Phew! Now The Chadster can have sex with his wife… if she'll let him. Overall Viewership ratings chart for WWE Raw, WWE NXT, AEW Dynamite, Impact Wrestling, WWE Smackdown, and AEW Rampage as of Week 31 of 2021 Rampage did beat Dynamite to be the number three most watched wrestling show this week The Chadster's beloved WWE[...]

Hey gang!  So it was a big weekend for WWE, which of course featured SummerSlam on Saturday night and NXT TakeOver 36 last night  WWE tried to pull out all the stops on Saturday, but personally, I thought it was a pretty forgettable show with some really baffling, if not outright stupid decisions made (poor Bianca Belair…)[...]

Hey gang!  NXT has been in a weird spot over the past few months  After losing the "Wednesday Night War" with AEW Dynamite and being cast away to Tuesday nights, WWE (and more importantly Vince McMahon) has seemingly lost faith in NXT and the brand is now caught in a tug of war between the Chairman and[...]

But on the bright side, The Chadster's beloved NXT returned to the USA Network and scored its highest viewership in months! Yay! AEW Rampage also debuted, with viewership almost even with but slightly below NXT Take that, Tony Khan! Also, as you can see on the chart, Raw corrected course this week for the SummerSlam[...]

Hey gang!  This Sunday night is NXT TakeOver 36 live on Peacock and that means tonight's episode of NXT will be the last chance for the black and gold brand to build towards the event and "put asses in seats" as they say  With that in mind, they've got a pretty packed show for us tonight,[...]

Former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano and former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Candice LeRae announced on Twitter this morning that they are expecting their first child in February 2022  The storyline and real-life couple have been married since September 2016 and have always had their relationship featured as part of their NXT characters. Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae[...]

Hey gang!  So while NXT had advertised Ember Moon vs Sarray earlier today, this evening things changed and WWE reported that Moon was not medically cleared and so with that, her replacement for tonight's match would be Dakota Kai  Is Moon really injured or are we about to learn she has joined the ever-growing list of unemployed former[...]

Hey gang!  So it's been a rough couple of months for the black and gold brand, with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and his consigliere/hitman Nick Khan releasing more and more NXT stars with each advance in the calendar  So who will be featured on tonight's episode of NXT that won't even be employed by the company this[...]

The Chadster hopes that Corbin is able to solve his impotence problems and get the rest of his life back on track now. Overall Viewership wrestling ratings chart for WWE Raw, WWE NXT, AEW Dynamite, Impact Wrestling, and WWE Smackdown as of Week 29 of 2021 WWE Smackdown was the only show to see a major boost[...]

UPDATE: Desmond Troy (Denzel Dejournette) was also released from his WWE NXT contract on Friday night, confirming via Twitter: Life is tough, but it's about time I got some adversity to see what I'm made of What a way to start the weekend Thank you @TripleH and @WWENXT for the opportunity There's power in the name[...]

Hey gang!  On this week's episode of NXT, love is on the line as Dexter Lumis battles Johnny Gargano for the hand of his longtime crush, Indi Hartwell  Gargano is the leader of The Way (which of course includes Hartwell) and as such, doesn't want anyone involved with his longtime nemesis Lumis[...]

Hey gang!  So last week's episode of NXT was all about furthering some storylines and rivalries as we head towards NXT TakeOver 36 during SummerSlam week at the end of the month  And tonight looks to be a continuation of that as the card reads as a payoff to last week's confrontations[...]

And NXT, preempted to Syfy for the week, was way down from its normally steady viewership Thanks a lot, Tony Khan! Overall Viewership chart for WWE Raw, WWE NXT, AEW Dynamite, Impact Wrestling, and WWE Smackdown as of Week 28 of 2021 After becoming the A-show for one week last week, Raw's demo rating fell back below[...]

Hey gang!  Last week was all about Samoa Joe wanting to get his hands on NXT Champion Karrion Kross for choking him out the week prior  While NXT GM William Regal pleaded with Joe to settle things without violence, it was Regal himself who would experience how violent Kross could be, as the champ beat Regal unconscious in[...]

