Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-Pretty Deadly has a high upside in NXT 2.0 and for WWE as a whole. They have good looks, can talk, and can go in the ring. All signs point to these guys sticking at this point.<\/p>\n<p>-Let\u2019s get the Bron Breakker and Joe Gacy stuff out of the way now, shall we? What a miss. A miss and a miss on multiple levels. Joe Gacy is a confused character. Is it about being a horror movie villain and second coming of Funhouse Bray Wyatt? Or is it PC Joe Gacy? We\u2019ve seen both and neither are good, but he needs to stay in a lane. As for Breakker, he wasn\u2019t good while being asked to act and sell for Gacy\u2019s ridiculousness. Breakker\u2019s star power comes from his intensity. The silly vignettes we saw this week eliminated that strength. Look, in the middle of the card, the Gacy stuff is fine. Main event, though? No.<\/p>\n<p>-Tiffany Stratton vs. Sarray? Yep, that happened.<\/p>\n<p>-Grayson Waller and Sanga now at odds feels out of the blue, but was the absolute right call to make. They didn\u2019t have chemistry and Waller is stronger as a standalone act.<\/p>\n<p>-The feud we need to see is Cora Jade vs. Roxanne Perez. Winner takes the \u201cI\u2019m a fan turned wrestler\u201d gimmick and runs. Perez has the higher upside thus far and showed it during her match this week. Just a more complete project than Jade at this point.<\/p>\n<p>-Great stuff between <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1516930221831819268\">Carmelo Hayes<\/a> and Santos Escobar. Good chemistry and a good match. Escobar is ready for the main roster and Hayes won\u2019t be too far behind him.<\/p>\n<p>-Natalya is a good addition to the NXT roster. Lots of directions for her to go as the veteran heel on the show.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-437951889\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Wes Lee is in a really rough spot. He lost his tag team partner, which sends the MSK act to the depths. He\u2019s essentially starting over as a singles act. The promo this week worked well and sounded good, but a three-minute loss to Xyon Quinn doesn\u2019t scream that he\u2019s in line for any kind of push.<\/p>\n<p>-Duke Hudson and Dexter Lumis take a loss in their first real tag match together.
