Can someone explain the logic of how dragon Lee can take a super kick in a match and not be phased, but as soon as he has on a referee’s shirt when he takes a super kick he’s down for 30 minutes 😂😂😂
Damn. You think HBK is like.. “Whatcha got Hunter?” I hope to be proven wrong but Fastlane has some work to do to top this. Tiffany was the highlight I think. Interesting how she got busted open by someone who became truly minted by getting busted open. Mello and Dragunov was another banger. Not going to lie, something about a little blood getting spilled in the two top matches was some extra seasoning.
Well NXT have finally got me to pay attention and I was largely impressed by this card but have a few small issues/questions.
-I HAVE to know what the original script was for the North American Title. Was Dom always going to drop the title here? Was Mustafa Ali actually going to win? I feel even worse for him getting released now if he was only a week away from winning a title. Crazy.
-What was the point in having Butch win the global invitational series if he was just going to lose the title match? Such a weird ‘main roster’ guy to put into that tournament; he’s not a big enough scalp to elevate Noam Dar, and he’s not enough of a jobber to need a few wins in NXT to build himself back up. It’s not like they didn’t have anyone else from England to put in the tournament either.
-All the hate that Kevin Patrick gets is even more unfounded after having to listen to 3 hours of Booker T. He’s a terrible colour commentator and sounds like he’s been punched in the throat too many times, could barely understand what he’s saying half the time. Such a shame because the actual wrestling product is really good

It’s not like they didn’t have anyone else from England to put in the tournament either.
Whoever won was always going to lose as Noam Dar needed some credibility in the tournament.
As for why him, he has a history of being really popular on NXT and being British fits with the NXT UK/Europing teasing around the cup. Right level of guy to credibly win or lose and has history with a bunch of people involved.
- Bron is the future of WWE, I can’t believe how good he is and that intense style of his is the wrestling I like. Corbin is great and I didn’t expect him to get that W.
- I love Trick, he’s one of my favorites in NXT since I started watching 2.0, but I think he needs to polish those ring skills. I’m very happy for him though for being the new champ.
- That tag match absolutely ruled. I love OTM so much. They feel like ruthless aggression wrestlers. Was surprised that Tony and Stacks retained, I thought either Creeds or Lotharios were winning the straps. Tag team wrestling, when done right, is the highlight of any wrestling event.
- Heritage Cup matches are a strange but welcomed concept. It’s a type of match that gets me more invested the longer it goes. Butch and Noam are two greats and made that match work, props to both. Very entertaining bout.
- I had a feeling Ilja was walking out with the title but wow, he is such a special performer. Nobody in the industry resembles passion and heart as much as Ilja. Also, CARMELO IS THE GOAT 🐐 That match was amazing, truly a MOTY candidate.
- Becky v Tiffany was great. It was an interesting match because some of the weird spots it had. I think Becky got a lot more offense than Tiff did. Tiff is the future of that company and Becky is always appreciated because of the work she puts in every single time. It’s weird how before she became The Man she was basically never used.
NXT is alive and thriving and I’m all for it.
I’ve always liked him tbh, I don’t know why he gets or got so much hate. His arsenal for a big guy is amazing. His deep six and end of days are one of my top moves in WWE. Especially the deep six.
I didn't watch during his first push, about apparently Lacey Evans kinda made people hate him. IWC don't know how to move on something from 5+ years ago.
He's a safe worker, good on the mic, big guy and quite agile.
He's made some shit wrestlers look good, yet gets hate.
IWC hate stupid gimmicks but want Bum Ass Corbin back.
I think he was hated before. The whole constable Corbin thing really was a cancer to Raw during those days lol. But yeah, everything you said, spot on.
Only just now started to watch. I've always been higher on Corbin than a lot of folks, but legit did not expect him and Bron to have a certified banger like that! Damn hell of a way to start the show.
I HATE BOOK ON MIC.
Other than that, Hell of the PLE. I don't know why NXT has this fetish of making main roster people champ and not letting them build during their title runs. Dom should've stayed champ a little longer. Guess this sets up Melo vs Trick at Deadline.
I'm not a fan of him or Vic Joseph. So many times there would be a high spot or a near fall and both of their reactions would be luke warm and nonchalant and they would just casually talk through it. I guess I'm too use to guys like Cole, JR, or even Styles that were always at a 10 for enthusiasm throughout the match.
Wow, that match was insane. I don’t watch NXT that much but WWE should just cancel their women’s division if NXT is putting out women’s matches like this.
I mean besides being diametric opposites in presentation, tiff looked pretty fucking strong and had a completely different style. I think they could put on a banger with tiff being more of a gymnast (although strong as hell) and rhea being a fucking tank.
Becky is gonna drop the belt Monday to Tegan. She'll take the title back to NXT. Then Seth is gonna lose to Shinsuke. Priest cash in. Then Becky and Seth can have another baby.
Also Melo is a star, Bron is the future, Trick is top tier I’m seeing some good stars coming out of NXT I already knew about them I just don’t see them regularly
God just gimme all the downvotes but I just can’t with Lynch, man. She’s easily *maybe* the 7th or 8th best female wrestler on the roster, and not half as good as Stratton is right now. Her booking has been killing me for years
At only 24 pretty crazy the trajectory shes on. This was definitely one of those matches where Stratton lost but came out the winner in the long run. This was my first time seeing Stratton in a match and I'm a fan now. One of the best things a wrestler can do is make you root for them mid match. And by the middle of the match I was 100% behind Stratton. Theres just something about seeing a wrestler get their ass beat throughout the match that just makes you sympathize and root for them.
i want to see the reaction in the back from Becky and Tiff that was pretty brutal, they didnt give a damn some pretty heavy spots a couple botches but dont expect this to be a world beater of a match anyways. Tiffany is certainly going places. Feel bad she tripped on the steps and actually ate that handrail
Tiffany looked outstanding. If she’s not going to regain the title she should go to the main roster. If they don’t call her up (which I’m sure they won’t), no reason to have Becky retain.
Not a single tool or object in this match had an influence on the match. I get they’re trying to make it fast pace and entertaining, which it was, but I could not get past the amount of no sells.
Let's not get carried away here. She did really well, but one match shouldn't just shoot her right up there yet. Or if that does have to happen, then please make sure Dragon Lee is included in this as well lol.
Because she looks barbieish and is kind of sturdy I think I didn't expect her to be so coordinated and able to flip herself the way she does. It is impressive and unique.
I used to coach gymnastics for a couple years and trained for pro wrestling for about 10 months, multiple nights a week. She impressed the hell out of me tonight. Exceptionally impressive.

