5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE NXT (Aug 12)

Downs...

4. Cruiserweight Complications

Santos Escobar Breezango

Breezango are awesome, Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott is perfectly fine and Legado del Fantasma have been booked as a dominant, all-for-one faction built to protect Santos Escobar's Cruiserweight Title. So, if everything is solid, then why is this the first negative?

Allow yours truly to elaborate.

Neither Tyler Breeze, Fandango nor Scott come across as credible threats to Escobar's belt. That's weird considering commentary did a fine job of putting over the fact that Isaiah has beaten Santos before, but it's true. Next week's six-man tag should reveal the next man to challenge for the gold too, and it'll be underwhelming.

Escobar vs. any one of this trio doesn't sound good enough for TakeOver XXX. Breezango are comedy guys and 'Swerve' just hasn't been given enough promo time to justify this sort of position or make fans care about his character.
