Gonna assume UE costs Cole next week or something

 

Lmao fucking garbage booking

 

Have they teased Balor taking over TUE in any way? Cause that seems like the right double turn if they're gonna do it

 

Eric Young won the impact world title tonight.

 

That was a ludicrously bad NXT title match. Just ludicrously bad.

I feel like I just wasted an hour.

I understand why they did it. I am not sports entertained.

 

It’s hilarious how AEW is affecting their booking decisions - nothing happens organically anymore. All the booking is decided to combat AEW and nothing else

it’s why NXT has been fucking terrible since moving to USA

 

Jesus. Why not just let one of them win it and the other feel slighted and ask for a match next week?

 

Daily reminder that Okada is still the greatest wrestler in the world.

 

If NXT was trying to get new fans last night I don’t think a 60 minute match with a non-finish was the route to go lol

 

It turns out they had a stupider idea in mind, apparently

WrestleVotes says NXT considered two options for the finish of last night’s 4Way Iron Man title match: the tie ending they went with, and having Pat McAfee interfere to cost Adam Cole the belt.

 

Christ.

just have the ref miss a foot on the ropes or something simple. Give Cole and TUE a reason to go mental next week or something and demand a match.

 

that spoiler is honestly very dumb but at least it's a fucking finish to the match

 

Amazing

 

I see Lars Sullivan returned to NXT last night, pissed all over Adam Cole and Finn Balor and stole the title. At least that’s what I assume happened, can’t imagine anyone in here overreacting to mild disappointment of a finish after an excellent Iron Man match.

 

Dude from Cageside said it best...

“And in the end, I’m still a fan of NXT and in general, they have a pretty good amount of creative good will with me. It’s not like they pull this type of crap all the time. But if they don’t deliver next week, then I’m going to start getting salty.”

 

Has ‘NXT lost it’? A conversation between two long-time fans of the show

This is a good little article too

 

Would have been a better finish

 

Also Cole/Finn is kicking off next week’s show so there will probably be shenanigans again

 

NXT was so much better when it wasn't booked like main roster and they hadn't ruined everyone that gets called up. Its hard to take it serious at times for those reasons.

 

NXT is definitely stumbling. Honestly, even though the street fight match was fun I couldn’t help but think old NXT didn’t use gimmicks like that unless it meant something bigger. Hopefully they can turn it around

 

You say this as a joke but I saw someone post a video of Lars prepping for a comeback on Instagram so we will probably be seeing him soon

 

sup beeeeeeeech

 

Everyone knew NXT was going to suffer and stumble some switching to two hours, too
