WWE NXT Review – 11.1.22
Bron Breakker has a new challenger, will we see R-Truth again!?
Hey Y’all, Will here with my review of NXT for 11.1.22 live from the Capitol Wrestling Center. Let’s get
into it.
Bron Breakker comes out and talks about Halloween Havoc and how it was a great night with Wes Lee
winning the North American title and Julius Creed’s victory. He’s then interrupted by Pretty Deadly who
insult Bron and say they should be the ones opening the show and not him. This brings out the new
North American champ Wes Lee who comes out to thank Bron for his kind words and insults Pretty
Deadly being more concerned about their looks than starting the show. This leads to Bron proposing a
tag team title match with Wes and Bron challenging Pretty Deadly for the tag team titles. (Not a bad way
to start the show).
First match of the night we have R-Truth v. Grayson Waller in an ok match. R-Truth started to show signs
of Cena via the five moves of Cena although after Truth does a split to avoid a Waller offensive, Truth
misses a dive outside of the ring and takes a hard bump, this eventually leads to medical helping Truth
out of the area and the refs stops the match with Waller getting the W. (Unfortunately injuries happen
and R-Truth may have a legitimate injury and will recover soon.)
Well then we have a Schism interview with their newest member, Ava Raine, who has been the talk of
the social wrestling world. As she begins to explain how she joined Schism, the interviewer suggested
that Cameron Grimes insinuated that Ava may have been brainwashed by Schism. Ava, enraged says no
brainwashed her and she saw what Grimes couldn’t in Schism. (Well, welcome to NXT Ava, l guess the
Schism v. Grimes feud continues)
Next up we have Kiana James v. Thea Hail in a very short, but sloppy match. A lot of missed spots as
Kiana James eventually get the W. (James did her best to make this match work, but Hail looks green as
grass in this and you can tell the match wasn’t getting anywhere with the crowd, they were that quiet.)
A lot in between follows next, McKenzie is with Briggs, Jensen and Henley and asks about the main
event. They say they’re rooting for the baby faces but if they don’t do it, they’re waiting in the
wings. Kiana James’ assistant hands over some paperwork and they read it without revealing what
it is. Backstage, Wes Lee and Bron Breakker are commiserating in preparation for their match when
Robert Stone walks in and chastises Bron for not defending his title. He wants a title match for Von
Wagner, and Bron says next time Von should come himself. (a lot of tv filler here, l’m concerned)
Next up we have Odyssey Jones v. Javier Bernal and it was a quick one. Jones almost damn near puts on
a clinic winning easily over Javier. (Not sure what was supposed to come of this, it was practically a
squash match)
We then get Toxic Attraction’s celebration of Mandy Rose 1-year reign as NXT Women’s Champ. There’s
fanfare, video, and even a lot of bragging from the champ herself. Until the ring fills with smoke and
Alba Fyre who appears and take out Gigi as Jacy and Mandy escape from the ring. Alba says this week
she took out Gigi and next week Jacy is next, in two weeks she’s taking the NXT Women’s title. (So,
Halloween Havoc should have been where Alba should have gotten the belt so now, we’re beginning a
new possible four-week program leading to another women’s title match!?)
McKenzie is backstage with Apollo Crews and he says Pretty Deadly got their moment in the sun
with Bron Breakker but the NXT Universe wants a match between them. So does he, but he doesn’t
believe Bron does because he’s a matchup problem for anyone in NXT including Bron. He says Bron
hasn’t said anything since they stared off. He says that Bron has been running from him. Von walks
in and says not to waste his time looking at Bron because he’s the future of the title. We get a new
recorded call from SCRYPTS where they say WWE can screen his calls but not his fury. He says
coming to NXT almost feels like home and he will leave his mark.
We then get our next match of Indi Hartwell v. Zoey Stark in a fairly decent match as Hartwell gets the
W. (looks like the beginning of Zoey’s heel turn)
T-BAR talks about how his lies are no longer shielded and something about a new order of high
justice in NXT. It isn’t about anger or frustration; it’s about authority. His authority. Valentina asks
Sanga what’s going on and to be in her corner tonight. Veer walks up and Sanga says he can’t.
Valentina leaves and Veer says kindness is weakness. They leave. Nikkita asks Zoey what’s going on
with her. Zoey says she’s frustrated by the loss but promises she’ll be on her game next week.
