Did you see the non-reaction from the Full Sail crowd this week after their win over the Street Profits? Vince McMahon, the ultimate momentum killer.<\/li>\n<li>Jaxson Ryker continues to look like an absolute beast. I\u2019ve been asking for months now, but WWE, please get him away from this tag team and into contention for one of the titles.<\/li>\n<li>I just don\u2019t see the reason for putting Matt Riddle into the NXT Championship picture. He loses his match to Velveteen Dream at Brooklyn for the North American title and suddenly gets thrust into the NXT Championship picture? What happened to the beginning of the feud with Dream? Doesn\u2019t make sense to me. Not yet anyways.<\/li>\n<li>I love the slow dismantling of The Undisputed Era. NXT tells great long term stories.<\/li>\n<li>Io Shirai is going to be your next NXT Women\u2019s Champion. No doubt about it.<\/li>\n<li>Street Profits had their best match on NXT TV this week. They showed a lot more aggression, and I was shocked they didn\u2019t win the titles.
