what was possible for men of their size and new NXT Tag Team Champions. I believe they are the first team to ever win the championship on three occasions. Now all that needs to be done for The Undisputed Era is for Roderick Strong … Read moreNatural for Adam Cole

2/3 Undisputed NXT

August 31, 2019

This felt like the right time for the Street Profits to lose the NXT Tag Titles. They are starting to make appearances regularly on Monday Night Raw, and they are also incredibly authentic and over in NXT, so there is not much of anything left for them to accomplish on the black and gold brand. … Read more2/3 Undisputed NXT

Move to USA

August 24, 2019

Some gigantic news that just broke early this past week regarding NXT is that it will be moving from the WWE Network to the USA Network beginning on September 18. It will also expand to a two-hour show instead of just one. This will provide another wrestling option to watch on Wednesday nights, since AEW … Read moreMove to USA

Undisputed NXT

July 27, 2019

It would be awesome if Triple H works to explore making each member of The Undisputed Era champions because the group is gaining an awful lot of transaction and influence in NXT. They have been a group for nearly 2 years now, and even Roderick Strong has been a member of the group for quite … Read moreUndisputed NXT

Pace Will Pick Up

July 20, 2019

The pace at which NXT is moving will begin to speed up in the next six weeks or so as we approach Takeover: Brooklyn, which was established as NXT’s biggest Takeover event started in 2015. It coincides with WWE’s build to its second-biggest pay-per-view, SummerSlam. It is great to see WWE working towards building the … Read morePace Will Pick Up

Mia Yim Pushes Forward

July 6, 2019

Mia Yim is working her way toward the NXT Women’s Championship, and she deserves it as well. You gotta love it (credit to Booker T for that catchphrase). Kushida is also displaying just how technically sound and adaptable he is to any in-ring style. I also cannot wait to see what Killian Dain and the … Read moreMia Yim Pushes Forward

Roddy Turn

June 22, 2019

This has been subtly foreshadowed for weeks, but it was evidenced again that Roddy (Roderick Strong) will be the first member of The Undisputed Era to sever his ties to the group and end their dominance. This makes total sense as he was the last member to join the group. This imminent breakup was further … Read moreRoddy Turn

Ali’s Comments

June 15, 2019

Ali made some public comments last week pertaining to 205 Live and the general lack of respect it gets from WWE management, which is a damn shame because there are some incredibly talented performers. Ali referred to 205 Live as the “redheaded stepchild” of WWE, citing that the performers on the brand work incredibly hard … Read moreAli’s Comments

NXT Revitalization

May 25, 2019

Hopefully, the return of Tyler Breeze to NXT on a seemingly full-time basis will be the start of Triple H sending some people who have fizzled out on the main roster back to NXT. It could be a big help to a brand that is already doing very well. It’s also important for superstars to … Read moreNXT Revitalization

Percy Watson Acting

May 18, 2019

This was a light week for NXT, but a couple of notable things still happened. The Street Profits will get an NXT Tag Team Championship match after an amount of time that was more than sufficient. In all honesty, they probably have a very good chance to win to allow the Viking Raiders to devote … Read morePercy Watson Acting

Vince Ceding Control

May 11, 2019

It may not be a bad idea for Vince McMahon to give consideration to the idea of giving Triple H more control of the main roster in response to the recent drop, and I mean over the last couple of years rather than just a week or two. Look at what he has done with … Read moreVince Ceding Control
