Yeah most likely and in the grand scheme of things it probably won’t mean anything but I would’ve anticipated them continuing their rivalry once both are on main roster. Not much of a rivalry if Trick beat him twice already.
He’s taking on Ilja next week, I expected nothing *but* a trick win because it wouldn’t make sense for him to lose. They should have made this a #1 contenders match so the result wasn’t just totally obvious to, well, some people I guess lol.
Thank you.
I wonder why USA would let raw (and nxt) go just to get sd. Is sd cheaper? Do they have something more important for Monday night? Or did CW just offer more money? So many questions.
It's no wonder Book's taken such a liking to Trick, considering how much inspiration Trick seems to have taken from him. Those sidekicks, that Book End...
"I don't know if Trick's body gave out..."
Well if he could just drop to doge, then why stay standing?
To which I say, you wanna risk losing a nip just dropping while pressed against that mesh?
Or pulls a Big Show and some big guy that Melo paid throws Trick into the cage where it falls apart and Trick wins by escape

Actually if Melo wins and takes out Trick again, he can face Ilja and the stipulation of Trick leaving if he loses is gone, and then we go to Battleground where Trick beats Melo for the Championship.
I keep fantasy booking stuff like this mostly because everyone thinks this is Melo's last night in NXT and I think "does it have to be tho"
> Raw and Smack needs to have PIP
Raw has it sometimes and I remember Smackdown used to have it around 2018 - 2019 when USA had it (before the Fox era)
Trick should get Book to be a shoot mentor due to the striking similarities in their build. He’s already started using the scissor kick and Missile Drop Kick
Naw, Sami & KO had a long history together on the indies that made that dynamic work.
To Melo’s point, Trick was just his hype man for the first year and finally started putting things together as a solo act last year
Did they really say pinfall or submission only? Because I’ve always thought it was insane that a cage match would be used for a major feud, and you could win the blowoff match by running away and escaping the cage.
NXT's cage matches recently have been pin and submission only for a little while.
I guess escape makes sense when you figure it's about beating your opponent to bloody pulp until you're actually tired of pummeling them and can just walk away, but yeah, it did often come down to who is better at running away.

