Overall ratings were good considering the main event was spoiled a week early.

I really hope they give Lee some time to have a title reign. I do not want to see Kross get the shot SummerSlam weekend and take the title. Frankly I don’t really care about Kross in the first place, but let it go until WarGames or something before the inevitable happens.

They dropped to 24th overall from the teens last week, but that was only actually a .02 drop overall in the key demo, so it was a more competitive evening in general compared to last Wednesday for other tv shows.

Overall ratings were good considering the main event was spoiled a week early. Double post, but didn't want to just edit given the info. Can confirm via WON that the spoilers definitely were not an issue. Lee vs. Cole had 933,000 viewing and their high point in the key demo as well. Very strong numbers and higher than Io vs. Sasha from the week before.

I merged the GAB thread to this. That way it stays here for those catching up late.

Tegan & Io was really good.
DD & Lee was too, but what else is new?
I'm liking Kross so far, but I think having him go for the title already is a bit premature.
No Gargano, Ciampa, Balor, Maverick, Lumis, or any UE and the show was still good.
I'd like to see Brian Kendrick appear on NXT more.

I do miss Lumis, two weeks without him is too much lol. Good show again though with two great matches like last week. NXT pretty much always gives you one or two a week.

Grimes-Priest was good. We’ll see if that story continues.
Lee-Djakovic was great as usual. Those guys just mesh so well whenever they meet. Kross-Djakovic should be good next week.
Robert Stone just keeps being entertaining. Never change Robert.
They are building Thatcher nicely. I’m all for Thatcher-Lorcan round 2.
Io-Tegan was also a great match. Io-Dakota will be great too. The women’s division of NXT is just so strong.
Another terrific, entertaining episode. NXT is just so consistently good.

F**k. That might have actually been my favourite NXT episode since they launched on TV.
The intro was really well done. Poor Dexter just staring at the camera.
I'm a big fan of Priest, far more than when he was Punishment Martinez. Though I couldn't help but chuckle inside everytime they said things about him being punishing or bringing out his own brand of punishment.
Was awesome to see Indi wrestle tonight, I've been excited for her to start on TV. I think she's got a ton of potential. Can I just watch Robert Stone for two hours straight? Like holy crap.
Definitely my favourite Lee/Dijak match. I liked it better than their PWG one too. Thought Dijak came across really well tonight, and it felt different than their other matches.
Thatcher is a gem, and I like that they had him against an oly style wrestler tonight.
Io/Tegan was super solid of course, no surprise there.
I would definitely buy some Dexter Lumis art if he decided to start selling it. I'm so glad he seems to be getting over.
I don't know why I noticed tonight, but Beth felt really good on commentary today. It was a tough start (Especially working with Mauro who can tend to take over commentary and run solo in a hurry) but she seems to be really getting a lot better.
I marked out hard when Kross started talking to Dijak in Romanian, and Dijak responded. I know Dijak himself is born in the states, but he goes hard with the Croatian angle, and it wouldn't be out of the question for him to understand exactly what Kross was saying. Romanian is a romance language, compared to Croatian/Serbian which is a slavic language, but there are definitely populations in former Yugoslav nations that speak various Romanian dialects. It could just be Dijak knew Kross wanted to fight, but if they actually knew the language connection possibilities that would be super cool. Either way that's what I took from it and I lost it. (My Grandpa came to Canada from Serbia post WW2 so I like learning about the history/language etc)

Another very good episode
Grimes and Priest was good again wouldn't mind one more match then they can go their own way.
I love Robert Stone every time he's on tv he's one of the highlights of the show
Just not a big fan of Thatcher I just wanna see Thatcher/Dunne when that time comes
Lee/DD was great again seems like they can't have a bad match. Loved Kross and DD meeting up,really looking forward to their match
Io and Nox was really good too it's great seeing Io have this much success

One of the best things about NXT for me is how they set up feuds/matches I never knew I wanted, pretty much seamlessly, and almost every week.
Lumis/Dain is a great fit, and I'd love to see Dain as Stone's muscle.
I'm also so buzzing for Dijakovic/Kross! I imagine it'll probably be a way to write Dom off of he is going to Raw but hopefully they let them just go for it. Also keeps Kross out of the title picture for now which is a good thing.

I thought the same thing about Dain being Stone's muscle when he told him to get him a match with Dexter. I just hope Stone gets other clients he's one of my favorite parts of NXT.

I really like Stone too, but his failure to recruit anyone other than jobbers is getting stale. Pairing him with Dain as an unlikely pairing has the potential to be gold. Dain essentially using him but Stone doesn't mind as he has his muscle to defend him.

Stone becomes that much more effective with some muscle behind him, and it will help Dain tremendously who has really been lacking something since his role as Sanity’s muscle ended.

I am hoping Hartwell joins up with Stone too. Obviously they were hinting towards it a bit last night, but she can do such a great resting b**** face type character that I think she'd be hilarious with him. Dain being his muscle with her and Aliyah could be a riot and a half. I've never been huge on Dain in general, but I could get on board with this role. He really needs something I agree. He's been in matches since he came back to NXT, but he's literally just been a guy in a match every time. Although lets be real, Stone could shoot angles with nothing but a bunch of sock puppets and he'd find a way to make it good.

Keith relinquishing the NXT North American title....seems fair. Hope Roody Strong wins it again.
