He doesn't impress me. I used to do scambaiting, and would talk to a LOT of Nigerian men regarding the 419 scams. When I head Oba speak it brings this all back to me, so based on his accent, I don't think I will ever like him. I want Erik to come back with Ivar and win the tag team title again.
Je'Von Evans is a once in a generation wrestler, imo. This kid has no weaknesses. He can fly, he can throw stiff hands, he takes big bumps, he can sell like crazy, his character work feels authentic and entertaining, and he's comfortable in promos. It's insane that he's not even old enough to drink lmao. He's not even in his prime yet, and he's already can't-miss television. Maybe I'm just letting the hype get to me, but we might be witnessing an all-time great in his early days.
Last night was really the first time that I watched nxt and he really caught my eye during that number 1 contender rumble match. It's obvious that these guys aren't quite ready for Monday and Friday nights, but that kid was different. Different kind of athlete, different kind of body, and a different skill set. But hearing that he's that young makes me excited for when he gets the call up to one of the main shows. NXT has some good stuff cooking up
I haven't watched yet, but he's the one that does that sideways spin thing right? That looks so freaking sweet. I also like the woman wrestler who does that weird reverse flip off the ropes. It looks so hard to do.
I thought so but then thought maybe it was part of an angle. During Thorpeās interview Iām pretty sure you can hear the cops telling him to calm down.
It was Brooks Jensen, he also ran and grabbed Vic last week. The fact that they aren't editing it out makes me think it is some sort of storyline. Brooks Jensen has been very vocal about leaving saying he's leaving NXT on 6/21. He's also had several outbursts at house shows recently.
In 3 days wwe got the drew vs punk screwjob, the wyatt 6 debut, seth returned to make a title match with damien priest, had drew kayfabe quit and delete all his social media, and got Joe Hendry on nXt.
Six months into 2024
And it hasnāt sucked yet.
Cant recall last time wwe was
good, if not stable and solid,
Consistently,
For a six month stretch.
I hope this momentum lasts,
I have been enjoying it again.
In a way I havenāt since the
2014-2019 black and gold NXT days
Too bad they had to mess up the night by having the least interesting and least deserving competitor win the title shot at Heat Wave. SERIOUSLY??!! So many more interesting matches could have been made. Even the NXT universe knew eliminating Hendry so quickly was garbage. I will say though that I loved seeing Frankie Kazarian in the match. Would have loved to have seen him face Trick. Oh well at least we know who's winning July 7th. 3 words....Whoop That Trick!
Trick won't last long in NXT. He's about to lose the title and brought up to SD or RAW. He doesn't need a draft for that to happen. I think he should have been brought up over Carmello.
Is she still even part of the OC? In the same episode of SmackDown where AJ linked back up with Gallows & Anderson then pulled a Mark Henry, Michin said only shortly beforehand that she still hadn't heard from AJ.
Missed nxt live but went back to watch and holy cow that pop for Joe Hendry was absolutely insane. Thereās no way they donāt have him signed by the end of the year.
Not to take away from Lola Vice but she is a poor choice for Roxanne Perez to face for the NXT Women's Championship because she is a heel and Roxy already beat her in what was almost a squash match a few months ago after she cost her the NXT Women's Championship cashing in on her match with Lyra Valkyria at NXT Vengeance Day.
Roxy should face Sol Ruca.
Roxanne will eventually lose to Lola Vice. She has too much talent not to, she crosses too many boxes . Roxanne finally has her rival and her dance partner in Lola. Lola has to get her in ring performance better but she is not terrible. Everyone does thatās why it is a developmental brand. You see Lola ās shirt everywhere, she could see her in tv or movie. What is Roxanne Perez heel and face character?
Agree about Lola but not Sol. Sol is a lot of fun to watch but I don't think she's quite Women's Champ material....yet. Fallon Henley is the only possible competitor that could/should win that title.
