People keep saying Bron and Melo are main roster ready but NXT has a lot of people that are talented and ready. Pretty Deadly could work rn on Smackdown or RAW
A lot of people think we're looking at a double turn. Melo is a heel (though he gets cheers and doesn't do much that's super bad, like he doesn't usually beat people down or anything or at least not recently) and Bron is a face. But seems like that may change.
I can see Bron vs Gable on main roster, but who the hell can he really feud with? Unless Melo really ends up in the Hurt Bidness, and that gets him to Bobbeh
The hand on the fist bump was unnecessarily funny. Reminds me of I believe a Psych episode where Shawn goes to fist bump... I wanna say it's the lawyer in the weather man episode and the dude just shakes his fist.
I don’t know know what it is about Breakker, but he really just doesn’t have that look that screams “star” the way Melo does, he just looks like a stereotypical body builder
I think he’s still finding his way. Melo has had to reinvent himself many times in his career, Bron basically started in WWE. He’s talented but still raw in a lot of ways in terms of character.
I love Melo, but I still feel like the flexing so hard he shakes his arm thing looks like a child not really understanding flexing and trying too hard haha
So like just curious, I did not watch original black and yellow NXT. I got into NXT2.0 right before it turned into what it is now. Has it always been this solid?
Pretty much, although there were some differences in priorities. Black and Gold focused heavily on match quality and catered more to a similar audience that AEW has, while current NXT is more character oriented. Not that Black and Gold didn’t have characters, they did but there wasn’t a focus on having and developing characters as now.
The Chase U v Schism match has to be one of the weirdest combinations of people in the best possible way. If someone told you the former GYV, Tyler Bate, Joe Gacy, Duke Hudson, Andre Chase, the Rock's daughter who hasn't even wrestled a match yet for people, and someone who graduated high school last year would be having a match over ownership of a school last year, I think you'd be highly confused
I'm excited for (pretty Deadly voice) Stand and Deliver. I think the NA championship will steal the whole show. Nxt is far and away, the most fun wrestling program
I think one of the best parts about it is that they don’t take everything 100% serious. Really just wrestling and having some fun. More pressure on main roster.
It's really funny to me how often NXT under HBK seems to, in an endearing and fun way, go after just about every trope in 90s sitcoms and coming of age shows.
"let's save the school/local business"
"My best friend is being cheated on by a girl who isn't what she claims to be, I'm going to expose this/misunderstand things and make them worse"
I swear he must have wanted to get a cameo on Full House or Dawson's Creek
If they really want the huge baby face pop in that Schism/Chase U match all they have to do is have Thea get the pin on Ava. Happy Scrappy Doo doing laps is best for business.
Yes on one hand I wish Tyler Bate was being an intense serous wrestler but I think his willingness to lean into the character-based stuff can help him on the main roster in the future
He's going to have to lean into character stuff to get shine on main roster. He's an astounding wrestler but he's short. Not like, "too short for Vince but anyone else would be fine with it," short at 5'11" or something.
Schism, at no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul
I’m excited for pretty much the entire S&D card. Mania, only Dom/Rey, IC Triple Threat and Roman Cody have my interest (I think LA Knight is just gonna crash the show and get his ass whooped).
Interestingly I’m probably more looking forward to the Raw after than actual Mania because I am hoping for NXT favorites to get call ups and hopefully Jay White
He’s a reformed high stakes gambler hear him out. Cameron Grimes had to throw down some stacks just to play him one time. Pretty sure Grimes won but like whatever
Alright, I have a proposal, and I think y'all will agree with me. Take the extra hour of Raw, move it to NXT. I need more of this shit. Time flew by and I'm ready for another hour of it haha.
Bron's feuds are boring in that sense. He started out better as a lone wolf, foul mouthed heel but then went down the boring respectful, fighting face champion.
Chase U needs to hold a recruitment drive. Duke seems like he's going through burnout and Thea can't carry the weight of the university on her back while going through therapy too
Hell yeah Tyler. Also, I wish I could pull off Tyler's drip. I'd just look homeless. Also do we think Duke will get reinvigorated and recommit? Or is he dropping and he's turning to Schism against the school?
Very good show!
Ahh I'm a bit sad as a Ivy Nile fan but good NXT regardless.
