⭐️Kayhan: The way they cut away from Lola dancing to the chaos in the back. lol… But the exchange between Lola and Arianna entertaining. Very interesting seeing Santino having so many scenes with his daughter. That’s been going well…. And also, since i’ve started reviewing NXT & TNA back in October 2024, never seen Arianna Grace wrestle. Very interesting. She’s not bad. Would like to see her out there more, maybe as a heel. I could see it!

⭐️Kayhan: I thought this was solid but I was hoping to like this more. I didn’t like the pace. I thought it was important to show Moose’ athleticism to the WWE Universe, but it was instead a slow plodding match. Not a great representation of the X-Division, if you ask me… But that being said! They still have a TNA guy a win over a WWE champion on WWE TV. I think something has to be said for that. They did give TNA something here.

⭐️Kayhan: Obviously this had to be coming. I’m happy with the booking. Oba’s promo was nicely paced. I like how he is weary to speak quickly so the crowd don’t get on his case… I do worry for the end result. I don’t want Moose to take a clean hit. But maybe he’ll take a big check to do it. It would be nicer if they can come up with an out, and more interesting too.

⭐️Kayhan: Jordynne sucker punched Roxanne! Wtf?… Also, interesting that Roxanne wants to pull double duties and still work NXT. I thought she was going up full time.
⭐️Robert:
(9) Trick and Je’Von Almost Come To Blows as Trick Is ALL Wound Up Lately
Participants:
Details:
-Backstage JeVon tries to be cool with Trick but Trick has an attitude and puts JeVon down. Looks like they’re about to get down when Ricky Saints came out to naively introduce himsef to Trick. Trick unenthusiastically bumps fists and walks off. Saints is miffed to continue seeing such anger backstage at NXT.

Robert TheFrozenAsian - 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️Kayhan: The tension between JeVon & Trick was palpable. I really like this idea…. Ricky Saints’ little comedic side in NXT has been refreshing, but a little ridiculous considering the place he came from was even crazier.

⭐️Kayhan: Nice moments from Hardyz, to Santino getting emotional. It’s gonna be a nice match. I wonder how they get out of it tho. Unless WWE takes these tag titles for a while.
