Sammy skipped his Alpha Academy spelling training this week.

I enjoyed the view of both rings which showed the referee moving a table.

Handcuffing Raquel is pointless as she'll find a way to break free.

Kevin Owens has to be the dumbest babyface for releasing a handcuffed to the ropes Uso and cuffing his hands together but not behind his back (so the cuffing didn't actually prevent Uso from doing anything later on).

Why was Sahsa on the floor for like 2 minutes after bumping into Carmella's sommelier? Since Bayley was still at ringside she could have slammed Sasha on the floor (which would have made sense as Sasha had just pinned her) - I get that Sasha wasn't supposed to be involved in the finish but laying on the floor for no reason for several minutes is just lame.

3 weeks ago we saw a similar botch.

My favourite spots:

Raquel was a real badass on NXT - she slammed Moon into the ringpost with authority and countered Moon's top rope stunner finisher (which is really more of a bum bump) with a bearhug.

The Kamille match doesn't seem to be from the UWN PPVs so I suppose it's fresh. I wouldn't mind seeing the 3-way number one contender match that Storm won. Instead of a mostly UWN recap show NWA could release a best of all time collection of matches and buildups with one big match every week. That should include the recent PPV match between Allysin Kay and Thunder Rosa which is probably their best televised match of the year (they already put some other PPV matches on their YouTube page but not the main ones).

So the faces in the women match throw weapons into the ring (chairs, ladders, a toolbox containing a hammer) while having the one person advantage and they still lose - they did a good job of burying the current and two former NXT women's champions. Raquel was booked as a monster babyface despite being a heel. Ripley continued her losing streak on NXT.

So (as Eivion also pointed out) murdering the illegal man with the ring steps is fine but breaking up a pin is an immediate DQ (Reigns was DQ'ed about 3 seconds after breaking up the pin)? Also, Bayley shouldn't lose to Natalya via submission in short matches. Beating Bayley should mean something. It means nothing if Bayley controls most of the match and then the opponent controls the last 30 seconds and wins. It reminded me of her short loss to Naomi in a beat the clock challenge earlier this year which also did nothing for Naomi (especially since it followed a short loss of Naomi to Sasha Banks).

The Eli Drake match was a dark match on the UWN Primetime Live PPV according to cagematch so it's technically a "new" match: https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=251430 I hope NWA will add more stuff on Shockwave in addition to matches that already aired on Primetime Live. I'd be pretty upset if I supported NWA on Patreon and only got to see matches I already saw on Primetime Live (I'm guessing the supporters are the diehard fans who already viewed some of the Primetime PPVs). I think NWA should put the title changes from Primetime Live on their YouTube channel as casual users will probably not be aware of the title changes but shouldn't center their new show around them as they aren't fresh.

Why was Elias's pinfall stopped when Jeff placed his hand on the ring ropes in a falls counts anywhere match, yet when Jeff pushed the guard rail while pinning Elias outside the ring the pinfall count continued? The rules are confusing.
