WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.759 Welcome to the NXT Podcast, your home for weekly NXT 2 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:12.119 reviews and insights. 3 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.079 The beautiful part of NXT is that when one dream ends, 4 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.320 another dream begins. 5 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:23.160 Find all of your NXT news, recaps and analysis right here. 6 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.239 So with that being said, we only have one question 7 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:35.679 for you. Ah we thought, so let's get the show 8 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:36.679 started right now. 9 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.000 Hey guys, it's Jay about about you give you some 10 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.320 news and information on NXT for my NXT review this week. Yeah, 11 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.840 it was. It's been a crazy week with the Royal 12 00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.880 Rumble being around and and before I get into the show, 13 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.959 I just wanted to say that the NXT brand really 14 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.359 did represent this year in the royld Rumble. In the 15 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.480 last few years, we've had NXT call up you know, 16 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.239 not call ups per se, but like NXT wrestlers and 17 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.359 for both men and women make make an appearance in 18 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.400 the Royal Rumble, which is great, but for the women's 19 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:34.760 Royal Rumble alone, if you count Jordan Grace, which as 20 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.680 of so we know that Jordan Grace has signed a 21 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.359 WWE contract. We don't know if she's going to be 22 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.239 an n X t or the main roster, but let's 23 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.920 let's pretend that she's in NXT for now, because the 24 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.519 last time we saw her in WWE before the Rumble 25 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.519 was in the in n XT. So so we're gonna 26 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.719 count Jordan Grace for now in the as an NXT 27 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:02.519 wrestler until we've proven otherwise Jordan Grace. So, including Jordan Grace, 28 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:09.599 we had six, for my count, six NXT women wrestlers 29 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.960 in the World Rumble. Now think about that for a second. 30 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.879 That is one fifth of the entire Rumble. That is 31 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.719 one fifth of the entire Royal Rumble roster, like the 32 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:34.039 World Rubble White count. That is huge. And if that 33 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.680 doesn't tell you what I've been saying all along for 34 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.039 months now. I started this back and I think September 35 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.639 starting to do the NX tier. So we're talking we're 36 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.560 rolling on five months, right, and I've been talking up 37 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.000 not that I need to, but I've been talking up 38 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:57.280 the NXT Women's division the entire time. And if that, if, 39 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.240 if that is a confirmation of what I've been saying 40 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.879 this entire time, I don't know what is m Out 41 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.240 of thirty people, six were from NXT. If you count 42 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.520 Jordan Grace, that's big. And for those of you that 43 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.800 don't know who they were, we had Roxanne, came out 44 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.360 at number three and ended up being the runner up 45 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.400 to Charlotte Flair, the eventual winner, which to me was amazing. 46 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.439 So we had Roxanne. We had Julia being the NXT 47 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:39.240 Women's champion, Julia, Matt Julia, not Gulia Julia. Um. It 48 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.360 reminds me of the wedding singer if anybody knows what 49 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.000 that reference means. Um. So we had Julia the women's champion. 50 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.479 We had Stephanie Va Kiir, who to me is head 51 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.439 and shoulders above everybody. That's just my personal opinion. So 52 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.919 we have Julia, stephanieva Kier. We have last Legend, who 53 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.400 I was sort of surprised to see, but not really 54 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.639 not one hundred percent surprised, because she has been making 55 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:12.120 making waves and like even my father was just like, wow, 56 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.719 she's she's amazing. It's like the woman, the woman's great. 57 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.839 And then there's there's so many opportunities for last legend 58 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.879 in the main roster to go against, like I mean, 59 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.240 just think about it, like Naya Jacks and Becky and 60 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.199 just like when eventually when Becky does come back, which 61 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.720 we all assume she's going to sorry Matt, but she's 62 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.959 she's going to come back. So anyway, last legend, and 63 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.639 then we had Jada Parker, who that to me, was 64 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:43.639 the biggest surprise, didn't have a big impact. Jordan Grace 65 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.800 did to make fun of her a little bit. She's 66 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.480 not a big impact, but that shows me. And again, 67 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.000 there was a ton of people they could have chose from, 68 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.800 a ton of women they could have chose from for that, 69 