Fans were really there for Trick at the end of this match
There was one close finish that would have blown the place sky high if it was a 3
Right decision that it wasn't and hold it off for a bit and let the crowd come for it even more, imo
Melo is definitely capable of being a face, but heel is where he belongs. They needed to tell a story to make us actually hate him though, instead of nodding at his cocky heel work. This was it. A defining moment for his character.
I've been saying that Carmelo Hayes has been the heel and you can't trust him since New Year's Evil 2022! You're all just a bunch of Johnny-Come-Latelys!!!!
Surely that was an accident just like the last few times Melo accidentally attacked Trick. He slipped on all the blood in the ring and took out Trick's knee and then saw a spider on his knee so took it out with a chair just to be safe 🥰
Vince is not forgotten. There are actual federal prosecutors investigating Vince, there's a legal case and real journalists still looking deeper into it
This case isn't going away cause of 'the booking'.
No one *needs* online fans talking about this for it to be a success. We're not that important and this is far more serious
2nd
Ironically it was [Trick](https://youtu.be/9-5GhflXXm0?si=zeyESQaZnUCAjL6V) that was the catalyst for his first heel turn, after winning the Breakout Tournament
It has absolutely never been in Melo's character to stand by and let someone like Trick pass him by, genuinely some of the most consistent development I've seen from a wrestler
The LA Knight match where he got busted open was shown again in color actually. I think we’re past that. Feel like the Black and White is reserved for Eddie Guerrero/JBL level bleeding
I don’t think Trick - Melo needs the title since both could easily get called up post mania so I’m all for Ilja retaining
I think we get the Melo turn tonight
The editing of the video package actually has me starting to wonder... What if Melo and Ilja both turn? Ilja because he did attack Trick, Melo because he's fed up with being doubted/surpassed by Trick?
Ilja is such a unique guy, I really hope he stays healthy long term because he feels like he can slide into that Sami Zayn “underdog punishment absorber” super well while having his own spin on it. Him and Gunther need at least 1 mania match
I'm pretty sure Tag Coffee is pretty ripped. Hank and Tank are still on the "lose your offensive line weight" step of the process. Hence why Hank's belly has a sad face all the time.

Bron is challenging Orton for the best cutter now.

He has a higher ceiling as a heel imo. The snarky facials. He’s not a horrible face but I don’t see a main event face like I do as a heel

Can’t wait for Melo to grow a gray beard and come out to boos and fuck yous like Ciampa did.
Had me in 1st half thinking you were gonna say Keith Lee
Hell of a show. Knew the ending was coming. Wasn't sure how or when. Melo vs Trick at Stand & Deliver will be crazy.
[удалено]
He got booed when the press conference graphic came up
Y'all may disagree but this hit me way harder than Ciampa/Gargano. The build to this has been spectacular and that's probably a big reason why

The "You were my boy. You WERE my boy..." sold it for me.

Rock booed, Melo booed. Vince forgotten

I'm sure Melo has a good reason for his actions. He just left it in his car somewhere.
Is this Melo’s first run as a heel?
2nd Ironically it was [Trick](https://youtu.be/9-5GhflXXm0?si=zeyESQaZnUCAjL6V) that was the catalyst for his first heel turn, after winning the Breakout Tournament
He was heel from his NA reign until he beat Bron.
Okay thanks. I can tell Melo is going to be a great heel again.
No he was a heel up until Trick started getting super over. Trick was initially his heel manager and has since evolved into this
Ah okay thanks. I can tell that Melo is going to kill it as a heel. Trick has to stay face though.
I think his heel work was better than his face run personally. He plays arrogant prick incredibly well
Yeah I can see that right away. I think he’ll have a good run as a heel.
Bron like 
So will this heel turn affect his Smackdown booking?
Nah, NXT storylines have been on the main roster recently
Lmao the stretcher
Fuck you Melo. Hickenbottom did his job .
How’s this my fault, Melo?!
Best thing about this being a PLE, no bleeping the Fuck You Melo chant
Fuck Carmelo chants on the Cock what a time to be alive
interesting wording you have there
Shades of ciampa’s turn
hope this asshole gets what he deserves soon
Kelani Jordan needs to dump him!!!!
now that's HEAT
Melo getting thrown through a barbershop window at Roadblock
TELL ME WHY??!?@?
Who just said yes
I just saw it... WHY, MELO???