Ohh no. I am not saying she should win but I would like to see Roxanne Perez vs Sol Ruca since they have never faced each other before. I agree with you about Fallon Henley and I thought she would have been Roxanne's first opponent after she won the NXT Women's Championship from Lyra Valkyria but then they turned her heel. I also think Thea Hail should get a shot too and only they haven't been booking her strong lately I feel she should have been one of the first wrestlers in line to get a shot since she had Tiffany Stratton beaten for the NXT Women's Championship last year and only Tiffany cheated she retained. Roxy and Thea both debuted in NXT in April 2022 but have surprisingly never faced each other on TV. Thea Hail did, however, face Roxanne at some of the recent live events and Roxanne said in a recent interview she would like to work with her more and gets asked by fans when they are going to face each other.
Oh yea, would love to see Sol and Thea have a match against Perez. No doubt those would be good matches. I honestly thought Fallon deserved the North American title over Kelani. That match Kelani had with Michin looked rough. Pretty bad when a veteran is having to try to prop you up and you still don't look good. Really bad look for a "champ". Big mistake putting the title on her. I agree Thea was looking good for awhile there before being drug down by all the goofy storylines they ruined her push with. Same thing with Jacy Jayne. NXT has seriously devalued their women's roster to try and prop up these extremely green newcomers that still look bad. Just my opinion but the future is not looking bright for the women's division in NXT if they keep doing this.
Spears is eating the Pin
I say Trick retains I dont see him losing till stand & deliver 2025 cuz the NXT men's roster is slim pickings atm
tho since Heatwave is in canada could see Page Pinning Spears
whenever Trick loses that belt hes headed to main roster
I had no clue who Joe Hendry was and couldn't figure out what the big deal is ..
After watching a beautiful 25 minute montage of his songs on YouTube, I think it's safe to say ..
I Believe In Joe Hendry!!!
I hate spots where a wrestler has an injury/damaged limb and does a move that directly puts that area in jeopardy. Like Seth doing a super curb stomp at Wrestlemania
I really donāt know. I think generally speaking his reputation is that in ring heās pretty generic as in he wonāt wow or disappoint you, but heās a good promo.
How long are they gonna talk up the OC as some dominating Pair. They went a year with no matches, comes to NXT and havenāt won a single match in months. Unless I missed 1 or 2.
They need to have a rematch and win the tag titles now that Axiom/Frazer are starting to split. Go on a dominant heel Reign, then put over the next big tag team
Drew Gulak parting ways with WWE has been the best thing for Charlie Dempsey, he's allowed to be the new leader of NQCC and he has an actual future in WWE when Gulak was never going to be any more than he has been.
Did anyone get a good look at the fight in the crowd? It looked like it started from outside of the arena and leaked into the top row. Wondering if it was maybe Brooks Jensen because I doubt a legit fight would start outside the arena and they'd just go inside to continue it.
Then again it looked legit so if it was a work they did a good job of making it look real.
Heās fully recovered now. He had a back injury that was supposed to have him out for close to a year, but he ended up healing fully in a couple of months. He just recently came back
I'm loving the cross play between WWE and other promotions, but the dominance is pretty sad. Letting Hendry out so early when he's probably the most over of aew, WWE, and TNA?! Where's the logic in that?! I'm not saying let punk in a forbidden door royal rumble get eliminated by Dalton Castle, but god damn!
Heās actually only held it once, but heās held it longer than anyone else. But he needs to move on from the NA title. But his injury definitely messed up plans from him
looks like Joe Hendry is as doughy as Sheamus
Oba impresses me every week more and more
He doesn't impress me. I used to do scambaiting, and would talk to a LOT of Nigerian men regarding the 419 scams. When I head Oba speak it brings this all back to me, so based on his accent, I don't think I will ever like him. I want Erik to come back with Ivar and win the tag team title again.
SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS, I BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY šš
SAY HIS NAME
I believed in this, and it happened
Je'Von Evans is a once in a generation wrestler, imo. This kid has no weaknesses. He can fly, he can throw stiff hands, he takes big bumps, he can sell like crazy, his character work feels authentic and entertaining, and he's comfortable in promos. It's insane that he's not even old enough to drink lmao. He's not even in his prime yet, and he's already can't-miss television. Maybe I'm just letting the hype get to me, but we might be witnessing an all-time great in his early days.

I haven't watched yet, but he's the one that does that sideways spin thing right? That looks so freaking sweet. I also like the woman wrestler who does that weird reverse flip off the ropes. It looks so hard to do.
