9 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Nov 6)
1. Discretion Is The Better Part Of Bálor...
...Or it was, until the former Universal Champion dropped Matt Riddle hard on his head in the exact same manner he'd planted Johnny Gargano two weeks earlier.
The gauge on the Full Sail popometer had been blown clean off by this point, with a frenzy created within Full Sail that had been doubled and trebled and quadrupled over several scintillating minutes. AJ Styles and Bálor shot Bullet Club poses at one another, breaking the internet as they had the sensory pleasure scales of everybody in the NXT arena. Adam Cole hit the ring, not just to claim some fleeting revenge on 'The Phenomenal One' for the Undisputed Era attack earlier in the night, but to drop Tommaso Ciampa with the Last Shot because every f*cker is at WAR, GODDAMN IT.
The show went off the air with Cole and Bálor sharing sinister but uncertain smiles. A cliffhanger of tremendous value, this continued a welcome brand of roster-wide carnage without solving a single thing ahead of Survivor Series weekend. This was pro wrestling bliss.
