We're talking about all of that on the final NXT after show of the year and AfterBuzz TV. Let's go. I'm Maria Menounos and you're tuned in to AfterBuzz TV the ESPN of TV time now. Kill that sound of Iron Man Ike empty mag necklace knows. It's the one thing is NXT. It is the Wednesday night the white happy holidays everybody. It is December 18 or a week away from Christmas. And he the last time however Monica y'all I was a happy holiday season's greetings all of that. But you see NXT today was amazing. We had matches. That's how the sentence we got promos everyone do all of that before we do. Let's introduce our all main star Holly panel on the far far left. This guy knows the reason for the season he is a silent night David Christopher. How's it going sir? And it's true. It's going good. I am in the best place to be the best after-show and HTML sure that is because we are cooler than the North Pole. Yeah, and I'm wearing this awesome sweatshirt as well there now school is we are aw is right after this, but on this right she is a poinsettia princess. She's a peppermint Powerhouse give it up for the emmy-nominated.

It's a wonderful life. So check out Star Wars and do his amazing. I love it. One of the best shows an AfterBuzz TV if you haven't already and let's take overall thoughts this show was billed as one of the biggest of the year of mid winter finale if you will, that's what that is. Yeah, you know, there was a lot of anticipation leading up to this show. I think you know, I think it delivered in some aspects. I think you know this the new Champion definitely Like, you know made the Nyan but I think you know, I think it was I don't know if it was full takeover full takeover realm but I liked it actually really liked his one of my I think was one of my more favorite an excuse that we've had, you know, because it's up and down but I think you know obviously being a fin fan I was I was pretty bummed about that was disappointed. But it bounced out for me a little bit because again, I was backing rip it Ripley and I did call that as I said, he's gonna take it. Yeah, so it balanced out for me a little bit and I thought the matches in between there were actually very good. I was entertained. I mean the performances athletes were put on a phenomenal show. So overall I thought it was a good take some kind of in the middle of feel like the matches tonight had a reason for happening. They weren't just like random like, you know driver matches or yeah them so it's person before so everything had a purpose but on the same time, it was like up all the the two-week build shows I've seen there. We're stronger one of those were wrong not hey Lennox. He I love NXT. It's a wizard, right? Yeah. I'm just saying that the link between little bit of a nougat in the middle here. It was kind of like your favorite. It was like, yeah the caramel in the middle of the chocolate bar. You got some really great stuff in the beginning and you know, I'd hard question on the metal putting on the spot. Yeah. Favorite candy bar favorite candy bar Snickers. Okay. Classic Choice Snickers, but yeah, you know, I'm right there with you on the Snickers that's normal in my my go-to, but just to be different. I'll say KitKat. I'll see you think that was gonna be my be just a waiver. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a simple man. I'm Three Musketeers title is probably the most prestigious title in the company. If not the world to the match delivered punk rock. Let me know bold statement. That's a bold statement over all the titles in the you know, yeah. He had I'm you know what? I mean? And here's the thing I gave adam Cole, you know some stuff in the past him hard time the past right? I will say I was really impressed with his performance today. I really was he put on a great show. I mean him and Finn tore down, you know again, I was disappointed that Finn lost but I mean good for Adam Cole. I mean a good push Finn got him over I mean in props to fin for doing that as well. That's really awesome. And you know, let's see where this goes and obviously Gargano is coming in and that's going to be the feud with Fins, so does that mean Chapo orally now with Adam Cole? So we're going but I mean the the match it was great. I really liked it. You can tell they're both very competitive the match. It was very back and forth. The Maneuvers were it was just it was on point like the chat blowing up for KitKat. Apparently, they're real of Kick-Ass. Yeah for me. I felt like Balor and Cole had this amazing Dynamic where they they are so good at what they do that. They In there and I felt like you know, they both brought the energy they broke both brought the intensity that was needed in order to make this this championship match like, you know believable, right? And I think you know, they work towards each other's injuries and like their vulnerabilities and you know, there was you know, balor's really great and all of those like super cakes than Super Kicks. I mean, he caught a good one when I can't daddy cut that it was like yes, it was almost like HBK asked I was like, okay, that was pretty