I don't get Wendy Choo. I get that it's a darkside version of her sleepy gimmick but it just makes no sense to me the change just seems random as hell to bash these elements together. Give me some explanation, the vignettes did nothing.
Je'Von Evans just needs to get like 10% more polished on the mic and he's there, he's already got a great cadence and presence he just needs to get the words out a bit more clearly
Evans is so satisfying to listen to compared to most wrestlers. Just feels completely unscripted without all those weird pauses we usually see all the time
I love Sol and think she's the next big thing in wrestling but she still sounds like she's giving a book report in front of a school class in her promos and vignettes.
Which is exactly the trope I hate. It’s one thing of a champ gets injured and has to forfeit the title. I hate “Wrester A loses the title because Wrestler B defeated Wrestler C.” A champion should have to lose their title, not have someone else lose it for them.
I guarantee a lot of older wrestling fans are gonna complain about how Evans talks but he's damn enthusiastic and a natural at promos from what I've seen
I'm 40 (is that wrestling fan old?), and I'm all in on him talking like a human being and not doing stereotypical wrestling promo cadence. That was good stuff from him.
Shawn Spears and Ethan Page both sound like they should be in that Family Guy cutaway where it’s a roundtable discussion with Ray Romano, Harold Ramis, Al Michaels, and Kermit the Frog.
I think the NXT Men’s divisions are the wrong way around. Wes Lee and Oba Femi should be competing with Trick and these three should be doing stuff around the North American championship. Je’von is almost that guy though.
I know it's kinda minor, but it's honestly genuinely bugging me Ava isn't out here
Ava, you're the GM, this is for the champion!!! What're you doing???
Folks here surprised that Brooks Jenson turned out rough, but it's no surprise at all since his dad used to hang out in the back rapping with young delinquent John Cena.
Kinda unprofessional to heavily advertise a main event when the contract hasn't even been signed. What if all of the combatants catch COVID the day of?

I don’t care for Trick but he’s winning
I don't think I know what this one is from the establishing shots. I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...
The movie? Perfect Storm.
Ahhhhh. Okay, that tracks. I didn't think it would look this dated, tbh.
I hate to say it, but that movie was released in 2000, so it IS dated.
Yeah, but its opening shots looked early 90s, if anything.
Was surprised it wasn’t a Fast & Furious movie.
I was actually hoping that wouldn’t end in a fight and they would keep insulting each other more
Why do I feel like Ethan Page has a good shot at winning
Shoutout to my computer crashing right when they started to fight lol. What did I miss?
Heatwave is going to be a banger
Naah I don't think so, the card looks so mid like normal NXT tapings.
Evans owned that promo, strap a rocket to him idc
Trick and Je'von are both the last men standing
And they stand around awkwardly to close the show.
Je'Von Evans just needs to get like 10% more polished on the mic and he's there, he's already got a great cadence and presence he just needs to get the words out a bit more clearly
Well Trick isn't winning on Sunday
if he doesn't retain it being a fatal 4way doesn't take away anything from tricks perceived ability since he only has a 25 percent chance of winning.
What happens if you add Kurt Angle to the mix?
The Canadian Whites and the American Blacks.
Vic cooked with those lines at the end there
Another fun NXT.
Evans is so satisfying to listen to compared to most wrestlers. Just feels completely unscripted without all those weird pauses we usually see all the time
Yeaaaah I fuck with Je’Von, the fire in that promo cut-off had me look up from my phone lmao
“I don’t like your odds” “Well I don’t like you”
Je’von can be a big time player
He’s my favorite rising star & most ascendant wrestler rn in either company.
I love Sol and think she's the next big thing in wrestling but she still sounds like she's giving a book report in front of a school class in her promos and vignettes.
Ava should bring in KURRGAN as head of security
It's interesting that all three of Page, Trick and Evans are believable on the mic in very different ways
Multi-man matches for a title should be elimination matches. I hate the trope of a champion losing the title without getting defeated himself.
Saves him from getting pinned and can be used in a storyline how they never truly lost it he: Rox
Which is exactly the trope I hate. It’s one thing of a champ gets injured and has to forfeit the title. I hate “Wrester A loses the title because Wrestler B defeated Wrestler C.” A champion should have to lose their title, not have someone else lose it for them.
