Cole is so good, and I\u2019m not looking forward to the main roster completely screwing him up.<\/li>\n<li>Why does NXT do everything so much better? The performance center beatdowns of the Viking Raiders and Shayna Baszler this week just illustrates their ability to build storylines outside of the wrestling ring. Main roster should take notice.<\/li>\n<li>Very curious booking on NXT TV this week with Raul Mendoza getting the win over Riddick Moss. It looked like the re-packaged Moss was set for a little success, but I guess they have other ideas.<\/li>\n<li>NXT locking up the best and most passionate announcer in the business is awesome. Ranallo brings more to viewing experience than all the main roster announcers combined.<\/li>\n<li>Am I the only one that isn\u2019t looking forward to babyface Roddy again? I\u2019d be less looking forward to babyface Cole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT OTHER\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/weekly-overviews\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEWS HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR JUMP TO LAST WEEK\u2019S WWE OVERVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/05\/05\/weekly-overview-nxt-thru-5-2-top-stories-of-week-major-show-lineups-live-event-results-schedule-of-live-events-noteworthy-social-media-posts-more\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 NXT (thru 5\/2): Top stories of week, major show lineups, live event results, schedule of live events, noteworthy social media posts, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1709826144\"><div id=\"pwtor-2565250730\"><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>The following is the latest in\u00a0a new series of\u00a0weekly in-depth articles\u00a0exclusive to PWTorch which will help put in perspective major wrestling promotions with a weekly overview, looking at news and roster developments, results, future line-ups, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/05\/14\/weekly-overview-nxt-thru-5-10-top-stories-of-week-major-show-lineups-live-event-results-schedule-of-live-events-noteworthy-social-media-posts-more\/\" title=\"WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 NXT (thru 5\/10): Top stories of week, major show lineups, live event results, schedule of live events, noteworthy social media posts, more\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,13,6075],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_nxt","category-weekly-overviews"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/04\/NXTLiveLogo.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79729"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79734,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79729\/revisions\/79734"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