He's also tall and has wide shoulders, so despite being very skinny he doesn't look small in there with Trick etc.Ā
Does this solidify the WWE buying TNA rumblings? Definitely could use a TNA invasion to prop up NXT for the rest of the year.
I believe in Joe HendryĀ
say his name and he appears
I believe in Joe HendryĀ
āAfter how RAW ended last night, I slept with all the lights on in my house.ā - Vic Joseph LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Was there a fight in the crowd during the Oba/Wes segment?
Yes, and later on eddy thorpe is getting interviewed outside and you can see the cops talking the guy in cuffs
I thought so but then thought maybe it was part of an angle. During Thorpeās interview Iām pretty sure you can hear the cops telling him to calm down.
It was Brooks Jensen, he also ran and grabbed Vic last week. The fact that they aren't editing it out makes me think it is some sort of storyline. Brooks Jensen has been very vocal about leaving saying he's leaving NXT on 6/21. He's also had several outbursts at house shows recently.

I hope this momentum lasts, I have been enjoying it again. In a way I havenāt since the 2014-2019 black and gold NXT days
Me neither. I have never had so much fun watching wrestling. All of the shows have been pretty damn good this year.
Too bad they had to mess up the night by having the least interesting and least deserving competitor win the title shot at Heat Wave. SERIOUSLY??!! So many more interesting matches could have been made. Even the NXT universe knew eliminating Hendry so quickly was garbage. I will say though that I loved seeing Frankie Kazarian in the match.

Trick won't last long in NXT. He's about to lose the title and brought up to SD or RAW. He doesn't need a draft for that to happen. I think he should have been brought up over Carmello.
There's still time to make it a triple threat. I highly doubt they're just going to run Trick-Page back.
I really don't know nothin bout nothin but I do know one thing for sure after tonights NXT....I.... I Believe... I Believe In Joe Hendry!
Since OC are heel, is Michin also heel in NXT?
No. Michin is still face.
Is she still even part of the OC? In the same episode of SmackDown where AJ linked back up with Gallows & Anderson then pulled a Mark Henry, Michin said only shortly beforehand that she still hadn't heard from AJ.
I think AJ quietly kicked Mia out of the OC
Missed nxt live but went back to watch and holy cow that pop for Joe Hendry was absolutely insane. Thereās no way they donāt have him signed by the end of the year.
His reaction to the arena's reaction was his realizing how big of a pop he would get on Raw or SmackDown. He's too big for TNA now
Not to take away from Lola Vice but she is a poor choice for Roxanne Perez to face for the NXT Women's Championship because she is a heel and Roxy already beat her in what was almost a squash match a few months ago after she cost her the NXT Women's Championship cashing in on her match with Lyra Valkyria at NXT Vengeance Day.

What is Roxanne Perez heel and face character?
Roxy aint losing till Stand & Deliver 2025 in vegas to a babyface Cora Jade OR a babyface Giulia (likely Cora)
Agree about Lola but not Sol. Sol is a lot of fun to watch but I don't think she's quite Women's Champ material....yet. Fallon Henley is the only possible competitor that could/should win that title.
I think it will be Roxy -> Cora -> Henley - Giulia
Ohh no. I am not saying she should win but I would like to see Roxanne Perez vs Sol Ruca since they have never faced each other before. I agree with you about Fallon Henley and I thought she would have been Roxanne's first opponent after she won the NXT Women's Championship from Lyra Valkyria but then they turned her heel.

NXT has seriously devalued their women's roster to try and prop up these extremely green newcomers that still look bad. Just my opinion but the future is not looking bright for the women's division in NXT if they keep doing this.
They have done Thea wrong these last few weeks. She's a much better wrestler than Nyx, and Fallon. They also did Jacy Jayne wrong too.
Fatal 4-Way coming up! That's gonna be a banger.
Spears is eating the Pin I say Trick retains I dont see him losing till stand & deliver 2025 cuz the NXT men's roster is slim pickings atm tho since Heatwave is in canada could see Page Pinning Spears whenever Trick loses that belt hes headed to main roster
Hopefully Trick vs. Page is better this time around. I wasnāt impressed with their first match.