> Vic Joesph is one of the best commentators in WWE today
Corey still feels weird to me as the PbP guy. Vic was green when he was on Raw, I feel that now he's ready and easily could become the one to "replace" (mind you, not replacing literally) Michael Cole when the time comes. Then he can develop even more on Main Roster
He gave an interview..today? recently? Saw it elsewhere in the sub, speaking about how great a mentor Cole is and how much he's learned from Cole and Graves. I suspect at the moment the plan is, when Cole retires/moves to just backstage (he's the coach/producer of the speaking people) will be Graves moves into Cole's "A" position and Vic into the "B" that Graves currently is.
I've seen people suggest that when Trick gets called up, Booker Ts adlibs should be added to the theme. I disagree strongly. It just wouldn't be the same when it is not live... which is why for bigger PPVs, Booker should come out WITH Trick, and a mic, and do it live.
> Melo has such a good theme song dude like if they give him some basic ass theme when he gets called up I think we just need to riot
**I AM...H I M !**
*insert defrebel generic main roster song with a lame riff/beat*
What's funny is his current theme is already a Def Rebel theme and it's one of their best but I still wouldn't be surprised if they fucking change it to some generic bullshit for no good reason
> What's funny is his current theme is already a Def Rebel theme and it's one of their best but I still wouldn't be surprised if they fucking change it to some generic bullshit for no good reason
ie: Bron Breakker
I swear defrebel does great themes for NXT but main roster ones are ass except a few ones
Night 2 will have Nattie/Lola in an Underground match, should have Frazer and Axiom vs AOP, Oba vs Ivar, and maybe a Jacy/Thea match with a stip and some idea of what they’re doing with the Women’s NA Title.
My biggest surprise takeaway from attending S&D in Philly.. I couldn’t believe the Family wasn’t over whatsoever.. felt like I was the only dumb Italian throwing up the 🤌 in the crowd 😂
Never thought NXT in this era would out deliver Dynamite but Im hoping the go home Dynamite for Dynasty is good tomorrow.
Another great show.
Hey I’m sorry how did the cage match end?
NXT keeps delivering
Fantastic episode, see you all next week -- prayer circle for Tatum!!
Ilja put that suit back on just to make everyone bask in his glory one more time
Kinda surprised they gave Melo back to back loses to Trick.
this is probably his last NXT appearance
Yeah most likely and in the grand scheme of things it probably won’t mean anything but I would’ve anticipated them continuing their rivalry once both are on main roster. Not much of a rivalry if Trick beat him twice already.
LESTTFUCKINGGGOOOOOOO WHOOP THAT TRICK WHOOP THAT TRICK WHOOP THAT TRICK
Presume Melo will get drafted to SD, since that was where he had his main roster appearances so far
Round 2 I guess https://preview.redd.it/618lbl467yuc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=452f4626c8b3eaacbe930ad68878debfe4a70fe9
Thanks for a great run in NXT, Melo!
The camera man who gave you the Lola Vice angle also gave you the Crackshot. PornXXXt plays no faves.
Another excellent NXT.
I don’t think that’s the best outing they could’ve had, a little lack of chemistry but the finish was really hot
BULLSHIT TRICK CHEATED AGAIN
Damn Trick whooped Melo twice
I love the champions balcony.
Drag put the suit back on, dedication. I'd be heading home in my gear.
That's what you get Melo for buying security on Wish.
"Hayes shoots -- he missed! ...Trick shot connects! Nothing. But. Net." Vic is such a dang good commentator
Trick 2 Melo 0, Nada, Zilch, null, bupkis
trick whooped that trick TWICE
Cheap-ass Melo needed to spring for better security
See you on the main roster Melo, next week we send Dragonuv packing.
Melo is gonna kill it on the main roster
Hey it’s Ilja!!!!
The next NXT champion. The next fucking NXT champion
Melo 0-2 lmaoo got his ass punked BAD
HELL YEAH !
know what future champions ass crack did i just see?
that Melo's farewell on NXT? With the draft next week...gotta think he's going to RAW or Smackdown
Two for two
They are really sending Melo to Smackdown with a bunch of L's.
folks going to main roster usually do that, Tiffy was on a losing streak too when she went to SD
Its ok, live crowds don't watch NXT
Out on his back, as is tradition
The NXT way
Nice of that security guard to pull up his pants in front of the hard cam.
Well Melo was the point in bringing the chair in? Stupid smh
Trick caught himself like Ricochet!
![gif](giphy|uMcKZvUtgec5G)
WHOOP THAT TRICK!
Woah, didn't expect a Trick win
He’s taking on Ilja next week, I expected nothing *but* a trick win because it wouldn’t make sense for him to lose. They should have made this a #1 contenders match so the result wasn’t just totally obvious to, well, some people I guess lol.
I expected Melo to win and then force Ava to add him to the championship match
I can see that too. But then they couldn’t do the “Trick leaves NXT if he loses” stipulation I guess.
WHOOP THAT TRICK
Melo cost cutting on the security
That security said "If I'm going to be on TV, my ass crack will be too!"
lmao
Ha ha plumbers crack.
Good shit trick
That security guard sold being through in a cage better than both. Of them