NXTs two hours have been flying by these last few weeks. I want some more wrestling
Well it was a much-needed fun night with you guys. Meds are taken and this old lady is off to bed. Thanks for hanging out with me
Pretty deadly done in nxt
I hope Melo wins
I guess they can coexist
Great match. Great show. NXT NXT NXT.
Why is Bron trying to kill Kit tonight? I know he’s jealous of his hair but come on man.
I love how Trick is taking notes on the outside while Bron is in the match lol
NXT does little things well.
My man got t bagged
Face-first landing on that release German. Almost straight outta the old Smackdown games, jeez.
Bron runs those ropes so fast
Bron's got that impressive combination of power and speed
The more crazy spots I can imagine Sol doing in a ladder match the more I root for her next week.
He hits those ropes so hard. What an athlete
People keep saying Bron and Melo are main roster ready but NXT has a lot of people that are talented and ready. Pretty Deadly could work rn on Smackdown or RAW
i saw an idea that bron loses, cena wins, opens an open challenge then bron comes out. that’s a lot of if’s though
Pretty Deadly been ready and I suspect they already on the call up line with Indi and potentially Roxanne
Do we REally? Never change book lol
I’m new here, is Carmelo a face or heel
A lot of people think we're looking at a double turn. Melo is a heel (though he gets cheers and doesn't do much that's super bad, like he doesn't usually beat people down or anything or at least not recently) and Bron is a face. But seems like that may change.
Tweener right now. Probably going to end up face.
Technically a heel but the crowd loves him
Currently he’s leaning face but for a long time he’s been a heel
Tweener right now. He acts like a heel most of the time, but he's so over it doesn't matter.
Melo getting worked like he robbed the casino
I would watch the shit out of a Pretty Deadly reality show. Make it so.
Trick should write notes on Melo for Bron.
Is Sol going to win and revolutionize the ladder match, or is Indi finally going to win a match? Or is Ivy... haha, never mind, Ivy's not winning.
Oh yes they’re giving Sol another shot to potentially do some psycho shit in a ladder match.
Sol getting into that ladder match next week!
All 4 of these guys are super talented. This is working way better than I thought it would
I’m reading for Carmelo’s reign man. Hopefully that comes at the end of Stand & Deliver
I'm gonna be sad to see Bron drop the title.
Me too but I think it's time and Melo is the right guy
I do not disagree. There's little left for Bron in nxt, if anything. And melo is the right guy. Bro is a star
That suplex 😮
Jesus, spiked him
The springboard was so insane 😂
Holy shit that launch
I can see Bron vs Gable on main roster, but who the hell can he really feud with? Unless Melo really ends up in the Hurt Bidness, and that gets him to Bobbeh
My main concern for Bron going up to the main roster is that he won’t look as powerful going up against the bigger guys on the roster.
But he'll be notably faster. And still strong enough.
Yooo Melo and Trick are on The Bump tomorrow. Dope
Sorry, Vic. I’m always missing multiple seconds of the action. No PIP.🥲
Trick on the side taking notes of Bron lol
NXT has been my favorite wrestling show for weeks now and tonights no different, they've been killing it.
The hand on the fist bump was unnecessarily funny. Reminds me of I believe a Psych episode where Shawn goes to fist bump... I wanna say it's the lawyer in the weather man episode and the dude just shakes his fist.
Hitting the “I’m a literal dog” spot is cornball shit
Bron went to “how to make a singlet look even goofier” school
Booker is all over. He advocates for cheating but then says he likes that brin is a stand up guy
Bron with the fist grab 😂😂🤣
Never watched an episode of nxt before today, but I’m liking this Carmelo dude
He's genuinely super talented.
Bron and Carmelo recreating the Wolverine and Colossus Spot.... Throw a muthafugga at another muthafugga
Fastball Special
🖐✊🏼
There's that Team 2.0 cohesion there!
Yeet!!
That toss from Bron was awesome.
That was the COOLEST DAMN THING.
Gotta be honest, I'm rooting for Pretty Deadly. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment
Hmmm, would be a great win before they host. They’d be insufferable on the mic 🤣
So insufferable and I'd love it
Rock, paper, scissor fools
He went across the ring! Wooah!
That was sick, NGL
The knee pads ruin breakkers look the singlet looks like manufactured wacky, not authentic “Zubaz” wacky
This has been a fun episode of nxt tonight
HE GOT THAT DOG IN EM!!!
