Is it basically confirmed that Balor's making the jump?

Is it basically confirmed that Balor's making the jump?

I'd think so, he was not used in the recent tapings at all.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Very good match. Balor assaults on the knee looked brutal, but I can't help but feel that Balor is a bit bland. Guy just doesn't appeal much to me other than his Demon entrance.

And that was my biggest problem with the match

Working on the knee played no part in the outcome. He still used the same knee to attack and use his finisher. If they weren't going to tell a story that way, they may as well not used it in the match

He was fighting thru the pain.

Tbh, that's a Nak thing. And in general, a modern NJ thing where dudes will no sell everything in the match once things hit the finishing stretch. Balor is even worse at it. The majority of his big matches in NXT have had dudes focusing on his legs and it not having any impact whatsoever on his ability to do multiple double stops and jumping around.

His out of nowhere references kill me.

I'm normally not bother with the crowd chants but idk but shyt just annoyed the hell out of me tonight with all the chants what happen to just old school cheering.

There was i think only one time he actually sold the knee after using it to hurt Finn. It was my only pet peeves about the match. Why have Finn work over the knee so much if it isn't going to play a bigger role in the outcome of the match.

FIGHT FOREVER is a fantastic new chant tho

 

[RammerJammer]

Pretty good match, I liked Balor working on the knee, some of it looked pretty brutal (even if Nak didn't sell it much), Nak of course did his thing as well. All in all, a match that I expect to see on the NXT's greatest matches collection

 

[R=G]

That dude been praising his whole time here acting like he did no wrong...everything I ever said had context. I mean..how would this place exist if not for me in the first place?

Gonna be a great sight at WM when Nakamura gets treated like a god by the smark crowd.
