⭐️Kayhan: “This heated up for me at the end. I wasn’t really digging the whole idea of Ray not wanting to take someone’s spot on the card. These guys are beefing! You have to fight! But when Ridge got into Ray’s head for only being a podcaster now, it started to get real. So Ray pulled a 180 witching two hours and took someone’s spot on the card. So I had issues with this. It was a LARGE chunk of the show. But I’m the end I found something redeeming about the whole thing… Also I found it interesting that Ridge called him “Bully” Ray. Now that WWE and TNA are partners I guess that’s fair game.

⭐️Kayhan: “Everyone saw this coming a mile away but I still liked how they did it. First of all, Kelani v Nikkita is a very solid booking. Nikita’s face when it all came crashing down on her was pretty funny.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I thought WWE would give Shawn Spears a more coherant push but he’s been used worse/less than in AEW. As for this scene. Another really short angle crowbarred into the show. I don’t think the one minute angles do much to move the stories along. Instead they’re just too short to remember it even register. Plus they’ve done almost nothing to make anyone care about Spears or Jensesn.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I’m a little turned off by how easily these heels keep getting their asses kicked. But I liked the way they brought the baby faces out to even the odds. Jordynne Grace was a nice surprise. But I felt like they turned Zaria from a crazed monster to someone who makes good with all the faces way too fast. Maybe they coulda strung it along a little. Make her a little apprehensive to team with anyone until she absolutely had to. But I guess she’s gonna one of the girls. Which was apparent also by Rhea Ripley showing up to just support her compatriot. That was nice but I felt a little unnecessary, but as we saw later, she was there for another reason.”

⭐️Kayhan: “Ok. I’ve been watching this show pretty closely for a few weeks but they haven’t even shown these two once since I’ve started reviewing NXT. They seemed to assume we all should know them, and that it’s some kinda deal that they’re gonna be on the show next week. I think that’s poorly done, seeing as I’ve no idea who these people are.”

⭐️Kayhan: “It’s nice to see main roster people, especially of this level, on NXT. But why in the hell would Liv know that Rhea was gonna make an impromptu appearance on NXT? So I’m taking points off for that plot hole. But I’m giving credit for the surprise, the pop Liv got, and the blood and gore!”