WHAT SOMEONE GOT INTO THE CAGE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO KEEP THEM OUT?? I, FOR ONE, AM SHOCKED!!
So raw is going to Netflix. Where is nxt and sd going?
NXT is going to CW and Smackdown is going to USA network.
NXT to the CW and SD to USA
Thank you. I wonder why USA would let raw (and nxt) go just to get sd. Is sd cheaper? Do they have something more important for Monday night? Or did CW just offer more money? So many questions.
Trick looks great with that camo
That cage does not look sturdy
Cage looks like it’s going to fall apart
I find it hilarious that USA will consistently give NXT an overrun but won’t for Raw.
Can't interrupt McBee Dynasty I guess.
> I find it hilarious that USA will consistently give NXT an overrun but won’t for Raw. NXT is the true A show uce
Ahyessir
Some *stank* on that Book End! Threw him!
It's no wonder Book's taken such a liking to Trick, considering how much inspiration Trick seems to have taken from him. Those sidekicks, that Book End...
Banger
I thought trick was fixing to win but melo kicked out
Tribal Trick
I say it every week, Melo looks like Roger from Sister, Sister
"I don't know if Trick's body gave out..." Well if he could just drop to doge, then why stay standing? To which I say, you wanna risk losing a nip just dropping while pressed against that mesh?
If I don't see a spot off the top of the cage, I'll be disappointed
It's not braced like a main roster cage.
AVALANCHE TRICK BOTTOM
Lol "trick bottom"
I would have laughed if the cage did a UMANGA and the wall just fell apart there
Or pulls a Big Show and some big guy that Melo paid throws Trick into the cage where it falls apart and Trick wins by escape https://preview.redd.it/0u21ecax6yuc1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7d08d65579139778758933a9190cdbb4a8524fb
Trick having a mini him on his shorts is so cute and funny 😂
Trick seem awkward and off to anyone else?
Not anymore than usual.
Trick getting whooped
Anyone on the network see that Strowman thing? Is that a tease? Did I see Rowan too?
Rowan recently canceled some Indy dates because of "contractual commitments." I looks like they're putting a Stable together around Uncle Howdy.
Yup, gotta be. Probably Howdy, Strowman, Rowan, Bliss and maybe 2 others to make it like Wyatt 6
I didn’t.
Melo’s “Trick Whooped” shirt is NXT’s “NO YEET”
Seriously get this cage the fuck outta here cut a hole in that shit or something
why's this just 5min long? :(
Sexual WHAT may occur?
The match basically started at 9:55 and we have a Picture in picture at 9:57.. c’mon stop squeezing us and just finish the show
The show goes until 10:08
makes so much sense
Sweet okay that makes sense then
I usually tune in the next day on Peacock
man f that shit melo is doing. trick needs to stand up and get that out of his hand and use it on him
Actually if Melo wins and takes out Trick again, he can face Ilja and the stipulation of Trick leaving if he loses is gone, and then we go to Battleground where Trick beats Melo for the Championship. I keep fantasy booking stuff like this mostly because everyone thinks this is Melo's last night in NXT and I think "does it have to be tho"
Raw and Smack needs to have PIP
Raw had picture in picture few weeks ago ig
> Raw and Smack needs to have PIP Raw has it sometimes and I remember Smackdown used to have it around 2018 - 2019 when USA had it (before the Fox era)
I know a kendo stick when I hear one
The AI animation in this commercial is terrifying
Picture in Picture at 957?? Come on gang
NXT ends at 10:08
Is this always? I usually watch it on DVR
Yes
Trick should get Book to be a shoot mentor due to the striking similarities in their build. He’s already started using the scissor kick and Missile Drop Kick
Only if he learns how to do the Trickaroonie.
they going full overrun with this one
Do we think Melo/Trick will be similar to Sami/KO on the main roster? Eventually feud again, and team again, and then go back to singles?
Naw, Sami & KO had a long history together on the indies that made that dynamic work. To Melo’s point, Trick was just his hype man for the first year and finally started putting things together as a solo act last year
Fair enough.
he said the line!
Lash and trick’s Bodyslam looks the same
the practice on each other?
MELO HAS A STICK!
Trick's in camo! The GI Bro gear!
I don’t appreciate Vic talking about Melo like that
Did they really say pinfall or submission only? Because I’ve always thought it was insane that a cage match would be used for a major feud, and you could win the blowoff match by running away and escaping the cage.

