Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Welcome to this week's NXT review. This is
Speaker 1: Jay here on the WWE podcast Network. I am coming
Speaker 1: to you from my living room today. Normally I actually
Speaker 1: record these in my car, but I decided today that
Speaker 1: I just felt like relaxing in my living room and
Speaker 1: recording this podcast. I am going to be reviewing the
Speaker 1: episode for NXT that was on October tenth and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, I'm sorry, October eighth, twenty twenty four, and
Speaker 1: it was from the factory in Saint Louis, Missouri. So
Speaker 1: interesting actually, So I watched one in I RAW on Monday,
Speaker 1: which was from Saint Louis, and then I watched an
Speaker 1: XT and I just originally thought that the NXT episode
Speaker 1: would be from the same arena as uh, excuse me
Speaker 1: as the RAW episode, and then when I when they
Speaker 1: came on for the episode, it was obviously not. It
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a of a TNA feel
Speaker 1: if you've watched, ever watched a TNA wrestling event, it
Speaker 1: had a little bit of that feel, that vibe that
Speaker 1: the whole thing with the people sitting on the ramp
Speaker 1: on either side of the ramp as people would as
Speaker 1: the wrestlers would walk out from the backstage area was weird.
Speaker 1: It was really weird like and then they were look
Speaker 1: like they were, if I remember correctly, kind of like
Speaker 1: they were facing in towards each other, so like when
Speaker 1: they wanted to watch the wrestling matches, they had to turn.
Speaker 1: I don't know, the whole the whole thing, the whole
Speaker 1: thing with them being on the ramp was weird, but
Speaker 1: the venue was really cool. Actually reminds so I'm from
Speaker 1: the Hudson Valley area and back when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: we used to go watch wrestling events at the Mid
Speaker 1: Hudson the Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, and they used to
Speaker 1: do money net ross from there too. And the funny
Speaker 1: thing is I'm trying, I'm gonna try to describe as
Speaker 1: best I can. So basically, it's an auditorium. There's a
Speaker 1: stage on one side, there's just a square I guess
Speaker 1: floor in the middle, and then seats that go up
Speaker 1: just on one side. So there's walls on either side
Speaker 1: of the floor, and then the backside of it has
Speaker 1: has like you know, seats that go that go up
Speaker 1: and and it's funny because they but when they would
Speaker 1: tape Monday Night Raw this, and I say tape because
Speaker 1: it was taped back then they would put the camera
Speaker 1: on the stage facing the seats, so it looked the
Speaker 1: Civic Center looked like a lot bigger than it was.
Speaker 1: And I kind of got that feel from, you know,
Speaker 1: not exactly, but I kind of got that general feel
Speaker 1: from from this arena arena. It was a small facility.
Speaker 1: But I have to tell you this is why it worked.
Speaker 1: Last week they were in Chicago, they did this huge
Speaker 1: arena event, place was packed, people went crazy. This week
Speaker 1: they did it in a smaller venue, now not as
Speaker 1: small as the Performance Center where they have usually do
Speaker 1: NXT shows, but it was kind of in between, in
Speaker 1: between the arena and the Performance Center, and so it
Speaker 1: seemed like their goal. I'm wondering. It seems like the
Speaker 1: goal was they're stepping down, starting in the arena in Chicago,
Speaker 1: the All State Arena the first week, the Factory in
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, which was obviously not the big arena in
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, and then now stepping down. Next week they're
Speaker 1: gonna be back at the Performance Center, I'm assuming, because
Speaker 1: they haven't made any announcement otherwise, so it seems like
Speaker 1: now they're stepping down to the performance center, which you know,
Speaker 1: for somebody who hasn't watched NXT before it was on
Speaker 1: the CW, you know, they're kind of fading it down,
Speaker 1: which makes sense for those of us that have been
Speaker 1: watching NXT for for a better part of a few
Speaker 1: years or however long you've been watching it, you're just
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, now they're back at the performance center.