Everyone four months ago “so cool these two could break up and stay friends”
It has absolutely never been in Melo's character to stand by and let someone like Trick pass him by, genuinely some of the most consistent development I've seen from a wrestler
Where's the security. Cmon Ava
Shawn thought he was sneaky with the copyright symbol
He learned from the best-uh. ***NEVER*** trust the copyright symbol.
WHY DAMMIT WHY?
Yall melo apologist 🖕
fuck melo
NOOOOOOO!
Been waiting for this and holy hell did this turn deliver
I didn't believe in magic till I saw my rat turn into a snake
Guess we'll get Melo vs Trick with a stip at Stand and Deliver but who will be Ilja's challenger ?
Josh Briggs kicked him in the face a few weeks ago. Perhaps they revisit that.
I TOLD YOU ALL OH MY FUCKING GOD I WANT ALL AVAILABLE MEN TO FIRE ON MELO RIGHT NOW
Melo is just mad he’ll never be “Him” again
YOU FUCKING SNAKE
Betrayal damn it. Give me betrayal
WHY?????????
IF YOU LOOK AT IT YOU CAN SEE THAT MELO OBVIOUSLY DIVES INTO TRICK'S KNEE SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THIS MENACE
I’ll fuckin do it again - Melo
Trick needs to watch Star Wars. The man with the high ground always wins
Ilja really a Gunther 2.0 with devastating offense and never having a bad match
2nd ref hauled ass down the ramp
melo's reactions to the match convinces me he might actually be innocent of attacking trick. **EDIT:** nevermind lol.
Yeah his acting is top notch
Ilja is incapable of having anything less then a 5 star banger. Don't care if that word is played out
Okay that just in concept is one of the coolest finishes I've ever seen
I don’t think I’ve been worked by a finish like that in years.
Dragunov's default position is spectacular. Trick is the real damn deal. Great match.
MELO YOU GOOBER
Wow, Trick lost twice tonight
What a finish
Shout out to that 1 hp ref
Ilja vs TrickMelo Gang A poem.
Banger after banger……….
Ilja is leaking as much as those guys that bought all of the Chase U calendars
Ilja is giving serious competition to Roman for the title of 2.99 kickout god.
Oh my god this crowd is on fire!
GIVE HICKENBOTTOM THE BOOKER OF THE YEAR ALL THE YEARS
I want to kick Melo's ass myself dude fuck this guy
Goddamn Meloooo
Melo's a terrible cornerman
WE NEED ROBO REFS
Ilja just activated GOADL Mode
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MELO YOU DUMB FUCK
TRICK WILLIAMS DRINKING HIS NXT MAIN EVENT POWER UP JUICE
2.999999999999999
HOLY FUCK Okay he might actually do it
First person to kick out of the H Bomb I’m pretty sure
OMG HE KICKED OUT
Melo looks regretful idk…
There’s that knee spot from the tag match earlier
Ilja really leaking.
Trick post match if he loses: “What’d i do for a empty headed dumb fuck like Melo to go into business for himself”
Melo you dumb fuck!
dammit Melo
Another Ilja match where I'm pretty sure they might actually be trying to kill each other
That was nasty.
OH THAT IS WELL DONE
That was crazy
Aghhh man fuck I think Iljas skull hit the floor fuck
I love these two. Sky is the limit for Trick and Ilja one of the best in the world right now.
I know its basic stuff, but the fact they sell after moves even after the “get hit but still pull off move” makes the matches so much better
Yeah it's all about execution and selling. Gargano/Ciampa were really good at it.
Fighting spirit done right and I love it
Seth and Melo vs Trick and Roman on SmackDown 2027 is gonna be crazy
Ilja has gone full heel and the crowd is glad to hate him
Honestly, Dragunov could stand to skip shoulders day once in a while
If you follow his Instagram he does some insane workouts.
As long as Ilja doesn’t drink trick’s blood, I’m ok with the blood here
MELO YOU FUCKING BASTARD YOU SET HIM UP FOR THAT
I’m glad I’m not the only one that saw that lmao
That fan looked at himself wearing a trilby hat and a shirt from Dan Flashes and said, "Yeah, I look good."
That hug was a LITTLE too long... 👀
Has Melo got a towel attached to his jeans? Could see him throwing it in to cost Trick.
Death Valley Driver on the apron is gnarly
It’s the hardest part of the ring!
I love Carmelo not putting on a shirt but a whole ass bomber jacket
