Shayna baszler means business Finn Balor means business Mauro ranallo is back and he means business. It's going to be hotter than chestnuts roasting because the NXT - show starts right now. I'm Maria Menounos and you're tuned in to AfterBuzz TV the ESP n of T v-- talk now let the buzz all the sounds of Iron Man means one thing NXT. And it is officially the Wednesday night the right guy. And that is Undisputed. I'm so happy to be here. I'm so I know it's been way too long. I love an iced tea. So I am here. Yeah, it's a seminar her right this guy. You call them punk rock, you can call him amazing. You can call him the man himself called 1/2 on the AfterBuzz TV wrestling tag team. We can't chance over the world David Christopher. I know what's going on. How you doing? I'm good. I'm good. You know I'm awake now. I'm feeling the vibe from the energy. Okay. Mmm. I'm here. I'm present how many hot the man is. The owner of the king's court half man half amazing. He is a controversial Firebrand hashtag Hilton to those in Ireland and rudeness and that of course, I have more to say than that. I'm just on a little bit of a high. So now I'm subdued I had a good conversation with Lana and Rusev separately today and I separately she made from from jail and just overall Thoughts with you. Today's episode like oh my God. Last month, well, I think overall I mean you're coming back from like a few weeks after Survivor series and more games. And so again, you have to bring it you have to show your talent and NXT brings it every week. So look. Well. I mean, yeah, you know, here's here's the thing. I you know, we were on this high with the NXT bring, you know going into war games to survive E-Series. I mean, they're just kicking. But yeah, it was just it was really fun if I go on this roller coaster and Almost feel like not we're going down, but it's kind of like know just kind of smooth and even and you're trying to like bounce you can't always be a true eventually. We got to go down a little bit. So I think that's where we're at right now. But let's see where it goes to Mo think about what the match and fuzzy of coming off the raw and raw had his own. On just book thoughts about this week's edition. Yeah, obviously, it's not as hot as it was going into war games and Survivor since they were on top. I mean, where do you go after he kind of dominated Survivor series not only war games that they did an awesome job, but it just going to naturally take you down a bit and I felt it there wasn't that hype and energy kind of going into that paper if you were all like, you know, there was a lot of yeah that energy we just want to recreate that kind of back to a regular show which is fine. It's a good show, you know. But obviously it's not writing that that hot special momentum. They had in the last few weeks some of them in time one Pete Dunn had a match with Killian Danes a day Paint done has been okay. I can argue over the past month besides Adam Cole into keighley piton got a lot of elevation on Survivor series and War Games the match himself. He was on the losing end. Jim Alexander me I start with you Pete Dunn where he was here five six, maybe a year ago was considered one of the best but he lost them all these up-and-coming guy. I mean two years ago. He was putting out matches of the year. No one knew about it great was annexed Tuk. Why is he losing stuff? Why is he still losing? There's no reason for him to lose cleanly tonight. Well, you know, I know it's the kind of a weird pain and all that but Killian Dana isn't as over never will be as over as peidong has the potential to be in should be I just don't like him picking up lost. I know when we talk about wins and losses don't matter it matters for a guy like this because he was kind of stuck in a rut and he needs every win to boost himself back up there build himself back. Cup where he was supposed to be. I just don't like him seeing and clean losses for sure. No way. Yeah, you know Jim I have to back you on that man. I don't I don't know why he took that out. I don't get it. I'm with you the guy's got so much talent so much potential. I mean, he needs the right push back because this guy break like watching those matches had recently. I mean, especially with riddle going in there. I mean the championship match. I mean when he had with Cole, I mean just killing it man. This guy deserves so much. Or and it seemed taken out and I was kind of what's going on with this, you know, like somehow needs grammar structures and we we thought about the actual result first about the match. Well, so I we were kind of like talking about it kind of going back and forth and you know, like you guys said Pete on is really like they're both really phenomenal but Pete Dunn really has this this this story that can be built but isn't quite there yet and he keeps, you know, he keeps losing he had really great moments the Last few weeks and so I think they're going to find where he fits into this NXT world. We just we just have to wait a little bit. Yeah, we had to wait a little bit longer, but you know, I really wanted him to him to win tonight just to like get something, you know, get a little get a little hope and a little like momentum going but it obviously wasn't the real question is killing thing gets it w is he more established now, it doesn't open that door. No, because really it doesn't again like what you said, it doesn't do anything for him. It does more for Pete done for him to get the window. So I wish that he got it. You know, what's that you in the chest? How's everyone at right now? Dang and que Jose opposes Ruckus all you guys we appreciate the fun size 40. I want to say what's up. You guys can directly chat all throughout the show will be answering your questions, but I would imagine so Okay, it was solid was slow. It shows nxt's range, but it was kind of weird that people lost the way he did eating it rolled up. There was no interference. It was just exhausted. Yeah. David can tell the world.