good. I have to give a shout out for all the commentary on this match because my favorite line was that Balor was faster than a caffeinated hummingbird. Yes. I heard that that is brilliant because they both were working so fast, but all of their moves were so deliberate and so on point that it just made it really engaging to watch. Nothing me. I don't care what's hands on the ganas in the Mexicans Balor. That's all. Okay, is that the way you would have done it? Would you have again? I'll come out and have been distracted with you have again. I'll interfere in the match causing the DQ. Was that the right call tonight. Yeah, I mean part of you know, I have mixed feelings about you know, Gargano coming out and distracting Balor because it was such the match was so good. And then that happened and it felt like such an extended period of time of a distraction. Yeah that I felt it felt a little less. Isabel that Ballard would fall for something like that. Yeah. I say no again. I like I've said in the past I think Finch it's like the belt and I think if anything they would have had Gargano come out and start the few from there maybe attack them, you know, maybe one thing comes down to us as promo or something or even maybe Adam Cole and Gargano and we take this into like a triple triple threat match or something like that more build up, you know, but I don't again no discredit to Adam Cole, but I think Finch it took the belt. I agree with you guys. I just saying you have you have one stable? With all the bells you want to have the Adam Cole drop it first. I just saw it coming. I'm just putting it out there again. I am make fun of the storyline make fun of the draping goal thing. But if I was a creative writer for we and someone's like make this brand compelling with all your belt with one group. I'd like I quit I can't do it. That's way too hard man child Yasmin to get lucky get the crap of lot, but they're good people. I also want to shout out to all the people in the chat. I want to say you guys have been amazing all year. I'm talking guys like mods and Dylan, but she didn't he said to me so many gifts and gifts. - yeah, I feel like I'm Maria Lucci baby was reaching out to me. I'm about to show you guys are amazing. I've they weren't for getting me. I was going to say thank you to because I know you guys to end, you know our Turtle Shockwave. I mean you guys are the reason I'm Sharlene you guys are the reason why we do this but moving on before we get to our next match right guy. Where you at? I like it already. You better subscribe. Bruce every time a wrestling bell rings an angel Garza gets its wings. Yes. Yes, go on iTunes. Give us a five star rating. Happy holidays Merry Christmas back to you flow boys that man that was like I say that I think we're going to have an NXT Christmas album coming out what we should do right guys. Our next match was Damien priest against killing and Dana. This is what that's what was talked about earlier, but having resolution couple weeks ago killing and injuring Oh ding increase Alpha retribution tonight little bit interesting that with Pete Dunn removed from this Dynamic. We said you got to heels on paper in a grudge match. Did it work out to its favor or was it that you meant and what? Yeah, you know, I felt like it might have been a little detrimental for both of them because they're both coming in here with similar looks and entrances and music that it kind of feels like two heels are going against each other and it doesn't really drive the story of this big rivalry. And you know, they're trying to build this like bitter battle between these between these two guys and you know, they have incredible incredible moves. They're really great at you know, using their strengths. Yeah, but I didn't really feel it in this in this moment tonight. Sure. I want to say in the chat. We didn't forget about you. Dang mq or Joseph Goebbels just sewing people to name the chat. You're turning on me a chance. We have Killian Dane. And who we've talked about weeks on the show saying he's not really connecting with the audience. Damien priest has a decent movie set. But honestly, it's kind of an also-ran putting you guys together after the result of the fin about a I'm cold - was that a mistake, you know, I don't I don't think so, especially with these two guys. We got to keep eyes on him. We got to keep this like we're saying this Feud engaging up it is I do agree. It is kind of like two Hills going at each other, but I was actually pretty impressed with this match, you know, and I think just the way it went the story The trying to tell these two essentially bigger guys go At it I mean it was the best. I think that they can do with where they were and I guess a storyline in general, you know, so I enjoyed it and to see Dane get the the pin was was to me I was like, okay awesome. I like that. I like where it's going and then you know priest who he's one of the guys as we talked about the past like, where is this guy going? What are we going to do with him? You know, so I'm still I'm still kind of you know, it's a question mark, you know, yeah, if