-NXT will be live tonight from Orlando, Florida, at the WWE Performance Center. The show features Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes vs. Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno for the NXT Tag Team Titles. John Moore has the night off, so join me for our weekly live review as the show airs on The CW at 7CT/8ET. My same-night audio review will be available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
We are seeking reports of the tapings or dark matches held before NXT at the WWE Performance Center. If you are going tonight or to a future show and want to help, email me at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
-Last week’s NXT finished with A as the top grade in our post-show poll with 38 percent of the vote. B finished second with 31 percent of the vote. John Moore gave the show a B- grade during his same-night audio review.