Speaker 1: So I thought that was a really interesting concept. The
Speaker 1: episode of NXT from last night was not nearly as
Speaker 1: to me, for me personally, it was not nearly as
Speaker 1: good as the one from last week. But the one
Speaker 1: from last week was like that was like the first
Speaker 1: one on the CW. We're running out of the gate.
Speaker 1: We're punching you in the face with the best stuff
Speaker 1: we have, and they did and it worked this week.
Speaker 1: It was by halfway between last week and what it
Speaker 1: usually is. I will say that, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: go through the matches and the backstage, the backstage stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna kind of give you my opinion on
Speaker 1: some stuff. Some stuff was great and some stuff. So
Speaker 1: this way on this morning, on my way to work,
Speaker 1: I was listening to Matt's Raw review, and a couple
Speaker 1: of things crossed over from the from RAW to NXT.
Speaker 1: So I'm so I always wanted to listen to see
Speaker 1: what his thoughts were on something. But I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: get this out of the way before I say anything
Speaker 1: else about the NXT show. Please stop a sexy red
Speaker 1: please it's it doesn't work. It doesn't work, and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to anyway. So they brought her in to quote
Speaker 1: sing one of her songs, which she did sing, but
Speaker 1: basically she did the same thing that when I turn
Speaker 1: on my radio and I sing to my radio, that
Speaker 1: I do like. She sang to a recording of herself
Speaker 1: singing her song what please Stop. And I've never been
Speaker 1: so happy. And now listen, I've said I think I've
Speaker 1: said to you before. I really like Ethan Page. I
Speaker 1: love his heel character. I think he's he's just great
Speaker 1: at it. But I've never been happier to see him
Speaker 1: walk out while she was quote singing her song and
Speaker 1: interrupting her. I know it was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: heel move. And I know they're trying, I mean, Matt
Speaker 1: said yesterday, they're trying to open up to a wider audience,
Speaker 1: and I get that, but like, find somebody else, Please,
Speaker 1: find somebody else. It doesn't work. She doesn't work, she's annoying.
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just because of my background. I don't
Speaker 1: really prefer that kind of music that she has that
Speaker 1: she does, but it doesn't work, and they need to
Speaker 1: This is not the first time they brought her in.
Speaker 1: They even felt they need to bring it a raw
Speaker 1: two days ago. Well at this at the time of
Speaker 1: recording would be two days ago. It just was not
Speaker 1: good and they need to stop. They just need to stop.
Speaker 1: Personal opinion. I understand that maybe some of you listen
Speaker 1: to it, you know, listen to this podcast, so like, no,
Speaker 1: it's wonderful, blah blah blah. I mean, please, if you
Speaker 1: think it was wonderful, justify it to me in the comments,
Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't see. I can't see how
Speaker 1: it was anything but just god awful. And I know
Speaker 1: that's extreme, but that's the way I feel. Okay, So
Speaker 1: the show opens up with a package recalling what happened
Speaker 1: last week. I'm not gonna go through it because I
Speaker 1: went through it for an out half an hour last week,
Speaker 1: but the two highlights were Trick Williams obviously winning the
Speaker 1: NXT title from Ethan Page. And they touched on this
Speaker 1: last not last night, but two days ago on Raw
Speaker 1: about how see him punk quote cost Ethan Page the title.
