NXT tonight. Murphy vs Dream for NA title. Kairi vs Shayna for women's title, if she loses Kairi can't challenge for the title again
Io attacks Shayna, causing a DQ loss for Kairi. She gets an ovation and farewell, so see ya Monday/Tuesday Kairi.
tapings over so, i guess the direction so far seems like: gargano vs riddle dream vs dijakovic cole vs roddy shayna vs io
As great as they are together, it's nice that none of TUE really need each other to be a success. If Roddy being on his own again means we end up getting PWG champ era dickhead Roddy then I'm 1000% for it.
i kinda defaulted to Roddy getting the face push out of this because the whole bit started with Cole blaming Strong for his Takeover loss but it could really go either way. i think TUE continues on as a three piece with either Cole or Strong at the helm, but i’m not sure which i see in that spot. a match where the loser gets excommunicated from the group would be a lot of fun if not a little melodramatic - the thought of Kyle O’Reilly’s reactions at ringside as he watches his parents fight for custody of him makes me want it real bad lol
the issue with NXT’s framework of signing a hot new guy every two months is they all come in as faces to capitalize on indie hype and the roster is flooded with faces. they gotta swerve now and then and bring in some of these free agents as heels
