WWE Elimination Chamber (2021)/NXT TakeOver: 33 Thread

[jdoggivjc]

Just saw this piece of news. Of course it's just big show so who really cares but that's a guy I didn't see leaving wwe.

I did not see that coming. Didn't even realize his contract with WWE expired.

That Taya Valkyrie signing with WWE bit I shared last week is official.



Taya's good enough to carry the NXT Women's division, and if the main roster were to ever be sanely booked, be a major player there. I don't really watch a lot of Impact, but she grew as a performer there, and I really liked her when she was with Lucha Underground as well.

Not a fan of how creative treated the Miz. First off Monday they made his cash in pretty much meaningless. I thought at the end of raw when he finally had to defend it he would do a low blow to get DQ (I know he tried at the beginning with the belt) and lose it at fastlane. I want to also say it's about time Lashley got a major belt in this company although I see creative probably having Lashley turn around and drop it to Drew at Mania.

They should have left it when Miz ducked the first time and took the count out. I was legit laughing at him doing that. Brilliant.

I agree. This whole thing screams Vince thinking "Miz deserves to be better than one of the buffoons that fail at cashing in MITB, but I don't want him holding the WWE title". I honestly didn't hate the idea of Miz & Morrison ducking Lashley until Fastlane. Because now, what's the point of Fastlane?

Would have loved to see Miz weasel his way into a Triple Threat at Mania BUT he'll end up with the higher profile match with Bad Bunny.

So it sounds like WWE network will just end at the end of this month and we must sign up for Peacock to get that content/PPVs. Not sure why I was thinking the subscription would just transfer over.

Hmm, that list doesn't look biased or show an agenda at all...

As someone who watches both every week, I will tell you that those are pretty spot on.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. I guess I shouldn't really comment since I have no interest in watching AEW, but just reading the list shows the writer thinks highly of everything AEW and poorly of most things WWE.

If you watched AEW you would have the same opinion.

No 2 guys are better in a match than omega and moxley. This is nuts!

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Of course Omega can't beat Moxley 1 on 1.

Exploding barbed wire! Awesome! Exploding ring at the end? I can't imagine that's how it was supposed to "explode". Still a great match.

Agree. That "big explosion" was a total fail.

My gawd!! The sparklers!

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

For those that didn't tune in this was the "big explosion"