Speaker 1: If anybody saw it, you realized that didn't happen. He
Speaker 1: attacked him after the match, Well, they attacked each other
Speaker 1: after the match. But I was kind of to be honest,
Speaker 1: and I actually said this in the comments of one
Speaker 1: of Matt's recordings recently about you know, they don't have
Speaker 1: anything for punk to do. And he obviously came out
Speaker 1: on Raw, you know, beaten and battered from the hell
Speaker 1: in the cell match, which wow. And I'm still like,
Speaker 1: I know this is not a main show review, but
Speaker 1: that bump that Drew McIntyre took where he went for
Speaker 1: the claymore and knocked and hit his back on the
Speaker 1: corner of the stairs, Like to this day, it just
Speaker 1: gives me like the willies just thinking about how much
Speaker 1: that had to hurt. Anyway, going back to my point,
Speaker 1: so Ciampunk for a while is not gonna have really
Speaker 1: a program with anybody, and I know that he had
Speaker 1: one point he did say that, So that's that he
Speaker 1: wanted to go for the world title and to be
Speaker 1: honest I had said that maybe he could do a
Speaker 1: mini program with Ethan Page. Doesn't even necessarily have to
Speaker 1: be an NXT but Ethan Page right now, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be in a triple threat match
Speaker 1: next week for the you know, to be the number
Speaker 1: one contender for Trick Williams title. Okay, fine, but he
Speaker 1: doesn't really have a program himself. So this whole NXT
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, the whole thing just seems
Speaker 1: to be one big reset. And it started out and
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the first segment, which was
Speaker 1: which was Trick Williams coming out and kind of doing
Speaker 1: a victory lap with the NXT title. And it's clear
Speaker 1: to me, it's clear. I think it's clear to pretty
Speaker 1: much everybody that Trick Williams is now the new the
Speaker 1: new face of NXT, and they're going to be marketing
Speaker 1: him first, which I think is great. I love Trick Williams.
Speaker 1: I honestly think I think he'll be in the main
Speaker 1: I think come the draft of twenty twenty five back,
Speaker 1: you know, I guess said in April or May or
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I think he's bound for the main roster.
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't get to the main roster, then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wonder why, to be honest, because he's he's
Speaker 1: got it all. He's got it all. He's got the personality,
Speaker 1: he's got the charisma, he's got the skills like he
Speaker 1: just he needs he's you know, let him cook a
Speaker 1: little bit with the title. I think you let him
Speaker 1: keep it till Stand and Deliver, which is the WrestleMania
Speaker 1: weekend at p l E. But let him let him cook,
Speaker 1: let him simmer, and then unleash him. Uh next next summer,
Speaker 1: just unleasham they like they did similarly with Carmelo Hayes
Speaker 1: and Brown Breaker this year. That's my own personal opinion.
Speaker 1: I think he's great. I think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: very smart. It's extremely smart that they are making him
Speaker 1: the face of NXT right now, and they made it.
Speaker 1: They did it in the fashion that they should have
Speaker 1: with making him win the title in the first episode,
Speaker 1: as as if NXT is saying to the CW world,
Speaker 1: here's our guy. This is the guy you need to
Speaker 1: look at. Oh yeah, we have out the other other
Speaker 1: people too, but this is the guy and he is
Speaker 1: the guy. So in the beginning of NX team, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about talk about the review in the dading and
Speaker 1: it was t Trick Williams opens up the show for
Speaker 1: a promo to address the NXT NXT Championship title win,
Speaker 1: and then as he's giving himself his props, rightfully so
Speaker 1: out comes Wesley. He's in the balcony of one of
Speaker 1: the sides of the arena. And again it's a small arena.
Speaker 1: So like if it was if this, if that was
Speaker 1: done the balcony of a big arena, like it would
Speaker 1: be he would be completely excrew, like crazy far away.
Speaker 1: But doing it in this little venue, he wasn't that
Speaker 1: far away from the range so they could talk to
Speaker 1: each other. They talked to each other. Trick Williams calls
Speaker 1: Wesley light skin, which okay, that's fine, and they uh
Speaker 1: and Wesley basically says, you know, I you you know
Speaker 1: you had a major win, so did I last week?