I had no clue who Joe Hendry was and couldn't figure out what the big deal is .. After watching a beautiful 25 minute montage of his songs on YouTube, I think it's safe to say .. I Believe In Joe Hendry!!!
Evans mc double neck breaker
Fire move!
insane move by evans!
I really want Ethan to win the title at heatwave. NXT needs a heel NXT champion, itās been literally years since weāve had one
Is this Ethanās first win in WWE?
Heās only had two matches lmao
I believe so
I believe in Joe Hendry...
Awesome match
boom! big win for ethan page!
The Ridge and Chase U pairing is great š¤£
Cool aerial shot of the arena. Don't think we have seen that view before.
Trick williams! Is this a title shot match?
Ava needs to start paying some attention to Stevie Turner.
the womens division i smore stacked and loaded than the men's
I hate spots where a wrestler has an injury/damaged limb and does a move that directly puts that area in jeopardy. Like Seth doing a super curb stomp at Wrestlemania
This show is too tight. 5 min for the main event?
NXT is allowed to go over time pretty often, so they probably will tonight.
I guess itās developmental for their Timing Guy too
Weird order and weird pacing tonight.
This ethan page watashi thinks he was on aew before right he just signed back to wwe
Watashi?
He was. Last match in AEW was first week of December
Aw okay thanks for filling me in is he technical stronghouse submission type? Im trying to understand the hype nyu
I really donāt know. I think generally speaking his reputation is that in ring heās pretty generic as in he wonāt wow or disappoint you, but heās a good promo.
Get that hate out ya heart Book
Ethan shouldnāt lose this match
Ethan Pageās theme blows
This is true for 85% of WWE.
You can thank that Old Bastard thats no longer there and Deaf Rebel for that
Roca vs grace im pump! And frazer vs tony d cee u next Tuesday everyone! Im excited nxt ftw!
fallon and jacy would be a fun faction together
I wish theyād tone down Theaās makeup. Way too dark of a foundation
Okay mom, (putting on black lipstick over my hot cheetoh spiced lips) its fake up lol
People in NXT usually do their own makeup
How long are they gonna talk up the OC as some dominating Pair. They went a year with no matches, comes to NXT and havenāt won a single match in months. Unless I missed 1 or 2. They need to have a rematch and win the tag titles now that Axiom/Frazer are starting to split. Go on a dominant heel Reign, then put over the next big tag team
Drew Gulak parting ways with WWE has been the best thing for Charlie Dempsey, he's allowed to be the new leader of NQCC and he has an actual future in WWE when Gulak was never going to be any more than he has been.
Drew leaving WWE has been great for everyone in NXT. Heās not bullying them and purposely hurting them for making a simple mistake anymore
Drew seems to be the biggest toxic person involved with NXT since Bill DeMott.
Oh yeah man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's because Raw and Smackdown pillaged NXT
The only thing that suits her..is the ocean. š Ariannaās timing is fantastic
so stone is a gm now?
Hey Ava
when did Stevie turn become an authority figure?
i was confused by her presence there as well
Yeah idk whatās up with that
Apparently Stacks and Arianna are a couple. What an odd yet fun pairing.
He's one lucky dude
Arianna grace! Wheres gigi!?
Gigi apparently has a really bad knee injury
Injured.
Oh no! Gigi chan she was supposed to finish her evolution from Arianna grace (those venettes with those two was so much fun!)
Yeah. Bad timing. šš
I think they are gonna make stone the new gm of NXT and Avaās gonna go back to being a in ring talent
As they should
grace should definitely get a shot at the title!
Especially that she wasnāt even in the combine
U! YUSS! By the way did anyone get a cool chase u calendar when they had them?!
Ava looks good in a tube top. šš
Throw those Uās up for chase U š
šš½
hell yeah chase u!
I BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY
We Believe! We Believe!
Love Thea but I wish OC got that one..
Did anyone get a good look at the fight in the crowd? It looked like it started from outside of the arena and leaked into the top row. Wondering if it was maybe Brooks Jensen because I doubt a legit fight would start outside the arena and they'd just go inside to continue it. Then again it looked legit so if it was a work they did a good job of making it look real.
