Rhea 100% must be, and I think they’re just waiting to debut her in the Rumble (which I think she has a shot at winning). My bet is the Dusty winners take the tags off Asuka/Charlotte leading to a breakup feud, Charlotte takes the title off Asuka before Mania and we get Rhea/Charlotte II.

Yeah, Rhea is definitely moving up and winning the Rumble is the way to go with her or Bianca. I think you're right with the Dusty winners. I think Dakota and Raquel win that and they would be a good combo to be tag champs.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Where inevitably Charlotte wins. Then maybe, finally, the crowd will cheer for her? They won't.

Of course, why book the logical and satisfying conclusion to the story that started with Charlotte walking into NXT to take their title like it was owed to her when you can have the underdog lose twice?

Exactly. If Charlotte gets shoved down the fans'WWE Universe's collective throats long and hard enough, they'll have no choice but to cheer for her, and her only.

I was never more scared than when I thought Kushida was going to throw Johnny into a printer on yesterday's show. Thank god he through him through a door instead.

No one is or should be watching this but I always have it muted on my other monitor. I just looked to see Cameron Grimes in top hat and glasses doing a 'money' angel in the certain of the ring after he poured out money from a bag. No idea wtf was going on.

Nothing changes AFAICT, ESPN airs NBA on Wednesdays so these rights weren't for Wednesday games, NBC is probably still negotiating for those.

Yeah, seems like NHL wants a non-exclusive deal for their American broadcasts, so ESPN just locked down half of he rights and he other half are up for grabs among NBC, Fox and CBS.

https://www.pwinsider.com/article/144800/big-wwe-nxt-to-tuesday-update.html?p=1

Several WWE sources confirmed tofay that the first WWE NXT episode coming out of Wrestlemania 37 weekend is currently scheduled to be held and broadcast on Tuesday 4/13.

There had been rumors to this effect in recent weeks, stemming from a report from The Mat Men Podcast.

At the time, WWE did not respond to the reports (and still have not) but we are told that the production calendar for Wrestlemania week currently lists the 4/13 taping date.

So, while we do not have confirmation of a permanent move, all signs point to the Wednesday Night Wars indeed ending next month. The move would separate NXT and AEW, allowing each series to stand on their own accord with viewers. NXT shifting to Tuesday would also allow for heavy promotion from the previous evening's episode of Monday Night Raw.

If NXT indeed moves to Tuesday permanently, that would place them opposite Impact Wrestling on AXS. The smart money should be put on Impact moving to Thursday nights.

So, how many weeks to give RAW promoting NXT? I'd say 2 weeks until they forget about it.

Probably right.

But now I wonder what’s going on Wednesday’s for them and where?

Because NXT Evolve IS happening.

NXT Evolve on Peacock is what I think is most likely.

Word. I could definitely see that.

I’m just curious who else they sign from here to put on the show. They’re still doing their international scouting right now according to SRS so it’ll be interesting.

Arturo Ruas still is training and isn’t ready.

Been a few weeks since I've been able to watch NXT within 48 hours of it being on. It was a good episode. I'm more interested in Takeover than Wrestlemania.

I feel like if anything he has more potential storylines than most WWE people due to all the potential cheating and cucking angles.

I assume beat balor, then a bunch of generic rear end NXT feuds like retain over a returning dexter lumis in a feud with a lot of funny faces, loses the belt to... I don't know, Cameron Grimes in the fall when he gets called up?

Then cucking on the main roster. So much cucking. Imagine those googly eyes bounce around all sad.
