The Official WWE / NXT Discussion Thread *May Contain Spoilers*

Recommended Posts

<p>Honestly; I never really thought Paige was ever that good of a wrestler anyway. Charisma? Oh yeah, definitely. But as a wrestler, she came across as mediocre; which disappointed me. This was supposed to be the woman that WWE called 'ahead of their time' and the first NXT women's champion ever.</p><p> </p><p>

So tell me how you go from a two time champion in your own division to being another jobber to the stars (at best) to getting suspended? Because of ALBERTO DEL RIO of all people! (And before you ask, I know that Orton is a 13 time world champion; but it took him a while to be trusted with the main event again after his second strike. If that's how bleak things were for the Viper, i'd have every right to worry for Paige's future)</p><p> </p><p>

Speaking of which, I have no idea how Del Rio got Paige suspended except for the hint that he was being a 'bad influence' on Paige. Here's what I don't get, How exactly was Del Rio a bad influence to her? The only picture we saw of the two together was at Disneyland, and even then that was for a Total Divas shoot. (I think)</p><p> </p><p>

So something tells me either Paige fell into a trap or Del Rio has that much of an influence in the locker room. Either way, oh how thy mighty hath fallen.</p>

Are they testing her for stuff that her real doctor is prescribing for pain and then penalizing her when she is not truly active? I really think WWE's policy needs to be questioned. The questionable suspension of Adam Rose was quickly snuffed out when he did something dumb a few days later but this really raises an eyebrow because I don't even think she has been wrestling for at least a month!</p><p> </p><p> Why would you test somebody who is not competing at the moment. Was it because Del Rio was dinged and they seen an opportunity to drag them both down at the same time? I really think these questions should be answered.</p><p> </p><p> God knows that they don't even test Brock which is really biased.</p>

<p>I hope there is a payoff with Slater. Like he ends up on SD and Shane/Bryan still try to make his life miserable (despite being faces) and he somehow keeps overcoming.</p><p> </p><p>

The pop he normally gets is incredible despite the role.</p>

Alberto having a hot three some while tripping balls confirmed in my own mind:

 

 

http://www.pwtorch.com/site/2016/08/18/breaking-eva-marie-suspended-wellness-violation-off-summerslam/

 

"MY NAME is ALBERTO DEL RIO!!! and I banged Paige and Eva while rolling!"

 

he is the champion of my heart.

 

(incase it's not obvious, just having a laugh. I have no actual details on these suspensions.)

I hope he wins some sort of mid-card title then both GMs and authority figures begin to fight over him. Like the roles have reversed.

 

That would be gold. But regrettably there's no mid-card title that's open. Maybe there could be interference so he'd win. But they're not going to drop Rusev and Miz for the purpose of comedy (though Miz is usually good for that).

 

It does indeed hurt not seeing Paige and Emma. God I loved them. I don't miss them because of the horsewomen, but still... Are their injuries so severe? I heard Paige's is. It didn't hurt Dana Brooke though. I like her more when paired up with Charlotte. I hope they pair up Emma with a superstar when she returns.

I could see him upsetting Miz at some point. You can role with him standing up to Brock and make him a bit of an underdog face, have Miz underestimate him in his "beat miz and you get a tryout match" and then once he wins, have him refuse to sign with anyone right off the bat.

You might as well include Rosa Mendes (remember that angle?) and Charlotte in the mix and make it a five-some! (I swear, I remember somebody mentioning Charlotte having a crush on Del Rio before he settled on Paige.)

Mcgegor vs diaz again? If mcgregor wins hes proved a point but if diaz wins the mcgregor hype train stops. Without the hype mcgregor is an average fighter who has actually got a belt hes avoided defending. Personally i hope diaz wins again then aldo takes his featherweight belt back. I'd rather the ufc beat conor.
