Man....... Nattie is the butt-monkey of this company.

I mean, weren't The Revival part of Shane's posse not long ago? I'd argue they are better off with Orton...

They are geeks. Great wrestlers, but geeks. Having them tag along to an actual star elevates them and in this case gives them some heat.

Orton having The Revival as his cronies is actually a very good idea. Bless you Heyman.

Mysterio is so fucking good

Remember when geeks compared Graves to Bobby fucking Heenan? Man, the nerve of those people. Vic Joseph smokes that Corey fool.

Man, Joe and Cesaro beating the shit out of each other is fun

he actually fucked up his teeth a couple of years ago, and his speech is a bit slurred as a result. his mouthguard is in order to protect his braces

Hey I'm down with a Braun/Seth tag

wait braun vs aj??? amazing

Vic Joseph actually says things that are relevant to the match and doesn't waste time bickering. He might be good!!!!

Hey it's Corbin! I missed him!!!

Love Lawler being savvy enough to get out of the ring But I love even more the shot of The Fiend creeping behind him. Presentation is the key.

Absolutely. I actually think there's more upside to a match with a face Kevin Owens, but yeah. Him vs Ali would be insane fun. Hell, I don't think they've done him vs Big E in any shape or form, have they? Think about Roman vs Otis, too!

Cannot believe the "boring" chants made it to this video package. Nattie really can't catch a break.

Roman back in the workhorse role is fucking great. Don't know many people he wouldn't have a good match against.

Lost the opening. Why the fuck is THE BIG DOG wasting time with a fool like Ziggler?

Really hope he starts calling himself Rey just to fuck with Mysterio

Oh god this bracket is some good, good shit. Ricochet vs Baron or Drew vs Cedric have got to be the semi finals on the RAW side. Andrade vs Gable is bound to be lit (I mean they can't have Shelton go over Gable, can they?), and so is Ali vs Buddy. Gimme all that shit.

Fairly confident they are going to do Ali vs Murphy in this tournament and it's going to rule so much. Kingcochet or Rey Andrade would be dope winners, too! On paper the tournament offers us some really good possibilities, and if the finals are supposed to be a Raw wrestler vs a SD one, then it's even sweeter, because it can protect the final match up. That talk about Drew winning reminded me they had this incredible idea in one of the WWE2K games where Sheamus, Barrett, Regal and McIntyre were a stable called The United Kingdom. Kinda made wish Regal was out there managing Drew. Surely would solve the problem of his boring promos.

Hahahaha hey, Baron winning the Universal Title would inject levity into my life! But thanks bubba. Shit went south really hard and really fast, but I cannot say I'm surprised.

I hope Baron wins it all and challenges Rollins

Well, main roster acts appearing on NXT is one of the things I enjoyed the most on the first era of NXT as an actual wrestling brand. Stuff like RVD popping in to wrestle Aiden English, Orton versus Sandow or that incredible Zayn/Cesaro feud were really fun, not to mention Shield being featured in both NXT and the main shows. It can also be very good for the women's division, as in theory 2h could mean they are going to appear more, and not just the same three people. Overall it can be pretty good for NXT as a whole. It was so loaded, it pretty much needed the extra hour, and dealing with live crowds can be interesting as well.

Not so sure about that, to be honest. At least I don't think they will start their FOX run with Roman and Charlotte as champs. SmackDown is moving to Fox around October, right? So, taking into consideration it is in November, I believe Bayley will get some more months in her run because not doing her vs Sasha at Survivor Series is too good of a chance to pass, specially because now it has more stakes and some sense of weight to it, which was missing on the main roster. Unless Charlotte's reign is remarkably short and she loses it back to Bayley... As for Roman, it depends on how far they are willing to go with Kofi, which at this point is a wild guess. He's been champ for 4 months, doesn't look like he will lose it to RKO (that would be grim), but on the other hand, the ammount of opponents he can have in a straight face vs heel program is running out. Beat Bryan, Ziggler, Joe, KO, Zayn, may beat Orton. Only Nakamura's left, basically. They could very well push Roman to the top again (which would be dope) and run a Kofi/Roman feud.

God bless Uncle Eric. I don't expect this one to have a clean finish, though
