Not sure about the Marty McFly look in WWE, but the man\u2019s ability in the wrestling ring is up there with anyone.<\/li>\n<li>Velveteen Dream is everything that is right about professional wrestling. I say that sentence to myself every time he\u2019s on the TV screen. Just a special, special talent.<\/li>\n<li>The slow destruction of The Undisputed Era continues this week with Roddy and Fish walking out mid promo. It\u2019ll be fascinating to see where this ends up and where the four wrestlers involved end up after.<\/li>\n<li>We are less than a month away from the next TakeOver and still no official plan for Johnny Gargano\u2019s NXT Championship or lame duck NXT Tag Team Champions War Raiders.<\/li>\n<li>So Killian Dain is heading back to NXT. With the Hardy\u2019s out, Uso\u2019s out, and Bar out\u2026The Smackdown tag division consists of three tag teams now. The B-Team, Epico\/Primo, and Nakamura\/Rusev. You think there might be some room for a former NXT trio that consists of two monsters and a seasoned vet? Come on, WWE creative, you couldn\u2019t come up with anything for Sanity? They literally did absolutely NOTHING on the main roster. Haha.
