⭐️Kayhan: “Never heard of this guy but he was kinda fun. It would probably a trip if you’re a huge nascar fan and saw this guy up there dancing with Hank & Tank… I will say he did a great job with his interference spot. Timed it perfectly. It looked good. Successful celebrity appearance.”

⭐️Kayhan: “The worst program in NXT (maybe in wrestling) according to me. Ashonte delivering his lines like he’s some kinda ladies man is so cringe and unbelievable. This is one of the worst romances in wrestling history. But it seems like they’re gonna end up together. Oh joy.🙄"

⭐️Kayhan: “All right well it’s getting closer to a point where they need to make a decision on Nathan Frazier. He’s so great in the ring but these acting segments are awful. If they’re going to bring him up they gotta make sure to limit his speaking unless he somehow improves and can act more naturally."

⭐️Kayhan: “This is the second time in a few weeks that they debuted a new female wrestler right at the end of NXT. GREAT looking entrance. But I feel like there’s a more impactful way/place to debut a new star other than just showing up at the last second before the show goes off the air… But Booker T going ‘Oh Mah Gowd!’ as the show went off the aire was pretty hilarious.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I have actually liked the premise behind this feud. I worry about an ambulance match because it takes away from the actual feeling of heat and hatred. Kinda gimmicky. I guess my critique is for the premise of an ambulance match, in general. I don’t think it’s a good idea to win a match just by putting someone in a car and closing the door. But I’ll watch the match."

⭐️Kayhan: “I didn’t think this was that bad. The manner in which the lines were delivered were good and believeable. My issue is with the content of what Ethan Page was talking about. Sounded a bit cry baby-ish. This was also pretty long. So idk. I wonder how they plan to use Ethan Page in the near future. Is he gonna stick around NXT? Because he seems pretty ready to be on a main roster.”
