Explains his mood as of late.

He's been looking for a place to nest.

It doesn't seem like there's a real heel or face here. Seems like WWE doesn't want to commit to turning either one.

Bayley won the last two head-to-head matches, so it would be powerful if Sasha has to turn full heel during the match to defeat her. And since the bank statement gets cheers, she could break out the bankrupt.

THAT knocked Strowman over?

Alexa is surprisingly dense, like a white dwarf star or a Montreal bagel.

Big NXT news:

Spoiler

NXT North American Title announced. Winner will be determined in a six man ladder match at Takeover: New Orleans. EC3, Adam Cole, Ricochet, Velveteen Dream, Killian Dain and Lars Sullivan.

 

[TheVileOne]

I wouldn't have given it that name, but something like that is long overdue.

Not a fan of that name either, but the chances of this match being an absolute disaster is slim.

Spoiler

I don't know how Lars will do, but after seeing what Dain did at War Games, I am excited to see what he can do with a ladder.

Nice.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Nice.

I wonder what this does to the UK Title though.

Speaking of that.....

Spoiler

Adam Cole is doing double duty at Takeover: New Orleans as it will be him and O'Reilly vs. AoP vs. Pete Dunne and Roderick Strong for the Dusty Classic Trophy and NXT Tag Team Championships.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Edit.

 

[chamber-music]

About time NXT got a midcard belt. Not that pumped about the name.

The cruiserweights are getting a tag title after mania as well.

 

[nite-owl]

If there is something WWE doesn't need right now it's more titles.

 

[Flash525]

Ever see the picture of the hamster trying to eat the banana?

 

[Mani-Man]

If there is something WWE doesn't need right now it's more titles.

NXT does, but yeah...there are too many titles in this company.
If they would at least do them all justice then it would be a lot better...but the way they treat most titles is not good enough imo to warrant so many.

 

[chamber-music]

I think booking is more of a problem than the titles themselves.

Titles have are glorified props. How you use them is what gives them value.

Jon Bravo's evidence video is taking a long time because he's making a documentary of the scandal.

Did they ever confirm if the girl was lying about Enzo? People keep saying she was.

I think its still under police investigation.

Not the police, but her former BFF revealed she was lying by showing everyone on YouTube her text messages where she bragged about having consensual sex with a WWE Superstar.

I know which is why I am asking have the charges been dropped yet. He said she only pressed charges because her parents threatened to kick her out.

That 6 man ladder match for the new NXT title is going to be an awesome match.
