7 Ups And 1 Downs From Last Night's NXT (18 March)

DOWNS

1. DI-Why Just This?

NXT this week was, for about 2/3s of the broadcast, a mini-doc on Tomasso Ciampa and Jonny Gargano. It was an incredible piece of filmmaking thrown together under since tight, difficult circumstances, and the team behind it deserve all the praise in the world.

But it was just *so* much of the show. Either this should have been a standalone doc on the WWE Network, or it should have been a considerably smaller chunk of the show. Regardless of what's happening with TakeOver, NXT still has a number of interesting stories to keep the plates spinning on. 4 Championships are to be contested, and only 3 of them have even been booked yet.

Cole, Dream, Dunne, Riddle, Strong, Fish, O'Reilly, Kai, Nox, Belair, Lee, Dijakovic, Priest, Gibson, and Drake will all be involved on that show in some capacity, but none of them got so much as a look-in tonight. What we got instead was brilliant, but it could have been better balanced.
