Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-Carmelo Hayes just needs that championship, doesn\u2019t he? He\u2019s so good talking about himself as a champion and that confidence positions that title as supremely important. Having Solo Sikoa after the North American title on the heels of Hayes winning it also elevates its status.<\/p>\n<p>-How does Grayson Waller fit into the Sikoa\/Hayes stuff? Not sure and that\u2019s not a good thing for him.<\/p>\n<p>-Not a stellar showing from Josh Briggs or Von Wagner. Just surprised that the mighty Wagner lost like that. Has the shine of his size worn off?<\/p>\n<p>-Let\u2019s talk more Solo Sikoa. Because, why not? He\u2019s a great talent. He\u2019s got the look, the size, the swagger, and the ring capability to go really far. One of the only talents in NXT 2.0 that the audience seems to genuinely be behind organically.<\/p>\n<p>-Good match between Santos Escobar and Nathan Frazer. The story with Tony D\u2019Angelo on commentary? Not so much. The \u201cI didn\u2019t tell him to do that\u201d narrative D\u2019Angelo was spinning was repetitive and not very impactful. Legado as part of D\u2019Angelo\u2019s family has already run its course. Get to the finale, folks.<\/p>\n<p>-Bron Breakker with a paint by numbers babyface victory promo, but I suppose it worked? Breakker has a special intensity and he needs to find a way to show that within promos without yelling.<\/p>\n<p>-A.J. Styles is one thing. Dolph Ziggler is one thing. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1534399823444574209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apollo Crews<\/a>, though? Yes, he\u2019ll get a very good match out of Bron Breakker, but what is the draw of seeing him challenge for the NXT Championship? I get the idea, but ultimately, this is Breakker \u2013presumably an important talent for WWE, just wrestling C-level Smackdown talent.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-944433929\" 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>-I don\u2019t know Mr. Joe Gacy. Day by day you become just a poor man\u2019s Undertaker.<\/p>\n<p>-As I said last week, Roxanne Perez was really the only option as the Women\u2019s Breakout Tournament winner. The upside is huge with her and she has a history of delivering on the indy circuit. If I\u2019m WWE, I\u2019m going all the way with her right now and showing the audience right away that she is a star worth investing in.<\/p>\n<p>-If Pretty Deadly was slated for a main roster call up with Max Dupri, this was a strange way to go about it. It looks like there is more to come with Chase U for them, so what gives?<\/p>\n<p>-All about the Alba Fyre gimmick. A match with Lash Legend isn\u2019t going to bring the best out of her at this point, but she\u2019s still one of the more interesting characters on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>-More Diamond Mine disagreements. The faction is a ticking bomb, but so far, the slow burn on it exploding has worked.<\/p>\n<p>-A solid main event with the babyfaces going over strong. Sikoa and Hayes already have a nice chemistry together. Their upcoming program should be a blast.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/06\/08\/wwe-raw-receipt-cody-rhodes\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S RAW RECEIPT 6\/6: Cody Rhodes keeps momentum from Hell in a Cell<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3369706660\"><div id=\"pwtor-1473816381\"><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.
