NXT Spoiler from a house show (big news)

Spoiler: show

AND NEW NXT CHAMPION SAMOA JOE!

Spoiler: show

Well, the Balor call up might be happening after all. Bullet Club might actually become a thing...

Spoiler: show

Yeah only a matter of time. They made sure Balor got to set the record for longest reign and then made the switch

[Anoat]

Well WWE.com is openly talking about it now so might as well stop with the spoilers

YOUR NEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW NXT CHAMPION, SAMOA JOE

Also, new reddit insider has emerged, all new account named "ExploderSuplexes" spoiled it shortly before the event started: https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...io/nxt_lowell/

This makes Finn winning at Takeover even more confusing.

Guess we know what Finn is doing a week from Sunday though.

[Vagrant]

The win at Takeover apparently was just to give him the longest reign record over Neville. He got it by about two weeks now so they made the switch.

Cameras were apparently rolling for the match so I'd expect to see at least highlights of it on NXT next week.

[Xno Kappa]

WWE is always so petty with that kind of shit lol.

[Melena]

Supposedly Finn rolled his ankle and the match ended about a minute later

[Vagrant]

Most reports said it seemed to be a worked injury though. With all the cameras randomly being at the show I doubt it was the reason for the change.

I'm sure there will be footage shown, but cameras at the show isn't anything unusual. All live events are still recorded for liability issues and training purposes--they just don't get the full TV set up. It's usually one hard camera and one posted from the AV table, wherever it happens to be in the arena.

He's saying there was a full camera setup, not the normal house show setup.

It is only confusing if you think the main roster is planned more than a week in advanced. They just make up shit on Mondays.

[Zealot]

Cena seems like exactly the kind of guy who would drink someone unconscious and then gently tuck them into bed and watch over them to make sure they're okay.

Wait so did Balor lose his title in a match that isn't televised? O_o

Yep, house show NXT title change. My vodka-addled brain wondered if it was a Wellness thing, but it being a shortcut to get Balor ready for next Sunday makes much more sense.

There was a video floating on Twitter of the finish last night: We finally got the answer to what happens if Joe lands a Muscle Buster clean in the center of the ring.

[Tyrath]

Whats on Sunday? Or do you mean 2 sundays from now?

[Tyrath]

Also was Balor in demon form?

I couldn't tell from the grainy video, so I'm not sure. And yeah, I meant in 2 Sundays. Whoops.

Nope, no demon.
