A good episode of NXT for the most part. That being said, I still don't get the appeal of Kona Reeves. Maybe his gimmick will click once I see him in an actual feud, but like right now he's...pretty mediocre at best.

Candice coming in all happy was weird, though they at least made an effort to explain it and make the point (overdue, really) that it's time for her to actually just be a wrestler in her own right instead of just Johnny's wife.

I mean, Johnny lost but he's still got his job and everything now so things aren't bad.

Kona Reeves is really testing my moral obligation to support all Hawaiians (except Travis Browne) in sports. Flea Market Ric Flair is just not working for him and his matches are painfully dull.

Lacey Evans is mad clunky in the ring and seems to be worse than where she was in the MYC, so hopefully she will be relegated to house shows again.

Edit: forgot to mention that a backflip is the best counter to the Total Elimination

Not really? They'd have to black it out on the Network in the US, obviously, but other than that, NXT or 205 Live could easily pull in numbers that would be really good for FS1 as I understand it. And being on a sports channel would actually be conducive to the approach they've been taking.

If it is true it will be announced in the next few days.

NXT people I know talk about it like it is true. I do know NXT is making some big/future forward personnel changes rather soon.

i'd be real curious to see what happens to the rights in this fs1 thing. theoretically, they still have a hulu deal, somehow, but i have to imagine that'd go away. while fox may have a deal with hulu, i imagine they consider sports to be a separate thing they'd keep off hulu - sports are, like, the number one reason most americans still have cable, so they're not gonna give that kinda content up, even if it's sports entertainment

the absolute worst case scenario i could imagine is nxt going exclusive to fs1, getting added to the network only after a 2+ week delay, while takeovers remain network exclusive. of course this is wwe so that's likely what will happen :(

upshot: maybe if most people have to watch nxt when it's streamed on taima, it'll make nxt appointment television again, instead of something everyone waits until takeover to catch up on :v:

(also for those with cable tv or money to burn, i'm sure nxt will be streamable through the fox sports website with either a cable login or a psvue/youtube tv/sling/whatever login)