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.360 for that rumbo, and it shows me that they really 70 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.959 like Jada Parker, which you know, could I mean, it 71 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.879 could have been Lola, could have been so Rouke, It 72 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.040 could have been lots of people. But I like Jada 73 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.879 and I'm glad that she got the opportunity for the rumble, 74 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.639 just to have some eyes. And I have to tell you, 75 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.439 out of seventy thousand people at Lucas Oil Stadium, most 76 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:27.439 of them seemed to know the NXT wrestlers. So I 77 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.360 thought that was really cool too. Even Jada got a 78 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.120 bit of a pop, which I you know, and I 79 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.680 think out of all of them, Jada is probably the 80 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.240 least known. Maybe that's my own personal opinion, it's not fact. 81 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.600 And uh yeah, so she so they all got a 82 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.879 big pop. Now, obviously, to me, the biggest pop of 83 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.560 the night was Alexa Bliss, but that's just an aside. 84 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.480 But I'm really happy that the women of NXT were 85 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.079 very well represented and it just goes to show you 86 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:05.240 the main roster needs call ups from NXT. And I know, 87 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.720 you know Matt Matt's response when I had to question 88 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.319 one time on his mail bike show, his response was, 89 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.519 what are they gonna do with them? Well, the thing 90 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.800 is is that right now they're not doing with They're 91 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.439 not doing some stuff with the people that are there. 92 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.360 So but it was overall, it was a great rumble. 93 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.160 It wasn't as to me, last year was better for 94 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.199 the women. But I love the NXT, all the NXT 95 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:36.600 call ups and I'm really you know, it's it's awesome 96 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.920 to see that being represented. So on the men's side, 97 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.240 there wasn't any NXT call ups from the men unless 98 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.240 again this is this is even more of a stretch. 99 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.720 Obviously we had Joe Hendry, which obviously I have to 100 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.519 I have to give a shout out to Joe Hendry 101 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.959 because he he got a huge pop. Again, not the 102 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.480 biggest of the night, but it was nice to hear 103 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.720 about half of the seventy thousand people they were singing 104 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:07.079 his song. There's a lot of videos on YouTube, not YouTube, 105 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.839 but like TikTok and and Facebook reels and Instagram reels 106 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.519 of people reacting to when Joe Henry Joe Hendry came out, 107 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.199 either either at Lucas Oil they were reacting or like 108 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.439 at home they were reacting. When I show this one 109 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.399 TikTok video of I think it was TikTok of this 110 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.120 kid like their father goes such to sing the song 111 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.720 on right before and then and then the buzzer hits, 112 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.279 and then Joe Hendry comes out, and the kid starts 113 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:35.920 flipping out and he goes, look at I said his name. 114 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.240 He came out. Awesome, Joe Hendry. Listen. Is Joe Henry 115 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.759 as popular as he was earlier in twenty twenty four? 116 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.000 Probably not that death. Does that mean he's he couldn't 117 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.639 be used properly in the future, of course it does. 118 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.560 TNA Block dropped the ball on Joe Hendry. They should 119 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.040 have had him on the title long, you know, longer 120 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.319 before he did. I found it very interesting that they 121 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.360 mentioned Nick Nemeth, that he won the title from Nick Nemeth, 122 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.360 who for the most I assume most of you know 123 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.639 Nick Nemeath was like Dolph Zeguay for fifteen years in WWE, 124 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.079 but they uses his actual name, Nick Nemath and not 125 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:24.480 and not Dolp Seguay, which I found fascinating. So anyway, 126 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.399 to me, there was a lot of good representation there 127 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:31.399 from from TNA NXT or was it called nxtn A. 128 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.440 They're calling it NXT and A, which I have to 129 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.000 tell you, there's been a lot like ever since the 130 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.360 deal hit with TNA and WWE, there seems to be 131 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.039 a lot more crossover, uh not not just see and 132 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.919 I think I've told you guys, I don't have the 133 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.240 Access channel, so I can't watch Impact on Thursdays. I 134 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.440 may or may not just have to suck it up 135 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.320 and get the TNA because there's so many NXT players 136 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.720 in TNA now, like Crossing and vice versa, which we 137 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:09.559 saw with Friendango Slash the Guy, which I'll talk about later. Yeah, 138 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.840 it's it's it's fun. It's really fun. The whole NXT 139 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:19.639 NXTNA thing has really been fun. So anyway, let's talk 140 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.360 about the show. On Tuesday, we had the February fourth 141 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:28.279 edition of NXT came from the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. 