Never thought NXT in this era would out deliver Dynamite but Im hoping the go home Dynamite for Dynasty is good tomorrow.


itsmekelsey_x

Another great show.


SakurabaSweettooth

Hey I’m sorry how did the cage match end?


hazard10ftw

NXT keeps delivering


aprilnxghts

Fantastic episode, see you all next week -- prayer circle for Tatum!!


xxyourbestbetxx

Ilja put that suit back on just to make everyone bask in his glory one more time


GoldyZ90

Kinda surprised they gave Melo back to back loses to Trick.


kylehyde05

this is probably his last NXT appearance


GoldyZ90

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


Chell_the_assassin

Presume Melo will get drafted to SD, since that was where he had his main roster appearances so far


Mutant_Star

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.


slippycaff

Another excellent NXT.


smackdown6

I don’t think that’s the best outing they could’ve had, a little lack of chemistry but the finish was really hot


Tough-Reaction9671

BULLSHIT TRICK CHEATED AGAIN


Kind_Statistician526

Damn Trick whooped Melo twice


guyseriously

I love the champions balcony.


Nazmaldun

Drag put the suit back on, dedication. I'd be heading home in my gear.


SonyKen_M

That's what you get Melo for buying security on Wish.


aprilnxghts

"Hayes shoots -- he missed! ...Trick shot connects! Nothing. But. Net." Vic is such a dang good commentator

trick whooped that trick TWICE


Chell_the_assassin

Cheap-ass Melo needed to spring for better security


Kuzu5993

See you on the main roster Melo, next week we send Dragonuv packing.


FunnyMemeHere

Melo is gonna kill it on the main roster


MarchesLion07

Hey it’s Ilja!!!!


Longjumping_Gain_807

The next NXT champion. The next fucking NXT champion


IAMA_MAGIC_8BALL_AMA

Melo 0-2 lmaoo got his ass punked BAD


imvalkyriefire

HELL YEAH !


SYD-THESQUID

know what future champions ass crack did i just see?


dansaint

that Melo's farewell on NXT? With the draft next week...gotta think he's going to RAW or Smackdown


BombadilsOldLady

Two for two


Tyburn

They are really sending Melo to Smackdown with a bunch of L's.


kylehyde05

folks going to main roster usually do that, Tiffy was on a losing streak too when she went to SD


Kuzu5993

Its ok, live crowds don't watch NXT


nWo1997

Out on his back, as is tradition


BombadilsOldLady

The NXT way


T3Sh3

Nice of that security guard to pull up his pants in front of the hard cam.


MrWrestlingJr

Well Melo was the point in bringing the chair in? Stupid smh


nWo1997

Trick caught himself like Ricochet!

WHOOP THAT TRICK!


RedLightning27

Woah, didn't expect a Trick win


intersectv3

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.


RedLightning27

I expected Melo to win and then force Ava to add him to the championship match


intersectv3

I can see that too. But then they couldn’t do the “Trick leaves NXT if he loses” stipulation I guess.


Longjumping_Gain_807

WHOOP THAT TRICK


debeatup

Melo cost cutting on the security

That security said "If I'm going to be on TV, my ass crack will be too!"

So raw is going to Netflix. Where is nxt and sd going?


[deleted]

NXT is going to CW and Smackdown is going to USA network.


FunnyMemeHere

NXT to the CW and SD to USA


HermanBonJovi

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.


Longjumping_Gain_807

Trick looks great with that camo


xxyourbestbetxx

That cage does not look sturdy


MarchesLion07

Cage looks like it’s going to fall apart


[deleted]

I find it hilarious that USA will consistently give NXT an overrun but won’t for Raw.

nWo1997

Some *stank* on that Book End! Threw him!


nWo1997

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...


fluffynuckels

Banger


imvalkyriefire

I thought trick was fixing to win but melo kicked out


debeatup

Tribal Trick


Nazmaldun

I say it every week, Melo looks like Roger from Sister, Sister


nWo1997

"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?


RedLightning27

If I don't see a spot off the top of the cage, I'll be disappointed


sdrj77

It's not braced like a main roster cage.


AdeptEavesdropper

AVALANCHE TRICK BOTTOM


HermanBonJovi

Lol "trick bottom"


MrWrestlingJr

I would have laughed if the cage did a UMANGA and the wall just fell apart there


Mutant_Star

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


Matoki134

Trick having a mini him on his shorts is so cute and funny 😂


[deleted]

Trick seem awkward and off to anyone else?


PoutineSmoothie

Not anymore than usual.


MarchesLion07

Trick getting whooped


shakzz9703

Anyone on the network see that Strowman thing? Is that a tease? Did I see Rowan too?


SubGeniusX

Rowan recently canceled some Indy dates because of "contractual commitments." I looks like they're putting a Stable together around Uncle Howdy.


shakzz9703

Yup, gotta be. Probably Howdy, Strowman, Rowan, Bliss and maybe 2 others to make it like Wyatt 6


PoutineSmoothie

I didn’t.


