John from Cincinnati Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Haven't watched NXT in weeks. I'll definitely tune in for Charlotte defeating Io. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Karrion Kross and Scarlet were the best thing on the show. Put the title on any face and let him take it away from them in their first defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think maybe get rid of Scarlet "singing" to the ring, but other than that what an entrance. Best since Io's heel turn. Good show, but both title matches ended up more of story-line placeholders than actual definitive matches. Makes sense because I doubt we'll see a title change until they're back in front of a crowd (even a small one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 That entrance was unreal. Kevin is such a good dude. He has the potential to be huge...hopefully they don't drop the ball with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yeah that lipsync shit was automatic fast-forward territory for me, but literally everything else about the entrance fucking works. I dread to see what Vince will do to it once he gets to RAW or Smackdown, though. You know it's going to happen. Hopefully that's a long time from now, though.

Eivion Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Kross's & Scarlett's entrance was neat. No real opinion on Kross himself yet. Xia/Chelsea was ok for he angle. Aliyah joining the Robert Stone Brand is a good idea. Hopefully Vanessa does as well and they bring the tag titles to NXT for a bit. Both CW tournament matches were decent enough. Charlotte/Io was solid, but you could tell they were holding back a decent deal for the future. Dug the idea of the finish, but they probably should have built Charlotte gettign frustrated more. Rhea finally coming back to attack Charlotte was nice. Dug Rhea and into gettign into it. Dream/Cole was mostly background noise for me though I dug Lumis trying to make the save. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I did pop huge for the Lumis crawl from under the ring. That's probably a GIF-able moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Kross has great presence, and that has carried him a long way, but I’ve still yet to see the match that sells me on him as a great in-ring guy. Nevertheless, he feels fresh, and NXT is in dire need of something fresh, so hopefully they strap the rocket to him and see what happens, instead of side draining him like Riddle and Lee.

J.T. Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) A night of rushed matches. Aliyah joining the Stone Brand is probably a good idea since the mid-card ladies situation is very murky and most of their angles are going nowhere fast. Kross's entrance was fucking awesome. The only thing missing was a hot crowd to gasp in awe. I'm good with Adam Bay Bay retaining on a fairly do-nothing card. I expect Dream to beat Cole at the next PPV and then hopefully Kross will kill him for the belt a month later.

w. josh Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 As someone who has no interest in the generic hard rock/nu-metal that WWE traffics in, that entrance was pretty interminable to me, although I did really like the fog lingering in the ring. I'm also not all that stoked about another rear naked choke finisher. Dude definitely has an aura, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I imagine that entrance will play really well for a few weeks, but once you’ve seen them do it the exact same way 30 times, like every other WWE animatronic entrance these days, Scarlett’s vamping is going to be ultra-cringe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