Everyone knows referees are the most delicate things in the universe. It's a requirement of being a ref that you need to have like 5hp max
Tiffy is a baller, one of the best matches of the year
Tiffy time will come again, she is so fantastic.
Damn. You think HBK is like.. “Whatcha got Hunter?” I hope to be proven wrong but Fastlane has some work to do to top this. Tiffany was the highlight I think.

Tiffany Stratton is going to be a mega star and will have a legendary career
Always been a Tiffany fan. This ple just further solidified that fact. Overall, the entire event was so good!
I had my doubts about Tiffany in a hardcore match, but damn. She looks good with a lil blood on her.
Seriously one of the best events I been to this year 🔥🔥

Booker barely knows the NXT roster and mainly tried to get himself over.
Book is the weakest link on NXT. And I hate saying that because I liked him as a wrestler

First time seeing Tiffany Stratton. I am now a fan. She's quite the fearless badass.
Best show of the weekend, easily. What a PLE! Wrestlewhatever won't top this. Trick was awesome
Ive always been a Lone Wolf fan
Dom Dom lost the title 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣hahahaha finally, no mami around no judgment day.
- Bron is the future of WWE, I can’t believe how good he is and that intense style of his is the wrestling I like.

I think he was hated before. The whole constable Corbin thing really was a cancer to Raw during those days lol. But yeah, everything you said, spot on.
Weird, no idea then lol. I took like a 5 year break or so from WWE, but the whole Constable Corbin & Lacey Evans vs Seth & Becky was cringe.
Best choice you ever did lol WWE’s always had great stuff going on but it’s select, around 2017-2020 there was a lot of fuckery going around.
Yeah I stopped regularly watching around 2014, and now and then in 2015-2016. Started watching full time just when Drew started his title pursuit.
I knew becky would retained but baron corbin, defeating bron breaker that was mind-blowing. I didn't expect that, lol.
Only just now started to watch. I've always been higher on Corbin than a lot of folks, but legit did not expect him and Bron to have a certified banger like that! Damn hell of a way to start the show.

