Thoughts on the April 8th Edition of WWE Tuesday Night NXT Episode:


Thoughts: This episode was very murky. I thought there were some good moments but some moments that were questionable from this show. But I'm glad to see some of the stories progressing towards Stand & Deliver.


The April 8th | Edition of WWE Tuesday Night NXT | Match Ratings:


The Opening Match: Jaida Parker vs. Jordynne Grace in a Singles Match | Match Rating: ***.75 | A solid match. Almost a scary moment with Jordynee Grace but this was a very fun match I have to say. This match ended in a no contest. But the women's division is starting to heat up.


2nd Match: Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer) vs. Swipe Right (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) in a Tag Team Match | Match Rating: ***.25 | An very fun, quick tag team match. This tag team Fraxiom faced I wasn't familiar with as I had only seen them once on Eveolve. But this was a very fun, quick run of a match. Fraxiom are amazing it amazes me how they are allergic to having a bad match with anyone.


3rd Match: Sol Ruca (with Zaria) vs. Jazmyn Nyx (with Fallon Henley & Jacy Jayne) in a WWE NXT Women’s North American Championship Qualifying Match | Match Rating: *** | Sol Ruca winning was the obvious choice. But tension in the Fatal Influence group as Jazmyn Nyx made it known she wanted this match and opportunity, and her time is now. She had a decent outing, but it wasn't enough to get the win. Sol Ruca now moves on to Stand & Deliver to compete in the Ladder Match for the WWE NXT Women's North American Championship.


4th Match: The Culling (Brooks Jensen & Niko Vance) vs. Hank And Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) in a Tag Team Match | Match Rating: N/A | The Culling made quick work of the struggling team of Hank And Tank. They have been searching for who they are as they have been losing every single week. The Culling has some potenial, but I have to see more from them to give my full assessment of this new stable.


5th Match: Wes Lee (with Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont) vs. Yoshiki Inamura (with Josh Briggs) in a Singles Match | Match Rating: N/A | It A quick match, but man, Yoshiki Inamura is one of my favorites to watch. Sucks this match was very short, but I enjoyed it. Wes Lee, since his heel turn, has been very bland the underdog trait he possessed, which made people enjoy him, is gone this heel turn has done more damage to Wes Lee as people lost faith and don’t care much for him anymore.


6th Match: Izzi Dame (with Brooks Jensen & Niko Vance) vs. Wren Sinclair (with Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne & Tavion Heights) in a WWE NXT Women’s North American Championship | Match Rating: N/A | This match was something. I think there was a botch finished as I don’t think Izzi Dame was supposed to win, as a lot of confusion happened at the end.


The Main Event Match: Darkstate (Culter James, Dion Lennox & Saquon Shugars) (with Osiris Griffin) vs. Je’Von Evans, Oba Femi & Trick Williams in a Six-Man Tag Team Match | Match Rating: *** | An okay Main Event. This match shows the dominance of the new group, Dark State, which did a good job of showing how much of a threat they are. Oba Femi and Trick Williams had tension brewing, which allowed Je'Von Evans to be alone and have no one to get help from. Saquon Shugars got the pin and won for his team. Solid debut for them, but I wish the match was a lot better.


The April 8th | WWE Tuesday Night NXT | Match of the Night: Jaida Parker vs. Jordynne Grace in a Singles Match | Match Rating: ***.75


The April 8th | Edition of WWE Tuesday Night NXT | Episode Grade: 6/10 (C+) | This was a mediocre episode of NXT. There were some good and bad, but this episode was very murky sometimes, some of the matches had a lot of botches, but next week's show is shaping up to be very fun. But this episode was a hit or miss for me.


Next Week WWE Tuesday Night NXT | April 15th Edition | Announced Matches & Segments:

  1. Ethan Page vs. Wes Lee vs. Eddy Thorpe vs. Lexis King in a WWE North American Championship Number One Contendership Fatal-Four Way Match.

  2. Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura vs. Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont vs. Hank And Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) vs. No Quarter Catch Crew (Myles Borne & Tavion Heights) vs. The Culling (Brooks Jensen & Niko Vance) in a WWE NXT Tag Team Championship Number One Contendership Gauntlet Match.
