    Gonna be curious to see if they have the main roster stars invade NXT tonight.

    I think a good idea would be to send Miz. He'd get huge heat at Full Sail because he's one of the few who's not an NXT guy.

    I'm liking these three-way cross-brand matches they've got going for Survivor Series. They need one more for all the secondary belt holders: Styles vs. Nakamura vs. Strong.

    Ain't this a contrast. On one team you've got Triple H, Rey, Jeff Hardy and Kane -- three guys who are still gainfully employed by WWE (Jeff's personal demons aside), and one who's entered into a successful career as a mayor and public servant. On the other team you've got Umaga, Viscera, Kennedy, Finlay and MVP -- one of them is a beloved producer and coach in WWE, but two guys are now dead, Kennedy pissed away a prime position on the card, and MVP just faded away.

    For the first time in the Wed night wars I’ll be watching NXT after work tonight.

    Very excited to watch the guys they sent to full sail

    Is it my TV, or is The E having volume problems with the backstage sound. Can’t hear the promos.

    Both main events were entertaining as hell. But my complaint with NXT’s was that there was no finish.

    1) work or shoot?

    2) why the hell wasnt this on the television show?

    This item makes it seem like a shoot, Britt Baker Talks Battling Bea Priestley Post-Concussion - Wrestlezone , but I'm still leaning to the worked-shoot, taking a real incident and pumping it up to hype the match.

    Also, AEW has been knocking it out of the park with the promo work. After seeing that Baker video, Cody's promo on Wednesday night, and Jericho's usual bits on the mic, the TV-writer created stuff on WWE pales in comparison.

    Helluva promo from the dentist.

    Britt Baker and Adam Cole: the first family of the Wednesday Night Wars.

    It was awesome and I tend to think worked shoot.

    But their womens division kinda blows, so why they didnt dedicate tv time to selling this match and getting Britt over as the face of the division confuses me. I understand the champ is someone else but she feels like a placeholder.

    It's weird seeing the former Funkasaurus (as Tyrus) touting his Fox News show during Smackdown each week.
