We discussed storylines from this edition on NXT on Episode #140 of the Malapert Smark Podcast with Vlad “Wrestling Expert” and Robert “The Frozen Asian!”
LINK:
*Note: Once again, my feed cut off last week before the last segment so I never knew about the Eddie Thorpe swerve! I have updated last week's blog post to include the conclusion of the day's storyline... See Storyline #10 :
But yeah. Eddie Thorpe staged his own attack and weaseled his way into an NXT Title match without even competing in Iron Survivor!.. Good one... Woulda been nicer if they got this segment into the show... but ok... let's see what happens...

⭐️Kayhan: “Great booking. This reminds me of a hot Toni Khan type of wonen’s matchup. Except this had a bit of a storyline leading up to it and a side story on the outside. The fight on the outside didn’t take away from the intensity of the matchup. Both girls did great. Sinclair’s intensity was great. And Jaida was great.”