Katana and Kayden walk up and say they have no momentum and will lose next week, and Zoey
almost goes after them. (A lot of tv filler again, l’m concerned)
Then we get another quick match of Cora Jade v. Valentina Feroz in a squash match as Cora wins with
practically little difficulty. Post-match, Jade goes after Feroz but Wendy comes to make the save. She
nails Jade and grabs the kendo stick, and Jade bails.
We finally get our main event of the night for the NXT Tag Team titles with Pretty Deadly vs. Bron
Breakker and Wes Lee. Great match, probably the best match of the night as all four men went at it
and the first time the crowd tonight got really into it. It wasn’t until interference from Von Wagner
that allows Pretty Deadly to win and retain their titles (looks like we have another Bron/Wagner
feud) to end the show.
Overall, this NXT episode was really a letdown considering the Havoc and the previous one before the
premium live event. The matches either were short or squashes, a lot of filler in-between and felt like
more things were being set up for next week. Hopefully it will be worth it. My rating for this week’s NXT
is 2 chair shots out of 5.
Peace!

WWE RAW 10.31.22 Review -
Mayhem On All Hallows Eve
Hey Y’all, Will here with my review of WWE Raw for 10.31.22. Let’s get into it
We start off with a Non-title match between Bianca Belair v. Nikki Cross (finally we dropped the A.S.H.
gimmick, it only took a year plus) in a decent match as Nikki is back to her deranged gimmick and the
offensive move set that comes with it. However, Bianca does what she does best, show up and show out
in the match as well. It was fairly decent till Damage CTRL came down to interfere and Cross was able to
fight some off but runs into Bianca’s KOD as BelAir gets the win. Post-match Damage CTRL jumps BelAir
as Asuka and Alexa Bliss run to the ring to lay out Damage CTRL and stand tall with BelAir in the ring.
(Great match before the interruption but we’ve done this before, we’ve seen the six-woman tag match,
and it seems Damage CTRL seems to be in everything with everyone. It needs a refresh, either have the
tag team titles on the line or dare l say put Bianca’s title run in jeopardy but something needs to
change.)
We get a video recap of the events between Lesnar and Lashley over the last couple of weeks (Well,
when you got 3 hours you have to fill it up somehow)
We go backstage as Bianca, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss are being interview about their feud with Damage
CTRL. Bianca talks about her Last Standing Match at Crown Jewel against Bayley (Blood PPV). Bliss then
says she and Asuka have a score to settle with the tag team champs Iyo and Dakota as they challenge
them to a tag team title match later on tonight. (Well, look at God. I would hope the actual title match
would be on PPV to hype up the blood PPV because having it on RAW unless they actually drop the title
would feel more like time filler but we will see.)
Then we get a satellite interview between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley but Lesnar is not there as
Bobby points it out. Lesnar’s music hits and he heads to the ring, saying he didn’t come for an interview,
he came to fight. Lashley meets him in the ring and the two began to brawl as the locker room, referees,
and even Triple H comes down to separate the two, with threats that their match is off if they touch
each other again. (Well, if you want to hype up a match that’s about 20 years too late l guess that’s the
best way to do it.)
We get another non-title match between US Champ Seth Rollins and Mr. Money in The Bank Austin
Theory in a fairly decent match but kinda short, as Rollins counters a pin attempt by Theory which leads
into a stomp by Rollins for the win.
We go to the parking lot when an SUV pulls up and out comes the WWE Undisputed Champ Roman
Reigns, who comes to the ring and after saying to the crowd acknowledge him, he begins to talk about
his upcoming match with Logan Paul and how he will smash him in the match at Crown Jewel. The Miz’s
music hits and out comes the Miz who says he knows Logan Paul better than anyone and offers a deal
with Roman to help him with his stalker problem as Miz will help Roman with Paul. Roman lays out Miz
with a Superman punch to end to segment with Miz laid out. (This segment was amplified by the Ucey
gimmick Sami Zayn did on Smackdown and its starting to catch like wildfire, and it’s awesome.)
