00:00Very much appreciated the new follow that popped up there, thank you very much.
00:14This is your NXT Great American Bash preview.
00:19Went into NXT on Wednesday talking about my desire to see them actually add anything.
00:25And I will say, credit where credit is due, that entire show was focused on building up
00:30to this weekend.
00:31There wasn't a, oh well maybe, it was the sole focus of this program to build up to Great
00:37American Bash and Evolution.
00:39So let's run it down.
00:40Javon Evans against Jasper Troy.
00:43I have said I am a very, very big fan of Javon Evans.
00:48This is not the time for him to win, I don't think.
00:50I think this kid is a future world champion, no doubt, but Jasper Troy, in trying to build
00:57him up as this big kind of powerful heel guy, I think we are running out of big losses that
01:04we can give him.
01:04He loses in the title match, he loses in the number one contenders bout, now he's got to
01:09pick up a win here.
01:11And it is unfortunate because Javon Evans, I think Javon Evans could genuinely be the
01:16guy who takes the belt off of Obafemi, sending Oma to the main roster, and kind of starting
01:21his own era as a champion in NXT.
01:26But I think right now the project is Jasper Troy, and so this is going to be one where
01:31he gets back into the win column, and they continue to build him up that way.
01:35Ethan Page against Ricky Saints for the North American Championship.
01:40Um, NXT picks are always interesting, because I could see both these guys going up to the
01:47main roster, like, tomorrow.
01:49And so, like, which one, which one?
01:53Um, I think Ethan Page, like, again, they're both, they are both ready.
01:57It's a false count anywhere match.
01:59I feel like with all the damage that has been done to Ricky Saints, you almost have to get
02:03him the victory in this one, too, just, just so that it's not just a series of ass kickings
02:09and then the rivalry is over.
02:10Um, and so I think Ricky Saints getting some of that momentum back, because it hasn't been
02:14a perfect start to his time in NXT, but allow that to kind of reset, allow him to feel like
02:20a big deal, and give him a championship win.
02:25And for Ethan Page, like, I could see after that he moves up to the main roster.
02:30Um, Sol Ruka taking on Izzy Dame for the Women's North American Championship.
02:36I, I kind of wondered if this would be the time where we really see Zarya and Izzy, uh,
02:44no, uh, Zarya and Sol Ruka start to split up a little bit.
02:47Then, they, they, they teased it, then they didn't, then they teased it, then they did.
02:52Um, I, I, I, one, I was wondering if this would be the time.
02:55I don't think it is going to be.
02:56I think what they could tell is something they did a little bit before with, uh, Fraser
03:00and Axiom, where one guy is going for singles gold, and the other one's like, hey, but we
03:05want the tag team titles, right?
03:06Like, we're a tag team.
03:08So, oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
03:09And then gets too beat up to really help out in tag team stuff.
03:12I think you could do that here, where Sol Ruka gets the win, but is too banged up to
03:17really help in the tag team title match coming up on Sunday.
03:20And you see more dissension in the ranks there.
03:24So, I still think Sol Ruka retains, um, although, I mean, there's a lot of, a lot of momentum
03:30behind the culling.
03:31So, this is not a stone-cold walk, um, but I, I think Sol Ruka probably retains here.
03:35Also, I just have to say, just a quick aside, the culling's growing on me.
03:40And I know that's not a popular thing, this, like, Sean Spears being back and everything.
03:44Um, I think people, I think it's become a little bit trendy to, to hate on this group.
03:50I'm really liking it.
03:51I think that it is, is it always the most creative?
03:55No.
03:55But I think it has been a very, a very good way of introducing a couple of characters.
04:00And having Sean Spears be this kind of leader guy of this faction, I think is working.
04:04So, the culling has definitely hit me more than I was expecting.
04:08Uh, but I do think Sol Ruka comes away with a championship win.
04:11Jordan Grace and Blake Monroe against Fatal Influences.
04:14JC Jane, who is the NXT Women's Champion, and Fallon Henley.
04:18Um, I think Jordan Grace gets her big moment at Evolution, so I, I think you put some doubt
04:24in for that match, and have Fatal Influence get a win, and build some momentum going into
04:30Sunday.
04:31And add, it's weird to say this, but add some legitimacy to your champion, who no one believes
04:37is the best on NXT right now.
04:40So, have her pick up a real, genuine win, um, and then have her lose to Jordan Grace
04:46in the championship match.
04:47I just, it is classic WWE 101, where the, the one who wins the first one doesn't get
04:51the second one.
04:52But I, I think that's probably how this is going to play out.
04:54And then Obafemi taking on Yoshiki Inomura.
04:58Again, it is the classic NXT conundrum.
05:01Obafemi is ready for the main roster.
05:03There is zero question that this guy is ready for that spot on the main roster.
05:11But no one on the, on NXT is ready to take this championship from him and be the guy.
05:16I think Inomura, like I've said all week, there are some aspects of his game that I find
05:21interesting, and that he could one day be a main event level performer, at least on NXT.
05:28I just don't think he is there yet.
05:29So, I don't think this is the one to, um, be the banana peel that Obafemi slips on, on
05:35his way into the main roster.
05:37I think that this is still going to be a dominant win for the ruler, who is genuinely one of
05:43my favorite performers in all of professional wrestling right now.
05:46So, Obafemi, the reign continues, um, in my opinion, on Saturday afternoon.
