...first NXT for the New Year...let's see how it went, eh?
- Great to see Regal, and
El Generico Sami Zayn.
- And Samoa Joe. He continues to impress as a heel.
- Erm...and Captain Nostrils, who is slowly getting there.
- Good to see them acknowledge stuff that actually happened in the past, instead of glossing over it.
- Ah, Bayley. The ray of sunshine that cannot be put out.
- Year-End Awards...nothing you couldn't see coming, but well done to the winners.
- Ciampa's back? Burch too? Solid match, for what it was...though if you're going to put over Burch's right hand, Ciampa should've sold his face.
- Enzo and Cass. How you doin'? Nice promo.
- I'm just stoked there are three talented Aussie girls in NXT.
- Of course! Three people have grievances, so what do you do? Book 'em in a Triple Threat. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff, but simple and effective.
- The Ascension are mega over in NXT, and yet Superstars fodder on the main roster...here, announced out of nowhere, they face the NXT champs Dash and Dawson - but why? Just cos they're former champs going up against the new champs? Regardless, it was interesting to me that Konnor did the job here.
- Great, Nia Jax on the graphic for the battle royal, she's wearing her ring gear but yet isn't medically cleared...? Righto...
- More simple and effective promos from the girls regarding the battle royal; though none really shone.
- Oh yeah, the t**t with the guitar. I got nothin'; because this guy HAS nothing. He's...that's just it, I have no words to accurately define, discern or describe how insignificant/significant this guy is.
- Oh, it's okay, they removed Nia Jax's image from the matchup screen. Crisis averted.
- I SWEAR TO GOD I THOUGHT CAMERON SAID 'F**kadactyl'!!!
- Ah, this is that 'Nooph' from Breaking Ground. I really thought she wouldn't make it - and if that promo was anything to go by, I stand by it.
- Liv Morgan. Cute girl, but I have no idea what she said at the end.
- Ah, Asuka. All she has to do is smile, and I'm grinning like a fool.
- How cool was that, her snubbing Eva Marie...and she got her good!
- Liv Morgan did a
ing powerbomb? Which Cameron astonishingly didn't sell....leading to a repeat spot...and the 'one-person-eliminating-two-people' spot. Huh.
- Three Aussie girls and Asuka...brilliant.
- Oh good, Eva needed more heat by eliminating the favourite.
- Way to go Carmella, but one of those subdued wins, eh.
- Yay, Baymella. And who smiles at the end? Asuka.
Not too shabby for the first episode back.