Speaker 1: I got rid of some extra weight, he said, he claims,
Speaker 1: and that he wants to go against Trick Williams for
Speaker 1: the title and uh, and Lee thinks that he's gonna
Speaker 1: leave him in the desk based like he said, like
Speaker 1: your partner did, which I'm assuming he means Carmelo Hayes
Speaker 1: and then they're both interrupted now now and again this
Speaker 1: is a main this is a main roster guy. But
Speaker 1: they're interrupted by jay Uso, main event. Jay Uso. He
Speaker 1: kind of he comes out of the crowd, which in
Speaker 1: this in this venue took a lot less time for
Speaker 1: him to get from the hallway to the ring because
Speaker 1: it was such a small such a small venue. And
Speaker 1: here's the thing, like jay Uso right now and then
Speaker 1: he did He's not like, yeah, he's got the Intercomental
Speaker 1: title and you know, it puts a lot of credible
Speaker 1: credibility on him. But he could have done exactly what
Speaker 1: he did last night in n XT without the title.
Speaker 1: He could have done exactly the same thing. All he did.
Speaker 1: All he did last night was come out congratulate Trick Williams.
Speaker 1: They went back and forth with whooped that trick and
Speaker 1: yeat and that was the end of it. He didn't
Speaker 1: really even do anything. He didn't say anything. It was
Speaker 1: just Hi, I'm jay Jusso, yeat, Hey, this guy's good.
Speaker 1: Whooped that trick? Back and forth bye, and that was
Speaker 1: the end of it. But he didn't have to like
Speaker 1: it was just it was like you know you kind
Speaker 1: of like like, oh wow, he like, I'm so happy
Speaker 1: to see him here. And that's the way I felt,
Speaker 1: and I could tell the crowd felt the same way.
Speaker 1: They were just happy to have jay Uso in the building.
Speaker 1: And it was it was a cool thing. Again, didn't
Speaker 1: do anything, but it was just he just was there.
Speaker 1: So anyway, that ended, and then we had the six
Speaker 1: woman tag team match, which pitted Bianca bell Air, Jade
Speaker 1: Carr Gill and Keanni Kilanni James versus Fatal Influence of
Speaker 1: Fallon Henley, j C Jane and Jasmine Nicks. And this
Speaker 1: was an okay match. There's a lot of of uh,
Speaker 1: what is it the the script of a Jade and
Speaker 1: Bianca match? Where Jade goes out there, kicks some butt
Speaker 1: for a while, gets her butt kicked for a while,
Speaker 1: hot tags, hot tags Jade to come in, and then
Speaker 1: Jade just beats the crap out everybody this time, though
Speaker 1: there were some there were some times where the three
Speaker 1: of them would and Colonie Jordan would join them and
Speaker 1: beating up everybody, and then at the end it was
Speaker 1: very cool. So at the end they did Brianka and
Speaker 1: Jade did their finisher. I don't know what it's called.
Speaker 1: I forgot what it's called. But then they allowed Colonie
Speaker 1: Jordan to do her split legged Moon Salt and pin
Speaker 1: Fatal Influence for the wind. So ultimately this helped push
Speaker 1: four people in the next day. It helped push the
Speaker 1: three members of Fatal Influence and extremely helped pushed, helped
Speaker 1: push Jordan, who, by the way, she's a North American
Speaker 1: champion right now, she doesn't really need a huge push.
Speaker 1: It was cool to have it, and maybe they're setting
Speaker 1: her up for in the future to go for the
Speaker 1: world title, which which right now is clogged with people,
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about. The NX Team Women's title is
Speaker 1: clogged with people in a good way. And I know
Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but I'll explain later. So anyway, bottom
Speaker 1: line is is that Jade, Bianca and Kloni got the
Speaker 1: win and it was just again, it's nice to see
Speaker 1: the main talent roster main talent roster people come down
Speaker 1: and do a little something. Later on in the show,
Speaker 1: there's actually an interaction between Jade and Bianca and metaphor
Speaker 1: lash Legend and I forgot the other person's name. It's
Speaker 1: your somewhere anyway, and they actually set up a match
Speaker 1: for the two of them Meta from Metaphor to go
Speaker 1: onto SmackDown. So this this Friday night on SmackDown, it'll
Speaker 1: be metaphor Or against Jade and Bianca for the tag
Speaker 1: team titles because basically, Beyanca's like, they want a tag
Speaker 1: team tunnel Matching back, He's like, well, we're not coming
Speaker 1: to you. You got to come to us. You have
Speaker 1: to come to smack Down, which I mean, you're there now.