142 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.519 It followed the Royal Rumble, so there was some mentions 143 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.360 of the Royal Rumble obviously because again there was essentially 144 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:46.320 six women from NXT that we're in the Rumble. Okay, 145 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.960 so we had first we had. The first match of 146 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.320 the night was Stephanie the care versus Jacy Jay. I 147 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.960 have to tell you this one. This match was a 148 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.039 lot better than I thought it would be. Jacy Jane 149 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.399 really held her own against Stephanie. Stephanie made her look 150 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.360 good too. I'm not gonna you know, obviously we gotta 151 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.360 give credit for credits due this was a really decent match, 152 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.320 and of course at the end Stephanie won and then 153 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:19.600 you know she there was some attempted interference by Jasmine 154 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:28.080 Nicks who attempted to hit Stephanie but then hit hit 155 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.720 Jacy Jane by accident and so there wasn't a qualification. 156 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:38.799 Then Stephanie hit hit uh Jasmine Knicks still know the qualification. 157 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:45.600 Then Stephanie got the win with her finishing move. So yeah, 158 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.320 it was it was I I'll tell you it was 159 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:53.320 definitely a good match. I really enjoyed it. Then there 160 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.600 was a backstage segment with last Legend in Jakara. They're 161 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:04.600 confronted by Soul Rouken Zari backstage and so which those 162 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.679 those two are the weirdest combination to me, and they 163 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.639 mentioned it. I mean it's the two of them are 164 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:16.559 just so opposite it's even funny. So Rokens Zakaria they 165 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.799 point out that they lost the tag Team Championship last 166 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:26.360 week and they lost uh you know, and sorry last 167 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.000 lost the Royal Rumble and then shot See and Taytam 168 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:34.320 Paxey and Gesu doing come out to you know, kind 169 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.759 of stick up for metaphor and they kind of it 170 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.799 led to a match later on. So the next we 171 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.600 had a backstage interview with Oba Femi. He was giving 172 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.639 a glimpse of the tag team match that they're having 173 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.600 later on with him and Chuck Williams versus A Town 174 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.039 down Under and and and Oba says, even though they 175 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:55.799 were gonna be in the ring together that Fema is 176 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:57.960 hoping to prove that he is the head and shoulders 177 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:03.320 above his competition. So then we have Lexus King. I 178 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:04.639 am kind of kind I know, I'm kind of going 179 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.519 pre you fast today, but I apologize, but it's been 180 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:10.600 a long day and snowing up in the Northeast, so 181 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.039 I have a lot to do. I apologize. So then 182 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:21.799 we have Lexus King talking about uh so, all of 183 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.919 a sudden he wins the Heritage Cup after saying he's 184 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.000 trying to do the right thing for months at this point, 185 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.159 and now all of a sudden he comes out and 186 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.720 he's total heel again, like total heel which was And 187 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.799 then Any starts talking about the Heritage Cup and how 188 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.799 he's changing the rules and there's not going to be 189 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:48.759 anymore anymore rounds and anymore timers and no corner man. 190 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.039 It's just gonna be straight out mass. So basically we're 191 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.600 saying the Heritage Cup is just a regular title. Now 192 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.919 I guess not to see how that plays out, which 193 00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:00.240 the whole I mean, listen, I'm not big on Hatch 194 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:04.799 Cup matches, but you do do the way it's supposed 195 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.919 to be done anyway, So now he wants to be 196 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:15.440 on a one fall role. Then then we have Fandango 197 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.919 Fandango who now calls himself j d C in TNA, 198 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.279 so he's down. He wasn't Fandango a few years ago 199 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:28.480 on n XT he was Fandango. Now he is Johnny Dango. 200 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:36.080 Curtis in TNA and he then challenges Lexus King uh 201 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.320 next week on February eleventh for the Heritage Cup. So 202 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.200 next week we're gonna have a match between UH J 203 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.840 d C from TNA and and Lexis King. So we'll 204 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:53.240 see how that goes. Now, we just don't know. It's 205 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.600 gonna be one faller Herodage Cup rules, so that'll be interesting. 