Corey Graves was especially great on commentary this week.

It's amazing how good any of the WWE commentators are when they aren't being over produced and don't have 456 talking points to get in during a match

Very good episode this week. Ending sequence was perfect.

Aska is great. Please don't ever make her talk. And Vince please learn a lesson about how people can remain intimidating by saying less or even nothing.

What the hell was American Alpha wearing?

Great 8-man tag. They're slowly building towards the obvious.

I tend to only tune in for the NXT:Takeover's and each time I say im gonna make more of an effort to tune in weekly. Nakamura was first guy that made me tune into the weekly NXT show because i really wanted to see him.

Think they missed a trick with Bayley this week. Graves did a good job of saying she was missing something, a twinkle in her eye etc, without the women's title. I think they could have used this to start a losing streak without her title, put over one of the women this week and for the next couple then she disappears and either comes back to face Asuka to win the title back or preferably comes back slightly repackaged to take down a heel Charlotte or a tweener Banks on the main roster.

So, No Way Jose debuted this week. It was........ something.

That No Way Jose debut was awful. His moveset was stupid, and that finisher was Solomon Crowe's Pendulum Splash level bad.

He's going to get "go away" heat in no time, which honestly will be a good thing for him.

I thought it Jose was terrible too.

Besides the Takeovers, NXT is becoming unwatchable. Nothing interesting has happend in a long time.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "unwatchable", but the quality has taken a dip over the past year.

Also, what's with the guys that they just called up getting beat in NXT recently? Vaudevillains lost last week. Both Enzo/Cass and Apollo lost this week.

I also don't think it helps the winners as much as it would have in the past, it's just a thing.

As for Jose, I guess they are going for a comedy type gimmick, but that was awful. It was like Fandango mixed with Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz. And yes that was easily one of the top 3 worst finishers ever.

Most NXT fans will root hard for the NXT alumni once they are on the main roster regardless of whether they lose on the way out or not, so they may as well put over someone on the way out.

I will say Cory Graves is a revelation, his call of "Who is this Jose and why is he being constantly denied" was A+

i haven't watched the weekly NXT show in quite awhile either. it's not bad, and to be fair is probably better than RAW, but the quality dip since the last wave of call-ups was noticeable enough for me to stop watching regularly.

I didn't watch NXT much until last year, but were they trying to make Corey Graves CM Punk Lite when he was wrestling?

I just got an alert on my phone. Apparently Samoa Joe won the NXT title at a house show in MA.
