⭐️Kayhan: I wish i could say i liked this more than i did. I will say i think gigi looked a lot crisper than tatum. maybe she hasn’t been in the ring enough lately? something about the crowd being dead too. probably tired from 3 straight days of partying…

⭐️Kayhan:
(B) all the Lexis King stuff was hilarious for me… i like how they did the whole thing.
(C) noam dar’s return is a nice pop for NXT fans who actually enjoyed the Heritage Cup. now we can go back to the old rules… ‘cause Lexis King changing the heritage cup rules was real heel heat amongst true NXT marks, imo….

⭐️Kayhan: (A) I really them using GCW for an angle here on NXT. WWE have really stolen AEW’s thunder with the forbidden door. I like the bit of drama added to NQCC, because they been so bland… as for the match, No Quarter Catch Crew shows up to watch Miles Borne’s back and do nothing… they just lost clean. 🤷♂️
(B) as for Dark State, it was a decent holdover episode to keep them prominent figures on the show…

⭐️Kayhan:
(A) They brought Jaida Parker only to shit on thea hail today. lol... although pretty harsh, i will say it makes sense considering the, let’s just say LOUD persona they’ve given her. I personally like it. i think she’s entertaining as hell. but if the mean girls in the locker room don’t like it. it made for a nice little storyline on this day. idk if anything will happen w/ jaida or kelani. kelani seemed to not care that much…
(B) as for Fatal Influence, these girls have been taking a beating since they lost the North American title, even losing on NXT…. the group doesn’t work for me. these girls ain’t fatal influence. they don’t look the part. i personally would break them up and give them all totally new singles personas…

⭐️Kayhan: whaaaaa 🤯… ok. i used to hate chase u. but when they broke up i kinda missed it. i was really kinda hoping he would just carry on the same persona with some stablemates without the “Chase U” name. but ok. i guess i’ll roll with it… i do have to point out the obvious tho and mention that Andre Chase lost a stipulation match and shouldn’t be allowed to reopen Chase U, unless Ridge Holland is gone and that stipulation no longer matters? 🤷♂️ idk. i guess we’ll see… nonetheless, this was a trip…
