Congrats to Sexxy Red on winning NXT Battleground

Between the curly blonde just and white gear I got Double J vibes

I have been really loving the direction the WWE is taking over the last year or so, but this NXT show despite being entertaining had some things that really bothered me. Mainly why is there a top 10 countdown on a PLE/PPV??? I felt like there was way too much BS not connected to the actual show in between matches and this is something I have been noticing has been creeping in more and more! It really sucks too as I felt that the way the shows had been formatted was great and there was a good flow to them, but they are starting to have all this goo goo and ha ha in between that takes me out of the event.

My other complaint to be fair to the WWE may be just me being old and out of touch, but what is the deal with Sexy Red? Is this what passes as a great rapper these days? What happened to stuff like Naughty by Nature, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, hell even Lil Kim and Foxxy Brown if you want to have female rappers (although those two are probably not proving my cas? As I said, it is probably because I am old and not cool with what is cool these days I guess I do have to give them a pass on getting a modern celebrity, but I thought she was terrible.

Also, I love Booker T, he is probably in my top 20 of all time, but my god is he horrible on commentary!

Now, apart from that, I really enjoyed this show. I hated the Lash Legend stuff when she first came in and had that talk show, but she has really won me over and I think that she looks like a star and is a lot of fun. The stuff with Jordan was amazing, that was such a fun match and I love how hard hitting and brutal she is. The NXT title match was not that great, but I do not think that was anything to do with Ethan Page to be honest. granted, I am a big Page fan and it was great they put him in right at the top, but Trick Williams is not a great in ring performer so the match in all honesty was about as good as it could have been.

Oba Femi is the real deal. He's way more impressive than Melo, Trick, and Bron combined

Not the best show tbh. Managed to stay offline all day to avoid spoilers and wasn't worth it 😂

Predictable and not very exciting. NXT severely lacks main event talents and it really showed. Don't think the venue helped either tbh.

Perez/Grace by far the highlight for me. Oba and Wes would have been much better as a singles match. Gallus need to get in the bin.

Really? If you're not having Grace win, then at least have the match end in shenanigans.... Don't have her lose clean - and especially to crappy 'pop rocks'. Also, how much longer do we have to put up with this Trick Williams rubbish? Should've put the title on Page, straight away.
