They were quiet pretty much throughout the whole math. I really like the team of Morgan and Rodriguez and I was happy to see them recapture the titles on Raw.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lexis King vs. Noam Dar: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Welcome back, Noam Dar! It was awesome to see his return. I really missed his Supernova Sessions and I\u2019m tentatively encouraged at his winning The Heritage Cup. It was used mostly as comedy for the Meta Four group during his last run, so I\u2019d like to see it become a more seriously thought of \u2018title\u2019. And I\u2019m probably in the minority, but please bring back the Heritage Cup rules. That was part of what made it so unique. This one pin and it\u2019s open thing doesn\u2019t work for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thea Hail vs. Fallon Henley: Minor Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really love Thea Hail and it\u2019s great that she\u2019s back, but did Henley do something to piss someone off in the back? This match only lasted 2 plus minutes. Is Fallon getting a call up or was this just a vehicle for her to revert back to a babyface? I like her work as a heel sometimes, but she clicked far more as the lovable country-girl face. The whole group really hasn\u2019t taken off like Toxic Attraction did, so maybe it\u2019s time to reboot to disband the trio.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\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-kelly-wells-and-nate-lindberg-talk-wrestlemania-weekend-implications-on-nxt-noam-dar-and-chase-university-returning-more--65674954\">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=65674954&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>Trick Williams-Oba Femi-Joe Hendry face off: Hit<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3366172250\" 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>Say his name and he appears! I loved this segment. Hendry\u2019s rebuttal to Trick\u2019s comment about his Wrestlemania loss was awesome. A close second was Oba\u2019s crack about making the same mistake as Moose. All three were awesome and I\u2019m really hoping we see a Trick turn, especially with the catalyst being his obsession with becoming NXT championship<\/p>\n<p><strong>D\u2019Angelo family segments: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know these kinds of things require viewers to turn off their brain, but all members of The Family are great in these segments. I can\u2019t wait to see what is coming next. I like Channing Lorenzo more now that he is showing more personality than just as The Underboss. For this viewer: more please!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Je\u2019von Evans &amp; Myles Borne vs. DarkState: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, it actually happened: DarkState has officially made me become interested in them, Saquon Shugars especially. He\u2019s such a natural on the mic. What used to be a group I couldn\u2019t care less about is now something I look forward to. Time will tell, but so far, so good for me. Oh and the match was pretty good, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie Vaquer vs. Roxanne Perez: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What else would you expect from these two? Great match. I\u2019m really surprised their hasn\u2019t been a call-up for Perez, outside of brief main roster appearances. Vaquer is just awesome. I could watch her matches constantly and never get sick of them. Big props to her and her continued growth with English. A showdown with Giulia is inevitable and as much as I love Jordynne Grace, I really hope we see a one-on-one match. The problem with such a talented roster is WWE\/NXT seems to feel obligated to feature more Triple Threats\/Fatal Fourways than straight on singles matches.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PWTorch NXT Post-Show - NXT on CW w\/Wells &amp; Lindberg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/px6XNEsMBLc?start=127&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1304708849\"><div id=\"pwtor-1811929943\"><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>Liv Morgan &amp; Raquel Rodriguez vs. Gigi Dolin &amp; Tatum Paxley: Minor Hit My love for Tatum Paxley notwithstanding, she and Gigi really haven\u2019t gelled to the point of the crowd getting behind them.