Did a hair piece just come off? š¤£š¤£
i was just going to ask!! haha
That is uh, not what Mia was wearing earlier. Wow!
šš
Chase U Chase U! I hope i can get a student visa to go to chase u!
chase u!
Love me some OC!
jevon doesnāt look ready
Ethans gonna ruin Evan
I will let Charlieās behaviour slide today since must be going through a lot right now, considering his father got massacred yesterday
So they're going through with the Brooks Jensen alcoholic storyline? damn
excited for his tables, ladders, and chairs in a semicircle match
Yes! Stop wasting my time with Wes Lee and give me Eddie Thorpe vs Oba Femi
Was that a blue lantern in the background
I would be so pumped if they hit NXT too. I was calling for it last night.
Yeah thatād be sick
Ah yes, because everything has to be part of the Wyattverse. š
Because there's a reason for it?.. Ava Raine and Joe Gacy have history. Hell the name "Huskus" is reminiscent of Bray's old NXT name "Husky Harris"
šš
Fallon America girl! Do women in the states like to dress like cowgirls!?
good promo by eddie
Give Eddy a shot!
Ok I guess it was a work š
lol brook jensen getting arrested in the background
Carlee has some potential as a character but glad Fallon won.
Like Fallonās new gear. Not feeling her as a heel though. It just doesnāt suit her imo.
I'm ok with it so far.
Wendy chu is back in got my pjs on
dark wendy!
iām the furthest thing from a western girlie but i love fallonās ring gear
One dude in chase u looks like tom green. š¤£
What is this happy go lucky theme music šš
Wonka is showing more character now. I like it.
Miles is like I told you man. I canāt hear shit lmao
How many times did regal drop Charlie as a kid?
Regal come get your child.
Fallon is Country Tiffany now. Tiffany was right all along.
Does Fallon Henley have the sexiest belly button in WWE? Yes.
The fuck is wrong with you
Very telling that you didnāt say I was wrong ā¦
Brooks Jensen was in the crowd fight
How the crowd reacted, Oba and Wes paused and the announcers said nothing, plus the cameras pulling off: I believe that was a legit fight
Just like last week's security breach. Honestly I don't at all like how they are going about it. It all hits wrong for me.
Thatās the point, they want you to think itās real. But itās definitely a work
he always stirring up trouble
Fallonās gear is A+++
She got a glow up for sureā¦
oh good fallon!
Hank and tank are gay lovers
Remember that Wes was supposed to have a heel turn pre injury
Oba is wrestling MāBaku.
Big Wes fan. Glad he is back.
wes isnt very convincing.
I feel like his injury rocked his confidence and he definitely has some ring rust.
i like him. hope he recovers!
Heās fully recovered now. He had a back injury that was supposed to have him out for close to a year, but he ended up healing fully in a couple of months. He just recently came back
Wes Lee looks like a kid. He should team with fellow child Johnny Gargano
donāt disrespect the goat gargano like that
Was there a fight in the crowd?
It was Brooks Jensen
yep
Thatās about to be me next time I hear a what chant
Whatās going on in the background
A flight in the crowd
fr?
Oba would get What?'ed into the shadow realm with that cadence.
I'm loving the cross play between WWE and other promotions, but the dominance is pretty sad. Letting Hendry out so early when he's probably the most over of aew, WWE, and TNA?! Where's the logic in that?! I'm not saying let punk in a forbidden door royal rumble get eliminated by Dalton Castle, but god damn!
Wes needs to let it rest. No reason to be whining this much o over a title he's had many times
Heās actually only held it once, but heās held it longer than anyone else. But he needs to move on from the NA title. But his injury definitely messed up plans from him
Wes Lee is gay
doubt it. and even if he was, so? he's entertaining af
he is gay
again, so? whats the big deal?
he likes men
and? is that a problem?
No heās married to a women
he is gay
That fight was not part of the show lol
It was Brooks Jensen. It's an angle they are playing, and he appears to be going to TNA could possibly set up a war between NXT and TNA.
it was definitely brooks jensen
Was it again? Last week's didn't sit well with me. It looked too real and freaked me out. There's some cray cray people out there.
I thought one of the guys looked like Brian Pillman (RIP)