I really want to save time and talk about that. But before we talk about her mask later on today, but thoughts about her being a heel and are you on board with her the new Dakota Chi David? Here's the thing. I you know, I'm I'm a little unsettled with how this is going. So at first yes, we had actually called it before it happened. We talked about on air that you know, it was the right time the right moment for her to become heal, but they could have literally gave her such a good push with this healed. Turn right now where I feel like even tonight with her getting beat up and they kind of squashed her a little bit, you know, it was kind of like they should have made her more of a dominant forces should have made her more just like oh she just enraged now this bad he'll she's a tough chick, but I felt like the last few matches is she's kind of putting her flame a little bit. You know, we're dumping him. Let's go for Emily. That's what about this. So we had this math schedule with a coat of Carver's Ripley's comes out. She's all like my girl me is gonna handle this and me I'm comes out and Tim's. Yes, New York style. When you want to know, I'm not a new heels and I actually like well, I like the abundance of heels right now in the Women's Division. I think it adds a some variety and you know, she her he'll turn, you know, the last few weeks like has been I think she needed it. I think it's giving her the push where she can like have these stories develop and have these matches against people that she wouldn't necessarily be in the ring with I think I think that where is it going? That's my train of thought but it's kind of like it's kind of getting her butt kicked. She's not that. Big number. Yes. She was even me and was even dressed look like she getting shit look like sweatpants sweatpants knocking out your big heel. It's like what does that do for her? You know, that's true. But I think you need those moments of highs and lows in order us to establish that line where like the the stakes and objectives and later might be a little bit higher so you have to have like those moments where you are down and then you rise to the Mountaintop. No, right right, but I mean, she's literally On that high of just having that shocking turn, you know, so it's kind of like built her up a little bit more. Yeah make her a little bit more intimidating make more tougher. So I agree with you, you know, and you do you think she can do it though. Like is she there? I think she can I'm not sure if she's in the position to do. Allure and the other four horsewomen so she looks like she's going to be the one to have the next mattress and a base layer shisha. Jim Alexander is really someone who's capable of being LeBron James upper-division. Yes. She has not many LeBron. No, I don't think it will happen because I don't see them moving shit. We kept talking about Shana's coming up next. She's coming to the main roster. I think now with that new brand that and exceeds become I think she's staying there. I agree and they're going to keep that title on her at some point. You got to drop it because it should become stale it becomes there's a difference between dominating and just holding on to it versus then the title being an accessory and I think it's a entering the territory just an accessory. You don't even acknowledge. It just be kind of became like a sticker on her, you know. We need more substance. I think someone taking that to off of her does two things. It gives the title more credibility again and notice and it makes someone look like a star by beating base our Ripley has that look she legitimately looks like she could be the one that could finally take baser out and you'd believe it. We don't believe Kansas or a could do it or someone like that, but I do believe she could do it. So this is your chance. They've done this don't do the same thing you did with the southern. Lazy Evans Lacey having yeah, this is a see those events because not make that mistake in the spot. She should if they're going to give that title over. She's the one who should handle it. Absolutely. Well, I think she can you know, I feel like she has been dominating the Women's Division and NXT and I think I think it is her time to shine, but I'm interested to see how it's going to play out because again, you don't I do it too soon. But you also want to build up to it and have a fine balance where it is where the fans feel like. It was a good payoff. Yeah fair enough, but Sheena basil wasn't action tonight. Non-title match against I lie. I have my thoughts about zai Leanne about how she was built up over the last couple weeks, but I'm gonna ask you guys about the match. The match itself was a little different little change of pace here for our women's division here at NXT. Jim Alexander her the low you go first help me out. What do you think about the match slightly? As prospects and say that these are established yourself with or without the prop of the women's exemptions. I'll lie too much like he oh sure I and Kyrie saying wait how well besides that aspect to her and like to happy. I don't want that. You can't be that happy and cheery. Baesler you need to have some bad ass Sprout. No, okay be just like hey waving flags and you know just petting kids and because she has a chance to happy. You're going to get Shane up here in about to get destroyed. Show some Moxie you need that Underdog Story you need someone to fight for and so you and she's it. So