They couldn't have captured the moment any better if it had been a posed photo.

The issue with NXT right now is that there is a lack of depth in the Men's Division. It's why they have been using a lot of Leon Slater and it looks like Je'von Evans is getting a massive raise as will Trick Williams. They did just sign Joe Hendry but rumors are that he may not be long for NXT. NXT needs to start building someone new or they will be out of luck when Ricky Saints, Ethan Page and Oba Femi move up. There are also no significant male wrestlers out there who when they sign we all go like "oh he's going to go after the NXT Championship right away" unless that is going to be Leon Slater.

I love Joe being the wrestling version of Weird Al



Is that the Rose Bud Bunny?

Lash is an absolute hoss and got a lot of offense in on Charlotte.

Funnily enough Graves did say the segment reminded him of the Rose Buds.

Hell of a match between Melo and Dragunov! only error for me is it should have finished with that First 48, it was a beautifully executed counter that Dragonuv sold perfectly, the Nothing but Net is too contrived with the guy having to bend over and stagger into position.

I just saw some highlights. I've never seen a superplex turned into a cutter. That right there could have been the finish, too. That First 48 was a heck of a counter!

Absolutely, that would have been a perfect finish as well. It was interesting that Gargano attacked Melo during his post match promo, looked like a more serious approach from him.

This Giula/Chelsea feud is an odd one, but I'd love to see them get a US title match on the Rumble card, and the tag match tonwas solid, decent little showcase for Kiana.

Strong promo from Drew, he's such an *******! I can only recall two previous '3 Stages of Hell' matches, Austin vs Triple H and HBK vs Triple H. When Drew said the match wouldn't be in the US I thought for sure it was going to be in Saudi Arabia at the Rumble, the fact it's on Smackdown in Berlin in 2 weeks time is a real surprise.
