Nygma Says
It was another pretty complex episode. The end of the Culling was easily predictable. Naraku has to become NXT Champion by defeating Tony D’Angelo because it’s his destiny. “Destiny” and “Champion” in the same sentence sounds a bit strange. Once again, NXT gave the most time to women, something I couldn’t say a bad word about.
Some news reports that NXT Great American Bash 2026 will take place the last week of July. We are only on the 27th of May, which means two months to build a strong PLE, with strong storylines and true PLE players. For the moment, most of the newcomers still have a lot to prove. 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.