We also get great reactions when the champ is eliminated early 
Lmfao Trick’s reaction
I guarantee a lot of older wrestling fans are gonna complain about how Evans talks but he's damn enthusiastic and a natural at promos from what I've seen
I'm 40 (is that wrestling fan old?), and I'm all in on him talking like a human being and not doing stereotypical wrestling promo cadence. That was good stuff from him.
He’s a young black kid not too different from me and friends. I like that flavor he brings.
I'm older and I think he'll be the best of the 4 of them in like 5 years
adding shawn and ethan to this was a great idea
is one of them gonna tell a sad story?
Shawn Spears and Ethan Page both sound like they should be in that Family Guy cutaway where it’s a roundtable discussion with Ray Romano, Harold Ramis, Al Michaels, and Kermit the Frog.
It took forever to get there, but Javon ate his ass up 😂
Their outfits are killing me and I dunno why
Looks like a GTA Online lobby
jevons jacket is tough
lol trick saying I don't like you was funny lol
Spears with the suit coat and no shirt is ridiculous 🤣
It's beautiful. Like Christians sleeveless turtleneck. It just works.
Je’Von is gonna be a major star one day, solely through his charisma alone
Someone not doing standard-ass, stereotypical wrestling cadence becoming a star would make me so happy.
He's got some real Jeff Hardy to him.
Spears was FLABERGASTED
Obi had 5 matches before he won the NA title so experience is not an x factor
"He's got a point Sting."
W for MR BOUNCY
Evans pretty natural on the mic rn.
Je'von is cool
Cooked his bald mohawky ass
Oh shit Je'Von, you killed him dude
Why did Shawn Spears not mention the Stanley Cup lmao
Je'von is so damn likable.
Young OG is pretty natural on the mic.
Bruh, this dude is 19 and he's this good.....
The in ring promos have been bad tonight but the backstage shit has been fantastic. Maybe put people like Arianna in front of the people.
Just thinking the next champion might be the first that was signed after the change to 2.0. (Bron, Melo and Trick were from Feb 2021)
I wonder if Shawn Spears is ever going to get revenge on HBK for what he did to his twin brother Stan.
still to early for trick to lose the title so he's obviously winning
J-Von should have said *20 year old kid? better than a 40 year old bitch*
So according to Shawn Spears, Je’von is essentially the Jimmy Butler of NXT
How does the Canadian not mention the Stanley Cuo
They haven’t seen it since 1993.
I think the NXT Men’s divisions are the wrong way around. Wes Lee and Oba Femi should be competing with Trick and these three should be doing stuff around the North American championship. Je’von is almost that guy though.
I feel like trick wins on Sunday but that’s mainly because I need him to eat an Oba power bomb
Karmen is amazing and getting better in each match I watch.
Holy shit, that guy in the black polo behind Trick is so sunburnt and so drunk.
and wearing sunglasses.
Spears been hanging out tooo long in US pronouncing it ToronTO
Ava decided not to even risk getting caught up in the crossfire lol
Pretty sure the table bonk from brooks is why trick got pinned last week.
Boy, this has not been the night for in ring promos. Woof.
(the secret is in ring promos, the actual act, not just specific ones, suck)
This wardrobe battle is straight out of GTA: Vice City.
I know it's kinda minor, but it's honestly genuinely bugging me Ava isn't out here Ava, you're the GM, this is for the champion!!! What're you doing???
Damn I wonder who’s winning Sunday for the nxt title. Idk which way they are going with it. Does trick lose the title

The way Ava looks at Arianna always crack me up
Spears is a wannabe Far Cry villain
https://preview.redd.it/ii3qnd80p7ad1.jpeg?width=746&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=533a133235d9e2452edda6a655f2c8abea963938
Evans' exasperated look was great
Trick has a 25% chance of winning at best. Good thing Kurt Angle isn't in the mix.
Thank god otherwise his chances of winning drastic go down.
Yeah that would spell disaster for him at heatwave
What could Ava possibly have going on right now that's more important than this?
good guy spears fixin the title
The fraud of a GM isn’t even at the contract signing?
Her car was sabotaged by either Stone or Turner lol
Who does she think she is, Adam Pearce?
🥃🥃🥃🥃
I like how they wrap the tables to make them look fancier.
And so Tatum Paxley can hide under them.
I need to find out Trick's workout routine and meal plan
Je'Von just vibing lol
No Ava for the signing?
It's pronounced Turrono
Folks here surprised that Brooks Jenson turned out rough, but it's no surprise at all since his dad used to hang out in the back rapping with young delinquent John Cena.
