I think they should've had the ref asking Bayley if she think she can keep going after so many leg drops to the back of the head...concussion potential

Such BS they had Apollo job to Corbin.... Baron Corbin is shyt, he won't ever be a superstar...Apollo has potential to be a world champ. That decision wasn't best for business.

Corbin kicked out of Apollo's finisher like it was nothing...then he hits his bullshyt finisher and that's it. Shades of Booker T vs HHH. I wonder if Al Sharpton is gonna address the way the WWE books black wrestlers. Jesse Jackson? Anyone? shyt.

Show was pretty good
Main event was fire. Good match for Finn, would like to see another Finn/Joe match. But zayn/Finn looks like the next match up. Or Corbin since he beat Apollo.

Finn has the dopest entrance

Apollo jobbing made the rest of the card seem like shyt to me.

Best match was Emma and Asuka

Avoiding the thread like crazy until i finish but wtf that Bayley/Nia match :wtf:

Took so many of her finishers, made her finisher worthless and then taps her out wtf :mindblown::mindblown:

Makes no sense. Thought they were going for zayn/Owens kinda victory for Nia

Bayley comparisons to cena are starting to look very accurate. Take ten finishers, barely get any offense in and win.

Surprised Corbin got the win :mindblown:

Enzo and cass lost :mindblown:

Good show so far but some of these decisions guys...

Kinda made sense though, Nia delivered a ton of moves but never went for a solid pin. She pinned Bayley with her foot and barely covered Bayley's shoulders with her hands after the samoan drops. Then she lost to a guillotine because she didn't put her hand under the grip. I think the storyline behind the finish is that her inexperience cost her the title :yeshrug:

After hitting so many finishers I don't think she had to go for a solid pin but I did find the story compelling. That's the purpose of the matches and they accomplished that so :manny:

Nia will be ok, she's looked strong thus far. The tapping was a bit bothersome but :manny:

This was my only complaint about the show

Corbin is ass and a snorefest

That's just my opinion tho...people may really dig him

I actually think Corbin has the natural a$$hole personality to be a star on some level. Maybe not a superstar, but a star. Physically though he needs to lose weight.

And I dontknow that Vince will put the belt on Apollo. Big E was the first ever NXT Champ and had main event potential on the main roster, and now look at him. Apollo will be the next Kofi Kingston in a sense.

Yeah Corbin has a natural a$$hole personality but he doesn't or can't draw heat. Kevin Owens has a natural a$$hole personality too and he knows how to draw heat with his promos and in ring actions and he can wrestle with the best of them. Corbin can't do any of those things yet and I don't know if he ever will.

I'm optimistic about Crews, but that Kofi comparison may be spot on. I can dream tho.
