I've seen two sets of spoilers that thought that was a work. Apparently Nia Jax kept working over the knee even after the "injury" If they really do break up Blake and Murphy, those two are done for. I like them, but they're fairly generic without Bliss and there's at least three better teams in NXT right now, never mind the main roster. Their best shot at the main roster seems to be keeping BAMF together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The results look decent to me though I'm a bit surprised at the direction they went with Bayley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 I will post the show threads when I get to work but since this isn't really a spoiler (if real) Per the WON (and I edited to remove match result) Quote Reader Chris Hughes sent along that former NXT Women's Champion and uber fan favorite Bayley was injured at tonight's NXT tapings in Winter Park, FL. Our JJ Williams also reported the same via Twitter with some pictures. However, there may be more than meets the eye here. The 26-year-old was wrestling Nia Jax in what is possibly the main event of the third week of tapings. She had Jax in a guillotine when Jax picked up her up for a suplex. Bayley landed behind her, one of her legs buckled and she went into the corner. The ref stalled for a minute and then Jax splashed her in the corner when she got up, did an elbow on the leg. After the match wrapped up, NXT trainers came out and helped Bayley to the back who was noticeably limping in a video clip we saw. Hughes and others said she appeared to be in a great deal of pain. Since posting the story, we've seen a few tweets saying the medical personnel was actually fellow developmental talent Chris Atkins, so it's possible this is a work. We'll have more on this story as we get additional information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Now that we're officially in the realm of "I want to see shit happen in wrestling only to piss off wrestling fans I don't like", I have a sudden desire to see Becky Lynch make a one-shot return to NXT to lose to Blue Pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I don't want to add a a new post to the Takeover thread, which is pretty much done with, so I'll add this. Just re-watched Nakamura/Zayn from Takeover. The match, the atmosphere, everything was outstanding. And if you were in the crowd for that, I love you very much for it. The "Fight forever" chant in particular gave me massive goosebumps that I just can't shake off. So great, so unbelievably wonderful, I have to see this again immediately. Zayn had a wonderful sendoff and Nak looked like a billion bucks. Just loved this so, so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I've re-watched it six times now just to try and get it in perspective (one tends to over-rate the most recently viewed stuff just because the details are freshest in one's mind); thing is, this holds up. Probably in my top-five all-time. Just improvable, sure one might have wished for a deeper backstory and feud, but for what it was, the farewell match of a beloved babyface and the introduction of a soon-to-be equally beloved champion, it was perfect. Zayn looked super strong in defeat and Nakamura won over the crowd as only he can. The crowd certainly helped. but you could have had this match in an empty arena and it still would have hit *****; both guys were just so perfectly in their respective grooves that you would think that they had a history of working with each for years ala Sami and KO. I'll keep my rating to "top five", but the truth is I've got a feeling that in one year, three years, five years, etc. I'll still feel equally strongly about this match. Just about as close to perfect on all levels as you can get. When you factor in the lack of experience working together it's just fucking amazing. I used to marvel at the those matches that traveling champs Harley Race and Ric Flair could pull off with guys in different territories that they had maybe worked with a handful of times or not at all, and this trumped anything that I've seen previously. Just amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
