Well that was stupid..... I feel like Joe Gacy went from Woke Liberal to Serial Killer because someone in WWE Creative eventually realized that they gave him same last name as John Wayne Gacy.

it’s been his name for over a decade now. i was actually shocked he didn’t get a name change when he got called up since that is the natural correlation.

Everybody must have fun working for wwe. Lots of laughing

When you ain’t the least bit intimidating

The zoom out of the penthouse is much less intimidating

"Full control of the NXT Championship, the brand, *and the world?*?" ...it's just a belt, Joe

Controlling the world for… peace right? Liberal reasons?

No mute on the Network. Another great NXT 2.0 show.

Good show, damn good main event

Escobar vs D'Angelo should have ended with the Feds coming in and arresting them both on racketeering charges.

Called the Monty Python Holy Grail finish.

Both get done for tax evasion

This is the way

good ol power of the punch

That match ruled.

Regal's knuckle dusters.

Santos taking a page out of Eddie and Regal’s books

¡El poder del puñetazo!

They muting holy shit chants now? Why did USA become so strict suddeny

Wow, really? Gotta mute for "Holy Shit" chants? What kinda wrestling show you got if you can't even have the crowd say holy shit?

USA bleeping out the holy shit chants, oh my lorddddddddddddd

Stop censoring the crowd guys.

Crowd must be getting rowdy for them to block the sound.

Oh my god were they trying to censor the holy shit chants??

Santos is so damn smooth

When you are as good and wrestled as long as he has Thats what happens

Fucking censors.

Beautiful.

way to much cooperation

Legado minus Elektra are always crowd favorites because they've put in the time..paid their dues

i hope these live events are as fruitful to the roster as i think they could be

Lies. NXT Live is not coming anywhere near me :(

Id go see them but fla is 14 hrs away

Santos is the best dude left in NXT, right?

Definitely the entire package

I think NXT has a good crop of guys up top right now. Sakoa, Breaker, Santos, Carmelo, and Grimes are still all really good.to great.

I don't know if I just never noticed this before but I loooove that Santos extends his arms outward for that dive! Like an eagle soaring through the sky, awesome.

Thought I was going crazy for a second there, since Escobar pulled that exact same face and pose earlier. Wondered if something was wrong with my stream.

Arrow From The Depths of Hell!

Best dive in the business!

Grimes, Hayes, Escobar, Solo, etc prolly need to start moving up to the main title since nobody’s filled the holes left by Ciampa and others

I want Santos on main (terrified but he’s not that young and I want him to succeed)

Remember the same people who write main roster write nxt now. Plus Santos is mainly a 2.0 guy so they wouldn't change him up like they do with the 1.0 guys

True just meant in terms of push he’s a guy that needs to win a US title and get built up plus I worry about what they’d do with LDF

I somehow do not believe they wouldn't futz with the names in NXT because it's their product now.

A commercial during the last few minutes of the main event? Seriously??

It ends 8 minutes later every week

Im a broken record but..... These nxt house shows will really really help tony d Hes a pure pc trained guy and needs ring time

Imo they should have 1 or 2 nxt matches at normal house shows

Bronn should be doing them already

Lash Legend is and will always be trash Not even Natalya could help her

Youre wrong

Bro shes the worst womens wrestler Ive ever seen, live on tv and in person

Havent watched much wrestling then because roxannes perez's opponent looked far worse tonight We wont agree, and you will still say that when lash debuts on main roster in two years

Run in from Tony Mamaluke, Little Guido and Big Sal?

The Lord of Lucha Libre needs to be in the main card of NXT once this gang warfare is settled

Grinding the face against the ropes. Classic tactic, I think

What’s your name? Tony! Fuck you Tony!

Sanga is cool. Reminds me of a bond villains right hand man

Now add Teoman and his family in the mix from NXT UK. Gang Warz!

As long as I get more Dempsey on my screen

WAH GAMES!

All the more fitting since Dempsey's there

I see what you did there 😉

I wonder who will be the first group to interfere in Tony vs Santos?

Tony's

"run for years" umm?

Yo, I really dig Sanga being a calmed voice guy that dresses in suits outside the ring but dresses and acts like a mercenary inside it.