We come back to Miz in the trainer’s room holding ice on his face as he is being told Gargano will sit
down in an interview later tonight but Miz doesn’t care and wants his match with Ali tonight to be
cancelled. Ali comes in and says why does Miz want to cancel, when Ali is ready to go, since everything is
bigger in Texas, well almost everything. (Annnnnnndd, we’re back to the Miz and his balls… again. This is
the difference between Ucey and Miz’s balls, one got over naturally and one is being forced.) Miz
changes his mind and the match with Ali is on for later tonight.
Next up we get Damian Priest v. Karl Anderson in a short match, as Priest looks like he was setting up for
the Reckoning, but Anderson counters it into a backslide pin for the win. Post match the Judgement Day
and the OC brawl as Ripley low blows Gallows, Priest hits a Razor’s Edge on Styles, Balor hits the Coup
De Grace on Anderson, and Mysterio hits a Frog Splash on Styles as the Judgement Day stands tall over
the OC. (This needs to go to somewhere, we’re repeating last week just in reverse)
We then get a quick segment between Omos and MVP who addressed Braun Strowman’s comments
from Smackdown and MVP stated that he and Omos will be there at Smackdown this Friday with a
surprise for Strowman. (Let’s hope it’s a match because the slow build isn’t helping)
Then we get JBL coming to the ring saying it’s great to be back in Texas as he welcomes Baron Corbin
and begins to put him over as he tries to get heat off the crowd saying everyone knows the truth. Yet,
somehow R-Truth’s music hits and he comes to the ring with a horse and a cowboy hat. R-Truth comes
to the ring to tell Dallas a Happy Halloween as JBL says he looks ridiculous and R-Truth says JBL looks like
a hostile, steaming old man. (Creative, l know you shouldn’t mention Vincent McMahon, but since its
TV-14 now you could just say JBL looks like McMahon before his first lawsuit, that’s a shot). This allows
Corbin hit R-Truth from behind and hit End of Days on R-Truth. (l feel like this becoming a thing with R-
Truth who can deliver comedy gold but Corbin needs a feud, quickly. JBL on this promo tour gimmick
isn’t ready working here.)
We then get a Trick or Street Fight between Matt Riddle v. Otis. (Yes we were bound to have a holiday
themed match, although l miss the attitude bra and panties match but l digress). It was a hard hitting
match but a short one as Gable tried to jump in and clothesline Riddle in which Elias comes in and puts
Gable through a table and then slides a Jack of Latern over Otis’s head as he misses a Vader bomb which
leads to Riddle hitting the RKO on Otis for the win.
We saw Damage CTRL talking to Nikki Cross and Bayley is hyping up the tag team champs before their
upcoming match to remind them they are taking over the women’s division.
We then get the match between The Miz vs. Mustafa Ali in a really great match as Ali just shined in this
match and the Miz was definitely doing a great job of putting Ali over. During the match, Dexter Lumis
appears in the crowd and distracts Miz long enough for Ali to hit a superkick and then a 450 splash for
the win.
We then get the Gargano’s interview in which he states that the big secret between Dexter Lumis and
the Miz was that the Miz took advantage of Lumis’ financial situation and orchestrated the stalkings,
kidnappings, because the Miz was paying Lumis to do it. However, those payments must have ended
now that Lumis is coming for what he is owed. (So weeks of Lumis stalking, kidnapping Miz and the
bombshell may not have had the impact it did, if anything it feels like lazy creative writing)
We get our main event of the night as Women’s Tag Team titles are on the line with Damage CTRL vs.
Alexa Bliss and Asuka. Both Bayley and Belair are at ringside as well. Both teams definitely put on a lot of
offense however the turning point was when Bayley distracted the referee as it looks Asuka was going to
make Iyo tap out to the Asuka lock. Belair takes out Bayley. Sky tries to go for a moonsault as Asuka
avoids it and tags in Bliss who hits Twisted Bliss for the win and we have new women’s tag team champs
as the show ends. (Well, can’t say l didn’t call it, lol. As we are going into Crown Jewel, something
needed to change to refresh the feud as the only thing left would be the RAW Women’s title match,
now l would like to think that the title will not change hands overseas but this changing of tag team title
champs will hopefully send some part of Damage CTRL somewhere else.)
Overall, not a bad Halloween show, some segments weren’t needed, at the same time the Miz angle had
very little impact, and the Reigns segment did a lot more with a lot less. However, having Damage CTRL
drop the title refreshes the feud so not a bad show, my review for this episode of RAW is 3 ½ chair shots
out of 5.
Peace!