206 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.480 Then we have a bit they're talking about a show 207 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.240 called wild Cards on I've never seen it before. I'm 208 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:10.759 the CW and Tony D'Angelo has a role UH named 209 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:15.120 Jaws in an episode coming up. So they they showed 210 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:22.759 a little clip of that and the family is watching backstage, 211 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.600 you know. They after the after they show the clip, 212 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.360 they come back. The family is all watching it backstage. 213 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.799 D'Angelo says to Stax to pick up the fight, pick 214 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.519 up the win against Rich Holland because he and Rich 215 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.600 have a night have a match coming up next. So 216 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.200 we have Stax versus Rich Holland. It's a very quick match. 217 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.600 Holland pretty much dominated the whole match. Is he Dane 218 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.039 tried to come out and get involved again like she 219 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:54.120 did last week. This time it backfired and eventually Holland 220 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.200 took up to pick up the win. So rich Holand 221 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:02.080 wins against stax Uh. Then we had the next match 222 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:07.639 after that was so Rooker and Zaria versus Tatum Paxley 223 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.159 and GZ Dolan. This was as this was as a 224 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:19.320 result of the interaction backstage, Paxley and Dolan get like 225 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.799 they work really well together. I've also knows Jes Dolans 226 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.600 seems thinner, which like healthier, Like it's a good thing. 227 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.320 I'm glad. I'm glad she's she's getting herself in shape. 228 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.960 And I'm not saying that I'm not saying she was 229 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.600 ever like a bigger woman, but you know, she looks 230 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.519 she looks better. Like overall, they spent a lot of time, 231 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.360 So Paxley and Dolan spent a lot of time kind 232 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:51.360 of isolating sol Ruka and Zaria. So Ruka from Zaria 233 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.759 and for most of the match, but eventually Zaria gets 234 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.639 in and just to do Zaria things, she like just 235 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:02.919 starts beating the crap out of everybody, and eventually sol 236 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.360 Ruka hits the the cutter that she has that she does. 237 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.679 I forgot the name of it, which is amazing, which 238 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.720 is an amazing it's a backflip cutter that she does 239 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:20.000 off the corner soul Snatcher right, soul Snatcher and thank 240 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:24.639 you for that, and uh and then and then Zaria 241 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:29.720 and and uh soul Ruka get the win. So it 242 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.279 was it was a good match. I like to really 243 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.039 like that match too. Again, some women's match, so generally 244 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.399 pretty good. Then we have a backstage interview with Trick 245 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.759 and he he's clearly upset about not being involved in 246 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:43.240 the n XT Championship met through a triple threat match 247 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.399 which is coming up at Vengeance Day on the fifteenth 248 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:51.840 of February. He had some colorful words for Atown down 249 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.679 Under and for Femi. He promises that he will be 250 00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:01.480 coming for him soon enough, so don't forget. We have 251 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.480 the main event to tag team match between Trick and 252 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:10.640 Oba versus Atown down Under case I failed to mention that. Uh. 253 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.640 Then we have the NXT Championship Vengeance Day summit to 254 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.519 their billion as. First Bailey comes out, followed by Roxanne, 255 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.640 and then Julia comes and they have a verbal war 256 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.240 and Julia said she's heard enough. She comes out to 257 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.000 let them know that she runs the whole thing. Enter 258 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.039 Enter the twenty twenty five Women's Well rumble Womer so 259 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.720 you got so now you have in the ring, You've 260 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.559 got you know, Charlotte jumped the gun. In the ring 261 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.039 you have Bailey, Julia and Roxanne. And then Charlotte comes 262 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.799 out not as dressed as the Queen per se, but 263 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:50.200 you know, just a regular attire. And she said, just 264 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:52.359 as she did on the February third edition of Raw, 265 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.680 she lets to know that she could be get she 266 00:17:54.759 --> 00:18:01.920 could be challenging for this title too. Now, the last 267 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.960 time she won the Rumble, she challenged Rhea Ripley, who 268 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.319 was at the time the NXT champion. Do I think 269 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.839 that this is a possibility that this time that she's 270 