I\u2019ve warmed up to Sinclair since she joined the No Quarter Catch Crew. She\u2019s shown a good personality to go with her ability in the ring. Jordan continues to grow as a good champion, but sometimes I would like to see more character out of her outside of plucky champion. A little more fire would help her seem more champion-like<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grayson Waller Effect: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two teams where there is a dynamic of dissension. I think Theory has an upside as a baby face, if that\u2019s the route they take. His performances during The Way shows that he can be a lovable doofus, while maintaining credibility in the ring. I see Waller\/Theory breaking before Axiom and Frazer<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good Brothers vs. Hank &amp; Tank: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I give all of the credit in the world to The Good Brothers for putting over a lot of teams in NXT. Hank &amp; Tank are showing great progression in the ring. They\u2019re a fun team to watch. I don\u2019t see them as top tier, but they\u2019re a good mid-card team. I thought the match could\u2019ve gone maybe another 5 minutes longer, but I wouldn\u2019t mind them winding back to a rematch between theses two duos and giving them more time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ora Mensah vs. Lexis King: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I\u2019m mildly intrigued by the ending of this match. King refuses to take the easy, cheap win only to have Mensah win by the same method that King refused to use. I\u2019m not sure where this leads either of these guys, but I wouldn\u2019t mind this feud to continue for a while longer. The whole Father issue back and forth is working to accelerating it.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-179204284\" 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<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;PWT Talks NXT&#8221; with Kelly Wells and Nate Lindberg, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/pwt-talks-nxt-wells-jobin-discuss-stephanie-vaquer-s-on-screen-debut-roxanne-perez-and-guilia-s-face-to-face-more--62099288\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=62099288&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Ridge Holland vs. Riley Osborne: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The destruction tour of Chase U via Ridge Holland continues! This might be the best version of Holland I\u2019ve seen since he entered the WWE. I wasn\u2019t a fan of mopey Ridge, his time with Sheamus &amp; Pete Dunne (don\u2019t call him Butch) was okay, but he\u2019s clicked with me in this iteration of his character. Thea Hail reminds me (in a good way) of one of those small dogs that doesn\u2019t know they\u2019re small and are hyper aggressive, thinking they\u2019re a Mastiff. The Chase U stuff still continues to bring me enjoyment<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wes Lee\/Zach Wentz: Major Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think expletives should be used constantly, but in this case they helped the intensity between these two. I t was short and sweet and has me looking forward to their upcoming street fight. This segment showed that less can be more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rosemary &amp; Wendy Choo vs. Brinley Reese &amp; Karmen Petrovic: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally a win for Rosemary on NXT! This is a little late coming, but at least it finally happened. Rosemary is good on a mic and I\u2019d like to hear more from her in that aspect, if she\u2019s going to be sticking around part time on NXT. Maybe give her and Choo an opportunity to explain their \u2018connection\u2019 to each other. I wasn\u2019t high on Ashante The Adonis playing into the end of the match, but as much as I loathe to admit it, his character is starting to grow on me\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>A-Town Down Under vs. Je\u2019von Evans &amp; Cedric Alexander: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fun match with the right team going over, since they are challenging for the titles in a couple of weeks. Evans can take the losses, as he\u2019s just getting started and won\u2019t hurt his credibility moving forward. That kid has a bright future, for sure. The match between Waller\/Theory and Axiom\/Frazer wouldn\u2019t entice me so much, if it wasn\u2019t for underlying possible dissention between both teams\u2019 members. It\u2019s a fun, yet subtle dynamic.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2107019262\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Roxanne Perez &#8211; Guilia segment: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Man, do I love seeing Funaki! Guilia\u2019s English is limited, but she overcomes any obstacles in the language barrier with her presence. I like the different format with a \u201cpress-like\u201d feel. I also like the appearance of Stephanie Vaquer \u2013 I was sure the title was changing hands on the CW debut, but now I\u2019m not so sure, just from that vignette. The NXT women\u2019s division is stacked and I\u2019m looking forward to future of the division.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay right here and keep the flow going.
