I Wonder if they do something with Chelsea and Matt Cardona now.

I hope so. That would be cool.

Yes I got happy when Giulia won the US women championship. Also it’s good Damien Priest won the ambulance match against Alestair Black to end the feud. I believe that the face should always end the feud. Hopefully this means Alastair Black gets a main event push and world championship.

I'm surprised Trick got that reaction and people actually chanted "Woop that Trick", I guess casuals do watch NXT.

I Wonder if they do something with Chelsea and Matt Cardona now.

They have a bunch of couples on this roster now :
-Cardona/Green
-Gargano/Lerae
-Williams/Legend
-Black/Vega
-Ford/Belair
-Uso/Naomi

And Carmelo is dating Kelani Jordan who could be brought up to the main roster soon.

They could probably do a couples' edition of that Mixed Match Challenge thing from a few years ago.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Gargano is back to using Comin' Back for You, he hasn't had the same music two weeks in a row for a while now.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Jordynne is coming to Smackdown? She hasn't even won the NXT Championship yet, that would be a shame.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Yeah I don't see the point of the hot potato thing between Giulia and Chelsea

 

[Y2Jayne]

Feels like Priest and Black have been feuding for a year.

 

[Sha-J Lee]

I mean I’m curious to see what Matt cardona does in WWE after all this time.