happy doing that. What you need to be happy. Why can't we have some happiness? Wait, here here is my take on it. I'm anime fan. I have a new background. So I was excited about this in the beginning as I told you for was like this could be really cool if they do it, right? Yeah, it started off that way. I saw you nodding it started out that way with the Striking kicks. I'm I loved all that I was like this is gonna be awesome, you know, because they both are being a background. Yeah. I was like, this is red. And then it kind of just took a die for me a little bit that I don't think she's over at Soo. Yeah, you know what you like you don't really recognize her. You know, that's the thing. She doesn't stand out when she comes out there. Is it just that happy? It's so generic to me, you know the happy kind of thing could bring some Edge bring some Persona and you said she has an MI background and fighting she displays that in a ring, but I need that toward when she's walking. Walking up towards hearing show me something that makes me believe that you're going to bring that out and actually want to like a Rousey coming out that like that kind of like intensity that cheery and happy especially because you're going to it's like it's like someone had being happy going in fighting Brock Lesnar. You're about to destroy him. Moving on she's not to attend to here, please man. It's actually xylene. Here's a reason why I like your purse ever to time boo thing of the week. It's not so much the fact she lost the way she was built. We saw a couple years ago and me uncle Asik so awfully under Powers. That's right zero we built up a little bit have some adult matches won that match couple weeks ago with the Lea by breaking her nose Maybe by accident maybe on purpose. She has a mess with Shayna baszler non-title of fair and you got offense in her style is different and to compare her to ear shorai is a totally disservice because two things one Jenna promo right before saying I'm angry. Well, I was on board is inviting and fun and to her office looking hurt. It isn't like I'm some ladies and some guys were roster has me schmoozer. Like I don't believe that at all. I really believe that she kicked me in the face. And that's why as I lie is this week's book of the week. Yeah. Let's go Leo like I yeah. Well, I will I will second you on that flow because you specially showed me her Instagram where she was doing legitimate striking Muay Thai kicks. I was like, okay, so she's legit agree that in the beginning of the match like I was like, oh, this is something different you're there when you bring a different wrestlers from different backgrounds together that actually don't start as wrestlers. But they train later they get to bring their background to their to their work and to the ring and I think showcasing that just will make it a more diverse roster and so I can appreciate it. And you know, I think if they develop it a little bit more and find moments where like they continued that build in the match and keep it engaging then she's gonna again, yeah be the Abu thing like three times. Jim Alexander king's court. She is the most handsome charming intellectual and brilliant man on God's green earth. He related to Siri pay attention when the AfterBuzz King speaks. In the king's court, I'm sorry, but I will be putting in Lana Morgan wherever she is and we're putting Kathy Kelly you want someone from the show the bus leave me alone. I want to put someone in a show. Yeah. But and we have Lashley and Rusev outside the door holding down the king's court. So this is this is a good group this week. Oh my goodness. There we go. Good things over why the forget the Forgotten sounds come out and they have a match against I think was Elena sin rough, but I have question marks in my nose. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Forgotten Sons looks like they're trying to rebuild them again. Only be the third possible time in the room. Next T. Emily may walk me through this forgotten sons. Are you would you will there be anything they can do now to make you engaged in that tag team are trying bit. Uh, they can try now. I don't know. I just I mean, I think there's always a possibility but I think tonight's match was just not doing it for me. It did just it was an in-between transitional match. So I felt like it was just leading to the next one. So and we watched it we kind of chatted about it, but it didn't I feel like they're going to have to have a different opponent in order their Christmas. with your that's imagine you you submit your tape twe, right they sign which I did I did by the way, I did you spot to the performance center you What do you expect so I think it's just a matter of what it could be the gimmick, you know could be their characters, but also just the booking and it just was there. Yeah, and it's also like the lineup of the show and the problem down and like where they're like, oh, well, we only have this much time and there's a lot that goes into it. So trying to find like okay we can fit this in and sometimes you know, maybe later they'll have a better match, but I think you know, it's also just a rundown of what happens Kim Alexander the Forgotten Sands want to turn out forgotten Jimmy question what's missing from them? Think they're perfect as they are. No, this need better opponents. Like this is now their kindly their chance someone were talking about that wasn't they weren't getting pushed through it. They're kind of been done. Remember when that tag team tournament happened. They went bar in your dedication that tournament. Okay, and they were really getting up there and I thought they're going to continue that momentum. I don't know why it was halted. They had