On now. Looking forward to the second best show of the weekend (next to Wrestlemania of course).

Ladder match for the North American title to kickoff the show. Just got home. First time seeing these guys outside of the sound stage. It's weird.

This has been a spot fest that doesn't feel at all like a spot fest. Great opener.

Nice spot by Waller's heater on the ladder.

Waller just died.
Not a fan of that spot.

Fun match. It needed to be a spotfest obviously. As most ladder matches do.
Agree there’s no need for that Waller dive. I’d be shocked if he didn’t legit break his arm.
Right man won though

Everyone came out of that match a bigger deal than they were going in.

Oh Dakota & Raquel won the tag titles on the pre show.
When are either of those ladies getting called up? It’s been overdue for a long time for both.

Tony D got the contract to supply the ladders for the first match and gets a big entrance in the second.

D’Angelo has only wrestled 10 matches. That’s it.
Ciampa’s last NXT match up next. Really hope he’s not Main Evented soon. But I have my doubts.

This is kinda sad.
Ciampa’s the last real mainstay from the black & gold brand

Dakota is really best with Raquel; maybe a little more time to see if the tag team division gets more depth. Io's time for a callup is also overdue; needs a manager though to talk for her.

This is kinda sad. Ciampa’s the last real mainstay from the black & gold brand Needed to change; AEW took the indy fan demo. Developmental approach is working for NXT.

Ciampa might be more of a part-timer; he has mentioned that his bump card is almost full. How about Ciampa coming out to face Seth tonight? That would be a huge swerve BRO

Floor mat was going over Ciampa.

One can appreciate the hell out of the old NXT, realize it needed to change, and dig these new guys that have come a long long way in six months.

Crowd chanted “where’s my pizza?”

Floor mat was going over Ciampa. Gargano was under the ring holding it down. He's not on the show, just fucking with him.

Oh something needed to change. I’m not denying that. I do however think they need to start up house shows again in the Florida area at least to get these folks some reps in front of crowds and not do the sink or swim approach on live TV.
I know you guys have enjoyed the new NXT more than me, but quite a few folks aren’t ready for TV yet. Which isn’t their fault, they’re doing what they’re told.
I enjoy everyone that was in the opener. Not sold on D’Angelo yet though. Not saying never, but not right now for me.

Tony D is definitely going to need some work. He's tentative and sloppy. But like randomone said, this is like match ten.

That's why NXT 2.0 has clearly been defined as developmental now. They did keep a lot of the black & gold NXT guys so the newbies could have smaller segments/matches; now those newbies are starting to mature. House shows might be not that profitable; besides, the Level Up show is kinda for those talents that need the seasoning.