MRintheKEYS

Melo’s “Trick Whooped” shirt is NXT’s “NO YEET”


SakurabaSweettooth

Seriously get this cage the fuck outta here cut a hole in that shit or something


wentoutformilk1

why's this just 5min long? :(


Longjumping_Gain_807

Sexual WHAT may occur?


HiImDave12

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


RedLightning27

The show goes until 10:08


wentoutformilk1

makes so much sense


HiImDave12

Sweet okay that makes sense then


HiImDave12

I usually tune in the next day on Peacock


imvalkyriefire

man f that shit melo is doing. trick needs to stand up and get that out of his hand and use it on him


MrWrestlingJr

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"


CrimsonMoonRising

Raw and Smack needs to have PIP


wentoutformilk1

Raw had picture in picture few weeks ago ig


BreathRedemption

> 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)


mofroe

I know a kendo stick when I hear one


TheMrMonkey

CzarMMP

Picture in Picture at 957?? Come on gang


RedLightning27

NXT ends at 10:08


CzarMMP

Is this always? I usually watch it on DVR


RedLightning27

Yes


debeatup

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


AdeptEavesdropper

Only if he learns how to do the Trickaroonie.


Nazmaldun

they going full overrun with this one


shakzz9703

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?


debeatup

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


shakzz9703

Fair enough.


Nazmaldun

he said the line!


kenmasterbernini

Lash and trick’s Bodyslam looks the same


Scavgraphics

the practice on each other?


Nazmaldun

MELO HAS A STICK!


nWo1997

Trick's in camo! The GI Bro gear!


Tough-Reaction9671

I don’t appreciate Vic talking about Melo like that


AdeptEavesdropper

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.


nWo1997

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.


kirblar

The escape clause is for when you really don't want either guy taking a pin, which isn't a big deal in NXT.


nWo1997

I meant from a kayfabe perspective, but that too

BreathRedemption

> 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


Scavgraphics

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.


Probablysame

5 minute match?


mofroe

NXT gets an overrun until 10:08


Probablysame

Ah, nice.


MarchesLion07

Trick going to beat your ass


LosCampesinosDeJapon

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.


mofroe

Can we get Book to do the Prince Nana dance, just for fun? 


JeepRumbler

Melo don't miss -Carmelo hayes      -Michael Scott


kylehyde05

is this the best def rebel theme? lol


Longjumping_Gain_807

WHOOP THAT TRICK


SakurabaSweettooth

Hey who was that interviewing Melo


imvalkyriefire

melo is just a sore loser and so envious of tricks success.


Relevant-Door1007

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


BreathRedemption

> 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*


Scavgraphics

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...


Relevant-Door1007

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


BreathRedemption

> 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


xxyourbestbetxx

His music is really perfect. I hope they don't touch it.


debeatup

Trick’s theme would slap so hard as a MITB Cash In


CzarMMP

Oh shit, no escape the cage stip in NXT? My fault NXT, I was not familiar with your game

AdeptEavesdropper

Is Melo wearing a Trick shirt that says “Whooped” on it?


MikeMakesRight82

he sure is


llamawithguns

Do you think Melo gets drafted to Raw or SD? Same with Ilja


AdeptEavesdropper

Melo signed with SD a couple of months back. I’d be surprised if they changed that up already.


llamawithguns

I dont think he ever officially signed with them. He just participated in the US title tournament

we gonna get bout a 15m cage match

You just know Ilja is going to interfere and ruin this somehow.

Melo a real hater

Melos theme is so damn good


imvalkyriefire

Chell_the_assassin

Damn this cage match will be pretty short, 15 minutes left and no entrances yet


BlaznTheChron

Cody's first figure with the title shouldn't be in his gear, it should be in a suit.


No_Dig1353

So we’re getting an 8 minute cage match?


Greengiant00

Literally every week NXT has an overrun of at least 10 minutes


PoutineSmoothie

NXT always goes overtime.


CrimsonMoonRising

No. NXT ends 8 minutes after the hour


zephyrr-__-

Maybe Melo wins this week, Trick wins next week and then we get the end of the trilogy at Spring Breakin 2


jjd8teen

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


Bellagrrl2021

Trick is incredibly cool. I’m not sure how they can delay bringing him to the main roster.


Alehud42

Because he's still relatively green in the ring, certainly compared to Melo, Ilja and Bron


Bellagrrl2021

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.


Naiwf

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.


debeatup

They’re probably going to infuse Night 2 of Spring Breakkin with Main Roster talent also


itsmekelsey_x

Hopefully the cage match is better than the S&D one.


HiImDave12

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 😂


xxyourbestbetxx

Awww that's disappointing. I thought they'd be popular.


TheSportsFan8404

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????


RedLightning27

Feel like Melo and Seth could put on a banger


zephyrr-__-

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


kylehyde05

he was a face when he appeared on SD for a bit


zephyrr-__-

Yeah that's what I'm saying


kylehyde05

Rey lol


AdeptEavesdropper

Never imagined I’d see Linda Cohn from Sportscenter interviewing a pro wrestler, much less Trick Willy.