Speaker 1: I don't understand, but whatever. If you hear Matt, he
Speaker 1: calls them the mean girls, and they it's what it
Speaker 1: kind of is. They're kind of like demean girls. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so after the match, backstage, we've got Randy Orton and
Speaker 1: Randy Orton and he sees Proxium, which is Nathan Fraser
Speaker 1: and Axiom, and they he asks them how fast Javon
Speaker 1: Evans is because in case, you know, in case you forgot,
Speaker 1: the main event that night was Randy Orton versus Javon Evans,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to you later about how that match went.
Speaker 1: And Axiom says, uh, oh, he's the fastest guy in NXT.
Speaker 1: And then Nathan Fraser's like, dude, I'm right here and
Speaker 1: he's like, he apologizes and uh and says and then
Speaker 1: uh and he says, I'm sorry for being a hot head.
Speaker 1: And Randy says, you don't have to feel started for
Speaker 1: being a hot head. You can be a hot head sometimes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: after that interaction, then we had Roxanne Perez come to
Speaker 1: the ring and to do a promo and she was
Speaker 1: bad mouthing the fans for hyping up Julia and thinking
Speaker 1: that she would win the title, but she did not.
Speaker 1: Then again Roxanne did get help. But when everyone props
Speaker 1: up another person to fight her, she she'll be drinking.
Speaker 1: I love this line. She'll be drinking the tears of
Speaker 1: all the fans when she retains. Again it's a great line.
Speaker 1: It was such a great line. But she but now
Speaker 1: she's like, now she says she won't be drinking alone anymore.
Speaker 1: Now she is going to have courage aide and that
Speaker 1: and then courage Aid comes out to do the promo
Speaker 1: with now courage aide. Coury j Aid looks great. She's
Speaker 1: extremely good looking. She looks the part, but her promo
Speaker 1: skills she needs work. Like Roxannis is choppy times at
Speaker 1: times doing the promos. But Kora j aide is very choppy,
Speaker 1: and I'd like you to if you haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 1: I'd like you to watch it and just let me
Speaker 1: know if you think that I'm right, because it was
Speaker 1: just awkward. You know, it was very awkward, and then
Speaker 1: unfortunately you've got well, we'll talk about it in a second.
Speaker 1: I'm jumping ahead. I apologize. So she's talking to the Cory.
Speaker 1: J talks about singing home, hearing how everybody talks about
Speaker 1: the women's division, and not giving her enough props when
Speaker 1: she came back. She wanted to make sure that everyone
Speaker 1: paid for forgetting about courage aid. No one saw it
Speaker 1: coming that she cost Julia the match, including even Roxanne.
Speaker 1: Jade used to be the young girl trying to make
Speaker 1: it at an NXT, but the woman she is now
Speaker 1: is the woman who will make NXT, who will make NXT. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Roxanne deserves to be champion and that is her version
Speaker 1: that she always wanted her to be. So she talks
Speaker 1: a little bit about it, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Julia's music hits. Now I forgot to mention earlier there
Speaker 1: was an interview done with with Julia, and in the
Speaker 1: middle of this you know in the beginning of the ending,
Speaker 1: before Julie Reeling got to talk, somebody walked in the
Speaker 1: room that you couldn't see and she's like, Julia is
Speaker 1: ah my old friend, and then they cut, so we
Speaker 1: didn't know who the old friend was. Come to find out,
Speaker 1: Julia comes out and before she hits the ring, Stephanie
Speaker 1: Ricord's music comes out and the two of them come
Speaker 1: out and just start beating on Roxanne and Cora, and
Speaker 1: at the end, both of them picked up the belt
Speaker 1: that Roxanne left in the ring. Roxanne and Cora were
Speaker 1: outside the ring, both of them picked up the belt
Speaker 1: upside down. I just I noticed that. I thought that
Speaker 1: was kind of weird and just stared at them. I
Speaker 1: don't know it was it was weird. I just I
Speaker 1: didn't understand exactly what that was all about. So they
Speaker 1: had they hold they hold the championship together. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was kind of weird. Backstage, no quarter Catcher then
Speaker 1: approaches Lexus King, who is watching the match with Ora
Speaker 1: Mensa back on tablet. King Lexus King asked for some advice.
