RIPPA Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It appears that these are the matches tonight Spoiler 4/13 show - Jason Jordan & Chad Gable beat Enzo Amore & Big Cass. - Nia Jax b Deonna Purrazzo - No Way Jose debuts on this show over Alexander Wolfe - Samoa Joe beat Apollo Crews via choke. Which is basically everything that was taped at the same time minus the Aries/Dawkins match. NXT's Twitter has promoted AA vs. Enzo/Cass and Joe vs. Crews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Crews's bump off the uranage was my favorite thing about tonight's show. The NXT crowd has its issues, but I appreciate them helping No Way Jose out tonight by reacting to him and getting some chants going. Plus, dude uses a heart punch, which is awesome. Looking at him in interviews, I sorta wish they'd packaged Aries as Rick Rude's secret bastard son and had him come out to Rude's Slam Jam theme and start doing neckbreakers and gryating and selling his damaged back while gyrating. I enjoyed the tag immensely, but I thought about Big Cass (and about Nia Jax) that they wrestle smaller than they are on a routine basis. This show ended like ten minutes early, sadly. Three hours of RAW but only forty-five minutes of this. COME ON. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If Rude's secret child ever gets offered as a gimmick, I expect a full on fight with people reaching for those brass ring filled airbrushed tights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Loved No Way Jose, obvi. My big takeaway though is that I hate my life for starting to like The Drifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Alexander Wolfe's theme music is so perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I actually really loved Wolfe's theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 That was the best Crews match yet. Joe really made him work for his comebacks, and Crews showed good fire fighting from underneath. Joe is the heel the main roster needs, but I'm glad he's in NXT with a potential Nakamura match on the horizon. Jose has charisma and some talent not a bad debut for him.

Cristobal Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thank God for NXT. I spent most of my workday wanting to stab someone and now that all feels like a distant memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Between the music for Wolfe this week and the music for Tucker Knight last week, I wonder if someone found some unused WCW stock music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think they're spinning their wheels with Joe until Cena recovers so that can be his first main roster program. But who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nia in the black and purple had sort of a Devil Masami vibe to it and for a big woman like here, I think that would be a good look for her use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 My only guess as to why Joe isn't champ is because they want Finn to have the belt during the UK tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they overtly made The Drifter's gimmick "audience troll," he became much better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 This was the first time I saw the Drifter. Does his guitar playing totally consist of little stings from Hill Street Blues and Law and Order? Because that's all I heard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows. My guess is they're trying to build up some more guys as viable main eventers. Itami is still injured, Crews and Corbin are pretty much main roster guys so that leaves Nakamura and Aries as the only guys I can think of offhand that would be suitable for world title contenders at this point.

Josh Mann Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 There's enough guys in NXT who are in Step One Of Legacy Mode who will be in Step 2 once they're called up. The world needs comedy gimmicks, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
