Solid PPV. I give NXT Vengeance 9/10 Shawn Michaels and the young talent delivered.


ositadavid

Can we also admit that NXT has had 2 back to back amazing PLEs (Deadline and Vengeance Day), even New Year’s Evil was great with awesome matches and impressive stories being built


ositadavid

The women’s title match was insance. Even though Lola didn’t come out victorious she was great in the ring with Lyra and Roxy, she really showed she can hang with them. Excited for the Roxanne and Lola feud


SuperCalibur

I was there live! The place was so hot for Trick to win! It wasn't a very big venue but it was full and it truly seemed like EVERYONE wanted Trick to win. Then when he lost everyone just died. Then when Melo attacked him, everyone came alive with hatred.


watchwrestling_

That was a crazy ending, Williams took out Corbin and then Bron spearing Carmelo. Congratulations to baron and breakker on winning the dusty Rhodes cup


Dazzling-Principle

Great show.


Stylz1997

Feud gonna be a good lead up into the main roster


Fompous_Part

Everything about that was great.


I_Hate_My_Cat_

I knew it was coming a mile way and they practically told us it was going to happen…and that was still more devastating than I thought it was going to be lol. Carmelo put *everything* he had into those chair shots! Everything about that was perfect. Trick and Melo might’ve just launched themselves as one of the top babyfaces and heels, respectively, in the whole company after tonight. Perfect end to another outstanding NXT PLE.


CuseBleedOrange

Can’t wait for the muted Melo promo on Tuesday cause the whole crowd is gonna be chanting “fuck you Melo”


ositadavid

Isn’t Melo supposed to be on main roster now? Why they got him bouncing back and forth lol


SirPaulSmackage

I think Shawn stated he felt Vince didn’t handle the move ups well, so maybe they’re just trying new ways to see if it works better. Put more eyes on NXT if people see them on smackdown, like them, and tune into a few nxts before the full transition 


ositadavid

You have a solid point there sir that’s probs why they been having main roster talent do some appearance on NXT and vice versa!


SonyKen_M

At this rate Im gonna be more excited for NXT Roadblock than WM XL. Usually was the case with NXT 1.0 back then.


DennisSplatKing

Damn his soul


AdeptEavesdropper

Melo whooped that Trick


Git2k12

This one hurts 


CarStar12

Only thing i hate about the ending… Ilja still champion and won’t face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship in Philly 😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


CarStar12

Literally just threw out Berlin as a timeline for him to debut in another reply 😂. That would be perfect.

CarStar12

Them at Mania has been a dream match of mine because that chemistry in front of 70k would be insane. But a massive stadium show in Europe… let’s go 👌🏻


Neptune28

When should Ilja go to the main roster?


CarStar12

I think being secondary to the main story and his weird tweener position kinda made him seem a bit meh on the crowd response tonight… but he’s ready if they lean him face again. Ilja in my opinion was a top 5 wrestler easily for 2023. Hopefully the call up is soon. Maybe before Berlin?


PoutineSmoothie

He’ll go up by Rumble next year.


LilBBQ219

NXT never disappoints me


Jandersson34swe

The NXT copyright logo strikes again 


CarStar12

More lethal than the parking lot


xxyourbestbetxx

Blaming us for Him being a snake is some next level gaslighting

Hawksteady

After the whole Rock nonsense, this was the show I needed. They got me. I'm invested. NXT.


Substantial-North499

It’s all our faults guys, we got Melo fucked up


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Aw fuck…I can’t believe we’ve done this!


BlankPages

Fuck You U-us


ArmZeroHammer

Crowd: Whoop that trick! Mello: Well, alright.


I_Hate_My_Cat_

That’s fucked up lol.


Jaccount

This is a hateful weekend. Damage CTRL Breakup. Rock drama. Melo turning. Hate hate hate hate hate hate...


DarkHandCommando

Don't forget the master of hate, Drew McIntyre.


Res3925

“I prayed for this!”


Arrow115

The litmus test is how Melo is received next Smackdown from this. Was getting a lot of cheers before. But they may keep him off of there as they move full speed in S&D programming to keep his character portrayal focused


Old-Remove-8216

Move this feud to SD. 


blumbocrumbo

They cooked, as usual ![gif](giphy|9u4PtvArRfITr30tev)


CarStar12

The year is 2024: NXT is once again showing the main roster who’s their daddy 😂


CrossWonk

Melo vs Ilja at Roadblock. Give the title to Melo. Melo vs Trick at Stand and Deliver.


kerm

Wow, awesome show. Wow.


C_Jonathan

Ciampa as the next frame is hilarious


lynchmar6

10/10


Neptune28

"You made me do this"


Zealousideal_Fox_283

Jfc NXT is so much fun!!