the same gimmick the same group right over. So why to mix work? Killian Dane and what's Cameron Grimes? Are they the biker gimmick to no camera? No camera groans. Lucky runs a haunted hayride Barnum the size d got the skills in hurry. I don't know. You can't say they're over people chant. We forgot you when they run they go against that would make it memorable should go right through that tacking. Jim Jim if you were right now is that many qualified teachers about teenagers groups are Regal right. Now. You're making these matches. What do you do with them? Yeah, start knocking people out interfering and mattress for real just like a people like if you were going to bring them either you bring them good at attacking opponents, which I think that roster right now and XT. Does it have many tag teams. You're just going to have to have them interfere and start beating people down randomly with no purpose or thing. Like you're forgotten Sons remember us bam knocking on that riddle, whoever I got going to make it look if they do that. So many times be meaningful though. It was being invited. That's what they're going to do. Their promos are gonna be like you wanted attention. You want to you forgot you forgot we're forgotten now remember us after him with that? Okay, because I think they're gimmick is supposed to be there like veterans that are forgotten like they returned home and then forgot. Yeah, nothing of their bikers, but the probably got but we gotta go on. I remember we got talk about this this thing then Finn Balor promo and over again jumping had the main event, but Dave and Chris were talking about Finn Balor and his positioning on the brand you're saying that and this Is true here saying that he is an elite-level guy, which I agree with and the current NXT champion. Adam Cole is not here's my thing. Here's my thing where I'm probably going to take a lot of heat for this and I'm okay. I'm okay with it. Don't don't get me wrong. I like Adam Cole. Maybe I like them but I don't feel he's as good as he's being pushed. I really don't I really don't I don't especially when you compare him to like a Finn Balor. I feel like when you get Finn Balor That is like a top-level elite. He's a superstar you just all right, when you look at Adam Cole, I think yeah, you know like he's good. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing before the internet. Adam Cole is good. Tim Ballard is great. Okay, there's a difference. Okay so Emily. Yeah. He said this before outside and you were like, oh hell no, it takes time to build stardom and to build Old that you know that that character that is like iconic and that will like stand the test of Time Finn Balor is that that has that star quality that like will forever be in like the WWE Hall of Fame like you're going to see him for years to come I think so, I think maybe we could talk about that but not the way he's been punished, but well but like Adam pulls having that moment where like he needs to build that star quality and like he's happy like he had that moment at Survivor series and Worrell. James and and those moments I think he'll have more of and that's where he's going to build those moments where you feel like he is a star and that he can carry the brand and the brand because she can't carry a roar Smackdown. That's for sure. Yeah. That's it. That's what I'm saying. That maybe not you can we talk about stars you put a star like for me a Drew McIntyre then you put Adam Cole maximum and I'm cold could be serving him lunch or something. That's not that's messed up. Right, but we always different and like we were talking about before what you know, the big deal with HBK Shawn Michaels, right? Who's big influence on Adam Cole smaller guy who's you know Legend but I think it comes down to and it was even comparing riddle because there's so many comparisons to Shawn Michaels so many influences, you know, I think riddle has more of the grit and tenacity Sean has as opposed to Adam Cole from when I see Adam Cole, he just doesn't have that. What star does he compare? And he's good. He's great. I like that. I'm cold, but I don't I don't see him on that pedestal that they're putting him on right now. I feel like I really feel like bro. Our riddle has has a better shot. What's Adam Cole without that group? That's what I say. I think that is true. But I think one of those things is like like Finn Balor is like one-of-a-kind and so you can so you can't say okay, he's gonna be like have the Act Level of Star Quality is Finn Balor. He has to create his own story and create his own moments. And so you just develop that over time and he's developing it right now. So I'm not going to count him out what she developing know. He's developing his whole his whole brand story is right. What is the Adam Cole bread? Because that's why I know you did make a good point and I'm bringing to where we are right now with this because you said, you know, it was almost like how HBK He first had his like I see run he was at gimmick first coming in the Heartbreak Kid. He was kind of you know, he wasn't what he became, right? So maybe in that sense. Maybe that's where the Adam Cole is finding his Mark developing get it maybe as we go maybe he will evolve into that will see I'm not kind of the guy like I said, he's good, but I just don't see him at that pedestal top level yet fair enough. I gotta run but I know it is now time for a punk rock spin up. Yes. All right, okay. All right guy, I dig it. Okay. So tonight's program pin of the night. Okay. I mean, I'm gonna call this one. It's like ever done. That's it. All right. All right. Oh no, I mean I'm gonna just roll because this is the war games, you know just re Mass. Basically, I mean, we got all