Why is it every time I watch NXT, Tyler Breeze is in a #1 contender's match?

She's also Australian, which makes her 5% cuter.

He's not working ROH anymore tho
Man, if it wasn't for Zayn's injury. The main event would've been fire. Even with how brief it was, you could see that it could've topped their first encounter.
Breeze vs Balor was disappointing, expected much better from them but it wasn't bad.

That's not what I said in my post . I said he'd work indies and be in nxtHe's not working ROH anymore tho
Watching now
Cant wait t see Finn Balor's entrance at a Wrestlemania
Hopefully they book him for Dallas
He basically said the only way he won't be at Wrestlemania 32 is if he's dead

So I've watched this show twice now, and I can't for the life of me understand the hype around the Sasha Banks/Becky Lynch match. It wasn't bad by any means, but people are calling this shyt like "the best women's match they've ever seen" and the like, as if much better women's matches don't exist. I dunno, the match felt too choreographed, as if they were going over spots in their head before they did them, the selling wasn't always great and there was some botchiness that took me out of the action too often. Felt too much like a performance of spots overall, rather than a true fight or struggle (see the main event for an example of a match that feels like a desperate fight). But, as I said, it wasn't bad. I just don't think that anyone would care too much if that were a men's match.
I will say though, the finish was A+ quality, so kudos to everyone involved there.
Other thoughts:
-Who decided it was a good idea to put Dana Brooke on TV? She isn't Eva Marie status or anything, but she's really, really, really green. Looks (and she looks SO good) and figure can't mask a damn thing once she gets into the ring. Hope they don't get a smartass brainwave and make her work singles or anything...
-Baron Corbin is damn near useless. Can't throw a convincing strike, can't project like a fighter, just a waste of all that pomp and circumstance. I watched that match with Rhyno, and all I could think was, "man, Rhyno's past it and all, but he still looks pretty good for an overweight, past-his-prime guy." Corbin was just a straight up non-entity in there.
-The Dubstep Cowboys' entrance is the fukking worst. I almost skipped the tag title match on principle after that shyt nearly blinded me.
-When did Enzo Amore become a quality wrestler? His selling was pretty good and, while he only had like 4 or 5 moves, everything he did was hit crisply and with impact. Good shyt from Enzo tonight.
-Whoever put together the finish to the tag title match should be shot. Cass tags in Enzo, who's still blatantly wiped from getting beat on all match to do the Rocket Launcher, gets distracted by Alexa Bliss (understandable...) taking out Carmella, then turns away from her to let her take out Enzo, EVEN THOUGH SHE JUST SHOWED THAT SHE'S A THREAT TO YOU GUYS AND YOUR TITLE CHALLENGE?
Made Cass look like the biggest idiot in the world. Might as well have had Carmella turn for all that (or better yet, just give Enzo and Cass the belts. The dudes are fukking over). Match was fine before all of that.
-The main event finish was an excellent way to write out Zayn for his shoulder surgery. Amazing, frenetic fight that made Zayn look like a resilient, never-say-die babyface that gameplanned for Owens and only got taken out by a slight mistake, and made Owens look like a dangerous and smart cheap shot artist by having him wait for his chance to take Zayn out while getting beaten on all match. Great work from all involved, my MOTN, as I'm always a sucker for a frenetic, truly out-of-control and desperate brawl.
-Nice to see Joe get that Rhyno deal, and I can't wait for the inevitable Owens/Joe matchup, but they have to do something about his music. At least play it a little louder so it has more impact or something.
Good show overall (yes, despite all of the complaining). LOVED the main event, and everything else was solid to good with excellent booking backing it all. NXT continues to deliver.

Anybody else got the feeling that
using Joe and Rhyno as a test run for what he might do for the main roster? Once Cokeboy gets put away in a loser leaves match with Undertaker, he'll be able to freely bring in who he wants because it's best for business

You gotta remember that up until a week ago this was a Triple Threat Match (you can tell that by the Finn Balor spot on the ramp which was obviously meant for the No DQ Triple Threat since it was a total count out here). So Hideo can't compete, one third of the planned match is gone (and this would've most likely been Hideo's moment to shine and hit the GTS) as well as nearly all of the in-ring psychology of the friendship/rivalry of Finn and Hideo.
