They say things that are dangerous in nature, but their mannerisms, music, and overall presentation comes across as comedic.<\/p>\n<p>-Wes Lee is on the \u201clet\u2019s get sympathy on this guy\u201d losing streak in NXT right now and it just might work for him. Lee eventually beating Von Wagner after getting the audience behind him with the losses will help position him as singles act out of MSK. WWE can\u2019t do this story regularly, but in this instance, it\u2019s the smartest way to go given the circumstances around Lee.<\/p>\n<p>-Sanga essentially turning babyface and siding with Wes Lee was a surprise. Not a terrible reaction from the crowd or anything, but it seemed like both were on separate paths. This smells like an odd couple tag team story and that isn\u2019t exciting with so much of that present on WWE television.<\/p>\n<p>-Alba Fyre has a helluva gimmick. That thing is main event level and not just in the NXT 2.0 environment.<\/p>\n<p>-Roxanne Perez winning the Women\u2019s Breakout Tournament is essential at this point. She\u2019s got a bright future and showed why again this week.<\/p>\n<p>-I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, but Katana Chance and Kayden Carter were good this week. I don\u2019t say that often, but they showed fire and appeared to gel working with Toxic Attraction. Should be a good tag match at In Your House between both teams.<\/p>\n<p>-Did Mandy Rose sell for a bunch of beach balls? Like, did that really happen? The NXT Women\u2019s Champion?<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2515567689\" 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>-Von Wagner continues to be a head scratcher for me. The guy has not gotten better at a single thing since debuting on television. He\u2019ll get every opportunity due to his size, but it\u2019s just not clicking. Plus, it\u2019s SO not clicking that his height may not be able to save him in the end.<\/p>\n<p>-Cameron Grimes and Carmelo Hayes understand the game they\u2019re playing. They know they\u2019ll have a great match with each other in the ring, but WWE values the ability to successfully perform in content gobbling segments like The Barber Shop. Both guys delivered there this week.<\/p>\n<p>-Bron Breakker had a nice night in the ring. He connected on some cool looking moves and some traditional wrestling holds that popped the audience. He didn\u2019t sell well \u201closing his cool\u201d opposite Gacy. Bottom line, Breakker trying to control his aggressiveness isn\u2019t a story people want to watch. That\u2019s his character? This story takes away a big part of the Breakker act that\u2019s connecting right now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/24\/wwe-raw-receipt-2\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S RAW RECEIPT 5\/23: Riddle cuts a stellar promo with business and character its core<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3978755123\"><div id=\"pwtor-449036805\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week\u2019s episode of NXT 2.0 has wrapped.