you're Killian Dane, where do you go? I mean, you know Pete done pretty much rolled over. I mean they have this match here tonight. I have given preschool coming over the victory, but if you're killing day and what's the next threat? What is the next challenge for someone that you're supposed to be an animal doesn't get Beast? Yeah, and then your first two guys interact with beat you clean the Feast of the Beast of Belfast. Yeah. Oh that's yeah, you know, he had you know, they're they're building up Jillian Canaan and and have been for a really long time. I've named Dylan came. Yeah. As you know, he has this huge lifts and core strength and you know just throwing guys around and you can only do that for so long until you need that appropriate opponent that you can really like showcase what you can do and I feel like they haven't found that niche of where there were some good spots on this mess there were some awesome Maneuvers big slams. I mean two big guys, but I agree with you. Yeah, we need to see where we need something else for this guy. You know, we're someone is serving for the match and when I but appear Erisa wrestling purists would say why do certain Superstars choose the wrestling genes that hurt the overall appeal of someone look like they're dumping a house or do some carpentry work and going to work to wrestle. Yeah. I'm biased on this and because I had you know in my mind always envisioned if I was a wrestler, what would my outfit be and that just opens a whole new box you can of worms but one of them would be almost like Aid I don't know if we can say his name anymore Dean Ambrose attire, you know come with the leather jacket, maybe cut off out of the jeans Rock the boots. It's very close to Dean Ambrose and I was like I don't know how you can wrestle and jeans though. I mean, even if there are some genes that are like this Dragon James asked me up at assen jeggings. You can't let go to soccer practice and God, I'm gonna wrestle after work. Yeah, I guess if we are if we are looking at references, I mean Ambrose did pull it off, you know, but I don't know if that works for No, can't wait. Dan the Blue Jays. I don't think it works because it you know, it just it feels like the top part is like really rough and scary and the bottom is like pretty tight. So - yeah pretty serious, but it's funny to play. I'm gonna be on the opposite end City, but like I actually did like it because it was for me it was different for him and you know and the way he wrestled away the match went he got the win you note for me. It was just like a different day and I was like, oh, okay. I actually I did enjoy it. I do understand what you're I mean is like Rockin jeans, you know to work right but I mean, you know, that's what you're going to what you're going to wear. It's casual Fridays Right Moving On we had an announcement made tonight that Dusty Rose Class Type some classic is coming back probably the third or fourth iteration. I'm excited for this because of what it meant for past one of the Alp, but the question I have is who's gonna be in the tournament and if you guys have a early favorite or is this just way too early to tell your favorites it's early, but if Going to say favorite this can obviously be either riddle Keithley or Champa. In fact, it will order that Santiago. Not taxi. Oh shoot because I'd be really BB. Don't talk to you know, what? Can we do that the black man in the singles division? Pull up that like haven't done it something. Yeah me neither. There are some thought and take an arm's yeah done and Roderick strong about two years ago, but I always said it last this time last year. The Forgotten son should have won that tournament only because they needed it more than anyone else' maybe thats there might be their year, but maybe I always think it's pretty cool to have it around WrestleMania season. All right. So moving on after that. We had a match based on accessories as a Cameron ground without his hat things like the cheetah with his hat and they classic every mate. What's up? Well, that was the first thing I said, where's his hat? I wanted his hat and then you know in the you've reminded me like the heck I taken away his power going to the power. I know what happened. You know, I'm wondering what there but I did love because she does entrance with the hat. I was like, yeah, that's where it is. Look a Taurus. Wow. Yeah, I just it felt like it felt a little more lighthearted and comedic for kishida. So that was nice to see ya and you know because she does like that has such Innovative moves and is so acrobatic and has such intricate movements that I think Cameron Grimes is a good match in order to like it kind of elevates them a little bit and I'm still not sure what they're doing and Do you have questions about where they're taking this because I'm not sure what Cameron Grimes is going to do next right? That's that's really next question David Christopher actually actually questioned the chat saying Breeze angle for how about Breeze ankles in the mix as well. That's a be fun. But the question for you David was so we have camera Grimes was sick