Review Watch WWE NXT 10/3/23 3rd October 2023 Live Online

I don’t watch AEW, you just gave me bonus A listers

Rhea and Dom are the 2 most over people in the most over faction in wrestling.

They weren’t splitting them up. But made people thought they were.

Look at the amount of social media views the Rhea and Dom segment got on RAW.

I genuinely don’t give a shit about ratings, but, I’m hoping more eyes stick around and watch whole show next week.

Shawn’s face smiling behind Paul Heyman was the absolute topper after all the good on this show tonight.

I personally couldn’t believe it when they announced that the Undertaker was coming out of retirement to make a guest appearance on NXT next week.

Cena, Asuka, Heyman and Becky will all be on NBexT next week.

Ratings are going to be fucking nuts.

Edit: I forgot about Cody! This dude is definitely recruiting Trick for Judgement Day payback.

He needs work in the ring though. I get he just started in 2021.

Disappointed about Trick, but this an unpredictable exchange of titles is what fans are after. No waiting until a PLE. We’ve just seen a heel beat a face, and we aren’t happy about it. This was an unhappy ending in the way that it should be.

With NXT as it is, I believe that Dom could hold that title for months, or for only a few days if Trick shows up on RAW. We saw how hard they are pushing main roster talent being in next week’s show. I can see a re-rematch being set up in a promo on RAW for Halloween Havoc.

All of these big stars appearing on NXT next week is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with WWE trying to counter Dynamite next Tuesday.

episode.

It wasn’t until today that I realized Sweeps is still a thing for TV in the US

Cody and ROMAN are gonna be on NXT next week?

You’d think Tony and Triple H would look at how HBK cooks with the Women’s division and take notes.

Great show my only issue was Trick only holding the NA title for 3 days.

the HeartBookKid has the award locked up 😤😤😤

NXT is basically stacked for the rest of the month. First the “get off of our night” show next week, then a week of set-up for Halloween Havoc, then two weeks of Havoc.

(Plus, Roman’s back on Smackdown on the 13th, and I believe also advertised for the 27th.)

but I’m sad that Trick had such a short reign being as over as he is now.

What else does he have to do? This sets up a brotherly spat about pride and brotherhood, between the two for them to tide them over till after Rumble, Melo then goes for one last push to reclaim the NXT title, loses and gets called up post Mania. Meanwhile, Trick then goes back for the NA title after with a renewed mindset and focus.

Ilja needs the title for a little while, lets a few others possibly step up in the mean time to get some more plates spinning.

I enjoy NXT and AEW and watch both), it’s awesome to see the women being showcased so strongly! It’s cool that they’re building up the newer women but also giving established workers things to do consistently.

And my man Ilja is champ again! I’m interested to see where they go with him, considering the easy route would have been for him to have Trick’s back simply because he’s more or less a face. Hopefully the Mad Dragon stays a tweener whose main focus is to guard his gold. Er. Silvery rainbow ishness.

I kind of wish WWE gives NXT the Wednesday slot again. Then both companies would be on another level.

I have no clue if it was intentional but in my mind it was and it was the perfect way to end the show.

About Indi Hartwell coming back to NXT just four months after getting called up to the main roster and vacating the NXT Women’s Championship just to get a title shot at the NXT Women’s Championship…

It’s just the funniest shit to me lol… Because it just says so much about her current run on the main roster under Triple H’s booking lol… And I have already discussed and complained in the past on this subreddit about how she and a lot of the other NXT call ups were being set up on the main roster with Indi Hartwell specifically doing nothing besides mostly sitting in catering and wrestling on WWE Main Event… I mean she did tag team with Candice LeRae where she literally made her debut entrance during a commercial break lol…

Also, what was up with the NXT crowd booing the heck out of Roxanne Perez…? I’d expect that from a Raw or Smackdown crowd, but not from the sweetest and most welcoming wrestling crowd ever… That was pretty bizarre…

Also, they definitely have future plans for Trick Williams because no way would they give him the North American Championship even if it was just for two days and not do anything with him afterwards, especially with how hot and over he is with the crowd, so I’m not really worried about him.

swerved until it happens to YOUR guy/girl. Oh well, I think they’re STILL going to be majorly pushing Trick, I don’t think he’s out of North American championship contention yet. ALSO.

SCREW IT JUST GOING TO PUT ALL MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SHOW HERE—Overall: great show. Loved Ilja’s and Trick’s interaction. Didn’t expect them going in the MELO being jealous route (if they’re even going for it). We got Indi back which is Pog! The Breakout Women’s tournament is going to push a few women and develop them further (I currently only really see Jakara as the breakout/standout here but I KNOW there will be more. Bates and Breakker (esp. with the Heyman backing) show more push to go the main roster (which I NEVER really like because when they go to the main roster they just get buried and never see the light of day due to WWE’s main roster booking. It sucks. So many great people move to the roster and then just never get anything done with them).

I’m actually sad to see Yulisa León get let go, her and Valentina Feroz were freaking GREAT. Last year I was so fucking hyped seeing their fast, acrobatic performance, probably the best women’s wrestling in NXT in a WHILE only a year later for them to not get pushed and Yulisa let go. That fucking SUCKS. She’s super talented. Ilja as champion is 👌, I’m definitely looking forward to seeing who’s next in line for the championship (I want to be like “Maybe Triiiiiiiiiiiick?” but he’s just not there yet), we’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see.

Not even counting the whole stacking the card for next week thing, NXT remains the most slept on wrestling show right now.

As a big fan of both AEW and main roster WWE,

Cody vs Cena and Becky vs Asuka on Lvl Up for shits and giggles

Hbk cannot take Ls it seems.

The win since Ali was supposed to take it there but with Ali gone and likely no plan in place for a Trick title run they shifted it back to Dom probably for Lee to take it off him eventually.

And losing in ratings to AEW, then a year later going to AEW and losing in ratings to NXT is the funniest bit of trivia

For my Friendos who might linger here I can guarantee Steve will learn about next week’s stacked card and somehow find a way to shit on NXT’s set design

I’m tired of judgement day

And Jade on NXT next week to bury AEW even more.

So they cannot allow the ratings to drop excessively and if they compete with another wrestling show it will undoubtedly happen, so it seems logical to me that they try to maintain the ratings by announcing big things for next week to keep viewers tuned in.

Asuka, Cena, and Cody on NXT is absolutely bananas.
