Kelani wants the smoke. Could be the Kick-Off match.

In the realm of squared circles, where dreams take flight,
Where warriors of WWE NXT step into the spotlight.
With passion and fury, they give their all,
In the latest chapter of this wrestling brawl.

From the raucous crowd's roar to the mat's resounding smack,
Each superstar strives to keep their championship on track.
In the ring, they dance, a fierce and thrilling display,
Crafting stories of triumph in their own unique way.

Familiar faces and rising stars collide,
In the ever-evolving world of sports-entertainment's tide.
NXT's latest chapter, a tale of grit and grace,
In this arena of legends, they find their place.

So, as the spotlight shines on NXT's grand stage,
We witness the passion of this wrestling age.
With each slam, each hold, and each high-flying leap,
They create moments in time that we'll forever keep.

Am I the only one who sees Randy Orton w/ a beard on the Bron/Corbin poster?

Kelani wants the smoke. Could be the Kick-Off match.

Too bad she didn't get the chance to stand up to Dana's overbearing ass. The crowd would have loved that.

 

[CBoz]

Looking like Tyler Bate will be Butch's corner man

 

[Killah Ray]

I have this terrible feeling that we end with Trick/Melo holding the titles up and then Trick lays out Melo to sign off…

 

[Cal Cutta]

Card looks great. Wish they’d saved that Dijak/Eddy Thorpe strap match for this show.

A couple of reasons it likely wasn't, first Tiffany and Becky is Extreme Rules and they very well could make Bron vs Corbin Falls Count Anywhere or some other stipulation. They probably didn't want to bloat the card with too many similar stips.

Also they pretty much have settled on 6 match cards ever since the Takeover era ended, which typically had 5 match cards.

If they do that it's too early. It could lead to a match down the line but I feel no one will turn until after that match. Just a theory.

All true. I think it would be fun if they started a subtle trend of Dijak having wild stip matches on big nxt shows.

Match is added and official. Nothing about it being on the Pre-Show/Kick-Off.

Edit: HBK confirmed it will be on the Kick-Off from the call I posted below.

 

[CBoz]

Also the next PLE, Deadline officially announced.

I hope the Iron Survivor Challenge returns. That would be dope in a big arena. Last year this was in the PC.

The graphics would imply that it will return with the Superstars in the penalty box.

 

[Killah Ray]

I kinda hope Dragon Lee gets slotted for the next title defense. Him vs Melo or Ilja would be dope as fukk…

I hate putting this out there but it's all within the realm of possibility but Rhea could perhaps return at No Mercy and help Dom retain.

Hey you gotta think of all scenarios.