finish of the cave in got his hat back. Did it matter the storyline was wrapped up so quickly or did you want to see more between kushida and this interplay or was just like perfect two-week program? I think it was perfect to be. And I like the contrast of the superstars the characters they bring it's so different. I mean, you know, you can shoot you got that veteran his Maneuvers set. This is crazy, you know and then again coming up with crimes, you know how we're playing a little bit on his character a little bit. But now that he gets his hat back that tells a story in itself. It's fun. It was a great match. You know, I think that was that was good. Now, let's build more. Let's build off of this and let's see where we can what we can do with Grimes and hopefully you something that character because I think using that hat could be something that we can build with to I mean, it sounds silly it has But I mean, there's so much Santino, you know with his little snake or socket Mick Foley. There's so many little things that are silly like that but they could actually help build a character. Absolutely right and that could be something for real. You're right. You're right. I can argue that at all. So it looks like camera grandma's going to be around four rounds. Yeah, is it too late for cushy to connect with the audience? It is something he's missing to make him like that guy a star maybe the next thing you know, I I'm not sure. I mean, I feel like he's he has the chance to do it, but I'm not sure. If he's had the right opponent yet gratitude to really put them over and you know, they're doing amazing moves like the German suplex and stuff like that and like the he has the ability to do incredible stuff, but I don't know they're still trying to like figure it out. Yeah, and but I think he can be put over if they find the right person. I don't know if Grimes was it tonight. Yeah, I mean II like kishida and I mean his talent is amazing, you know, and obviously he's been in the game for a long time and I think that's it Emily. I think if we just find him the right opponent, yeah, I think he still has the opportunity to get over. Okay, because I mean Negative Nancy was saying there's nothing here but nigga can't see if they were here would say here's a guy that was like many people before him got so many vignettes in promos. Yeah, he had a lot of problems leading up sure and granted the injuries. You can't predict injuries, but he came in and he had a couple matches here and there was off TV and came back and now he's in misery and undercard Feud with preferentially a new breakout Talent this year. He may be stuck there for a while. What nigga Nancy was a house? I mean, I'm totally not face. I mean, yeah, it is all that's always possible. Absolutely. I agree. But again, like I'm just going off of you know, being a positive Hall positive fault because he is so good and there's so much talent there. He's a great athlete. I think, you know, let's give this guy a shot. Hope he doesn't get stuck. But yes, it is possible Nancy. Whoa. Coolest part of the show what's up? What's going on guys? It is punk rock spin of the night and tonight. It's going to be pretty obvious because for me I thought it was super awesome to see Rhea Ripley and Shannon bays are finally go at it one on one. The match was phenomenal. It was very back and forth. Obviously you had the underdog Andrea Ripley her UPS or Downs yet Shana basal plane that he'll we had the interference from her team. There's momentary like oh no, it's Shana going to pull it off or is going to be Ripley and then the finisher which was crazy. We thought you was out. Yeah, and she had that Hulk Hogan like coming back, you know coming back. So I mean, that's me was awesome. And then just to see Ripley finally get it, you know, she's earned it she deserves it. So that is your punk rock pin of the night great for killing the referee somehow. Now I agree and to me it you know in Santana. It was the match. I liked better than the idea. I guess of it. I love the way Santana performed. I thought she brought it she put on a great performance. You know that the match to me was it was more fun towards the end as we got further into it. I almost thought Santana was going to pull it off. Obviously those all those things that you know, we talked about the past with her. She's kind of just there as well. She's been in the game a long time. Yeah, but I don't know what step to make a her either but I enjoyed the match lot and I thought her performance overall was I don't want to say, you know down peo but I thought it was it was a little bit more shiny than EOS. True Evelyn makes antenna Garrett as appeared sparingly on done anything. TV, I think the last time we saw her she was in a losing effort against I Nora what is Santana character role? Is she going to be a star in her own right or is she someone to let me help to enhance all the talents point or career? Well, I mean you have to with any Talent that's moving into the PC and having you know, having the development and learning like you're not going to start right away having like these