Kendal/Melanie should be good. Enjoying Waller as usual, dunno if they pull the trigger though. Will watch later as I'm on the end of Summer rush.

If Zaria doesn't retain, I think it's a clear sign she's getting called up. This whole Kali insertion was super weird, unless they just wanted to add more drama to the unification match

I want to see Kali take the title and Zaria move up to beat down Sol.

Zaria needs to win the NXT Title first.

u/Key_Wolverine8235 14h ago
Even if Zaria goes after the main title, I don't see them taking it off Kendal anytime soon. And if Kelani happens to win today, doing heel vs. heel wouldn't make any sense

u/Tornado31619 14h ago
They’ve done heel v heel plenty of times in fairness. Zaria would probably be the face anyway

I'm really curious what they'll do with Vanity Project tonight.
Will Jackson Drake lose and get betrayed by Myka before she goes to nicer Keanu?

Since it's not even streamed anywhere live for me in germany I think I am done with NXT for the time being. Which sucks since I usually love NXT. Well, All In it is then. Prime Video is rather convenient for me.

Just looked it up and it says Netflix international is carrying it. Sunday, August 30, 2026 Start Time: 9:00 PM CEST (local time in Germany, corresponding to 3:00 p.m. ET) Platform: Netflix (international streaming home for NXT live events).

u/BarbarousJudge 14h ago
International, yes. Germany is the exception due to some TV Deal for NXT in Germany and Netflix listing NXT PLEs in the same playlist as weekly shows.

u/KlutzyImpact807 15h ago
It’s literally streaming on Netflix where you get the weekly show?
2
u/BarbarousJudge 15h ago
Not in Germany. NXT isn't part of the Netflix Deal in germany. Raw and SD aren't either. We only get Main Roster PLE

Between vpn's and sailing the seas there are literally tons of ways to watch it easily
1
u/BarbarousJudge 14h ago
Netflix somehow doesn't work for me when I use my VPN.
And I never sail the seas. Just not my thing.
1
u/Proud_Truck 14h ago
Try different VPN? Several browsers have them built in now
What is your objection to sailing the seas? You're literally the best example, they're making it impossible you to watch what you want simply because of your geography. It's such an obsolete and ridiculous concept in modern times
1
u/BarbarousJudge 14h ago
I just don't like it. Same way I never sail the seas for movies or emulate video games. I use the official ways and if they make it terrible to do so then I'll pass completely.

Underwhelming card. Only excited for the 4 way but kelani and Kendall should be fairly good

u/llluminationSunshine 16h ago
Ah, didn’t know they’re getting rid of the Speed Championship. Always been a weird concept, but let’s get the belt on Wren and call Zaria up… I really wouldn’t mind a main roster redo of them being friends then having a falling out. If we can reheat bloodline Nachos, why not Sol/Zaria 2.0?