I don’t know know what it is about Breakker, but he really just doesn’t have that look that screams “star” the way Melo does, he just looks like a stereotypical body builder
I think he’s still finding his way. Melo has had to reinvent himself many times in his career, Bron basically started in WWE. He’s talented but still raw in a lot of ways in terms of character.
Bron is basically the best parts of Rick Steiner and young Scott Steiner. He's not going for the over the top-ness of Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner.
Scott was the one who actually became a solo star, though. And obviously not until he went nuts.
I love Melo, but I still feel like the flexing so hard he shakes his arm thing looks like a child not really understanding flexing and trying too hard haha
I’ll always get hype seeing Bron come out and barking
Got dog me
Back in the trunks!
So like just curious, I did not watch original black and yellow NXT. I got into NXT2.0 right before it turned into what it is now. Has it always been this solid?
Pretty much, although there were some differences in priorities. Black and Gold focused heavily on match quality and catered more to a similar audience that AEW has, while current NXT is more character oriented. Not that Black and Gold didn’t have characters, they did but there wasn’t a focus on having and developing characters as now.
It was arguably even better
It used to be way better, arguably one of the best wrestling shows ever from late 2014-2019, I’d recommend
It’s been hit or miss, but primarily hit.
The Chase U v Schism match has to be one of the weirdest combinations of people in the best possible way. If someone told you the former GYV, Tyler Bate, Joe Gacy, Duke Hudson, Andre Chase, the Rock's daughter who hasn't even wrestled a match yet for people, and someone who graduated high school last year would be having a match over ownership of a school last year, I think you'd be highly confused
what's Andre Chase gonna do without that gimmick?
Move up to the real world and get sucky jobs and remember the old days
I'm excited for (pretty Deadly voice) Stand and Deliver. I think the NA championship will steal the whole show. Nxt is far and away, the most fun wrestling program
I think one of the best parts about it is that they don’t take everything 100% serious. Really just wrestling and having some fun. More pressure on main roster.
My body is ready. Yes Boy.
As usual, NXT is going to challenge the main roster to up their game on Mania weekend.
Chase and Tyler Bate in that match should be real good
It's really funny to me how often NXT under HBK seems to, in an endearing and fun way, go after just about every trope in 90s sitcoms and coming of age shows. "let's save the school/local business" "My best friend is being cheated on by a girl who isn't what she claims to be, I'm going to expose this/misunderstand things and make them worse" I swear he must have wanted to get a cameo on Full House or Dawson's Creek
Under Shawn The Way would’ve 100% had vignettes based on Full House
NGL THIS CARD IS GOATED
I'm rooting for sexy witch patrol. I could be under a spell.
Sexy Witch Patrol? Someone's got to get their opinions on that as an official team name lol.
Idk it's the first thing that popped in my head. Im open to better options 🤣
Ava Raine's first televised match is gonna be an 8 person mixed tag on Wrestlemania weekend? Well, now.
HBK wastes no time making matches official
Cool theme for stand and deliver
WrestleManyah weekend is going to be out of control. I might need catering.
If chase u loses at stand and deliver I’m going to fucking cry
If they really want the huge baby face pop in that Schism/Chase U match all they have to do is have Thea get the pin on Ava. Happy Scrappy Doo doing laps is best for business.
Please let Roxanne have that 5th spot
Man wrestlemania and stand and Deliver is going to be so fucking cool.
Stacks looks a little like Patrick Mahomes
Most interesting way I’ve ever seen a match set up, a bunch of drunk dudes just agree to fight at the PPV
Boys being boys
Can I have a sitcom about these 6 just fucking around?
🤌
That was my favourite pub skit.
get hammered together then fight next week
Bro that theme goes crazy!
They had a wild night
Damn, Wolfie's fucking *out*
I love this bar promo for the tag match.
"Don't you guys know a cleaning service?" Other clean
“We are a cleaning service”
Why's his shirt off?
Things got out of hand 🤣
Julius looked like a Chippendale dance with the hat on
Apparently so 😂
They know how to party
A long day of pool
"Me and Stacks got a thing."
It’s getting messy at the pub.
Just so you know Nikkita Lyons has a shirt on WWEShop but Pretty Deadly and Tiffany Stratton do not.
THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR ME!
No Boy!
