Heatwave is over. Also, NXT Heatwave is over.

 

[Skyefire]

Even if she had heard from Je'Von since Heatwave, he doesn't deserve another title shot right now.

 

[Skyefire]

"To your point, Booker..." He can tell what Booker was saying?

 

[Skyefire]

It's great to see a top women's feud that does not involve a championship.

 

[R-Troop]

not gonna lie was watching the Yankee game and all of a sudden it was 820. Starting at the beginning of NXT now.

 

[Skyefire]

Lexis King has been in NXT for nearly two years and has never had a match for the NXT Championship. He's had a few NA title matches, a couple of Tag title matches, one TNA X-Division title match and a run as Heritage Cup Champion but never the big one.

You missed Jordynn help Jordan.

 

[Skyefire]

At some point, Charlie's going to reach around, grab the referee, feel his shirt and realize he's the referee.

 

[Skyefire]

And, of course, Lexis King removes his blindfold.

 

[Skyefire]

That was dumb AF

oh I didn't miss it I just saw it later. Just finished the blindfold match and watching Kendal Gray and Wren Sinclair enter the ring

 

[R-Troop]

That was dumb AF

it was fun. Stupid fun. Don't run blindfold matches often but every number of years or so sure, especially if it's a weekly TV and not a PLE

 

[R-Troop]

I'm caught up by the way

 

[R-Troop]

if Ricky/Briggs is on now, I'm assuming Sol/Zaria/Lola vs. Fatal Influence are the main event?
