update: beast has won his breed, and moves on to the main competition tonight at msg, per dustin

 

NXT Roadblock special to take place at the Theater at MSG.

 

bayley not only went back down to nxt to bring up roxanne, but ate a pin to cora jade tonight to bring cora into the women’s title match at vengeance day.

that kind of generosity that bayley and becky regularly show is in stark contrast to the other two original “horsewomen” of nxt.

 

Called it!

 

Spoiler

RICKY STARKS HOLY ****

 

I'm guessing there's no non compete clauses on those AEW Contracts.

 

don’t think punk had one.

one day after release, did not expect that. and just showing up in the crowd, not at a ple or anything. would have thought black would have been the first to come back, because of zelina.

 

We may see TK on Twitter tonight ranting about talent tampering again, LOL.

And I don't think we'll know exactly for sure if Punk had one or not.

 

don’t think he will. he inexplicably kept starks off tv for a year, wouldn’t make much sense to complain about him getting a job now.

 

i think starks is perfectly suited to nxt for a good long while. i don't think he'd want to do it after having spent years on the main roster, but if rusev/miro were brought back into the mix at nxt, that would be a great fit too. ridge holland is never going to be the guy in wwe, no matter how much they push him. he's boring on the mic, an average wrestler, and (whether it's fair or not) everyone associates him with what happened to big e. rusev presents oba with an instant threat and a legitimate rival, which he needs.

got lost in the starks debut, but i liked the storytelling in the formation of shawn spears' stable last night, and the izzi dame betrayal after the cage match. that should set the d'angelo family up with story for a while, assuming there's at least one deflection from the family (seems likely to be stacks).

 

The lawsuit by Grant is still going though.

 

hopefully he'll be tied up in civil court until the day he dies. wouldn't blame ms. grant if she settled, though.

 

Changes behind the scenes at TNA including firings of Josh Matthews and Christy Hemme.

 

josh alexander's final tna match is on tonight's show. cora/xia brookside should be good, cora's second of three televised matches this week.

 

chris bey posted a video on twitter of himself standing up from a seated position, which is a ****ing miracle. he's spent the last three weeks transitioning from his wheelchair, and learning to walk again.

he also posted this update on his situation (large images, tagged):

Spoiler

getting a lot of love from his colleagues across all promotions, as he should be.

 

I wish him well, it does sound like miracles are happening for him.

 

would love to see it

reunited with ethan page to bring back the north would be awesome, or could feud against him a la edge/christian

 

Michelle McCool going into the 2025 HOF.

 

very cool. she really deserves it, doesn't always get mentioned alongside trish and lita, but did a lot to change how women's wrestling was viewed in the wwe.
