Yes, from the last set of tapings.

I haven't seen a single spoiler posted. They very well could be out there online but I haven't seen any. Of course I also haven't looked for them.

Kudos to Riley too. Even though the match was essentially a squash, he still looked good in the little bit of offense he did get in, and he sold the beatdown really well.

Yeah Owens is. I loved after Balor made the save and Owens was running away, he still found time to give Riley one last boot on his way out.

What has made it even better is that Owens has continued to bury Riley and heel it up even more on twitter.

So Hideo won the NXT tournament to be placed in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale. Anyone think this means he'll be brought up to the main roster pretty soon? I wouldn't be surprised by it. I mean of all the guys they brought to NXT last year, he's the main one that doesn't really have a storyline going for him, aside from this thing with Breeze that looks like it's about to be settled with the 2 out of 3 falls match.

Also, this picture is **** awesome!

Yeah. he seems a little of out place in NXT at the moment. He's not doing anything wrong, he's just not connecting like the other top guys. Might not be a terrible idea to bring him up soon.

Agree completely about him not doing anything wrong. Think maybe he was just brought in at the wrong time. He doesn't really have a particular IT factor to him, while Balor, Owens have every single bit of IT there is to have. Hideo looks kinda pedestrian alongside them. WWE has to figure out something for him though. Way too damn good to just have him toiling around.

that's scary though because i don't see him connecting with the main stage crowd any easier. what happens then?

Then he’s stuck in the midcard forever, or done.

Over 5000 at NXT's event in San Jose today, and apparently is was hot as hell. And Vince was in attendance.

Oh, and...

I cancelled my network subscription the night after Fast Lane so I missed the last few weeks of NXT, I renewed yesterday and am caught up now. As far as a certain somebody making his main roster debut...

I expect Vince to give Itami some sort of Glacier/Michinoku hybrid gimmick.

I don't know the product too well but surely NXT could do well with a TV deal??

I mean I'm sure sci fi has some slots open :/

No more CJ Parker

The character was easy to hate, but I thought he played his role well during his time in NXT.

Watching tonight's episode and Tye Dillinger just committed one of my biggest pet peeves, not hooking the leg on a side leg sweep. It just looks so lazy, like they're just going through the motions, when a wrestler does that crap. Really irks me.

Also the music they gave Jason Jordan since the split with Dillinger is ridiculous.

Every time I see Alexa Bliss she's better than the time before.

haven't had a chance to catch up. Are they still not showing that Amatuer Wrestling stable yet?
