The Wrestling Thread has much larger nipples

Heatwave was a really good show.

The main event between Je'Von and Oba tore the house down, fantastic match, and Blake
Monroe shone in her singles PLE debut against Jordynne Grace in another quality match.

The opening triple threat got things off to a good start with a fast paced, athletic contest, I just don't get why Lola went over, Jaida Parker is a lot more over and Kelani is more talented, she shouldn't get lost in the mix.

The mixed tag was fun, if a bit awkward, given the fans booed everything Tavion and Tara Mae Steele did, and were 100% behind Chelsea to the point that the usually easily despised Ethan Page couldn't get any heat despite trying hard. You can see the huge potential in Tavion so hopefully this doesn't derail him, but Tara is extremely green, it didn't help that Chelsea is so over, but you can see she's very much a rookie.




Apparently they are until March next year, not sure after that.



Another good match, Jacey Jayne has really stepped it up as the double Champ, but she should have been the one to take the pin.

I gotta give Heatwave a full watch tomorrow. No one is ever going to get cheered going against Chelsea. She's too likeable and too good at what she does.

Thanks for the reminder. I wonder if NXT events will stay on Peacock?

Yes.

Dark State does nothing for me.

Oh, and the Speed Titles are coming to NXT. Well, in kayfabe El Grande Americano won that title but that was when El Grande was played by Chad Gable. Now it's played by Ludwig Kaiser, who has made the character over in Mexico, as we saw at Triple Mania last weekend.

Heatwave was quite good. Loved Oba vs Jevon.

@Hunter Rider Lola probably went over because she's dating one of the bigger stars on the main roster is my guess.

I totally forgot Raw was at 3pm eastern today

WWE has severed ties with the promotion responsible for the Raja Jackson incident as they had been a part of the WWE ID program.

Solid Raw last night, I liked the opening segment with Roman and Bronson Reed, the big Aussie is making the most of this huge opportunity.

Good match between AJ and Balor, shame they don't have a proper program together.

Becky and Nikki had a spicy promo exchange, I thought the match would be at Wrestlepalooza, but it's been added to Clash in Paris.

Rhea vs Roxy was good, I love how Roxy uses her low centre of gravity in her offense to mask her diminutive size, and her limb work is great. Iyo saving Rhea and Asuka throwing another fit about it is inching ever closer to things completely imploding between Iyo and Asuka, and I'm curious where Kairi lands in this.

Pearce telling Stephanie he has an opponent in mind for her to face for the World title is a bit odd, surely they should have had a tournament, or at least another battle royal to decide and opponent given she earned her shot.

The main event between Bron and Knight was another good match, Knight has kicked it up a notch lately, and I thought Jey heeding Roman’s advice and superkicking Punk was the right route for the lead in to the Fatal 4-Way, I just wouldn't have had Knight eat a pin, this was an obvious DQ finish.

Interesting that the WWE chose Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night for a PLE in Paris as the painting itself is located at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

However.....I get it. Van Gogh spent his last several years in France, eventually dying there and Starry Night's setting is in France (although Southern France) and Paris is an internationally known city and has been for centuries.

Dragon Lee won a match on Raw

In another news, it looks like the Speed Championships will be coming to NXT.

In another news, it looks like the Speed Championships will be coming to NXT.

Honestly, I am interested in hearing how Booker T and Vic Joseph react to El Grande Americano, especially this version played by Ludwig Kaiser, who speaks surprisingly good Spanish.
