8 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's NXT (5 Feb)

1. No, You're Not Dreaming

Velveteen Dream is back. I could spend a full 2000 words telling you all the reasons why this should excite you but you almost definitely know them already. The man has been out for months, and he's come back just as we're getting into WrestleMania season. Truly, my friends, dreams do come true.

The fact that he's returned to layout the entire Undisputed Era, and then revealed a set of tights with Roderick Strong's family printed on the leg and the words "Call Me Up Marina" on his backside, shows you precisely what we've all been missing while he's been away. All of these criticisms of the show being one-note and just obsessed with intense, serious wrestling... well, here's a remedy for you. A tonic of variety and excitement and fun.

Whether or not there's room for another match at TakeOver is a question for another time (specifically next week), but in the here and now it's great to have one of the brand's most watchable assets back where he belongs.