He had nice presence there

Anyone else feels the main event scene is terrible? Gacy isn’t NXT championship material, but there’s really no one else credible enough for it. Maybe Santos and that’s it.

I think who wins this feud goes on to take on Bron (and probably wins it). Edit: The feud being Santos vs Tony

the midcard is so deep and healthy rn that somehow the main has been neglected it’s kinda wild

It stinks lol The mid card is stacked while I guess guys like Tony and Santos would be in the main event but they’re actively in their own stuff

Legado needs to be on Smackdown already


Sanga... is surprising well composed and a good speaker. A bit of an accent but that adds to the charm really.

Why does NXT randomly do backstage bits in a kitchen? And what's a **kitchen** doing in the NXT Zone?

Because people feel safer there than the parking lot

Maybe I’m just high, but I think Sanga’s got something to him from that backstage segment

LEGADO! LEGADO! LEGADO!

I really like Sanga. Dude can talk and he has an amazing look

Wes Lee bitter heel run coming?

Get her, Indi Wrestling!

Sanga as a gentle giant I'd actually a cool idea. He has a good voice for that

Sanga fuckin rules

Sanga is winning me over.

Sanga has a lil accent but I don’t see why he just didn’t talk at first

Did y'all see Wagner throw Wes Lee to the table? It's so easy a caveman can do it

Nathan and Wes in a team is something that will absolutely work

Who’s the girl Sloane is talking to?

I’m so glad I don’t have to hear that echo Do I for much longer

Jordan Devlin is done in NXT UK.. I'm curious when he'll show up in 2.0 or perhaps main roster.. he'd make a great opponent for Ricochet on SD. Someone said they gonna change his name to Kipp Balor.. Finn's cousin from Ireland LMAO

More like Devlinswoggle.

I'm thinking main roster as he's been in developmental for years, he doesn't really need 2.0

A trademark for " Rip Fowler" was done today, I'm wondering if thats for Devlin?

Don’t be silly. He’s gonna be a member of Sheamus’s Group

Dublin Combat Club!

Judgement Day

One of the coolest things about Escobar is him wearing the lucha hood during his entrance. Presentation wise, he has it in spades. He carries himself like a total star at all times.

He went from getting squashed by Cruiserweights to killing them.. Long term storyplanning

NXT is the best wrestling show today. No dispute, it deserves higher ratings.

Did no one else see Sophia? Or just me?

She set up Frazier when he was walking to the ring earlier too

She was all the way at the top just above the crowd

Oh...right...Nope.

All I saw was Chase University

Right side

Madlads actually turning Wagner into a simp that yeets guys just for the approval of a random chic

Maybe Wagner can take the Jake Hager role in the judgement day because I can’t think of anything else for him, he doesn’t seem to be progressing but to be fair he doesn’t wrestle, just comes in every week dressed a little different with a new storyline that doesn’t go anywhere and has no reason or purpose

Frazer has been impressive the last few weeks

Oof, right on the table! Y'know, if he's gonna keep just throwing people out of the ring like that, I'll be invested in Von Wagner. I'll like you're guys if you let me. I mean, it's a shame that that was the end of Frazer/Lee, I could've seen more of that for an hour or so, but fine.

Von channeling 911 was NOT on my 2022 bingo card... He's slowly but surely showing me hes got a future.

Wagner's voice does not at all match his appearance. Never forget the cum Tuesday promo

Von Wagner’s music sounds like a bee going crazy

Didn’t want the match to end like that smh

Nathan Frazer is impressive

GOT DANG IT WHY DOES SOPHIA HATE CRUISERWEIGHTS

He’s not wearing a leather vest like Bron, he’s wearing like a shiny silk vest or some shit

Nice toss

I'm kinda loving Wagner in this role.

Yeah it got heat from me, seems the character is slowly working

He went from getting squashed by Cruiserweights to killing them.. Long term storyplanning

that was nasty

#OW! I can’t figure out if the table not breaking is a good or bad thing

Lmao fuck Von this was such a great match

Von killing all the cruiserweights smh

He went from getting squashed by Cruiserweights to killing them.. Long term storyplanning

Von “Go back to ROH” Wagner

Who the fuck is this

Lame ending but I liked what I was seeing.

