Eivion Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Sonya is the only one with an MMA fighter gimmick. With Shayna and Ronda its more their background than purely what they are. Shayna has evolved into a bully who wants to terrorize her division. We are still a bit too early in to really know what Ronda is other than that she will tear your arm off and beat you with it if you piss her off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turk128 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I was gonna suggest they appropriate The Shoot Nation stable gimmick from the guys (since they never really officially used them on TV)... but the timing would be terrible given the current climate.

Wyld Samurai Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Shayna would be the unintended breakout star from a stable. She'd be amazing in the Arn role... but she would overshadow Rousey so much that they couldn't last long together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we already have 3 "MMA fighter" gimmicks, we certainly do not need 5. All in all, it's a good problem to have, but also one that can hurt your overall goals. At some point, they're probably going to need to change Sonya's gimmick, since they keep signing actually credible fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be giving her a stronger overall character where being an MMA fighter is just a part of her background opposed to who and what she is. That was needed even before Rousey and co. showed up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - I am assuming they will tape 6 weeks (3 each night) and that would get them through June 20 Otherwise they are going to do 5 weeks and then tape a week before Takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 While we’re talking tapings, I just realized I’m going to be in Orlando for work from June 19-22. For those of you who have attended tapings before: the NXT tickets site has the June 21st show sold out already but do they ever release extras day of show? Is there a secondary market like Stubhub normally for Full Sail tapings? I’ve done Florida house shows before but would love to take in a taping.

Tim Evans Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 They sometimes release tickets at the ticket office before the show. They did it today for like $5. Spoilers for takeover the top matches are: Alister black vs Lars Sullivan for the NXT title Nikki cross vs Shayna bayzler for the NXT women's title. Might be a three-way with Dakota.

I'm sure this guy is going to have all the crazy high flying spots, but he's going to need someone to help contextualize his athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Living in Houston, I feel like we have been spoiled by NXT. This Sunday is our fifth NXT show, and so far, we have been treated to two different Revival versus DIY matches (one of which was a dress rehearsal for their Brooklyn Takeover match, and the other a southern-style tag team match with two heat segments); as well as a post-draft farewell ceremony for Finn, Nia and Mojo; Velveteen Dream vs Aleister Black; and Pete Dunne vs Johnny Gargano. And for this Sunday's house show, they're advertising Ricochet vs Velveteen Dream. All hail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
