They need to stop with the sitar thing when his rosebuds come out. Other than that, His theme is awesome.

Also on NXT this week, they're doing a Paige and Tamina match. (Which was recorded before ER. NXT has a odd recording schedule, they record certain matches and segments in one session for multiple eps.) There's a Big E vs Bo Dallas match this week too. Loser leaves NXT.

Just when I'm starting to tire of the Wyatt Family and Shield in their respective configurations, BNB and Adam Rose have become far and away the best things on the show .

All-new TNA Xplosion will be the FIRST ever TNA programming designed for a family audience
TX: Every Saturday at 9am
Challenge and TNA Entertainment have joined forces for a historic announcement – teaming up to deliver TNA’s first ever wrestling programming specifically designed for a family audience.
An all-new version of TNA Xplosion will air weekly on Challenge from Saturday May 31 at 9am. The show has been reformatted with families in mind and to purposely differentiate itself from TNA’s flagship post-watershed programme IMPACT WRESTLING.
Xplosion – which is hosted by Jeremy Borash and features a mix of new matches, classic bouts and the hilarious ‘Spin Cycle’ panel debates – will also continue to be shown in its current late night timeslot of 11pm on Wednesday evenings. TNA IMPACT WRESTLING is broadcast every Sunday at 9pm.
Challenge can be viewed across the UK and Ireland on Sky (145), Freeview (46), Virgin Media (139) and Freesat (145).
TNA President Dixie Carter said: “Xplosion moving to Saturday morning on Challenge is a strategic and natural evolution of TNA programming, as our product resonates with fans of all ages.
“Families with young children are always strongly represented during TNA’s annual MAXIMUM IMPACT Tour. I am confident with the new format and time slot of Xplosion we will continue to attract new fans, particularly kids.
“Ask any TNA Superstar and they will tell you, there is no greater feeling than seeing the eyes of a child light up when he sees his favourite wrestler in action.
“Through TNA’s flagship IMPACT WRESTLING programme and the all-new Xplosion, combined with innovative and engaging content delivered daily through our digital and social channels, there are more ways than ever to engage fans with the TNA brand.”
Stephen Ladlow, Director of Challenge, commented: “As the exclusive home of TNA in the UK and Ireland, it’s great to be able to bring TNA to a whole new audience with our new family friendly show.
“We know that the TNA UK Tour attracts fans of all ages, so it seems fitting that Challenge can now cater for them whether young or old with this new Saturday morning Xplosion show.”
Jeremy Borash added: “TNA's awesome fans across the UK and Ireland can expect Xplosion to showcase their favourite TNA Superstars each week, with an emphasis on two of the most popular types of matches, X-Division and the Knockouts.
“With exciting competition in the ring and the popular ‘Spin Cycle’ panel, the new Xplosion will be must-see Saturday morning TV!”

I love the Shield and Wyatt Family.

I'm hearing that after the Evolution feud they're supposed to start a Seth Rollins Push to the WWEWHC Championship and split up The Shield

Would be cool to see a BNB push to the WWEWHC championship too, since he's so over with the fanbase.

Roman Reigns is winning the world title at WrestleMania next year. Barring some Ryback esque booking disaster, I'll happily eat my penis if that doesn't happen.

light launch then

[BBfanUSA]

Well the WWE Magazine has spoiled a return by

Spoiler:

Chris Jericho in time for MitB

[BBfanUSA]

That was an awful go home show last night.

At least Payback should be good

[King Gizzard]

[michael21]

is that

that pages girl

[BBfanUSA]

Yes,

Thank you Nathan for posting that

I have a crush on Paige right now.

NXT Takeover happened laat night. Probably will be the best special event they'll churn out WWE wise

[Ramsay]

Paige

[Slevin]

i would of preferred if they kept Paige more of a heel. dont really care for this new Paige.

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah kinda hope down the line she turns Heel.

She was a bit on NXT but between her and Emma it was like Emma was the Heel and Paige was the face.

Speaking of Emma, really glad she's getting solo bouts again. Would like for her to split from Santino and start feuding with Paige.

IMO outside of Evolution and Shield. Paige And Alicia have had the best buildup to Payback. On Smackdown this week, Alicia came out to distract Paige during Paige's fight with Tamina but it didn't work.

[Stu]

Payback's either going to be incredibly boring with a few solid to great matches or it will have some mad ass angle that heats up the shows again. Probably the first one though. It's going to do a horrible number. WWE are on their arse again at the minute. The social media and WWE Network rolling coverage has just turned it into one giant, never ending TV show and Raw is the boring, predictable bit in the middle. NXT, the aftershows etc are all top notch.

They have all the right talent the whole thing's just incredibly homogenized, clean and stagey feeling.

Oh well. Adam Rose exists and I'm really happy inside because of it.

[LaLaLand]

Is it wrong that I'm most excited for Paige/Alicia tonight over the others? These two put on great matches, would love if Foxy won too - love her new character. I think it may do Paige good too to lose and then build her up in pursuit of the title seeing as the E have ruined her character then win it back a couple of months down the line.

Speaking of Divas; did anyone see Nattie's match with Charlotte at Takeover? Just awesome.

[Black Dagger]

Nattie/Charlotte was one of the best divas matches I've seen in a long time.

I won't get to watch Payback until tomorrow, but I think the card is solid and worth watching.

[BBfanUSA]

I don't blame you Jonnii, They've had a great buildup (But during Raw this they screwed up, Paige shoulda came out to beat the hell out of Alicia). And they usually put on a great match.

I actually feel that this PPV has a better card than Extreme Rules.

Also Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville had a dark match during the Smackdown/Main event taping in London. It's been leaked by the WWE

If you want to watch it, it's here (The reason why the crowd is dead is because the mics in the crowd aren't on.)

Youtube video

EDIT: Paul/Triple H is in charge of the NXT storylines by the way. Would really like Vince to hand the reigns to Triple H/Stephanie.

[Ramsay]

The whole unedited smackdown was leaked from London too. was funny listening to Cole talk to Vince on the headset. will try and find the link

[BBfanUSA]

Oh I saw that,

Cole is so tired of plugging the app.

lol yea i heard that. funny stuff.

[Stu]

Yeah a link to that would be top.

Oh well, here we go. Payback. Hey if nothing else we're going to get awesome matches with a hot crowd. It'd be embarrassing for the main roster to get upstaged by NXT Takeover.

[BBfanUSA]

Okay I heard it was good so far,

Other than Kane interrrupting Bo Dallas vs Kofi Kingston. For some reason.

[LaLaLand]

Kane's interruption was so like pointless, the reason being "Kofi tweeted that he didn't like Stephanie and HHH's ways lately" so Kane does that. Even a hot Chicago crowd like this, they were "wtf?!", was a bit of a flat liner.

Rusev and Big E put on a great showing as have Barrett and RVD.

[LaLaLand]

Go Brie!! :P