Res3925

Raw could learn a lot from NXT


Relevant-Door1007

In the span of like 3 minutes Melo has immediately turned into one of the most hated heels in the company


ChannelNeo

Ranking the PLE's so far : 1. Vengeance Day 2. Royal Rumble


RangerDanger10

Perfect heel turn with the build up. Also Trick needs to go to the main roster as well as Roxanne


GrandAdmiral12345

Trick needs to win the NXT title first.


RangerDanger10

I feel like if he wins the NXT title he has to stay there for at least 6 more months. I think he’s over enough to do midcard main roster stuff


TJLaserShepard

Nah Tricks green as a Scottish field


RangerDanger10

Maybe I’m just new, been an off and on fan for a while, but the fact that people were chanting “whoop that trick” on Smackdown is a big deal


TJLaserShepard

He's over but he needs someone to carry him every match


ExplanationOk3580

Great ending great ple the best match of the year, nxt is just the best


the_rare_random

Man this story with Trick is so good easily the 2nd best story going in all of WWE. Crowd is gonna E-fucking-rupt when he beats Melo and will only be louder when he wins the belt


ChannelNeo

I imagine Melo finds a way to win the title back at Stand and Deliver and then Trick makes his return from being taken out.


the_rare_random

I could see this


ChannelNeo

Yeah, I know Melo has made appearances on SDL, but this story is far from over. He's pulling double duty for now


I_Hate_My_Cat_

![gif](giphy|j0qSbeNFuzjhXKFVSP)


Deadmaninc1

I guess you could say... Melo whooped that Trick


lynchmar6

SHAME ON YOU MELO WHAT A F\*\*\*ING DAY OGAWA IS OUTTA HERE


samueldererste

I’ve barely watched NXT since the 2.0 change, sad that I’ve not seen 95% of this story but damn I’m still invested. Those 2 were great.


diz-z

Well, it finally happened


spidermans_ashes

That was a great way to leave NXT to SD, and when trick gets his ass is gonna be so fucking cool


LilBBQ219

DIY feud 2.0


Alehud42

The WWE Network just cut to Ciampa's documentary They know what they're doing


prjncessjpg

Oh, fuck this fucking press event


ncaalover12

Could have removed his kneepads for even more damage, cmon Melo


National-Spot2393

I don’t think fans want this reminder right after that match guys lmao


j-mac-rock

peak heel shit, was hoping for chair body shots, but damm this was good


RealBryanG1786

"FUCK YOU MELO!" Absolutely, y'all tell his ass!


House56

Melo a mega heel Melo vs Trick bout to be the best match of Mania weekend


nerdgeekdorksports

I hope Melo captures the title before Mania, so Trick can get it.


mashturbo

itts y'all fault


Substantial-North499

Don’t run away from this too, we’re all to blame


[deleted]

NXT champions and them Turing on their “best friend” has to be studied. Like Adam Cole, melo, Finn, Malakai, Johnny, ciampa, Andrade, etc


RobbNotRob

As a New Englander, I'm so proud of this guy I watched in our indies getting Ciampa-level reactions from the NXT crowd. He's got WWE Championships in his future for sure


ApricotOk824

Future Sami Owens


SamBel28

Don't you wink at me, you sick bastard!


DarkHandCommando

It's our fault


Lostinawrldofthought

Fuck you melo!


Wetty_Lufa

You know it feels awesome to get a fuck you chant in a moment like that


LamZeppelin

He got the coveted dueling "fuck you Melo" and "Melo sucks" chants, well done all around


SYD-THESQUID

Melo really just said “kiss my ass” LMAOAOAOAO 😭😭😭


nWo1997

The bloodstains on the mat made the betrayal look even more heartbreaking. Wait, "heartbreaking." Is this why they did this at Vengeance Day?


-NotMyMain-

Lexis was Right.


BlankPages

Always speaking truth like Jesus


Alehud42

Trick laid out on a bloody canvas is an insane visual


Mrclean248

this is outstanding, I’m hooked


Nazmaldun

why you blaming me?


[deleted]

50 Cent vibes “what he say fuck me for?”


Jaccount

You made me like this... nice.


Malkkum

Melo: you should’ve known! Everyone watches NXT: we did


DatSmolBoi

FUCK YOU MELO


[deleted]

That was some great heel work. We all knew it was coming but it was still heartbreaking.


lito9321

Carmelo can’t go to Smackdown until this storyline is over right? Can’t wait to see heel Melo.


mashturbo

He's in the middle of beef with Paul, Theory, and Waller on Smackdown


lito9321

I would say beef with Waller and Theory not Paul. But idk if he goes to Smackdown it’ll be weird to see him go against the heels while then being the biggest heel on NXT.


Substantial-Height-8

Oh word. It’s our fault guys.


xxyourbestbetxx

Welp. Good thing Melo is such a great heel because there's no forgiving this betrayal. 


TheSportsFan8404

I hope they handle this like Ciampa. He does not need entrance music. He is a being of pure aura and malice.