Speaker 1: Charlie Dempsey suggested an Admiral Lord Mount Evans Rules, which
Speaker 1: is a Gentleman's Battle of Sorts. So I've never heard
Speaker 1: of that. I'm sure they'll explain it next week. But
Speaker 1: next week there will be there will be another match
Speaker 1: between Oramensa and Lexus King, and it will be the
Speaker 1: let me sure I get this right, Admiral Lord mount
Speaker 1: Evans Rules. So yeah, I guess it's something that was
Speaker 1: in England, because if anybody doesn't know, Charlie Dempsey is
Speaker 1: the son of Stephen Regal, William Regal whatever his name is,
Speaker 1: and so and obviously he's from England. So anyway, the
Speaker 1: next match after that is the North American title match
Speaker 1: between between Obafemi the Champion and Tony di'angelo the challenger.
Speaker 1: And this match was it was okay, some really cool spots.
Speaker 1: Uh Well, at one point Obafemi goes out and starts
Speaker 1: talking smack to the family and he pushes I think
Speaker 1: he pushes. He pushes one of them and then oh
Speaker 1: my god, I can't remember her name, Rizzo falls over.
Speaker 1: Rizzo gets pushed and falls over, and Tony just snaps.
Speaker 1: But it was weird. So he snaps and he starts
Speaker 1: beating the crap out of Obafemi, and but then he
Speaker 1: starts getting beat up himself again. At one point though,
Speaker 1: it was really cool. They were on the far side
Speaker 1: of the ring by the announcer's table and Tony D'Angelo
Speaker 1: takes Obafemi and gives him a spinebuster through the announced table,
Speaker 1: which was really cool. Then they get back on the ring.
Speaker 1: He does another spinebuster in the ring and then doesn't
Speaker 1: get him covered. Obafemi like hulks up for a second,
Speaker 1: goes to choke slam Tony D'Angelo and he does a
Speaker 1: sunset flip during the choke slam and zesty pins him.
Speaker 1: You know what his zesty pin is is when you
Speaker 1: kind of like fold the person in half and stand
Speaker 1: over their legs. That's called that a zesty pin and
Speaker 1: gets to win, and Tony D'Angelo is now you're a
Speaker 1: new North American champion. Now, Tony D'Angelo. His character work
Speaker 1: top notcher. I never particularly care for the whole Rocky
Speaker 1: thing when they were like trying to get him like
Speaker 1: not be scared quote unquote of Obafemi, But generally speaking,
Speaker 1: I love his work. I'm an Italian American myself. I
Speaker 1: know I don't sound it, but I am, and I
Speaker 1: love like the whole family, the whole Tony D'Angelo, the
Speaker 1: don of NXT. I love that. So he deserves a
Speaker 1: title title winning like I'm not the Heritage Cop I
Speaker 1: mean to me, I don't consider the Heritage Cop an
Speaker 1: actual title. I consider it a piece of a piece
Speaker 1: of equipment that people carry around to say they're the
Speaker 1: Heritage Cup Champion. I'm talking about an actual title belt.
Speaker 1: The North American title has been around forever, and he
Speaker 1: deserves that title now. Obami, hardly anybody thought he was
Speaker 1: going to lose anytime soon, and he did. Why, I
Speaker 1: honestly think that they're starting to groom him to go north,
Speaker 1: to go to the w w A. Eventually they're either
Speaker 1: they're either gonna a put the n XT title on
Speaker 1: him within the next year and then move him up,
Speaker 1: or they're just gonna say, you know what, he's ready
Speaker 1: to go. I think that's gonna happen sooner than later.
