NXT Recap & Review – Episode 322
This week’s episode of NXT wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. A pretty average show with announcements of exciting matches in the next few weeks.
This week’s episode of NXT wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. A pretty average show with announcements of exciting matches in the next few weeks.
This was a 50/50 show. The first half was really good, the second half really wasn’t.
This week’s RAW set up a number of matches for Wrestlemania and had a few very memorable moments including the return of Shane McMahon!
Fastlane was a mixed show. It had some very good matches, but it also had some not so great matches and very strange booking.
The Fastlane Kickoff show features a two out of three falls match for the US Title that was good enough to be on Fastlane, but might have been better on the kickoff show since it got more time. Plus the usual pre-show analysis and AJ Styles answering questions in the Social Media Lounge.
Predictions for what might happen at WWE Fastlane, plus a really early and pretty unlikely Wrestlemania prediction!
Alicia Fox steals the show with her antics on this week’s Superstars.
A good Smackdown that maintained interest in Sunday’s Fastlane with good, but unsurprising, matches.
Not many things might have been settled here, but this was a good show with some good, or at least interesting, matches.
A good show with some really fun and good matches.
This was a pretty good show with some nice surprises, but the ending confused me.
Titus O’Neil was suspended for 60 days for grabbing Vince McMahon on camera. Did he deserve that long of a suspension? Is this all just a ploy to garner support or a big Titus O’Neil push? Check out my theories to see what I think is happening behind the scenes!
Zack Ryder looked for retribution against Stardust from last week, and Damien Sandow teamed up with Fandango to take on the Ascension in a couple of good matches for Superstars this week.
By keeping the match count low, this show was able to have some very nice wrestling. Chris Jericho wrestled AJ Styles in their rematch from the RAW after the Royal Rumble, and Sasha Banks took on Naomi in a very competitive match. Plus, the Dudley Boyz and the Wyatt Family both had some very important words for the WWE Universe (though some words were more cryptic than others).
Bayley put her title on the line against her friend Carmella in a match that had some surprising and satisfying elements.
Main event this week was pretty fun. It was highlighted by the return of Damien Sandow and a surprisingly competitive match between Heath Slater and Zack Ryder.
The show was fine, but it was made memorable due to the sad fact of Daniel Bryan’s sudden retirement from professional wrestling. His address to the fans was definitely the highlight of the show.
This week’s Superstars was an okay show. The matches were fine, but they’re anything worth going too far out of your way to watch.
With some very enjoyable moments and some surprisingly good matches here along with the usual stuff that Smackdown produces, this week’s show is a good watch.
Despite some of the obvious character-building, the main event made this show. Balor versus Crews was a very good match. Not a classic, but it was a departure from the regular WWE/NXT formula.
