Her angry face isn't great either.

Fun episode overall, though I was a bit disappointed more Brits didn't come out to back up Dinner only to be spurned.

We only come out to support Supper

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE FEATURES NIGEL DANCING. NO ONE TOLD ME THIS.

Also TUE's music really is prime Belt Guitar Music and therefore rules.

Honestly, that contract signing was super lame. Of all the people to give sub-Cena "lol you're short" material to, it shouldn't be Aleister goddamn Black.

The crowd was into it but I kinda have to agree, seeing Black drop sick burns on Almas' advocate made him look like a bit of a geek.

I dunno, when he first took the meditative pose I thought it was pretty awesome. The verbal burns were kinda lame but Aleister is so loving cool that he made it work reasonably well IMO.

"I'm glad you came out here alone because I didnt" was really good. I hope nxt actually has time to do more than one women's feud, as much as basing it via Johnny vs almas is kinda lame.

Also man they have waited forever on a certain floppy boy's debut and I keep expecting it to happen every week. I just want to see the flips, nxt.

The case for the acceptability/permissibly of "War Machine" is very hard. You could argue public knowledge of MMA fighter War Machine's deeply savage domestic violence assault of porn star Christy Mack is niche, not mainstream and ever slipping down the Google search results. But isn't something I would want my company associated with. And it doesn't matter to the tag team's success THAT much.

Even the word "war" is something WWE might ponder use them.

I think MMA War Machine's case got enough mainstream notoriety that it might not sit right with some people if WWE used that name. But even if that's not the case, it's still a popular comic/movie character and that won't go unnoticed.

Honestly changing the name isn't that big of a deal, they're good enough to get over with any name.

They use it in AOP's branding (war is our peace or whatever) so it's probably not an impossibility. Never heard of the MMA dude, but can see why they'd want to steer clear of that headache.

They also have Heavy Machinery already so they might want to separate those names a bit more.

Even if you came up with "War Machine" out of the blue anyway I think someone has already grabbed it. There so many Wrestling, MMA, apparel, energy drink and outdoor/gun stores floating around now. Most of the best/immediate names are likely already trademarked.

Cole, Fish and O'Reilly submitted a zillion faction names and got the freakin "The Undisputed Era" back for example.

He could team with one of the AoP and everyone in NXT is too scared to point out that Akam or Rezar is in the tournament twice.

Akam and Rezar twin magic their way to victories into the finals, only to be thwarted when Roddy tries to switch with one of them in the final

Well, he didn't slap Roddy's hand away and instead sort of smirked at him, which is probably the friendliest reaction you can get from Pete Dunne. So, the BruiserBackBreakers may be a thing, and if so, RIP to Burch and Lorcan.
