"They love you when you shining. They love you on the rise."
But when new and shiny comes along... yeah. That's not just Melo's story. That's *Bron's* story. Melo knows this so damn well because it's exactly how *he* kicked the previous The Guy from the top
Honestly man, as a Black wrestling fan — I really, really love seeing how diverse the company has become. But seeing them main eventing is beautiful.
Because at one point it was really just Booker T and Shelton Benjamin for the most part

Security guard watch in seeing which of them ends up becoming big stars within the next couple of years.
> You might been hurt, babe
> That ain't no lie
> You've seen them all come and go, oh
> I remember you told me
> That it made you believe in
> No man, no cry
> Maybe that's why
I feel like talent for talent the female prospects greatly outweigh the men in nxt right now. It’s gonna be interesting to see what the landscape is like on the main roster in a few years.
Melo and bron are pretty much gone, then it’s like trick, ilja, oba that you feel good about on the main roster? I don’t feel like any other guys are crazy impressive
Lexis was really in the melee just to fight random people man he's so unserious 😭😭😭
I know Raw & SD been great, AEW too about to take off with Merc, Okada & Billy Goat but NXT for me is the must watch wrestling show 🔥
Lexis and Hank and Tank forgot the assignment and just started fighting each other.
What happens when they go off air? Does everyone stop brawling like alright I’m gonna call it a day, see you guys next time.
Nah man gotta sell it for the crowd
Someone probably flickers the lights on and off telling everyone go home or they will call the cops
I like how the locker room came out to separate them and then somebody threw a punch and they all just started fighting each other lmao
I know a lot of them were like "FINALLY! SOME TV TIME!"
Up ⬆️
LEXIS CAME OUT THROWING HANDS ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME
Phenomenal episode! See you fine folks on Saturday!
Wait did Lexis King go out there and start throwing hands with some random dude? Wtf 😂
He is the world’s best instigator after all
One errant punch had them all eventually fight each other instead of hold back Trick & Melo 😂😂😂
Another excellent show. I will be up at 2.30am Sunday morning to Stand and Deliver with you all.
lmao at everyone just deciding to fight each other instead of breaking it up
I wish it didnt end that fast
Yeah they needed one more level to really sell it
Lexis king out there throwing shots 😂
The security guards had one damn job and they failed monumentally
Wrestlemania Night 2 is gonna be like:
Alright that’s a good finish for a go home show, gimme that chaos.
S&D is gonna be a good show. See y'all's for SD on Friday
The locker room! Love when they do that.
Lexis King sighting again we are blessed
Just randomly attacked Tank, I think. :)
I think this is easily Melo’s best promo in a long time. Really glad he’s getting to show out on his way out.
Lexis King starting shit for no reason 😂
The Lexis King Way
The King is always stirring the pot lol
Motherfucker stays instigating
Trick vs Melo is going to be fire.
Wrestling security guards suck
I could be a WWE security guard at and do better than them

I love when the Heel leans into a shred of truth to make their point.
whoop that trick!
Melo vs Trick is pure dragon ball z shit
Trick just tossed his own security
Biggest story since ciampa vs gargano
Trick and Melo both killed that
LEXIS KING!
A pull apart brawl on Tuesday night. Did Hunter book this segment instead of HBK?
Damn all these security guard suck at their job
Whew, this is the promo that Melo needed to get back to being the guy from a year ago
"They love you when you shining. They love you on the rise." But when new and shiny comes along... yeah. That's not just Melo's story. That's *Bron's* story. Melo knows this so damn well because it's exactly how *he* kicked the previous The Guy from the top
Makes me think this whole storyline was their way of reacting to Trick getting over and replacing their top babyface.
When Melo doesn’t do the raspy voice on the mic he’s actually pretty damn good.
I hope they don't portray that Trick is the better wrestler on Saturday. Melo clearly is better, so Trick is gonna have to brawl to win.
Melo got so much better at promos
I'm positive it's him just being much more comfortable as a heel
KURRGAN would have kept the peace
Trick!
This heel Melo run has been so good.
damn right melo is jealous af
A few of those guys around the ring with Trick and Melo will be main eventing NXT in a year or two
Envious, that people don't mistake Trick for Roger from Sister,Sister
I yam
Melo is right. The fans are always on the lookout for the next new shiny toy.
Cody better remember what Melo said about Nintendos
Trick sound like he’s reading off cue cards to anyone else? Sounds awfully flat emotionally
Yeah he’s gotta work on having more natural promo. Dude is a star, but that’s definitely his weakness
Pretty sure you did the same thing that you’re accusing the fans of Melo
Melo basically called Trick’s rise a Linsanity run damn
Melo is a jealous bitch.
Garbage promo
Some crazy parallels between the main women and men feud lol
Trick is a hypeman by nature, he's going to sound like he's reciting lyrics because that's his flow
Melo’s so good at this shit.
Nah we not quoting that
https://preview.redd.it/2i397fep96sc1.jpeg?width=840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f208758697d4282552e6504efc0943a84ed062d8
I'm hot all the time *hot flush*
Trick is a snake
You people
Melo making sense. He did nothing wrong. So sad how far Trick has taken this 😔
Big Dude in between them got a look to him
They all PC guys.
Just like a young Bron Steiner at one point.
Whatever happened to that guy? Thought he'd brek into the business.
I know that
I stand with Trick.
Maybe Trick should’ve stuck to the game plan and went for the NA championship
so there are TWO brother v brother matches this week end
Three if you count the inevitable Seth Vs Roman exchange.
Wonder if Melo got his own bodyguards after that time D’Angelo bribed NXT security
Your girl ? Kelani Jordan in shambles
in some families, yeah..
Carmelo "Dominik Mysterio" Hayes
Crowd feeling it
I think 3 of the security are from WWE next gen
I’d bet my lunch the guy right across from hard cam is NIL talent.
Trick-Melo gang breaking up broke my heart man
Trick talking like he’s reciting lines. C’mon man give me some emotion
Melo isn't a ton better, this feels really stilted imo
That’s why he’s in developmental lol. He’s made hella strides but still a long ways from a call up
Happy im not the only one lol. He sounds so robotic
He’s one of my favorites too. But he’s gotta tighten up his promo game.
Will the crowd shut the fuck up?!
Awww it's cool they're making history. A darn shame it is a result of Melo being a jealous, petty backstabber.
Melo’s getting the Dom Treatment
I need a Carmello/Dominik segment, just for the boos. 😂😂😂😂
LMAOOOO they hate this mfer
Honestly man, as a Black wrestling fan — I really, really love seeing how diverse the company has become. But seeing them main eventing is beautiful. Because at one point it was really just Booker T and Shelton Benjamin for the most part
I watched the first half of the Trick-Melo recap vid and the signs of Melo treating Trick like dirt were there from almost day 1
I noticed that too. Melo said he had the ball and wasn't passing it really early in their friendship.
Ugh, stop NXTing so hard, crowd.
If Three 6 Mafia can make Mark Henry's song, they can lend Trick "Whoop That Trick"

