Nygma Says

Some good and some bad in this episode. There’s some good build-up for NXT Roadblock and NXT Stand & Deliver, with a little shadow. The Mania season has begun, which means some NXT talents may be called up. So, we suddenly see a lot of challengers gravitating around the titles. Joe Hendry has 3 contenders for the NXT Championship. Jacy Jayne also has quite a lot of people to deal with.

Then, Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame stole the show. Blake Monroe, as suspected last week, made her presence felt. Wren Sinclair won the Speed Championship and truly deserved her first title in NXT. Ricky Saints and Ethan Page’s alliance is more and more fragile. We call this the ecstasy of gold. Keanu Carver ruined Booker T Appreciation Night. That wasn’t the right place to start a feud with Jasper Troy, but it had to start somewhere.

NXT is in Atlanta next week. NXT Roadblock will take place at the MSG in NYC on March 31. The road to NXT Stand and Deliver is huge. Well, this new era of NXT is as exciting as it can be surprising. I’ll see you next week as I keep on exploring the NXT world through the NXTNA “cold war.” Till then, may the Nygma be with you.