these intense matches. So I think she's not going to stay in. In that position I but I think she does need to develop what her brand a little bit more and kind and you know the style that she really wants to focus on. I think it was a good matchup against Eva. Shorai. I think Gia shrike helped Elevate her and they had you know, because you sure I has this very like sadistic style, you know and Santana kind of contrast that which is great pure athlete. Yeah, so, but it I think she will find her place, but it's going to just take time. Can I put you on the spot here and say do you think she will get the enemy in the consideration for that women's title within the next year or so was it was like, oh, yeah. Sure. I Orono say it again. He's right CeCe good. She goes she's I don't know if it will be in the next year not. Okay. That's a very I mean it's a prediction about us figured. I think that's yeah. That's where it's at with me to I think it's just a matter of knowing what her brand is. I'm not Sort of brand is yet? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, and I guess I'm not sure why I like I'm on board to support her yet, which is fine. I think she's incredible. But I think I need to know how that how that back up. I was with you. Did she hit that stiff shot the hills face and I was like, yeah, you heard it like a cross. No, denying her down. Yeah, so yeah, I commend her but I think you know with every type of athlete and every type of artist teach develop. Well, yeah, I mean, if you're not athletic person you can trust you get you don't get tickets to dance. Yeah. So this is the but moving on in the spirit of the holidays miss Emily may as well have a little bit of story time. So gather round with your loved ones everyone gather around we're gonna have a little story time. I need some hot chocolate get some hot chocolate get your marshmallows in there. So Twas the night before and XT and on every screen not a wrestler was stirring not even Chelsea Green. The ropes were tightened on the Square with care in hopes that Saint Hunter soon would be there. The talents were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of Velveteen danced in their heads. And done in his singlet and Grimes in his hat. Had just settled down for a long Winters nap. When in the locker room there arose such a clatter Champa and Balor returned to see what was the matter away to Full Sail. They flew like a flash tore down the roof without high-flying splash the belts on the shoulder of one confident coal River gave all of his Challengers a lofty. New goal who would be challenging the Suave blue-eyed Beast the archer in infamy Damian priest a smash of his hammer tour quickest under they knew in a moment. It must be Saint Hunter more rapid than Rush his coursers. They came and he whistled and shouted and called them by name now Bellaire now pays were now Ritalin. Reeves on the rayon Ripley on Garza and Breeze to the top of the Rope to the top of the cage now dive away dive away dive now with range so up to take over the talent they flew the cards stacked with matches and Dakota ky2 and then in a hurry, they moved to USA. We're on cable TV. They would finally play they drew in the fans and a new home was found. And down the entrance ramp Keithley came with a bound we basked in his glory and couldn't look back. He sure looked like a boss just like our very own emac. Hey, we all spring from our seats for the show that we love and away all of our favorite sword for above for this was the year to exclaim with all our might. Happy NXT to all and to To all a good night. That's like a best-selling author are there. Yeah, that's amazing. That's a good job and good work. Trucks, I think he could be but the magic that was okay David Christopher thoughts about that. I mean, I think you kind of narrowed that one down. Yeah, the the match was good Pete Dunn still we can still see some so much more from I love that finish of that was intense at the end was really called the suplex X-Factor or something like that. Yeah. That was awesome. It was very entertaining to see like they say the Two Worlds Collide which is really cool because I'm just getting into the other NXT Europe, you know, that's tough. So and I mean again to rezoning on his name. I'm sorry as a combat Travis. Thanks. Yes Banks John Cena Yeah. How they both kept up the the spots were on the Maneuvers are quick. It was it was very just entertaining man. I enjoyed it. I it wasn't, you know, just kind of a slower. Here we go. It was very fun to watch. So I enjoy that. Yeah disable quick before you jump in their memory and it says Kyle Franklin says that was fire me so, you know I felt like it was a little slower match. You know, I'd like this idea of like the worlds colliding you have like this Bruiser wait classic style. But again, I felt like it was you know, and it might have just been the pace of where we were in the show overall sure. We were getting ready to go into the Women's Championship match. So I felt like it was a little bit slow and that it wasn't as you know, I want to see more I want to see above and beyond