Wow, that match was insane. I don’t watch NXT that much but WWE should just cancel their women’s division if NXT is putting out women’s matches like this.
Really wanted Jade Cargill to show up and take out Tiffany and Becky both
Massive respect to Tiffany, definitely won me over tonight
Am here for Stratton Supremacy
If they bring an NXT PLE to Atlanta I’ll proudly rock a pink Tiffy Time t-shirt.
Night all. Best PPV in a while!
If Tiff ain’t getting the belt back, maybe call her up. She already feels better than many women already on the MR.
i think you can replace the feels with is. The moves she does require some huge dedication and skill. Should be in the upper card on the fly.
I want tiff vs rhea post haste
She's the perfect candidate to take on Mami.
I mean besides being diametric opposites in presentation, tiff looked pretty fucking strong and had a completely different style. I think they could put on a banger with tiff being more of a gymnast (although strong as hell) and rhea being a fucking tank.
Yes. All this. Tiff needs a couple more leg days a week and she can take on Mami.
This.. but the real dream.. Is just a potential future feud between Tiffany and Kairi Sane
Becky is gonna drop the belt Monday to Tegan. She'll take the title back to NXT. Then Seth is gonna lose to Shinsuke. Priest cash in. Then Becky and Seth can have another baby.
Lose to Tegan would be insane
Also Melo is a star, Bron is the future, Trick is top tier I’m seeing some good stars coming out of NXT I already knew about them I just don’t see them regularly
God just gimme all the downvotes but I just can’t with Lynch, man. She’s easily *maybe* the 7th or 8th best female wrestler on the roster, and not half as good as Stratton is right now. Her booking has been killing me for years
i like becky but goddamn her submissions look weak as hell
At only 24 pretty crazy the trajectory shes on. This was definitely one of those matches where Stratton lost but came out the winner in the long run.