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.599 gonna challenge Julia or whoever is the champion in WrestleMania 271 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.079 for the title. No, no, I don't. For a couple 272 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.759 of reasons. Number one, I think she's I think Charlotte's 273 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.359 going against Tiffany, I don't. I mean so, during the 274 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:29.440 Royal Rumble on Saturday night, me and a bunch of 275 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.200 the guys and if you're and if you're around guys 276 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.480 and gals, we had a really it was read a 277 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.119 really good time with the Discord Chat that night. Eventually 278 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.079 I had to put the Discord Chat down because the 279 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.599 discord Chat was jumping ahead of the Royal Rumble, and 280 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.119 so I was seeing the discord Chat who was coming 281 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.519 out before the buzzer went off. So I just I 282 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.480 didn't want the surprise to be ruined, even though it 283 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.599 was only a couple of seconds. But I was trying 284 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.880 to explain once Charlotte won the rumble, I was trying 285 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.640 to explain everybody in discord Chat, Charlotte's going against Tiffany. 286 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.480 I think Matt has said the same thing. Charlotte's going 287 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.759 against Tiffany, and if he doesn't listen, if she doesn't, 288 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:16.119 I am prove it wrong. I take no bets. I'm 289 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.319 not a betting person, but I prove I'm proven it wrong. 290 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.400 But I'm I can't see her going against Riha again 291 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:26.759 unless they try to build up the whole like best 292 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.160 of three now, which I to me like, to me, 293 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.119 the best of three, like it's not like it wasn't 294 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:35.440 like seampunkin and Drew McIntyre last year. Like to me, 295 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.759 best of three is like it's like month by month 296 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.680 by month, like this is like years ago, then two 297 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:46.039 years ago, and then and then now. It's like that 298 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.400 seems way too much space to call it a best 299 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.519 of three. To be honest, I feel like Charlotte's gonna 300 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.599 goainst Tiffany. I feel like Tiffany is gonna win. I 301 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.680 feel like Charlotte is gonna put Tiffany over. I don't 302 00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:58.400 know for a fact that that's gonna happen, but I 303 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:03.480 think that would be awesome. And you all don't You 304 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.480 all know how much I think Tiffany's the best. So 305 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.319 that's just a home me thing anyway. So then Corey 306 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.759 Jade comes in and she's she starts just beating a 307 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:22.480 crap out of everybody with a kendo stick, including she 308 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.680 went after roxanm too. So that's that friendship looks kind 309 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.880 of broken a bit apparently. And he wouldn't try to 310 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.720 hit one of your best friends with the kendo stick, 311 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.160 I'm guessing. But at the end of the the end 312 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.240 of the segment, and it ends with Jade holding up 313 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:43.119 the NXT Women's Championship, so we'll see how that goes. Next, 314 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.720 we have Ethan Page and Javan Evans backstage and Ava 315 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.119 with four security guards. He's trying to facilitate a talk 316 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:54.440 between Ethan Page and Javan Evans, although Juan's still wired shut, 317 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:56.720 which it's been a long time now, but I don't 318 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:01.160 I don't know how that goes. General manager knows that 319 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:06.519 she wanted to suspend Yvon Evans, but Paige insisted on 320 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:09.319 having a match instead, and Aba agrees to the match 321 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.559 at Vengeance Day, but only if Evans can get only 322 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.279 Von Evans can get medically cleared. So see what happens. 323 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:25.480 Next match is Colonnie Jordan versus Carmen Petrovich. As the 324 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.400 match goes on, Jada Parker comes out, makes her presence felt, 325 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.640 and she actually joins the commentary team, although she sat 326 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:35.599 in front of the commentary booth like she wasn't sitting 327 00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.319 with them. She sat in front of them with the 328 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.839 headset on. Anyway, Klonnie, Jordan and Carmen are able to 329 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.920 focus on each other until Parker pokes at Jordan a 330 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.079 little bit more like not not actually poke, but like 331 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.240 you know, she's like jabbing, you know, like giving her jabs. Eventually, 332 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:58.319 Jordan h picks up the submission victory. So what happened 333 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:04.279 was coloniey Jordans starts like poking back at Jada hits 334 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.319 two spilt legged moon salts and could it could have 335 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.119 easily pinned Karmen Petrovitch, but ends up putting her in 336 