Speaker 1: My own personal opinion, but I think the main roster
Speaker 1: needs an Oba Femi type character, somebody who's big, who's scary.
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say that if he was
Speaker 1: to go on one show or the other, it would
Speaker 1: be SmackDown because and and to to basically be an
Speaker 1: to come in as an as a US title contender,
Speaker 1: only because Ross still right now has Bronson Reid, Bronstrowman,
Speaker 1: like they have the big guys. They don't really need him,
Speaker 1: but I honestly think he would be great and SmackDown
Speaker 1: just a personal thought. So anyway, Oba Femi loses the title,
Speaker 1: Tony D'Angelo is the North American champion, and then next
Speaker 1: week they're planning on doing a celebration. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. They seem to do this every week,
Speaker 1: every time there's a title change, especially on a especially
Speaker 1: on on a regular show that they do this. They
Speaker 1: do a celebration, like did it with jay Uso recently
Speaker 1: with the intercontinental title. They did the celebration with when
Speaker 1: when Chase U won the tag team titles, and then
Speaker 1: they did a celebration the week after and they ended
Speaker 1: up losing them that show. Anyway, but it was a
Speaker 1: decent match. I like the match. I like the result.
Speaker 1: Oba's He's Obami did not lose anything by losing this match.
Speaker 1: He's still amazing, he still lowesome, and he's still gonna
Speaker 1: kick him butt just a matter of where. That's what
Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of where. Then backstage,
Speaker 1: Colonne Jordan tells Bianca and Jade that she appreciates them
Speaker 1: having their back, and I mentioned this early, but she
Speaker 1: has it from here. They interrupted. They're interrupted by Jakara
Speaker 1: Jackson and Lash Legend, who want a tag team title shot,
Speaker 1: and they said if they want a match, they need
Speaker 1: to come to SmackDown. So on Friday, as I said before,
Speaker 1: on Friday, there's a tag team title match. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you, if you've never seen lash Legend, like
Speaker 1: Jakata Jackson, she's okay. If you've never seen lash Legend,
Speaker 1: she is a beast. She's amazing, and to be honest,
Speaker 1: I'd love to see her against against like a Ria
Speaker 1: at some point. But if you don't watch SmackDown, which
Speaker 1: I mean you must watch SmackDown. If you're watching NXT,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you watched SmackDown, but check out that match
Speaker 1: just because his Lash Lash and then Bianca and Jade
Speaker 1: Cargo will be I think it has has a chance
Speaker 1: to be freaking amazing. Okay. Then backstage, Lolavice wants able
Speaker 1: to give her a match with Jada Parker, and then
Speaker 1: we get a returning Nikita Lions, who I feel like
Speaker 1: she returns every few months. Hopefully this time she won't
Speaker 1: get hurt again, and she has an appointment with Ava
Speaker 1: during the show again, which again there's one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six hours of the week aside from the two
Speaker 1: hours that aside from the two hours that Negata next
Speaker 1: t is on why do you have to have a
Speaker 1: meeting during the show? But anyway, I guess it's just
Speaker 1: I'm a cynical. I think I'm kind of like mad
Speaker 1: and like both cynicals when it comes to stuff like that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So basically, Ava says, you know what, we were here
Speaker 1: to talk about Nikita's first match back, So it looks
Speaker 1: like it's going to be Lolavice. So next week there'll
Speaker 1: be a match between Nikita Lions and Lolovice and that
Speaker 1: should be a great match. I love Lolavice and Nikita
Speaker 1: Lyons is fairly good too. I mean, I'm playing it down.
