A Stacked Edition of NXT Tonight

There’s a pretty stacked episode of WWE NXT tonight. It’s the go-home show for Vengeance Day on Saturday. We have two Championship matches and two veterans from NXT past return to their original stomping grounds. Tony D’Angelo’s feud with Ridge Holland will come to a massive head tonight in a steel cage match.

Match Card

NXT Heritage Cup Championship Match: Lexis King (c) vs. JDC (Fandango)
NXT North American Championship: Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Ridge Holland in a steel cage match
Bayley vs. Cora Jade
Triple-Threat Tag Team Match: Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura vs. No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights and Myles Bourne vs. Hank and Tank

Not a bad card, especially going into Vengeance Day. I’m surprised they’re putting the North American Championship match on television rather than premium live event. Bayley takes on Roxanne Perez at Vengeance Day and here she gets another NXT talent with a ton of potential, Cora Jade. The top three matches have the chance to really deliver. I’ll absolutely be checking out NXT.

Keep it locked here for more coverage and updates for this stacked edition of NXT. Feel free to share your thoughts as well.

On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

Ethan Page has worked his butt off for years and he deserves the recognition he's getting. I'm thrilled for him to be in the spot that he's in. Something tells me this won't be the last time he holds gold in WWE.