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:15.000 a cross faced chicken wing era Bob Becklan like that 337 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.680 kind of cross faced chicken wing. It gets and gets 338 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.759 the submission win, but then she continues to do it 339 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.599 to Carmen Petrovitch and the referee then reverses the decision, 340 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:29.160 and I think it's stupid by the way, the referee 341 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.359 reversed his decision and gave the match, gave the match 342 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.799 by desqualification to Karen Petrovitch, which I don't understand how 343 00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.160 the ref can do that. Maybe it's just me, but 344 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.559 the match is over. Like if that's the case, then 345 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.880 you'd have people being disqualified all the time for after 346 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.880 match Snanigan. It's like, it doesn't make any sense. That's 347 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:53.960 just my own personal opinion. Though later on we got 348 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.039 uh Stephanie Occurr in the parking lot being interviewed by 349 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:01.440 her upcoming about her upcoming match at Vengeance Day. Excuse me. 350 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.960 She sends them warning to fallon Henley and the rest 351 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:10.839 of fatal influence and they don't so okay, as this 352 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.160 is this was interesting. I love the way they do 353 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.240 these things. By the way, like I just have to 354 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:19.599 explain this. So Stephanie is doing an interview and the interviewer, 355 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:24.880 I'm guessing it's I hope it doesn't matter. The interviewer 356 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.160 is like off cameras, so you don't actually see somebody 357 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:29.319 talking to her. She's just talking kind of off camera. 358 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.640 As she's talking about her match at Vengeance Day against 359 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.079 Fallen Henley. You see on the left side of her, 360 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.039 you see Lola Ice just walking by, and it's just 361 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.079 enough to notice her. By the way. They're doing this 362 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.920 a lot more on Ron SmackDown having background people in 363 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.839 during interviews in the backstage area, but they but this 364 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.160 this was interesting. So yeah, Lolavice comes by and just 365 00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.759 kind of they kind of like glance at each other 366 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.079 but don't say anything like and Lola doesn't even stop 367 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.880 saying it, just walks by. So that'll be Lola of 368 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:07.960 Ice and Stephanie. That will be a great interaction. Again. 369 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:10.279 I still think they're ending up with Julie and Stephanie 370 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.799 stand and Deliver in April, but we have some time 371 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:21.200 for that. Okay. Backstage, Bailey says she wants courage aide 372 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.839 in a match, so that's gonna happen on the February 373 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:29.279 eleventh NXT episode. So next week Bailey will be facing 374 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.000 Courage Aide and that should be really good. Last match 375 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:35.279 of the night is Oba Femi and Trick Williams versus 376 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:41.079 A Town down Under, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. This 377 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.480 was a really good match. Obviously there was a lot 378 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:49.400 of tension between Chick and Oba, but Atown down Under 379 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.720 is just so damn entertaining, Like when they're in their element. 380 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:54.759 I think I think they're kind of thriving a bit 381 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.680 more because they can be more themselves at NXT, whereas 382 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:02.160 the main roster there's just so much going on. But 383 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.599 A Town down Under was great and at the end 384 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.599 of the match. So at the end of the match, 385 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.079 Eddie Thorpe came out and Uh dis dished out some 386 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.440 lashings with a leather strap on Trick Williams again with 387 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.480 the referee turn and then A Town down Under gets 388 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.559 the win as a result. A Town down Under then 389 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.119 fled the ring with Femi uh separately, who wasn't really 390 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.519 concerned about Williams, and then we had at the end 391 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:40.480 of that, we had Eddie Thorpe beating the crap out 392 00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.279 of Trick Williams with a strap so obviously they seem 393 00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:48.079 to be going towards a strap match between Eddie and 394 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.599 Trick Williams at some point, So the question is we 395 00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.599 will be a standard strap match like they had last 396 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:59.680 year with CM punk and Drew mcintyree had to touch 397 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.119 the four corners, or will be just I'm strapped to 398 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:03.960 you and it's a match and we're gonna play each 399 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.200 other and then the standard match. So well have to 400 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.400 see how that goes. But overall, I thought it was 401 00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:14.480
