They got up from that table spot way too soon. Good finish, forgettable overall match.

Beetlejuice is dope, would love a figure of one of her Halloween costumes even if it's a basic

Julius Creed is gonna be an absolute star. One of a small handful of guys i've seen from this new NXT era that has "it" imo. Has the look, the attitude, the aggression, dude's gonna be a player.

Well so much for that. They must have taken an uber back to the building.

What was the point of having that segment where Alba took out Gigi and Jacy if they're were just gonna be there anyway

If Shotzi vs Lash Legend isn't an absolute train wreck, I'll be shocked.

I'll be shocked if it lasts longer than 5 minutes tbh

Bron is most likely retaining, but I'm pulling for Dragunov.

That main event was awesome. I bit hard when McDonagh threw Breakker out after the military press.
Wonder who'll eventually dethrone him

Given the work in that match, it deserved a better finish.

I think I enjoyed the show, something about it just didn't click with me. Like, I really enjoyed the main event but something was keeping me from just LOVING it. Hard to describe and I don't know why that was.
Haunted House was weird. It wasn't funny and then Toxic just ends up back at the arena to help? Just odd and pointless feeling.
Julius has an refined aggression to his matches that I feel needs some polishing. Like you can see everything in him that makes a great wrestler, but he still comes across as green and almost careless at times with how little he protects his opponent. That powerbomb onto the stretcher was like half an inch away from Kemp's head hitting the corner of the table. If they can help him reel that in, he'll be great. But right now, I am so worried he is going to injury or paralyze someone everytime I see him wrestle.
I thought the ladder match was really fun! Some cool spots! Very happy to see Wes Lee win!
I think Ilija can have a 5 star classic with a broom so him delivering is never a surprise.
I don't hate any of the champs on NXT but the show does feel "same ol, same ol" with Bron & Mandy still as champs. The show could use a refresher in that sense for me.
Roxanne is so good! And so young too so she'll only get better! Cora is not as good. A lot rougher around the edges and never feels natural in the ring, with some pretty sloppy execution on things too. Hopefully her time in NXT allows her to get rid of that and really shine.

Casket match doesn't really fit either guy. I've been keeping up with the weekly results and when I saw blindfold match on the wheel... well that made sense. Watching the video package... I was convinced it would be. Then it was casket? 🤔😂 lol Show was enjoyable overall. Ladder match was great. So was the main event. Only things that made little sense were the before mentioned casket stip (decent match though) and the fact Gigi and Jacy came back

Julius Creed is a machine! Future star for sure.
Really enjoying Nathan Fraser too!

What’s the TLDR on Crews/Waller?

Dijak coming back to NXT is cool too. Guy had a great first run.
I like that they are using NXT to rehab some guys before sending them back up too. Apollo, Nakamura, and now Dijak.

What’s the TLDR on Crews/Waller? Apollo has visions where he can see the future. During a match Waller poked Apollo in the eye and won. So Apollo's eye was bright red. Apollo had a vision of Waller with red eyes too and that scared Waller (because Waller and the audience can also see Apollo's vision). So then Apollo returned with a red eye that was bleeding and it scared Waller. Then Apollo attacked Waller and dragged him under the ring, when Waller crawled back out his eyes were red and bleeding like Apollo's vision. Waller was having a match and then all of a sudden the lights changed and the Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal wheel started spinning (likely due to Apollo now having paranormal powers) and scaring Waller again. So they have a casket match.