what you know, I know Don can bring it and I just felt like they're still you know, what? Travis banks are still trying to find that match. You just did it wasn't as solid for me. I mean it was solid wrestling but it didn't it didn't really bring me into the into the moment when you talked about with Pete Dunn sneaked in past episodes, but Travis bags as far as NXT runs it in two matches won against Jackson record The Forgotten Sons last week. He was impressive this one. He was on the losing end, but he did try I know the idea of the NXT territory system is to get talents and different locations that we see them. Are you on on board with Travis Banks over these two outings. Did you want to see more or you're like, I'm good. He's okay solid but nothing write home about I'm on banks to the time on banks. I'm on board with the bank's right now because I'm impressed with his last two matches. Like I said, I enjoyed his match today with done. I thought like I thought he'd put on a great performance the last week as well. And that's yeah exactly. I mean with the Forgotten Sons, like I said, we forgot about him no, no, I mean no but I mean his athleticism. I think there's so much potential that guys. Well, I'm curious. Like I said, he's sparked my interest. I'm curious. I wanna see more Give me both. I think if they keep matching him up with Don and people within that type of style then I think it will be a good good move for him. Yeah, and as a fan of both nxt's I hope people watch the xeu kettles on Thursdays at like 3:00 p.m. Eastern, but I think a lot of guys there and child. It's good to franchise. Yes. I'm sure yeah, that's what my favorite overall R and if I can be full disclosure. I feel like I like how NXT UK like mixes the the gritty but it's polished and it's like Indie, but it's like produce. It's all these harder things. Styles and characters so just like as a slice off one hour show. I love you Kay. That's be personally we should have an episode for that. Okay moving on. Uh, we just met you guys. Emily me you marked out I was screaming shouting because I have wanted Rio Ripley to win forever ever. Really Ripley has been my like star of the week on women's wrestling weekly. She like I think it's like she's she's she's been your boo thang my boo thing. You're busy everyone everyone. She is so incredibly talented and this You know, she had to be answered. They kept building this up. Like how how many days has it been? I know this for 400 450 in this range 570 combines a solid run supers. I mean above solid it is incredible and like they built Shayna baszler up into this Unstoppable Unstoppable athlete. There's a beast right Andrea Ripley. I knew when I suffer saw her come onto the scene that she was going to she was going to take it and I I am so proud of her. Yeah, we she's young. She's so young and shows so much I had of her and I just and I love like the fans, you know, that all came into the ring and like raising her up and we should be was hilarious. It's like wish a that much of a jerk, right? So cool to see her when I mean, she's the heart string, you know talent that we watch she's you know that Underdog you're rooting for you. It just resonates with you and again, obviously how they built Shana dis Unstoppable Champion, you know, like is it possible and then the way they told a story in the match to the back and forth and we're chain it was almost I mean I ripped it was almost out and just wish took a beating and it was it was great. It was just one of those things where I agree with you just had that moment when she won. It's almost like we all won. Yeah, we all.we and we've all been rooting for for Ripley and we have all followed her journey and they've told that journey and told that story really really well read and it paid off tonight, you know, and there was a few really special moments in tonight's match where you know baesler had Ripley in that really incredible submission hold and and she's trying to crawl out towards the Rope. Yeah, and I was like, oh no this isn't it like she's gonna know I was like, it's not happening. It's not happening here. She's gonna fight back and turn it around and support the poor raft. I got a little bit but some reflection to help fund. Yeah really bad here, but I think she turned it around and she made us all root for her which is which takes a really strong person to do that. And I think she's going to lead the women's division. Oh, that's great. That's a great thing because she definitely me despite her age definitely see that she has a lot of years in the game. So the next official takeovers in February this happened before the end of the year. So the question I have to ask is Shayna baszler Rumble entrant raw, call up or transfer we go. I think we should go from here. That's that's tough, man. Because obviously we send her somewhere else and who do we have Ripley ago? Who's her new Feud? You know, what is it to Kyoto or is it you think we're gonna bring down Lynch thing is I love Lynch to death, but the raw lamb is the vision is so thin that the even leave it on last week's episode. She's like, there's