Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker on NXT Tonight Will Be As Good as Any Forbidden Door Match

Tonight on NXT, Seth Rollins returns back to NXT. He defends his recently won World Heavyweight Championship. Seth goes back to where he shined above everyone else and where he was deemed worthy enough to he the first NXT Champion. If Ring of Honor is where he was born and WWE is where he’s matured, then NXT was his angsty adolescence years. Seth was wrestling in NXT before Takeovers were a thing, before NXT became a somewhat household name with Seth Rollins. While he wasn’t there for NXT’s glory years, he certainly paved the way for those years and for those wrestlers to shine.

When you mention NXT Champions, you have to mention Seth. He set the standard and went onto become a massive name. Tonight on NXT, he faces a guy you also have to mention in that conversation. Bron Breakker. Both proved to be worthy Champions.

Bron Breakker is about to ascend to the main roster while Seth Rollins is in the prime of his career. It’s a great story going in. The veteran who’s not going a way for a while vs a blue chip prospect with plenty to prove.

What can we expect out of this match? Seth Rollins could get a good match out of a paper bag and Bron has proved the be much more than that. While he isn’t the workhorse champion like Finn Balor or Adam Cole, he’s had really good matches against the likes of Carmelo Hayes, Tyler Bate and Ilja Dragunov. If this match is given the time it deserves and a proper finish I think it will be one of the best matches of the whole week. And it’s a huge one. That isn’t hyperbole. Both wrestlers are capable of putting on a match as good anything at Forbidden Door.

What do you think? Could we get a new Champion?

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show. WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

Several AEW Releases Reported

PWInsider additionally reported that The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry have also been released. We have word on several All Elite Wrestling releases. On Monday, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported Dasha Kuret, Stu Grayson, Jose the Assistant, Jora Johl, Gravity, Slim J and Parker Boudreaux have been released. In addition to Sean’s announcements, PWInsider reported the release of The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry. PWInsider also notes that AEW is "evaluating their talent roster and making cuts to benefit both the company and the talents." This is the second time Stu Grayson has been released from the company. Maybe the third time in the future will be the charm. I wonder what happens to Parker Boudreaux. He has the look of a future World Heavyweight Cha
