Why the hell are they putting Alestair Black in this, bugger him off from this match, i'm sorry i want him nowhere near this match, make it purely Ciampa and Gargano and have it be a three stages of hell for the title. This takes the heat right out of the feud with the third party. The best feud anywhere in WWE by far.

Also they've really made LaRae look pretty weak, i mean i thought she'd be one of the top woman, just cause she used to hang with men but anyway. Then again i doubt they'd ever have done Ciampa vs LaRae but that would have been a fun side feud.

For what it's worth, the triple threat match featured a dueling chant throughout: Let's Go Kairi /Nikki Cross. It's clear who the NXT crowd is more invested in, which makes sense given their roles over the past year.

I don't think Candice looks weak at all. Zelina ran scared whenever she made an appearance in the Almas Gargano feud. And she made it to this triple threat match by beating Lacey Evans, who they have otherwise depicted as quite the bad-ass.

Candice LaRae came into WWE as probably the biggest badass in womans wrestling (hell, wrestling in general)

She'll be fine. There are a handful of very talented women in NXT right now and she's just not first in line at the moment. Her time will come. She's probably got a damn good shot of being the one to eventually take down Baszler.

Great

would be nice if they booked her as such though. If they're going to bring in these big names it would be nice if they actually didn't book them like crap.

It's being rumored that Matt Riddle has signed with WWE, hasn't been confirmed by Meltzer or anyone like that, but still all over the internet.

He's going to be a perfect fit in WWE, dude has star written all over him.

Hot crowd for NXT last night... Orlando isn't really known historically for having hot crowds
but it's a whole different vibe for NXT.

Black vs. Ciampa match of the year candidate?

Post #1694 » by **Stanford** » Thu Jul 26, 2018 5:23 pm

Ciampa is the king of screwy finishes. He can make anything work.

He's also the best wrestler on the planet at the moment. Yeah, that's right.

iMoreland · Post #1695 » by **iMoreland** » Thu Jul 26, 2018 5:32 pm

Didn't really like the part of the match where Gargano was trying to hit Ciampa with the title, but accidentally hit Aleister. It wasn't a botch, but it wasn't clean either. Looked bad.

Lol, wrestling is weird. A whole crowd going crazy for a guy sitting down.

I've watched this four times and still have so many questions.

Who is this guy?

Brennan Williams, former NFL player, went my Marcellus Black on the indies.

I think he's got big time potential.

Damn, he signed two years ago. Sometimes I forget how many wrestlers there are at the PC, and how long some of them have been there.

Lot of these guys sign with little to no indie experience, so I'd imagine it takes them a lot longer to work their way toward TV time than it does guys like Ricochet or Adam Cole who come in ready to have big roles on the weekly show.