no one to fight. I'm being protected. There's no one-on-one competition. I think that would be the perfect you think she'll drop the belt and like in raw before coming down or do you think she'll take the title? They're what you mean Becky nobody's that Robert take a chance. We're taking shape on the Monday night stinks. I think Santa Rosa Monday night's yeah, but then who would be Ripley's rival? Yeah. That's him saying you got Dakota kind the back. That's what are you thinking of Dakota are bringing are encoded you sure I want to master night. And I mean the wrong the Rob women's division is really like right. I mean, I think peeing races coming back in the oven United Jax, but that is not enough because it was Russell made it being what through three months away. That's why you need so I think Nia going to NXT against rip Ali would be something I'd want to see I actually was he yes, I would love to bring Shana up against Lynch that I've wanted to see for the longest time. So absolutely I think that's a good trade-off through the chat says Eula Matthews Aussie, Aussie, Aussie takes the wrong title off of Becky and he over zarya, please. I think that's a next month because he doesn't have any friends. She had a master date with seem out of place, but she won hand-to-hand handedly. I'm just I wouldn't be as excited to see that though and and you know, just It's you know, but it's like I don't care opinions. They think that I would be as entertaining to me, you know, they're both obviously phenomena athletes, but I want to see something more with like a story, you know more of like a villain that's going to happen. But you have to give us the other Feats of the rear. First of right is there's no but I'm interested to see in January what kind of what type of media and like promos and things they put out for maybe some of this new talent coming up that maybe there's some people in the maybe there's some surprises coming down the line for NXT. Yeah promise. Absolutely, there's even but there's even room for raw. Even if you even if you did bring some town from NXT, there's where I mean like how we're saying that women's division. It's the especially the tag team. It's pretty thin. It's running thin, you know, the thing I really confusing of the women's tax division because it is open to all three brands and we can talk about it here is that the last few was on wrong which totally depleted that tire side, but it could have gone the next tee. Yeah. I'm bringing some new people are going to smack down with that division stacked as well. But to your point that one must act in the vision really needs a stable of ladies who can really make that decision maybe if they work on. In a division to raise the elevation of that right, you know, and I mean they did so much opportunity more growth more room for stars. My mean there's that it's a good time. I think. Yeah, and I you know back to it's Ripley's time to shine right now, and I'm excited to see what she does leading up to WrestleMania next year. So far the question 2023 really seems like she has a rocket strapped to her back. How does a woman to business change? Like how in what way are we going to interpret the NXT Women's Division? Yeah, I think it Ripley. You know, I think that roughly is a leader and I think she has the opportunity to bring people together and and and yeah, bring people together. Yeah, I love the fact that you have to legitimate badass but the mixing up like the rest. Yeah, she has a vulnerability and a side. Absolutely. I think we all relate to and I feel like that's why she will make a good Champion. Sure David, let's not absolutely. No, I agree with that. I think that's exactly what it's going to be now you have you have a face holding back? It's going to unite people. It's gonna give that positive hope that strength, you know, it's not like a Cena. Okay, so I mean not to compare not comparing I then but I mean as far as just a Vibe overall just positivity were someone you can really relate with someone, you know, we need that sometimes not. Yeah, but it's now time for us to get out of here. It's the last NXT episode after show of year come back for 2020. But well David Chris we're going to will find you online.

("WWE") in any way. ABOUT WWE NXT: WWE NXT is the professional wrestling developmental branch for WWE, based in Winter Park, Florida. From its inception in August 2012 to June 2013, it was a distinct but affiliated developmental territory for WWE under the name NXT Wrestling. In June 2013, the NXT Wrestling website was shut down and NXT content was moved to WWE.com. From February 2014, NXT started a series of live special events broadcast on the WWE Network, comparable to main roster pay-per-view shows. Despite its status as a developmental branch, NXT has been praised for its high quality of wrestling, captivating storylines, and the opportunities they afford female wrestlers as opposed to on the main roster; the latter of which has led to a change on how women's wrestling is portrayed in WWE. ---   This episode is sponsored by  · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.
