Hi and welcome back to the blog. There's a lot to talk about so let's begin.
NXT this week was hosted by Tom Phillips and Triple H. The show started off with the story of Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano, from rivals to tag team, to the present day as rivals again. A video package about Finn Balor aired, including Balor himself talking about his journey in NXT, to the main roster, back to NXT.
We had an in depth look at the career so far of the current NXT Women's Champion. Rhea Ripley, leading up to her match against the women's Royal Rumble winner: Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania in April.
Other News
Luke Harper from the Wyatt Family days is now in the other company, revealed as the Dark Order's Exalted One, he is now called Brodie Lee. Also. Matt Hardy was revealed as the final member of the Elite, for the cage match at Blood and Guts for the other company. I'm sure their fans will find that to be...wonderful?
WrestleMania News
Prior to NXT etc, we learned via social media that WrestleMania will be broadcast LIVE over two nights on the 4 and 5th of April. I hope to see that takes place, however, because of what's unfortunately going on in the world we live in, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't go ahead as planned.
That is it for your recap of NXT including news from the other company.
I'm very much looking forward to watching and writing about Friday night SmackDown because right now, with everything what's going on around us, wrestling is a very welcome escape from it all. Until the SmackDown review, be well and stay safe. Thanks for reading.
