Agreed... sucks he was injured so early in his first NXT Championship run

He has my attention, much moreso than the likes of Keith Lee etc.

Kross is the best addition that WWE has made since AJ Styles/Finn Balor.

He definitely has IT, however given basically every NXT guy in the past, I'm sure he won't be used right on the main roster and just become another guy.

Ive been impressed by Rhea and Priest so far...

Keith Lee not so much

Fratboy · 05-28-2021, 08:44 PM

I like this Rick Boogs with Shinsuke...

He needs a buddy

MasterOfTheDark · 05-29-2021, 12:10 AM

Kross was a good pickup. Personally, I'm a fan of Eli Drake...errr... LA Knight.

He needs to bring back the "dummy button" though.

fazzle · 05-29-2021, 01:39 PM

I'll admit I only know Kross from his NXT work and nothing from other promotions, but I just don't see it AT ALL. He's incredibly boring to me in the ring and that entrance is just goofy as hell.

Kross isn't my favorite guy, but I see why they push him. He has a good look and intensity. I can see why he wouldnt be everyone's favorite type of wrestler.

WWE Lost Treasures has Jake the snake Roberts on looking for the smashed guitar from HTM leading up to their WM3 match. Jake HATES HTM thinks HTM hit him to injury him with guitar on purpose. Told HHH that he hopes he outlives HTM so he can piss on his grave.

Jericho · 05-31-2021, 07:55 PM

Orton/Riddle just get better and better every week.

Twice in a row announcers asked Natalya and tamina a question just to cut them off immediately to call the match

packman80 · 06-01-2021, 05:44 AM

I am thinking boring Drew will lose again at HITC but then get another title shot in July just so he can then beat Lashley in front of a live crowd for the title. Seems Lashley is just being used as a place holder until this can happy so Drew can get a live crowd pop from winning. I am tired of seeing Drew in the title scene. He's been in it for 1 1/2 years straight now. It's time to kick him back down to mid-card status.

I would agree the Drew run has gone on for too long however I’m not sure who you replace him with. I was looking over both rosters and the baby face candidates are really bare. In my opinion this is perhaps as shallow as ever. There is just nothing out there. They had to heat up Kofi again because they have nobody else. It’s the same on the Smackdown side since Bryan appears done and Edge is a part-timer. They had to turn to Cesaro who’s been a mid-card guy for 10 years. I just don’t see a credible guy out there who they could immediately move into a top role. They have done a terrible job building anyone up.

Jericho · 06-01-2021, 12:07 PM

Im really hoping they aren't planning on a Shayna/Alexa feud. That would do Shayna no favors at all.

Gurds · 06-02-2021, 10:32 AM

Some releases happening today:

Braun Stowman
Aleister Black
Ruby Riott
Lana
Santana Garrett

There might be more coming...

mnvikingstwins · 06-02-2021, 10:34 AM

Couple new ones

Strowman makes zero sense. If Ruby's gone then it's time for Liv to get her much deserved singles run but she could be in the next batch

Love them releasing Black of building up and having him cost Big E the IC title two weeks ago

These names make no sense. I think they are gearing up for a sale of the company, and its going to be NBC universal buying out the McMahons.

mnvikingstwins · 06-02-2021, 11:03 AM

Only explanation for Braun is that they think Parker is ready and can skip NXT and get pushed to the moon on Eaw

Dirt sheets have said he is still getting trained, and though there has been speculation that the Diamond Mine stuff involves him, I think its going to be a while.

mikecala98 · 06-02-2021, 11:52 AM

Vince is selling the company soon. Cut weight to ease the purchaser load. Likely Disney who will absorb the billion NBC has invested.

chiefsncards275 · 06-02-2021, 11:55 AM

I want to see Braun go to AEW as the new leader of the dark order.

Lana to AEW seems like a no brainer with Miro there currently.

Braun pretty has done all he is going to do there so won't really miss him.

Black I was never a big fan of, never really got the hype about him.

Im a big Riott fan and sucks that she never really got a chance to be a singles star. She held the Riott squad together. I really dont think Liv can survive long on her own.

Lana has been a waste of a roster spot for years so good riddance there.

Garrett is decent enough in the ring so I expect someone will grab her when they can.

Murphy just seemed rather lost in the shuffle for much of his time there.

Overall Im sure AEW will grab a few if not all of them.