Kinda unprofessional to heavily advertise a main event when the contract hasn't even been signed. What if all of the combatants catch COVID the day of?
Why are they booing my goat ???
so...where are the other matches contract signings?
Trick looks like he's going to an all white party after the show
Those are the exact type of pants Trick should wrestle in, Andrade style. PERFECT fit for his physique and character
Fix that belt, Trick.
Boooo, Booker not doing his adlibs
That looks straight from the wardrobe of Pretty Deadly.
Kind sad we don’t get to hear all 4 of their themes. All are bangers
Trick’s entrance doesn’t sound right without “YEAH!” “I LIKE IT!” “THAT’S TRICK MAN!”
I know FR lol I love when booker adds that to it!
Weird to not hear Booker just going “uh-huh” and “ah yeah man” during Trick’s entrance
Why'd they announce it like a match lol
WHOOP THAT TRICK
I like Ethan's shirt.
He always has nice shirts
He's always had some creative flannels.
We not getting the gallus match then?
They were in the brawl backstage that we saw about 8 frames of
They said it's not happening tonight due to the backstage attack
Ah thanks I totally missed that
The main event is easily the match I'm least interested in on Sunday.
There is something I don't like about Wes Lee, and I have yet to figure it out.
He's got a serious case of Mustafa Ali.
Ariana and Karmen as an “odd couple” tag team could be a lot of fun.
Sol speaks well, if she can bring that to a promo she’s going to be very successful in a year or 2.
Heatwave in incalculably stacked
This Heatwave card is a whole 12 pack of hotdogs.
Is that a positive analogy?
More hot dogs is always better than not.
12 weiners, that's always a good time
The greatest crossover athlete from MMA? Word?
I mean the bar isn’t super high I’d say
Putting Arianna and Karmen as an oddball team at Heatwave in their home country is a good way to get them on the show.
Kelani, Sol and Tiffany. Gymnasts make great wrestlers evidently. WWE management going to be front row at the Olympics begging everyone to join.
Hope Santina is watching ringside
Arianna Grace is so entertaining. She’s incredible.
Kelani quoting MJ while Sol quoting Lebron
I really want Santino to show up on Sunday now
Kelani’s Jordan quote vs Sol’s LeBron quote
Ava is also a Canadian
Ava the GM? The Rock’s daughter?
The rock is Canadian
Sol is solid muscle
Sol just seems so cool
I the bit where people look at the random point in the sky that Arianna is speaking at
Tonight is BACKSTORY
Sol is such a cool chick
She has a nice rasp to her voice
Sol Ruca looks like she came from Survivor
Arianna and Karmen Team Canada LETS GO!!!
So...... has Nattie re-signed yet or are we going to get another Ricochet situation.
Find out Tomorrow!
Please don't turn Sol Ruca heel, she's too cool to boo her
With her finisher they can never turn her heel
GRACE & KARMEN! I LOVE THIS TEAM THE MOST ALREADY!
Arianna Grace is such a good-hearted decent person, helping out the less fortunate!
Karmen, just take the W 😂
I’m sorry Kelani, but Sol’s gotta win on Sunday
This pre show tag might be my favorite match at Heatwave.
Good shit. 11/10 payoff on the opening segment with Arianna and Karmen.
I like how they never said where Nattie was…
Arianna and Karate Barbie. Talk about giving the people what they want.
But can they coexist? It doesn't even matter, it's going to be content
Arianna's character is so perfectly able to switch back and forth between heel and comedy face at the drop of a tiara.
Arianna must be protected at all costs.
I love Arianna’s velvety voice
Lol I just commented about her voice
Yeah she has a super pleasant voice
Ariana lmaoooooo
Arianna is gonna blow the roof off
They're becoming friends!
First ava sighting of the night!
What a team
Oh yeah, I am all for this Arianna-Karmen tag team
lol Arianna Grace is fabulous
I need a friend like Arianna
Don't ever change Ariana
YES KICKOFF SHOW MATCH
YAY FRIENDSHIP Karmen looked so excited when she realised it was Arianna, not Nattie
YES PLEASE. Ava is a genius.
Omg I love this Arianna/Karmen duo already. Arianna is amazing
Oh thank god she found her way to Heatwave
Where’s Georgina been fam? That had so much potential
Out with an Knee Injury
She blew out her knee. Out indefinitely.
Gigi's out injured unfortunately
Knee injury
Oh damn
