That's a hell of an ending honestly.

Turns out Candice and Johnny are Bonnie and Clyde '20 :whoo:


They ride together so they're going to die together

Honestly pretty shocked they didn't have Kross lay them both out afterwards & seem headed towards Candice/Johnny vs Scarlett/Kross. Figured the end result after all of this would be Kross fukking them both up for a while before they decided they needed each other again to take him out :pachaha:


Don't know what they do with Ciampa then unless they write him out for a while to let other stuff play out & then figure out where to put him.

Edge/Orton came off like they saw the first Performance Center brawl from Gargano and Ciampa and tried to run a 'sports-entertainment' version of that. Best thing that could have ever happened to Edge/Orton (besides not doing that match in front of crickets) was them canceling Takeover. If this Gargano/Ciampa ran the night before they did that Edge/Orton match it would have looked so much worse by comparison.

Both matches went too long, but the history from the NXT match here just hit different; it's easier to suffer through something you care about being long-winded. It's why people en masse sat through nearly 3 hours of Endgame - because they were invested in the characters.

I'll hold opinions on the match's direction to myself to see how it develops, but I'm glad their forever fight is finally finito; shyt was long in the tooth and Ciampa especially needs to get away from Johnny because dude is a star, whether he was 5'7 or 6'4. Dude is what they want so badly for Becky to be: a Chaotic Neutral with an asskicker's mentality and skill-set, but also a story to their past and their rise that people will care about enough to polish off the rough edges of the heelish shyt they do. And using Gargano to hopefully elevate Kross while leaving Candice to carry the Scarlett bits is good use of everyone involved and keeps Gargano occupied and away from the same title picture/players he's been orbiting for years now.

That needed to be an end of an era to nxt and adjust the show into something different now. Ciampa should show up on SD Friday, AT MINIMUM