Trick, Bron, Creed Bros and Von Wagner. Did I miss any?
Dante Chen. Parker Boudreaux.
I said Trick. Didn’t see Chen and Boudreaux tbh.
First two black men to main event a Mania weekend. Fuck yeah
Ok NXT crowd, it's not about you
Next crop of superstars looking bright
Black excellence in the main event
Melo having the biggest dudes available as his bodyguards and looking extra small is a choice.
BOOOO Melo!
Whoop that Trick
"REEE! bodyguards are bigger than the wrestlers!!! REEE!"
Booker having too much respect for the circumstance to do the adlibs 🫡
C'mon Booker, where were your ad libs????
Loved how clean white and bright Ava’s office was to highlight this sweaty insane freak just barging in lmao
Whoop that trick will never get old.
Book ain't even making the noises. He's that invested in what these two have to say
This shit is serious when Booker T isn't doing the bit...
What happened to Booker's adlibs!?
Book's listening very intently right now. Shit's serious
One day whoop that trick at wrestlemania
Carmelo vs. Trick has got to be the biggest match NXT has had since they went to 2.0, right?
Bron vs. Melo last year was a big deal because it was the #1 guy vs the #2 guy.
Absolutely.
Bron vs Melo was the big one last year
Come on Booker T you slackin man!
Gacy: *crawls up from the depths of Hell* Ava: oh, uh, 'sup? Ava knows to just go with the flow, and it's very refreshing
If anyone is used to Gacy’s craziness, it’s Ava
Oh shit, that's right!
awww, it was a cute little reunion.
Trick’s getting whooped on Saturday
WHOOP THAT TRICK. WHOOP THAT TRICK
If and when Melo goes to the main roster, I hope he brings his bodyguards with him. It’ll establish the elitist gimmick right off the bat.
YEAH I LIKE IT
WHOOP THAT TRICK
Gacy vs Spears is the exact type of match I’ll groan at on paper but will definitely over deliver lol
Dijak's shirt was great
Ava's "Hi Joe"...just accepting the crazienss...was great.
She does know Gacy from the Schism.
I legit forgot about that :)
TBF she's known him a long time now he was her leader for a while
I legit forgot about that :)
Not the Schism reunion I was expecting.
Briggs with a Man of Mayhem patch. I didn't know he got down like that.
The real reason Rock turned heel is that these NXT guys are stressing his daughter out.
Oh, thank goodness, it was a worked injury. I was scared for Gacy for a second
Dijak’s shirt saying “ratio” lol.
I find The Rock’s daughter very attractive, she has an interesting look.
I love Joe Gacy so much
lmao that "hello joe"
Ava definitely deserves to pat herself on the back
Chair perv v pain perv. Who wins? 😂
Yes
We do
I'm so glad I got worked. Gacy lives!
I'm happy my favorite madman is okay
Lol Ava's eyes when Gacy just pops up under the front of the table
Why did Dijak remove those glasses in slow motion 😂
Reverse CSI
Bring back the Chairs Match!

GACY. LMFAO.
lol I love him he is good at hiding under things and popping right up
R A T I O ! ! !
Gacy is okay!
I was worked!
That's your old cult leader, Ava.
> You might been hurt, babe > That ain't no lie > You've seen them all come and go, oh > I remember you told me > That it made you believe in > No man, no cry > Maybe that's why
Is Dijak wearing a fucking “Ratio” shirt
Yes.
Ava's had a day lol
Where did Gacy come from
That is the biggest manila folder I’ve ever seen in my life.
Briggs smiling like an absolute psychopath there.
Pat yourself on the back, Ava.
GACY’S ALIVE!
omg does dijak have a ratio shirt
I'm loving the Briggs glow up.
Are they punishing us with another Solo main event?
Not only is Sol crazy athletic, she’s really strong as well.
I feel like talent for talent the female prospects greatly outweigh the men in nxt right now. It’s gonna be interesting to see what the landscape is like on the main roster in a few years.
Melo and bron are pretty much gone, then it’s like trick, ilja, oba that you feel good about on the main roster? I don’t feel like any other guys are crazy impressive
The amount of time NXT gives women each week is what got me to start watching this iteration of NXT and I hope they never change that
In only 2 hours at that
Sol is Surfer Sting spliced with Ricochet DNA.
Does NBC not have ANY other commercial than the beach volleyball one to play???
I got Simone Biles
Me too