the top stars in there. You know it Champa with Lee riddle, you know Undisputed era. I'm gonna go with that for the Mets tonight tonight. We knew you know, he's getting a great push. He's on a roll right now. We knew he was going to just dominate at the end have his moment which he did. I liked it, of course Balor coming out and then that whole, you know battle with them and now we got this crazy match going for who's the winner or they're going to challenge for the title. So that will be our punk rock pin of the night because it was the moment of the night. I would say. Well the night I want to put a task on this the former Chris hero caches. Oh, no appears. You just discuss about the guy like right back. Now get over here David stuff out of the way. No. Hey, man, there's no hate and about tonight know. Hey, here's just the thing riddle is on a high right now as well. He's being pushed likely he and like like I said when I watch him in that match with done, I mean I was already with riddle, but when I watch him in that match with done, I was like, okay. This guy's a real deal, you know that wrestling technician that he has, you know, he obviously has a little bit of that that striking background here. This guy is good man. He's a better than I thought he was and you know, and no disrespect to see him come out. And I have already forgot his name because I don't know cash is over. No disrespect him at all. Try to mix it up a little bit. No, I mean I like the I like the contrast, you know, we haven't seen Cassius in a while. So it's nice to like see him in the ring and kind of see him kind of go against a riddle. And you know, I think it was a good highlight match for the night and you know riddle took it took it home. But you know, it's it was a dynamic, you know highlight. I must have been watching Dynamite or something because Yeah, sure. I'll be going with children on the swings. I was cool. Yeah, I love that prom. I loved it. I'll see you like him being happy Jim. It's okay for him to be happy. Yeah, you know the kid it's a happy moment coming down this line coming off the injury, you know it R is equal to b gets wrong with Mendoza. But Cameron Grimes gets involved in the match - don't be asking. It's about two things Cameron Graham inserting himself in the match. The match self. Don't care about Cameron Grimes. What you like the Mad Hatter next weird Okay micro number three, but a minute put her in the group. That's just good. I mean like you said everyone can work in this company pretty much especially on NXT roster. So you're not going to get bad man. If you get a bad batch of the something to talk about really, you know, but I'm just not sold on Cameron Grimes of this point. Like I haven't been from the beginning. I don't like the Emic, I don't know maybe I'm missing something here. But do I give me from the big city? I understand. Yeah, right. Yeah, cause she never turns after being hurt by Walter interests of emperium. Yeah. His first run was okay caught in the middle of road. Is there any room left for Kristina really become a star and x t yeah, I mean, I think that there's two yeah- Jim over here. I'm not on Think that there is always room for improvement. But I think this you know here you're you're showing this it's a good mix of a good match of athleticism. And but again, I would love to know the the ideology behind why they matched Grimes up with kushida because it was an interesting like do interesting style. Yeah, and they're trying to put we talked about in the him trying to put over. And create those storylines, but I don't know how effective how effective it was. Yeah, so I was thinking something like what you're looking for. Oh my gosh when Finn Balor came out, I like screamed. Oh my gosh, and then they have that fantastic moment where Keithley is just behind Balor and he just like Rises behind the ropes and I was like you guys watch and it was an incredible moment. I even taught I think I turned to you and said, oh, they're not using keighley like in the beginning of the National Electric Code that they're not using him. So I think they're going to use them for the end of the match for a big moment and then it happens. So I think it's incredible. I think they're leading up to that December 18th and XT and it's going to be interesting to see who gets it G I think it's going to be Keithley. So that's that's me that's just stuff and we were talking about it and it you know, I sent my called this, you know, we were talking out there as you know, so I was thinking well because this is a triple threat that was going to be Balor versus Lee versus Cole, right? I didn't see I mean I Champa a D&C league in thrown in that mix, you know, so I'm so happy did he did which is cool. Yeah, very cool. But I almost think it Just be you know for man match where we just go pay-per-view with it. You know, I think that right cool but again even in this situation like where do we go? Who do we give it to you? I mean everybody isn't the right plate like Chiapas good you got you got freakin Ballard, you know, what was he going? What's he doing? And what would happen with him? If he doesn't go for it, you know that you know him so I mean and then leaves on his frickin high right now. So I mean, what are we go? Yeah and Tom I had fantastic moments in this. Yes tonight where I was like, oh man, he could take it to yeah. Absolutely. This is simple Later on. I met right on dollar. You can't have keighley my boy Dominic joke of it. He got it right together. I feel like they're promoting them you're introducing them to ourselves, but it's not their time yet. Champa just came back from the serious injury. Give him some time to work off the ring rust and all Finn Balor