Don't look now, but Shawn Michaels is brewing a potent concoction down in NXT. Before I go any further, I should make one thing clear. Most of NXT sucks. The gimmicks are cartoonish (the mafia stable is ridiculous), the writing (or whatever you want to call it) is juvenile, and the on-screen authority figures are just horrid. Having said that, the women's roster is all kinds of stacked. It's actually too stacked. I couldn't sit here and name every athletic blonde who appears in the backstage segments, but as with any division, there are standouts. Let's talk about a few of them.
I've been looking forward to Giulia's debut for several months, and man, it did not disappoint. Can you say "star quality"? Hell, she literally looks like a star. She twinkles, for crying out loud! I'm assuming that she will take the NXT Women's Championship when the show moves to CW, which would send Roxanne Perez to either Raw or Smackdown. Roxy is another one of those standouts I mentioned earlier. It seems like just yesterday I was watching her compete in ROH. I'm a fan, although I hope she switches back to being a babyface after her inevitable promotion. I'm not digging her heel promos at all. They feel forced. Maybe I'm overly critical. Eh.
The last standout I wanted to highlight hasn't debuted on TV yet. NXT has an ace up its sleeve, and her name is Stephanie Vaquer. She wrestled on Dynamite earlier this year in a losing effort against Mercedes Mone. I can't believe AEW let her go, seemingly without a fight. If you haven't seen her go in the ring, she has all of the intangibles that can't be taught. Her versus Giulia? I'm salivating over here. The only downside to these hot prospects is the fact that I have to watch NXT every week now. How else am I supposed to keep track of my wrestling crushes? Okay, I only have a crush on Vaquer. And Giulia. I'm sure they won't mind fighting over me. Wheelchair on a pole match?
Yikes, I forgot about Jade. It's an embarrassment of bitches (sorry, I had to). Moral of the story...start paying attention to NXT, folks!
