WWE/NXT: WWE Draft!!!

[packerbacker180]

I saw about Rhea. That's a shame. Seemed she was going to be champ for a longtime. No idea where they go from here. I did catch the main event last night. I thought the way they shot his entrance, with (Jimmy?) Uso leaving and then Sami outside was pretty cool. And then the Moxley walk through the crowd was neat. It's cool when Mox does it, but being in his home town is was much more of a special moment. Watching it I thought to myself, this is the kind of thing you'd never see with Vince in charge. I'd read before that people were expecting a Gable turn, but I thought they set it up pretty well. Normally, you'd see the turn in the ring after the handshake or whatever, so the way they shot this you didn't see Gable coming up behind him. Another thing you wouldn't see with Vince and Kevin Dunn around. Of course, with Vince he was Shorty G and a joke, so...

[BrandonDaCollector]

I know, this was unexpected. I was hoping they'd build Jade up to face her but now that ain't gonna happen or at least for a long while I hated the Shorty G stuff, Gable has been pretty good in the last couple of years and it will be interesting to see where he goes from here especially since the rest of Alpha Academy are babyfaces Yep, your right about that PB...like they said, it's a new era...the Paul Levesque Era so things might really be shaping up now

[BrandonDaCollector]

Well here is this from Raw



This was a huge moment here on Monday Night Raw, perhaps one of the biggest of ever of all-time The big women Nia Jax & Piper Niven go at it plus much more

[packerbacker180]

I caught a little of this match and then the ending on Monday. Good for Becky. Not really sure else they could've put it on besides her.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yeah, it was down to Becky & Liv...both had their issues with Ripley...once again Liv didn't win.

You've been reading Me talking about Trick Williams...he had such a great partnership & feud with Carmelo Hayes that rival Kevin Owen & Sami Zayn and now Trick just beat "The Mad Dragon Ilja Dragunov at NXT Spring Spring Breakin' Dragunov was a great champion and made the show fun...I expect him to be on the main roster soon. Listen to the crowd say WHOOP THAT TRICK That's what I have been saying



See what I mean, when he get's to the main roster, will the main roster crowd have this same kind of effort for him or will they even know him

[BrandonDaCollector]

First off Drew McIntyre just signed a new contract extension

So the Rock is the head of TKO Holdings...well for a long while his daughter Ava Raine has been the GM in NXT. She barely wrestled, after Joe Gacy disbanded his cool group The Schisim, she never wrestled again then suddenly she's a GM that was under tutelage of Lord Regal an dis a step below HBK. She looks like her daddy a little but, she really looks like a female Uso more. Here she is with Adam Pierce & Nick Aldis



Here's the entire WWE draft from both Smackdown & Raw...some were obvious while some were not. Some I didn't think from NXT would be there



NOW, here is arguably the most important & exciting draft: "The Mad Dragon Ilja Dragunov Yesterday I just posted that he lost the NXT Title. I've noticed that when a champ loses their belt they move on to the main roster. He was a great NXT champ, one of the best just not competing but as entertaining as a whole. Now, he originally came from NXT UK. He had an absolute classic war with Gunther there when he was NXT UK Champ. It was one of the greatest matches of ever of all-time IMO. If you never seen their rivalry it is definitely one to check out, it's one of the best in the modern era. Now, Dragunov has some words here

[packerbacker180]

I figured he was going up when he appeared on the Raw after WM. He should be glad Vince is gone or he'd probably be walking around with a Russian flag. I never doubted Drew would resign. He's way too big of a human to compete in AEW, he'd dwarf just about everyone in height and build, lol.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, your right about that stuff. Yes, WWE has been predictive when it comes to that. I hope he goes over with the crowd because he has such a huge amount of intensity and is very entertaining. I would love for him to battle Gunther again, if it's done right like is was in NXT UK, it will be the feud & matches of the year IMO

[packerbacker180]

I did not see this live, just the replay the next day, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Ethan Page on NXT. It won't get me to watch regularly, but I'll follow it a little more closely now. He was criminally underused in AEW. He's too good on the mic and as a heel to not succeed in NXT, so it will be interesting to see how far he goes.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Oh like I said before, NXT is really good, I prefer it way more than the main roster stuff, really I always have. Yes I agree. Amazing how Page just came about, I had no idea he was coming to the WWE till this moment. As cool as this is, this is what I'm talking about, people being placed at the top spot without having a tune up match or even a match at all. If you don't know that's Trick Williams, the NXT Champ whom I've been talking about before, he's like the biggest babyface in the company...Whoop That Trick That's his real life girlfriend Lash legend. She's very big, about 6 feet tall and has really improved her wrestling skills. She's part of Meta-Four which a big heel group with Noam Dar from the 205 Live & NXT UK days along with Oro Mensah from NXT UK and Jakara Jackson whom just came about recently. Amazing that Vic Joseph almost said that "ain't he from AEW?" till Booker T stopped him

This happen too which I think this was as big as that but not as surprising. Ava Raine is the GM of NXT and she's only wrestled a few times yet she's placed in power like that...go figure, she's The Rock's daughter so that's why Jordynne Grace was revealed to be Roxanne Perez' next challenger since she's the NXT champ. Here we go again with the non-tuneup, just placed them in front even though she is a Champion. Perez is called the Prodigy and she was trained by Booker T which this was all played out a while back on the program. She's a tweener now but really kinda heelish doing anything it takes to win and doing what she wants and what needs to be done. I've liked her since her debut, she's a great wrestler and does a tin of moves and i find her cute, hot and I find her unintentional funny too. She always a treat to watch...My attention is always on her. NXT Battleground is going to be something since it's gonna be like UFC and I hope Grace doesn't win. If she wins then could you imgaine the NXT Women's Champ in NXT If this happens then it's a given that WWE has some sort of relationship going on with TNA cause this is the second time she's here which the 2024 Royal Rumble was the first and is presented being a TNA Knockout and NOT a WWE talent
