Dream's return was perfect. He looked like a megastar. Totally wasn't expecting it either, thought he was miles off a return.
Not for well over a decade has a weekly wrestling show managed to keep me so invested. Every time NXT ends I just can't wait to see what happens next. Brilliant show all round again.

Dunne/Riddle is the cringiest thing I've seen WWE do in quite some time. The epitome of "trying too hard to be funny." God, that opening segment was brutal to watch. Horrible.
I like Garza but I am kinda done seeing him face Swerve. Swerve just does nothing for me, personally. But I liked Garza's promo afterwards. The guy has got a charisma to him!
Not into Dijakovic/Dane at all. Almost forgot Dane worked there. And Dijakovic matches just aren't my thing. They all feel the exact same, beat for beat, and I just can't really get into his matches.
I liked Mercedes/Kacy! Really let Mercedes be dominant and look great!
I think I can go the rest of my life without seeing another Undisputed Era brawl that has security come out. Kind of tired of seeing those every week, it seems.
Jordan/Breeze was great! Jordan has been killing it on UK and Breeze/Daivari have been putting on good matches together on 205! So both guys have been doing great stuff and this match was no exception.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the Flair/Bianca/Rhea segment. I really don't like the "We Are NXT" thing. "Brand loyalty" never works for me as a story or angle or as something that is believable. Bianca/Rhea working together because Flair was bad-mouthing NXT talent, just didn't land for me. Felt kinda corny/hokey.
Velveteen's return was done well! UE were so ready to bump for him, Bobby Fish was getting knocked down before Dream could even hit him!

Raw and Smackdown has its highs and lows but NXT is all high. I look forward to watching that the most each week. The only negative I keep noticing is how often the commentary team trip over their words. It's like they're rushing to get the sentence out and keep making mistakes.

The Riddle/Dunne segments were PURE CRINGE! Yikes! Barely even jokes written for them, just uncomfortable to watch and so forced. And The Triple H cameo at the end was just cringey. The faster they stop with Riddle/Dunne, I'll be happy!
Not feeling the Dream/Roddy feud. The having someone's wife on your tights was done in such a memorable fashion, like a moment WWE shows a lot from Rick Rude, that I feel like you can't do it again. Not to mention, Roode's feud with Roddy Roode was threatening to sleep with Roddy's wife too. This whole thing feels too "been there, done that." Nothing new at all. Very boring.
I really liked Dakota/Candice. I thought Dakota really needed that win! She has lost so many matches! Even after turning, she hasn't looked good. Loses matches, even couldn't cost her team correctly at War Games. This is the first time Dakota has actually looked good since turning.

Does Matt Riddle remind anyone else of Steve-O from Jackass?

Maybe I’m alone in this, but I enjoy the riddle and Dunne spring and segments. Sure it looks scripted, but so does throwing you opponent into the ropes and them running back to you to be hit again 🙄. Good little comedy skits to get people to enjoy the team. We all know they can wrestle 5 star matches, this just adds some comedy to their team.

If you go on Reddit or Twitter, seemingly everyone enjoys those segments. So you are definitely not alone. I think I am the on in the minority in not liking them. lol My issues isn't that they seem scripted either. Impact does segments like this all the time, I'm used to it. I am usually a fan of Jeremy Borash produced skits, he produced the Riddle/Dunne ones, my issue is that they are not funny to me. lol Just not my sense of humor. But I know a ton of people are asking for more and mini-movies on the Network of those two. So you definitely aren't alone, buddy!

He's done tons of other similar throwbacks, Hollywood Hogan, Savage, etc. I'll say I much prefer Dream when he gets to just be Dream and not Dream plus throwbacks, but that has historically been a big part of his gimmick. I agree I'm not feeling it, just pointing out it's not the first time it's happened. The match itself should be fantastic though, two great in-ring talents. Dakota definitely needed that win, totally agree.

Dakota definitely needed that win, totally agree. Oh yeah! I find Dream more interesting when he is doing his own thing. Like the Black feud was great, but that is the only feud I've really enjoyed from him. I just haven't liked him as much as I was expecting to after the Black feud. I thought for sure he was gonna be my favorite, but I only find him to be okay. My thing was, obviously he does stuff from the past, but to me, some things are too big/memorable that you can't really do them again to the same effect. Like if there was a small angle people might not remember from 82, go right ahead. But huge moments, like you can't blow up the DX Express....again! Like it was such a moment that is talked about and shown a lot that I feel you can't really do it again. That's how I feel about the family on the tights. And again, Roode kinda did this exact angle already. I do see what you mean though, I do get that that is part of Dream's schtick! Maybe I just don't enjoy that part, not that we are talking about it. lol

Well, TakeOver: Tampa Bay will be Johnny Wrestling’s swan song in NXT.
Hopefully it’s a huge gimmick match and not a “career ending/loser leaves” stipulation.

The BROserweights is my favorite thing in the entire company right now The only issue is there's not very much competition in the tag division. Broserweights vs DIY would've been a barnburner, but alas.