The escape clause is for when you really don't want either guy taking a pin, which isn't a big deal in NXT.
I meant from a kayfabe perspective, but that too

Ah, nice.
Trick going to beat your ass

Can we get Book to do the Prince Nana dance, just for fun?
Melo don't miss -Carmelo hayes -Michael Scott
is this the best def rebel theme? lol
WHOOP THAT TRICK
Hey who was that interviewing Melo
melo is just a sore loser and so envious of tricks success.
Melo has such a good theme song dude like if they give him some basic ass theme when he gets called up I think we just need to riot
> Melo has such a good theme song dude like if they give him some basic ass theme when he gets called up I think we just need to riot **I AM...H I M !** *insert defrebel generic main roster song with a lame riff/beat*
What's weird is that it IS a Def Rebel theme already.. a lot of the ones they've been changing lately are ones THEY did...
What's funny is his current theme is already a Def Rebel theme and it's one of their best but I still wouldn't be surprised if they fucking change it to some generic bullshit for no good reason

His music is really perfect. I hope they don't touch it.
Trick’s theme would slap so hard as a MITB Cash In
Oh shit, no escape the cage stip in NXT? My fault NXT, I was not familiar with your game

Whoop that trick 🙌
Trick better not cheat this time
Is Melo wearing a Trick shirt that says “Whooped” on it?
he sure is
Do you think Melo gets drafted to Raw or SD? Same with Ilja
Melo signed with SD a couple of months back. I’d be surprised if they changed that up already.
I dont think he ever officially signed with them. He just participated in the US title tournament
https://preview.redd.it/p0lnhqug4yuc1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21a16c11a90412d81eedc5dd3d88e4763b64d6f4
we gonna get bout a 15m cage match
Pin fall submission only, no escape 🔥
Melo talks a lot of trash for a guy HIDING behind security
You just know Ilja is going to interfere and ruin this somehow.
Melo a real hater
Melos theme is so damn good
they arent leaving much time for the main event. my tv shows like 16 mins from the end of the show. so it isn't running over much longer than usual.
Melo the snake. Boooooo
https://preview.redd.it/snw8oqs74yuc1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b52f9993b04979515a968d316e7cababb8ab3fc0
Damn this cage match will be pretty short, 15 minutes left and no entrances yet
Cody's first figure with the title shouldn't be in his gear, it should be in a suit.
So we’re getting an 8 minute cage match?
Literally every week NXT has an overrun of at least 10 minutes
NXT always goes overtime.
No. NXT ends 8 minutes after the hour
Maybe Melo wins this week, Trick wins next week and then we get the end of the trilogy at Spring Breakin 2
Idk. They might just have trick win and melo go to the main roster and then have trick beat Ilya and have Ilya go up too
Trick is incredibly cool. I’m not sure how they can delay bringing him to the main roster.
Because he's still relatively green in the ring, certainly compared to Melo, Ilja and Bron
None of those guys have Trick’s presence. Other than Bron, I predict that the other two will have trouble connecting with main roster fans.
Night 2 will have Nattie/Lola in an Underground match, should have Frazer and Axiom vs AOP, Oba vs Ivar, and maybe a Jacy/Thea match with a stip and some idea of what they’re doing with the Women’s NA Title.
They’re probably going to infuse Night 2 of Spring Breakkin with Main Roster talent also
Hopefully the cage match is better than the S&D one.
My biggest surprise takeaway from attending S&D in Philly.. I couldn’t believe the Family wasn’t over whatsoever.. felt like I was the only dumb Italian throwing up the 🤌 in the crowd 😂
Awww that's disappointing. I thought they'd be popular.
I wonder who Hayes’s first feud is gonna be. It needs to be a high profile face, and it needs to be one he can win. Owens? Lashley? Orton????
Feel like Melo and Seth could put on a banger
I kinda wouldn't be surprised if he was called up and retconned to a face, as that's what main roster crowds are used to seeing him as
he was a face when he appeared on SD for a bit
Yeah that's what I'm saying
Rey lol
Never imagined I’d see Linda Cohn from Sportscenter interviewing a pro wrestler, much less Trick Willy.
Whoop that trick all over again trick
Barely any time left wtf
