NXT Round-Up

NXT's taping schedule can be maddening.  Coming off the hottest Takeover event yet, last night's show featured matches taped ahead of said event.  There was a camel train of clips from Saturday's centerpiece, but we won't see the real follow-up until next week. Could you imagine if Wrestlemania was treated the same way?  You must iron the frilly nightclothes while they're hot, and no, you don't get to correct me.  That's almost certainly the right precept (something about iron, right?), just as Sarah Logan is almost certainly my girlfriend.

LARS DESTROYS ALL ~ Lars Sullivan is a mammoth motherfucker. He dismantles No Way Jose before the bell rings and the decision is thrown out.  So creative still doesn't know what to do with Jose, unless he has found a rather unfortunate role.  Meanwhile, Lars seems sculpted for success.

PEYTON ROYCE VS. SARAH LOGAN ~ Logan was plucked from the Mae Young Classic, though she has appeared on NXT in the past as an "enhancement talent."  I am a fan.  I don't know the end game for Royce (likewise for her partner, Billie Kay), but she's clearly talented.  This was a solid match wherein Royce reigned victorious with a Perfect Plex.  Odd choice for a finisher.  I question everything, don't I?

THE UK DIVISION ~ Our main event was a tag team match that saw Wolfgang and UK Champion Pete Dunne (holy shit, this kid's pop) battle Trent Seven and former champ Tyler Bate, collectively known as Moustache Mountain.  First off, the latter team already has matching tights and a history as a duo, so why not add them to the tag division?  NXT does need fresh teams, after all.  I'm picturing Moustache Mountain wrestling ReDragon and I'm ejaculating.  You're welcome for the visual.

Obviously, these four cats can work.  They truly maximized their minutes.  Dunne is the star of the bunch, but they all have distinct characteristics.  And...that's all I have to say on the matter.  The two legit matches are worth watching, but again, the taping schedule needs revision.  If there is any promotion that doesn't require filler, it's fucking NXT.  I can't wait to see what Adam Cole does next week, BAY BAY!