Hey gang!  So as NXT ended last week, we saw NXT Champion Karrion Kross take his rivalry with Samoa Joe to a whole new level when he assaulted NXT General Manager William Regal in the parking lot and left him for Joe to find  Joe was in a blind rage at Kross's actions and has sworn revenge on[...]

Hey gang!  So it's been an odd couple of weeks for the NXT brand and it was made all the more weird last night with Karrion Kross's Raw debut  The brand feels a bit without firm direction at the moment, but that can always change with a series of good shows, so here's hoping that kicks off[...]

Hey gang!  So as the headline pretty much states, no one knows what the hell is going on with NXT right now  Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen storylines created only to be abandoned within days due to call-ups and/or releases, we have seen stars return and set up big feuds only[...]

Hey gang!  So as they say, it's all on the line tonight!  NXT Champion Karrion Kross will defend his title in the main event tonight against challenger Johnny Gargano  These two have been at each other's throats for the past few weeks, with Gargano taking any chance he could to get under the champ's skin and[...]

Hey gang!  So after last Tuesday's NXT Great American Bash, we arguably have a more important show to look forward to tonight in terms of impact and in setting the stage going forward  How you might ask?  Well for starters, the NXT title is on the line in tonight's main event as champion Karrion Kross will defend the[...]

Hey gang!  It's a special night of NXT action tonight, as they're throwing their now annual Summer event, the NXT Great American Bash  While it's free on the USA Network, we're being treated to a pay-per-view atmosphere and card, with lots of title matches and a big rematch involving the brand's biggest feud[...]

Hey gang!  Tonight will see NXT in a patriotic color scheme as the brand will host its now annual Summer event, The Great American Bash  Even though it's on free TV, this show is essentially a pay-per-view event for the brand and with that, we will see most of the major titles defended on the show,[...]

Hey gang!  So it looks like this week's episode of NXT will be all about next week, as next Tuesday night will host NXT's Great American Bash special  Tonight we'll see face-offs, confrontations, set-ups, and establishing matches all for what will take place one week from tonight  We should also see more of NXT's newest stable, Diamond[...]

Hey gang!  So last week's episode of WWE NXT ended with a technical masterclass with Kyle O'Reilly vs Kushida and when the smoke cleared and O'Reilly was victorious, the fighting wasn't over!  O'Reilly's arch-nemesis Adam Cole struck and while that would be attention-grabbing enough, The Diamond Mine made its debut by destroying Kushida and we learned their leader[...]

 Later in the day, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com started tweeting a list of names he was reporting had been released by the company. The unlucky list of names included 205 Live stars Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari and NXT stars Fandango, Tyler Breeze, Chase Parker, Matt Martel, and August Grey[...]

Hey gang!  After another brawl last week between Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly, NXT Commissioner William Regal set up a match between them for The Great American Bash on July 6  But first, each man must select an opponent to challenge tonight  O'Reilly selected NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida, but Cole has yet to announce an[...]

Hey gang!  In two weeks NXT will host the next Great American Bash and according to Commissioner William Regal, we're getting round two of Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole at the event  But first, the two former best friends will have seperate bouts tonight against opponents of their choosing  While O'Reilly wasted no time in challenging[...]

Hey gang!  Two nights after NXT TakeOver: In Your House, we're going to see how the results of that event will affect the brand going forward  The biggest questions surround NXT Commissioner William Regal, who shocked everyone at the end of the show by saying it's time for a change in the show's leadership[...]

Hey gang!  After a chaotic event, this past Sunday night in NXT TakeOver: In Your House, it looked like NXT Commissioner William Regal had been pushed to his limit  He ended the show saying that things are out of control and a change might be needed for the brand he has overseen for the past seven[...]

 Well, as it turns out, maybe they have had a bit of seller's remorse and have changed their minds. Samoa Joe is reportedly back in the WWE fold and heading to NXT, courtesy of WWE. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com and further confirmed by the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, Samoa Joe is back with WWE just two[...]

Hey gang!  It's TakeOver time and nostalgia time as we get ready to head back to the mid-1990s for one night with NXT TakeOver: In Your House  NXT champion Karrion Kross will have his hands full in tonight's main event, as he will defend his title against four challengers in a Fatal 5-Way Match for[...]
