**NXT IS BETTER THAN RAW AND SMACKDOWN THREAD** - Page 58 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I feel like the proper payoff to Shayna's story with all the backstage bullying and her being a mega-heel is for a wholesome babyface she's tormented to prevail over her (so Dakota Kai, basically).

I think either could work.

I'll agree that if Dakota Kai is ready to return anytime soon, that would have been a better option. But outside of that, I think this is the best they could do. I'm excited.

I have no idea who this new person is, but strong first impression.

The white meat babyface is so boring. Very few people can pull off that gimmick anymore and even then, it gets stale really quick.

So both Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox are cleared?

Why on earth did they start a Rhea Ripley/Shayna Baszler feud?

Unless Rhea wins the title, this was mindbogglingly stupid.

Candace winning was stupid. Not sold on Cameron Grimes yet. In for Dream/Strong.

So this is now a two hour show being split between USA & the Network? While their goal may be to entice network buys, it might lead to people just not giving a **** about a show they can't watch in it's entirety.

I think it's only split like this for 2 weeks. After that it's 2 hours on USA.

System has been shocked. They went overboard with the interference, but correct result.

This match was awesome, but that kickout just ruined everything for me.

How the hell does a 300+ lb dude take a Canadian destroyer off the second rope and get back up to win the match like two minutes later?

Wasn’t watching, have no idea what the kickout was, but sincerely concur with eyebooger’s objection.

Referenced one post above. One of the worst kickouts I've ever seen

I chose to ignore that post in the name of attempted comedic delivery.

2nd hour >>> 1st hour

I'm really worried about next week. I fear we're going to have kickouts galore.

Even on LOLreddit they think that kickout was idiotic.

It would be cool if no one ever did a Canadian Destroyer again.

On the plus side, Dakota Kai is back.

AEW or NXT having more kickouts next week would be an interesting bet. I'm leaning AEW just because Shayna's matches tend to be low on kickouts while AEW loves having 90 pound Joshis kick out of 12 finishers.

NXT, where top rope Canadian Destroyers hurt less than whatever the hell Dakota Kai's finisher is

Only watched the kickout on that reddit link but it's gross and I hate it.

Also Lee ate that like **** and I thought piledrivers were illegal in WWE. Are destroyers a thing in NXT now or was that a one off?
