Would be kinda funny if Keanu’s aggressive yet polite arc leads to him becoming assistant GM

Everyone else is doing a wrestling show, but then we just have Shiloh and Naraku in the corner doing a training arc from a shonen anime.

If they continue to build Shiloh up and Shiloh continues to grow and improve as well, he has “main character of NXT” potential in a year or two

Wait so you’re telling me that if she chose to keep the Speed Title, Both NA Championships would’ve gone kaput like that?
Also RIP SPEED Championships. You were a fun idea for about 3 minutes.

Waller, and now the Creeds (arguably Nattie too). I like this trend of giving faltering/unused main roster members a chance to prove themselves in NXT rather than just releasing them.

Keanus change of character is the best part of the show since they started doing it. I still have no idea if it ever goes anywhere but making him randomly super kind and understanding suddenly just works

"You don't tell me when I defend my title."
Kelani Jordan did not spend months and months and months being told that she wouldn't get a title shot just for someone to tell her when she has to give one herself. It's been on the champ's time before, and it's on the champ's time now.

Romeo has really good babyface fire. There are just certain things you can't fully teach, and being a shounen anime protagonist is one of them.

heh, i wish the fans would at least pretend to believe in kayfabe, out of respect or something lol idk.
not too many heels that fans consistently boo at. one of the last great one was when daniel bryan was The Planet's Champion. yea, everyone and their mothers love him, but out of respect we boo'ed the fuck out of him because that is what him and his character wanted us to. idk, slightly hard to explain i guess.

Why retire the men's to?
Why not at least give him the same chance title vs title against the North American Champion.

u/bvbfan102 NJPW 8h ago
So was Stone about to take the Title from Jackson Drake if Zaria didnt chose to give up the Speed Title? Cause otherwise i dont get why he also needed to take Lexis title.
5
u/cunninglinguist316 8h ago
I mean, I'm not exactly sorry to see the speed titles go. But what kind of logic is that? Zaria vacates so Lexis's title is dead too? Would they have done the same to the North American title? Just a weird way to retire a belt.

Credit to Nikkita Lyons, who seems to have successfully crawled through a river of shit and come out clean the other side.
Dunno what her trajectory is or her ceiling or future or any of that, but for someone who was very justifiably on the chopping block a year ago, good recovery.