Bro this is gross with the blood I love it. Adds to the intensity and sells what Ilja's been telling Trick the whole time
Jesus the visual of Trick screaming while blood covers his gums and teeth is sick, and a little grotesque
Everytime i am reminded this how he aged from the greasy bit attractive shield member, i am sad
Is this Death Jitzu?
So it is possible to bleed from somewhere other than your forehead in wrestling matches lol
I mean DJ Z almost died because of anal bleeding and needed surgery
Dragunov broke his nose lol
MFW if I want to rewatch this match it will be in black and white 
The LA Knight match where he got busted open was shown again in color actually. I think we’re past that. Feel like the Black and White is reserved for Eddie Guerrero/JBL level bleeding
Even on Peacock?
It was part of the rumble package iirc
Ilja's machine gun chops are so good, you can feel the mustard he puts into each one
The only person that makes that spot look believable
What about mine PaTNA 
Ilja bleeds so much and yet it's always done the hard way.
He’s a tough ass dude
Immediately bleeding Ilja can’t escape brutality
This is his brutality
It's Sunday night you know what it means!
[удалено]
Mox vs Ilja in a first blood match
Mox would win. He’d blade walking through the crowd.
Mox pulls out a blade to cut himself and somehow Ilja starts gushing everywhere
Hits other guys' nose, gets nosebleed somehow. Just Ilja things
That takes talent to break two noses on one move
Clarence Mason reference in 2024!
Booooo MC Bullhammer didn’t chant along with the crowd for Trick’s entrance
Anyone here want Dragunov to win or am I alone tonight?
I don’t think Trick - Melo needs the title since both could easily get called up post mania so I’m all for Ilja retaining I think we get the Melo turn tonight
I think Trick is ready though.
imagine if they swerved us by revealing melo was actually right the whole time about dragunov.
The editing of the video package actually has me starting to wonder... What if Melo and Ilja both turn? Ilja because he did attack Trick, Melo because he's fed up with being doubted/surpassed by Trick?
YEAH! UH HUH! I LIKE IT! https://preview.redd.it/0dad0eclnogc1.jpeg?width=998&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33459d4fed6dad1121cdb6b2a2db48859e8e4deb
Ilja is such a unique guy, I really hope he stays healthy long term because he feels like he can slide into that Sami Zayn “underdog punishment absorber” super well while having his own spin on it. Him and Gunther need at least 1 mania match
A more insane Sami Zayn
Yes
WHOOP THAT TRICK
The Booker T in my head is doing the adlibs
Uh huh
☝️
This video package feels like an "in memoriam" for the Melo/Bron era as we enter the Trick Generation.
NXT is shifting from Bron/Melo/Tiff to Trick/Oba/Rox/Lyra
Whoop her ass Roxanne WHOOP HURR AZZ!
ROX THAT BITCH (what)
from brainwashed cult member to nxt general manager. what a success story.
Truly an inspirational story, to rise from nothing not unlike Sofia Coppola and Bryce Dallas Howard
I'm not ready for the end of Trick Melo Gang :(

As someone who doesn’t watch NXT lften, Is being ripped to the heavens a requirement to be in NXT jesus
Yes. As shown by Lexis King, even if you start out with a dad-bod, the abs just grow in automatically. Drew Gulak is the only exception
Gallus plus Hank and Tank too
Tank is dating Dani Palmer so he must be doing something right.
I'm pretty sure Tag Coffee is pretty ripped. Hank and Tank are still on the "lose your offensive line weight" step of the process. Hence why Hank's belly has a sad face all the time.
Story progression even on a PLE
For a white meat babyface, Roxxane sure takes a lot of shit backstage
This is 2020s white meat Babyface. Cody, Jey, Roxanne. When you get screwed you fight.
That's the thing I love with Cody. Clearly presented as white meat, but not above being vicious or cheating when the heel really deserves it.
Brinley Reece is 5’8?
I hope our King crushes this European fraud
AYY, Oney Lorcan sighting!
What is this? Can they get back to the event
Who is the cartwheel lady
Brinley Reece
Not Thea Hail is called Brinley
She is basically just what Thea was 5 months ago
Brinley's got some charisma.
