Well, that was nice for a first time watching an NXT PPV.

Very underwhelming Takeover the crowd was awful

@Holofan4life  
I think it might not be Joe it could end up Stu Bennett the next GM and Joe returns on commentary

@Dashie41 YT  
Eh, I thought the matches we’re pretty good. That main event was awesome.

So, Eva Marie is not coming back as a full time wrestler. She’s gonna be a manager for Piper Niven.
 
Honestly, I think the pair could really work. Piper is a good wrestler and Eva is a heat magnet, so if some of Eva’s heat rubs off on Piper, you’re possibly looking at the next big female star.

My one main concern is that they’re gonna turn Piper Niven into a comedy character like Bertha Faye. I really hope they don’t do that, because Piper is a pretty good wrestler.

NXT feels immediately fresher with the inclusion of Samoa Joe. Seeing him choke Adam Cole was so awesome.

Welcome back Joe

That Roman Reigns Rey Mysterio Hell In a Cell match was really good. That powerbomb spot in particular looked absolutely deadly.

AEW Rampage is now confirmed for August 13.

 
John Cena has a beard now

@Holofan4life  
…
 
Cena with facial hair looks very cursed

@Holofan4life  
I don’t see him.

AEW rampage is coming

The ending of Cesaro Rollins was a little odd where Cesaro worked the arm but Rollins ended up winning using his arm, but I thought the match was very good.

The Alexa Bliss match was bad, but I honestly was expecting worse

Sami and Kevin had a very good match. I hope Owens didn’t injure his arm. He was holding it during the match. Hope it’s just selling.

When has hitting someone with the announce table cover ever resulted in a DQ? A shame, because I thought Rhea and Charlotte were having a good match until the lame finish.

McIntyre and Lashley was a pretty great match, but like a lot of matches tonight, it had a weak ass finish.

4/10 for Hell In The Cell mostly RAW were the worst good matches with terrible endings

Hello. Ex pro-wrestling fan turned MMA fan here. I’m just here to left this post about if Justin Gaethje ever joined any pro wrestling organization, he would be one of the greatest and hilarious oversellers of all time. He would give Dolph Ziggler a run for his money.

@Dashie41 YT  
I don’t know how a show with all good matches except the Alexa Bliss match can be a 4/10. That’s way too low.