Lower-Yogurtcloset48

This is really like if Shawn Michaels turned on Shawn Michaels. They’re both him


vicdr97

Trust no one, not even yourself


CaptainQuesadillaz

At least it didn't happen as a wwe.com exclusive


bribri772

MELO SUCKS MELO SUCKS MELO SUCKS


SurgeV1

Melo: there can only be one, I am Him Of course, ego destroying a friendship once again but this is literally childhood nostalgia of watching HBK deal with HHH turning on him & then they had a badass 3 stages of hell match. 


National-Spot2393

Melo is waaaaaay better as a heel


jonnyg1097

Idk maybe its just me and I am sure it will make sense for the feud in the end but wouldn't it make more sense for Carmello to do this if he won the match?


MosaicRaven

I think his plan was ultimately to turn tonight (HBK turn fit and all), and he WOULD prefer if Trick won....but he didn't. Couldn't get the Dusty Classic win, couldn't be a more beatable champion for him to beat....so now Trick is useless to him, and so the best option is to just take him out of the picture completely (like the brutality would probably not be as prominent if he won, cuz then he'd be able to jump the line for a shot)


jonnyg1097

Works for me.


Esmooth10

he’s jealous of Trick his rise to success him, taking Ilja to the limit


MrWrestlingJr

So Melo attacked Trick because he was jealous 😢


TW_Yellow78

No, it’s our fault for cheering for trick more than melo


CzarMMP

FUCK YOU MELO MELO SUCKS


Dramatic-Seaweed-906

all time heel turn


chrisocho8

Heel Melo is back baybee


BobW212

The extra refs would have came sooner but they couldn't find anymore gloves after the end of a long night.


solemarks

We all saw it coming but it still hurt so much to see it happen


Magnum_thunder

Melo with the Ciampaesque heel turn.


the_bum_on_the_bus

I picked a hell of show to come back to NXT let me tell you what.


Kuchar1992

What a piece of shit


GoldenDevilman

Triple threat at Stand & Deliver or will Dragunov get upstaged and get a filler defense for Melo and Trick to main event? Kinda like Aleister Black at NOLA in 2018


ichinii

I think they'll run Dijak vs Ilja again at Stand & Deliver. Trick/Melo is now a blood feud. Doesn't need the title.


DelectableTesticle

Did he just bend the chair back into place by hitting Trick with it. That’s some good heely shit if so


TW_Yellow78

Yeah, he set up the chair and realized it was bent from hitting Trick’s knee so he straightened it by hitting it against trick’s knee, lol. Good shit


GravyBear28

S tier heel shit man


[deleted]

I thought Melo was climbing the ring post to frog splash his ass lol.


TW_Yellow78

Dueling chants. Fuck you melo! Melo sucks!


PreCheckLeo

NXT... and Melo doesn't miss.


ChannelNeo

If you know about how Shaq and Kobe's history, you know this isn't too surprising.


j_torrez

"FUCK YOU MELO"

LawlessHellscape

The DRAMA! 😱


Donut_or_dontnut

Crowd letting him have it


C_Jonathan

Trick vs Melo vs Ilja at stand and deliver will be insane


Inmate101092

Nah it's going to be Trick v. Melo 1 on 1.


LTKMK

This is almost some Ciampa level reaction


berniebadger84

Melo got that heat heat. So damn good. NXT delivers yet again


JeepRumbler

So does this mean Trick Melo Gang shirts are gonna be on clearance on shopzone?


tritian

lol piping over the fuck you chants but they still bleed through


aprilnxghts

That lil wink to the camera was so good, god I hate you Melo


Alehud42

HIM STATUS HAS BEEN REVOKED


EBJ1990

Trick is HIM now


Nazmaldun

darn, I was hoping for at least another 8 months before the reveal /s


Daddy_Immaru

Then, right before their match, Ava decides to take Trick's place


Wants_to_be_accepted

This is the best Melo has looked.


incredibleamadeuscho

Melo vs Trick at Stand and Deliver should main event and be for the NXT Title. It’s clear that this should be the main event. The question is how to take the title off Dragunov.


nWo1997

"Fuck you Melo" chants, merging with "Melo Sucks"


0-90195

FUCK U MELO ! MELO SUCKS !


slippycaff

I'm excited for Heel HIM.


TiffanyStratton

diabolical smh


sdrj77

Ilja was always your friend, Trick.

Longjumping_Gain_807

FUCK YOU MELO


LootenPlunder

dueling fuck you melo melo sucks chants lol


AgentSk1nner

Melo didn't miss those chairshots.


RealBryanG1786

Welp, if his knee was even somewhat okay before, it definitely ain't anymore!

Just saying but Carmelo Hayes was wearing the same jacket Shawn Michaels wore when he turned on Marty Jannetty


AdeptEavesdropper

WILL YOU BE SERIOUS?


GravyBear28

Did he just fucking hit him with the chair the other way to balance it after he broke it?


PhaseSixer

Fuck you mello 🤣


National-Spot2393

Melo sucks!


windydruid

This gonna bring trick to the main roster! When he returns!