Mop it like it's hot? I think they are doing it wrong. Or I am lol
Yes on one hand I wish Tyler Bate was being an intense serous wrestler but I think his willingness to lean into the character-based stuff can help him on the main roster in the future
He's going to have to lean into character stuff to get shine on main roster. He's an astounding wrestler but he's short. Not like, "too short for Vince but anyone else would be fine with it," short at 5'11" or something.
Schism, at no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul
So like I’m a little bit more excited for S&D than Wrestlemania? Am I crazy or is just the building of the matches?
I’m excited for pretty much the entire S&D card. Mania, only Dom/Rey, IC Triple Threat and Roman Cody have my interest (I think LA Knight is just gonna crash the show and get his ass whooped). Interestingly I’m probably more looking forward to the Raw after than actual Mania because I am hoping for NXT favorites to get call ups and hopefully Jay White
Btw this is not me saying I’m not excited for WM
Because as silly as some of the rivalries on NXT are, Shawn at least puts a lot of time in to build them.
I’m excited for both 👍
They have done an amazing job at making every single match feel important so you're not wrong. I'm excited too
He’s a reformed high stakes gambler hear him out. Cameron Grimes had to throw down some stacks just to play him one time. Pretty sure Grimes won but like whatever
Alright, I have a proposal, and I think y'all will agree with me. Take the extra hour of Raw, move it to NXT. I need more of this shit. Time flew by and I'm ready for another hour of it haha.
Duke or Bate are gonna “accidentally” cost them the school and Schism U doesn’t have a good ring to it at all.
I'm not a fan of the Bron/Melo feud, it's been Raw levels of "I respect you, lets team up to face bad guys...oh yeah we have a title match"
Bron's feuds are boring in that sense. He started out better as a lone wolf, foul mouthed heel but then went down the boring respectful, fighting face champion.
He didn't start out that way
4 roots 1 tree 2 fingers?
And with the people in the background like 30 seeds
And 3 matches with Chase U
Schism U ✌️🙌
Duke you bastard
I freaking love the 80s trope of "win to save the rec center/school etc" Now...... they're gonna need a montage
Oh no...CHASE U is gonna fall apart isn't it?
Place your bets. Who turns and joins Schism? Bate or Duke?
Nooo! Don't end Chase U. They have to win now I don't want Gacy in charge of Chase U
DUN DUN DUUUUN
Duke just jumped in the ocean with no lifeguard on duty. *Dude*.
The S&D card is getting longer than I expected.
They'll get their fucking win and they'll be great again
Chase U needs to hold a recruitment drive. Duke seems like he's going through burnout and Thea can't carry the weight of the university on her back while going through therapy too
MOVE OVER BLOODLINE! THIS IS THE STORY OF THE DECADE!
You didn’t beat Thea bitches
…Duke.
Oh no Duke
[удалено]
most emotional storyline is the brooks and kiana love story
“Wrestling has more than one royal story”
i think the duke hudson heel turn is a swerve
Is Schism what Dark Order was supposed to be or is Dark Order what Schism is supposed to be? 🤔
Well, Schism is actually kind of creepy. I don't know about Dark Order.
Canadian Schism. More goofy than creepy.
Oh damn, son!
Duke, are you sure you have the authority to do that?
Dang please don’t tell me Duke is going to be a turn cloak 😔
Bad feeling they gonna have Luke turn on Chase U
"We'll put up the school." Duke, what the fuck did you just say?
Feels like a 80’s college movie
and i love that
Big Strong Boy on Campus
I SUPPORT THIS MATCH
Duke...wtf
Andre Chase would have just cussed Gacy out for 5 minutes. Thanks for stepping up, Tyler.
You 4 lowlives vs us 4 lowlives 😂
CHASE WHO? CHASE U!!!
CHASE U 🙌
DUKE!
DUKE, FUCKING WHAT!?
Tyler Bate feeling 🙌cey
Hey! That's Rickssen Opont is in the Chase U class!
Nah Schism swept #4Roots1Tree
Tyler definitely the LSD guy at Chase U
Hell yeah Tyler. Also, I wish I could pull off Tyler's drip. I'd just look homeless. Also do we think Duke will get reinvigorated and recommit? Or is he dropping and he's turning to Schism against the school?
What are they doing with Tyler Bate Smh
Giving him a character
Giving him a PhD