Von Wagner? Isn't he supposed to be across the pond still? I mean, my explanation for Ivy's absence has been that.

For like a second I thought that was Brock 💀

I’m kinda getting nxt are having their own little osprey moment here, both guys being creative, matching eachother, reading minds, two steps ahead, clean and very fast, hard hitting match but not a total spot fest or dance, if Vince was sitting backstage he would feel the magic in the air too and…oh of course Von Wagner

STOP MURDER THROWING

Damn Beverly Brother Von Wagner ruined the match.

Ion like Von but that was an awesome spot

Where the hell did wagner come from?

Von Wagner is dressed like one of those stereotypical biker thugs from Walker Texas Ranger

That’s where the rangers gonna be

​ 

damn!

Yeah, just do these matches. Like, this match.

BOOOOOOO

Is the blonde Von’s girlfriend or his Conscience?

So did they replace my boy A-Kid with Frazer?

Holy shit, that kick!

damn that kick looked stiff

Superplex countered into a crossbody, Frazer had nowhere to go but down

As someone else with big hair, in case any of you were thinking that it offered a bit of protection from head bumps, like when giving a German suplex... it really doesn't.

That was a close one

yikes

Great match so far

Can’t remember seeing someone use the rope like that

If wwe cared about their midcard (Atleast NXT does) these 2 could have some bangers for the IC/Us title

EXACTLY!

Damn, rope to the face!

That is the first time in a long time I've seen one of those types of sequences that didn't look entirely choreographed and anticipated. Great job by both guys making it look like they were actually *reacting* to stuff and not pulling it from memory. Proof those sequences can look "real" when done right.

Being completely honest, I’ve always thought Wes Lee would’ve been the one to benefit from those obligatory tag team splits. He has a good look & can go in the ring — the rest of it will come together in due time.

They’re gonna make them a tag team aren’t they?

You don’t say

Frazer has a great entrance

This match would fit into BOSJ.

That graphic, that smoke, that rise, and of course that theme. They've nailed Frazer's entrance

Guy went for the fist bump and ruined his entrance by making him look like he left him hanging ha

I really hope Wes Lee is able to establish himself. He really could be a star.

I love the entrance.

Nathan Frazer is being presented like Ricochet, if WWE thought he was a star

Nathan Frazer’s music is an instant favorite. Give me 2000’s pop punk back!

Frazer in his generic phase (everyone has one) but I like him a lot and his presentation is fantastic

This is gonna fuck

Wes Lee giving me maven vibes, why don’t nxt have their own rumble one year?

205 Live resurrected 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 let's get it

Cora is deceptively tall

What NXT does far better than the main roster shows is the roster interacting with each other. People confront each other and have one off matches all the time.

It's what makes NXT the most fun weekly show imo

Health slater got rehired ?

Roxy and Cora onscreen at the same time are putting me into cuteness overload.

Cora being a little overbearing?

"She gets as excited loosing a match as she does winning one", why is that so accurate lol

BUUURRRRNNN

The mafia goons think they look like "Woke up this morning" but really they look like "Up in the Club"

Stacks and two dimes LMAO

Roxanne is really good

deuce and domino 2.0

Random but I was recently checking out some smackdowns from that time and I truly never realized how those guys never got reactions

It was a 1980’s level wwe cartoon character in the mid 2000’s imo

Team BBC one of my favorite acts I like combining the extroverted Edris with the more introverted Malik they bounce off one another well

Maybe TA would get respect if they weren't C words that think their badass with 3 on 1 beatdowns? Of course they're hated in the women's locker room yet no one gangs up on them to get the titles away from their horrid clutches

Team BBC are my top 3 favorite tag teams in NXT just off the random shit they always pop up doing lol

They have something

Team BBC!

Small critique is that I notice these two releasing pins before the other person actually kicks out. I might've already been able to notice them because I've noticed them on the main roster (*kick out* of the sunset flip, dammit!). I mean, it is developmental, this is the kinda thing they'll get better at. And the match was pretty good aside from that.

Some of them need those live events badly happy those are back. That way some of these greener talent can debut when they’re truly ready

Oh fuck Nathan looked in Sofia’s general direction. Von Wagner is rapidly approaching his location as we speak.

Called it!