supposed to be this brand. I don't care what you say about Adam clatter close a placeholder because Johnny Gargano couldn't get it done. Let's face it. So that's harsh. This is now the time you bring over Finn Balor to this roster. That's a main event player on Raw and SmackDown. You better hand him that title and this is his opportunity as you put Kuechly there. There's no way in hell you're going to make me believe you can't even make to she does kid believe that keighley won't will lose took Adam Cole. Well, here's like that. Don't want bigger than him. They would squash Adam called Bella loses though. I don't think it's going to be clean pin on Balor. I don't think there's no exactly something there that's going to happen where it's like not reason they don't agree with you. I think I think Balor is if sorry, I got you all think balor's the future you but you got to finish up to Moscow campus story first. You'll have to accept an incredible story. So I think he's gonna win cool. I think Chad I can see that. Because why would you have to jump over there? It's yeah, totally I Want You Back goalie has been having such strong matches and such strong moments that you have to put them in you like I could see that too. I'm sorry placeholder that it's like you're using Champa just to move on a storyline and you're disposing of a piece too. Good to be just used to move movement actually all the time. I know but I still think he's got ring rust man. The guys had a serious neck injury can't just throw him into like I mean Cole can go no matter what we're saying about him. He can go and array. I don't know if Champa can run like that. And right now at this point coming off an injury, I think it's too much too fast. Let him ease into it Finn balor's time right now. I mean, you can't there's no point of waiting around for Finn Balor take that title have him start at Ron and really become a face of that brand and then it's going to go it's got to be either better or Champa. One of the two can be deadly though Lee not. Yeah. I mean, he's on a great run right now and I think it's just going to keep building. But yeah, I think it's too early. Yeah. I also think that one of the benefits of NXT is because they have the weekly show at Full Sail, you know. We wrestle every week right you can do you really become the champ and we're also like once a month or even are our main brand Champions. I mean Brock Lesnar rustles what whenever he feels like it. I know that was the last match of the evening, but I know we have two minutes left. I want to talk about the promos of other stars are featured in tonight's episode of NXT. But before we get to that NXT year-end Awards nominations are open now since we're as one of all time best match or best how I rescued you. Can I make the Djokovic my boys? Also catches don't know got one. Angel Garza has a lie, Isaiah. Swerve Scott Finn Balor tell me about this about nxt's like challenge of having quality shows on Wednesday night and trying to build up of their talents are not on drugs and are they doing it right for the whole FPS brand or is it kind of like Hokey or kind of a throwback? Like what do you know? You need to promise? That's one thing this brand has been always lacking you never so I know they had an hour show, but they didn't ever really feature Pro most you get a quick behind. The backstage, you know little Simon was like a faction or group. You never had or like a quick. Oh coming out of the locker room thing, right? We can't think Ali running up there. Right? I want legitimate promos. We need those regem problems now to time you're building a brand. We need to see individual Talent step out one thing and XTS. Like it's got too many factions and too many groups and too many, you know, I mean like together bunched up. Let's see some solo players come out of this in every sense and promos are the first way of getting in there. I agree. It's hard not to cut you off, but I just Hot take on this one. I really agree with you. I think they need that and that ties into what they've done in the past and and I will say this right now that I think this is the newest version of WWE's best attempt of recreating the Attitude Era because if you look at I mean, let's lay it out you got those sleazy story lines. We saw in the past like with Lana and Rusev now, that's that's definitely a replay. That's where you play. We have the stone cold stunner being used now with Owens. We have everybody doing the superkick now Becky Lynch me. In book like stone cold, right exactly. I mean when you think about it like we got the razor's Edge being used now. I mean every mu every everything is literally being reap what's old is new what's old exactly is new and you have even with any yeah, even with an exceeds almost like DX which they've literally had DX. Do you know, so it's I think the new version of The Attitude Era promos work though. Absolutely because I was a big part of the Attitude Era so hot take on the promos the Balor promo was my favorite tonight. Yeah. I think it was that Old school like just in your face like really artsy fartsy promo. And I think they're gonna this is gonna be interesting. I mean it's a different take on it. And and I think if they do more of that and developing the that style, I think it's gonna do well for the to our shows on Wednesdays agree. Yeah. I like the fact that specifically in Isaiah's words promo. He actually put his chance in there. Yes, what are those? So now when I see him it's like, okay. I'm buying on brand there. I love the fact that sperm is there but doesn't matter with some talents like Cameron Grimes in your case and the some they're building up here.

("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.