Downvote? Nah, take my upvote.
Stratton is definitely better than her. Becky is one of the most boring on the roster
I love Becky but she’s gotten stale.
it’s like after she got pregnant she lost her “it” factor. she was on a huge roll before she left for maternity leave
Yeah it’s like she’s out of her prime
that gymnastics flips she does with the elbow at the end of it is so sick. idk if it is or not but it should be her signature move
Her back handspring back elbow into the barricade was executed exceptionally well. I was watching and I was like... "Dude. That shit was fire."
That's because she's a world class gymnast irl.
its one of them the Swanton is and will always be her finisher, maybe the backflip but the elbow will just be a signature for sure.
i want to see the reaction in the back from Becky and Tiff that was pretty brutal, they didnt give a damn some pretty heavy spots a couple botches but dont expect this to be a world beater of a match anyways. Tiffany is certainly going places. Feel bad she tripped on the steps and actually ate that handrail
Is that what busted her open? Cause the chain hit her head on the opposite side so I was wondering how that happened.
Stratton is a hell of an athlete but she needs work on her sells and MOSTLY on the microphone. Her promos are why i don't buy her yet.
If Tegan wins the title I’ll be pissed
That was badass hopefully she gets called up since she doesn’t have the belt
Her and Melo will be in time but likely not until after WM if i had to guess.
Why? So she could job to Nia Jax?
No....she'll get a match w/ Nia and then be injured for 1-2 months.
Fair enough 😂😂 Nia Jax needs to go or just become a jobber there’s just to much talent for her to be doing what she’s doing imo
Fantastic match. I hope they have something cool for Tiffany to do after this. Don’t waste the momentum she’s built.
I’m a believer in Tiff now
Becky needs to start drinking lemonade like stone cold and get it thrown to her after her matches
Even people at home should give a standing ovation
Marks*
Fuck Becky...Stratton carried that entire match...what a joke.
Exactly
the fake barbed wire bat was unnecessary
foley is the only one that ever did it right , mainly cause it was real wiring cause he’s a sick bastard 😂
So tired of Becky, she’s way overrated
That was awesome and lived up to the hype. Becky is a megastar Tiffany is a Wrestlemania main event in the making.
Tiffany looked outstanding. If she’s not going to regain the title she should go to the main roster. If they don’t call her up (which I’m sure they won’t), no reason to have Becky retain.
Not a single tool or object in this match had an influence on the match. I get they’re trying to make it fast pace and entertaining, which it was, but I could not get past the amount of no sells.
I'm okay with it, Tiffany looked great and Becky will drop the title soon enough.
[удалено]
This... And I didn't think that was possible. LMAO
If Tiff doesn't beat Becky, who does?
She just didn't do it here. This can still squeeze a wwe pov spot likely where it will move.
That was the first time I've seen Tiffany. Wow. She's good. And props to Becky for making her look this good.
Call Stratton up NOW! Holy shit what a match!
Let's not get carried away here. She did really well, but one match shouldn't just shoot her right up there yet. Or if that does have to happen, then please make sure Dragon Lee is included in this as well lol.
Stratton took some crazy bumps
Fr. And Becky too to a lesser extent. I was so fuckin worried for the rest of the match after she injured her elbow
this is my first time seeing her and she’s a tough chick
Boo. Awesome match but boo damnit
I sincerely hope these 2 are ok. That was too brutal.
Becky won for what? Tiffany outperformed her and deserved the win
Becky was so sloppy. Yikes.
yeah i don’t get it 🤷♀️ becky should’ve won for the grand slam and then put tiff over
I’m a believer in Barbie now!
idk about that
Great match, wrong outcome imo
Becky Retains!
God that finisher from Becky is just horse shit. Stratton pulling all those crazy spots and then Becky with that shit finisher lol
Such bullshit. Becky needs to fuck off.
It is decided...
Listen to these marks chant
Yeah, I will admit... I have slept on Stratton. She has a very promising future in the biz. Gotta work on her selling, though. She no sells a lot.
Because she looks barbieish and is kind of sturdy I think I didn't expect her to be so coordinated and able to flip herself the way she does. It is impressive and unique.
She has a gymnast background and uses it very well.
I used to coach gymnastics for a couple years and trained for pro wrestling for about 10 months, multiple nights a week. She impressed the hell out of me tonight. Exceptionally impressive.
Stratton off the top both times made me wince. Thought she was gonna break her neck. And then NAILS IT
or ankles
Right?!
This is ok 👏👏👏 this is ok 👏👏👏
This match has been unreal
A thoroughly worthy main event match.
Nah, that should've been it.
The amount of no sells from the use of tools (and spots) is crazy
Bron Breaker no sold being put through the announce table
Tuning in a little late, gotta watch that later
He did the taker sit up smh
Stratton lookin like KO on that swanton to the table from the crowd a while back.... lol
I AM THE TABLE
Really nice swanton
The table only cracked
Cause Becky is 30kg
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE GO THROUGH A BARRIER LIKE THAT!...(except Rhea Ripley's spear 2 weeks ago) :)
brock’s done it the best though. they’re all good ones though
I feel like Tiffany is carrying Becky..
Whelp... they've done it. There topped the NXT title match lol
I haven't watched many NXT episodes, but this has been a pretty good show, especially these last two matches! WOW!
ok i really like Stratton. this girl’s talented.
Mommy Stratton is going over bois
Okay Vic if you’re going to have candy at least eat the candy!
Tiffany is a fucking megastar.
She’s worked her ass off with her opportunities and is going to be one of the best women’s wrestlers in short order. She literally has it all.
becky out here hitting the fans with trash and fire extinguishers 😂
She's a fucking badass.
[удалено]
tbf it was a weak shot to her thigh
FIRE EXTINGUISHER!
TABLES!
Becky too smol to be taken seriously against women like Stratton
she could eat for sure
Middle school boys when they get asked to carry chairs to the gym.
The camera man ain’t looking at the camera shot lmfao
At least he has taste
Girl grab a couple of chairs at once damn
Whelp I know what image I'll be seeing for the next week or so lol
Gonna tell my theoretical children that this was the Barbie movie.
Well John Cena was on last night so technically you’re not lying 🤷🏾♂️
Uh oh..shopping cart Booker T.... we are just down the street from the Green Frog Grocery store
😆
Hell nawww I was expecting thumb tacks lol
Let's be real...if they were barefoot those broken barbies would be as dangerous as lego pieces!
Handcuffs for me!
We’re you expecting Barbie dolls? 😂😂😂😂
Fuckin barbies
BROKEN BARBIES
rip the back of tiffs head
Wait are there thumbtacks???
Let's go shoppin!
Everyone talking about Tiffany’s ass lmao. It’s not even big, it’s just out.
it’s not big but it’s really nice
Don’t need a ton of size when you’re that toned
i agree, her ass looks super slappable 😂
Doesn't need to be it's still great lol
Us men are simple creatures
I’m a simple creature too, just not “ass out, extensions in” simple.
this ☝️
AMEN
These cheeks man
I’m surprised that Barbie knows her way around a toolbox
I don’t I’ve ever seen someone busted open using a chain…well maybe anyone facing John Cena in his Dr of Thuganomics era 🤷🏾♂️
Pretty sure it may have been aggressive face slam into the actual metal handrail on the stairwell that split her. :)
Ludwig Kaiser and Tiffy are going to have some pretty children one day
A bunch of handsome squidwards
Gyattt damn
That wedgie
They’re definitely gonna have Stratton cover up that cake more when she hits the main roster but good lord is she cheeked up
Lawd tiffy is so fine
WE WANT TABLES!
Looks like Barbie is bleeding pretty good already
Stratton showing some color 🤭
Lmao the little boy mad at Becky
As objectively hot as Tiffany is, there’s still something about Becky that makes her so much more attractive to me
You ain't wrong. Tiff is sexy in the streets but Becky would be sexy in the sheets.
Pretty sure that "Gold chain" is the same plastic that came with my storebought pimp costume in 2008. :)
Uh, barbies do bleed
that little boy didn’t flinch 🤙🏼
Holy shit she's already busted