Speaker 1: Then we have the NXT Tag Team Championship match between Phraxium,
Speaker 1: which again Nathan Fraser and Axiom against a town down
Speaker 1: Under and this match listen, there's never there's never a
Speaker 1: bad match between when when it comes to Nathan Fraser,
Speaker 1: and Axiom. They are, They're amazing. The stuff that they
Speaker 1: do was freaking amazing. And A Town down Under came
Speaker 1: down from SmackDown to put them over, and they did,
Speaker 1: and they made Phraxium look great. Phraxium already look great,
Speaker 1: but they made them look more, great, greater. Whatever it was,
Speaker 1: it was great. What are they gonna do? I don't
Speaker 1: know that. I know that they say this about every show,
Speaker 1: but the tag team division on every single show is
Speaker 1: so they're so not good right now? Who is Phraxiem
Speaker 1: gonna face? Chase University is out there fighting with Rich
Speaker 1: Holland talk about that in a second, and what other
Speaker 1: like Hank and Tank? No, No, who are they gonna fight?
Speaker 1: Who are they gonna face? I look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: this because right now I don't really see who they
Speaker 1: can face anyway. End of the match, Phraxium ends up
Speaker 1: defeating a Town down Under. So it was a pretty
Speaker 1: decent match. Like I said, it was a good things.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't get a bad match with Phraxium. Okay,
Speaker 1: then we have Sexy Red come out. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: go through this again. I don't like the whole thing.
Speaker 1: She needs to not be back again. And that's all
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say about that. So then is the match
Speaker 1: between oh oh yes, yeah, oh then yeah, then the
Speaker 1: match between Randy Orton and Javon Erin Jevon Evans. To
Speaker 1: be honest, I love Javon Evans. Obviously, Randy's the goat.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they called John Scenea the goat,
Speaker 1: but I like Randy better. I like his character better.
Speaker 1: That's just me. I mean, don't get me wrong, love
Speaker 1: John Cena two, but it's Randy. Finally. I finally got
Speaker 1: to see him in person a couple couple of months
Speaker 1: ago at Wellhegan Son in Connecticut, Like I've never seen
Speaker 1: him in person before. Dude's huge. Anyway, this match was
Speaker 1: just okay. Randy kind of like kind of walked through
Speaker 1: the match. I would say, I'm not you know, Javon
Speaker 1: tried to do the crazy moves that he does. The
Speaker 1: match ended where Javon Evans was trying to do this
Speaker 1: this flippy move that he does off the top rope,
Speaker 1: and the idea was that Randy Orton was supposed to
Speaker 1: catch him while he did the flippy move and put
Speaker 1: him in a an r KO and they both missed.
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't like Randy missed. It wasn't like
Speaker 1: he like Javon missed. They both missed, and it just
Speaker 1: got completely screwed up. Then Randy basically and so it
Speaker 1: was supposed that was supposed to be the end of
Speaker 1: the match, was supposed to be the RKO. Clearly he
Speaker 1: was supposed to try to do the r k O.
Speaker 1: When he did it, it didn't work out, so that
Speaker 1: Randy basically picks him up and says screw this and
Speaker 1: just gives him a regular r KO, wins the match,
Speaker 1: and Javon Evans, Jovon Evans had a good showing. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's Randy freaking Orton, like, come on, but Javon heavens
Speaker 1: Evans had a good showing, which then the the after
Speaker 1: that match, the very last thing that happened was there
Speaker 1: was a another backstage segment to end the show between
Speaker 1: Ava and Ethan Paige, and Ava informed Ethan, Page and
Speaker 1: Wesley that they will have a Number One Contenders match
Speaker 1: next week and that Javon Evans will also be there
Speaker 1: because of the performance he just gave. I don't think
Speaker 1: the kind of thing he couldn't have done to not
Speaker 1: get this obviously, and so it'll be a three man
Speaker 1: triple threat match and the winner will face Trick Williams
Speaker 1: at Halloween Havoc on October twenty seventh. That brings me
Speaker 1: to something I just wanted to tell you. I'm doing
Speaker 1: the NXT reviews every week for Matt for the WWE podcast,
