I don’t think I’ll ever get used to Lacey Evans. I feel that she would have fit into the Kelly/Maria, etc. era as a Heel but not someone who will be taken seriously as a wrestler.
I still don’t like that Dunne is a face. It’s just weird. And I’d prefer to see Mustache Mountain helping him out in this feud.

If I’m being honest here Ricochet is the latest addition to the “Instantly appears to be more of a star in the WWE” club. Dudes legit been oozing whatever the “it” is since the first second he appeared on TV. This whole Ricochet/Dream feud has potential to be something we’re talking about for years if the little teases we’ve gotten so far are any indication.

Why is Kairi Sane a pirate?

I guess everyone is supposed to forget that Candice is a wrestler and would have already been jumping back into the ring during a match after that bump??

Why is Kairi Sane a pirate? She was involved with yachting in Japan

I'll keep this all positive because some people get hurt feelings on this thread Dream & Lars are future stars! I like Ricochet a lot but I don't think he'll get the Daniel Bryan/AJ indy-guy treatment, WWE will treat him more like Zayne/Owens if he moves up to the main roster. I'm so happy Lacey Evans went over Kairi. She has potential and there's only two heels in the division really - Bianca and Shayna and the later is the champ. Ok I'm going to hurt some feelings...I don't like Dakota Kai.

Watching Candice ing LeRae sell the equivalent of getting shoulder checked by a teenager in a crowded mall entrance like it was a blow from an M1 Abrams is pretty hard to swallow. She's been wrestling longer than either Johnny or Tommaso have yet she's reduced to cannon fodder for their feud. Don't get me wrong she's been stellar in her role and has done nothing but contribute but seeing her reduced to taking a light bump from her husband like it was a death sentence is pretty cringe-worthy. Even more so when you factor in WWE actually acknowledged her inter-gender match history during the Mae Young Classic and claims she's gone "toe-to-toe with Kevin Owens".

It’s still slightly weird to me seeing her NOT full on attack Ciampa whenever she’s face to facs with him. When she’s just the sad, worried wife of Gargano, trying to hold him back from fighting Ciampa, it’s just odd. I get it from WWE’s character of her but I’m still not completely used to this version of LeRae.

I have freaking loved Aleister Black since he came to NXT, but he has been such an underwhelming NXT Champion, maybe the most ever? Feels like we have hardly seen the dude since he won it and the little bit of mic time that they have given him has really not done him any favors.
This Gargano vs Ciampa is one of the best things that the WWE.... not just NXT, have done in years. This is how you do a feud that gets people emotionally invested, even with that ridiculous bump Candice LeRae took the other night.
The last year or so NXT has been my main fix for wrestling. Not because it is "cool" but mainly because it is only one hour a week, three hours every few months and that is it. Yet I still feel like I know all the cast, am involved with the storylines. Kind of like how I was when I watched wrestling as a kid back in 89.

They definitely do a good job in getting us invested in storylines and they do just enough in 1 hour to develop the characters so they are familiar.

I get it from WWE’s character of her but I’m still not completely used to this version of LeRae. I'm not opposed to Candice taking a bump to draw heat on the feud, but what she had to work with given her past is borderline disrespectful to her as a veteran female competitor. Instead of making her the nervous, terrified wife trying to keep her husband out of a big bad scary fight she should have been allowed to be the scrappy, gutsy woman she's always been. Play up an injury to Johnny, shoulder/neck/head/etc. something upper body preferably from Ciampa's last attack and run the same exact spot with Ciampa goading Johnny into a potential fight except have a panicked Candice trying to keep Johnny away until he's 100% again. Same setup with Tommaso emasculating Johnny by telling him to "listen to his wife", Johnny runs to the ring but Candice chases him to the apron and jumps up next to him, Tomasso loads up a huge knee coming off the ropes and at the last second Candice shoves Johnny out of the way to avoid further injury and eats a brutal knee to the face from Ciampa. Cue the commentators taking headsets off and running over, Tommaso freaking out in the ring, Johnny going apesh*t at ringside screaming and crying for help, Regal runs down with trainers, the cameras pull away and cut to black without a logo prompt or anything.

Isn't she the same girl that with Joey Ryan bled buckets in a hardcore match against a male tag team?

Shayna is a great champion but I love Nikki-really hope that happens for real at I guess Takeover.

Ricochet vs Dream can easily be considered for match of the year - so looking forward to next Saturday!
I get why Kairi goes over Lacey, because after Nikki Cross loses to Shayna, she'll need another babyface contender, but man did they blow Lacey's momentum. Like why should I be interested in her now when she loses 99% of the time against named opponents. I thought for a moment, they were evolving her gimmick and getting behind the performer.
