    Finally got around to watching the Sami Zayn vs. Nakamura match. That thing lived up to every ounce of hype. What an amazing match. And the crowd was incredible too.

    Unbelievable....

    Would love too see a WWE v. NJPW type show just full of dream matches when they do another Network special in Japan in July

    Okada v Rollins v Styles
    Cena v Tanahashi
    New Day v Young Bucks
    Balor v Omega
    Cesaro v. Shibata
    Anderson & Gallows vs Makabe & Honma
    Owens vs Ishii
    Gable & Jordan vs Ricochet & Matt Sydal

    Would they turn AJ so quickly? He's arguably the biggest face right now, but I could see a delusional vince think that he could get orchestrate a Roman/AJ double turn.

    But if anyone's ripe for a heel turn it would be Finn. It writes itself in that Finn's going back to his old ways, it builds up Doc/Karl, and the crowd would be more accepting of Finn eventually losing the title. Someone brought up the predicament of Demon Finn being booked too strong, but if he turns and people want him to lose, then it'd be a more palatable loss kayfabe wise.

    NXT does need a top face if it's gonna end up touring. Apparently it won't be Crews, and I only hope Nakamura's in nxt long enough for me to catch the next time it comes to Texas. Probably too soon for Aries, and Itami's english is limited, but there's still lots of talent out there to poach besides Puma/Ricochet.

    Nakamura is taking english classes at Full Sail, so I'd say atleast 6-8 months before he starts learning to cut WWE promos.

    They can pull off the subtitle promos on NXT, USA Network would not go for that

    He speaks English pretty well already so I doubt you see him ever cut a Japanese promo even on NXT.

    Well, it's safe to say NJPW won't be missing Nakamura much. Looks like someone is trending on twitter, lol.

    Ricochet confirms he won't be a part of the Network Global Cruiserweight he had already booked the NJPW Super Juniors tourney but he sounds super bummed about it, honestly. Still rumored to be joking NXT after July

    Shinsuke already getting 4 staples to the back of the head at NXT house shows. Just enjoy it as long as it lasts.

    Could be trolling everyone since it's not official but he's not taking any Indy booking dates after June.

    Raw good so far.

    Not a fan of these random tag match main events though.

    Although Reigns and Wyatt might make an interesting storyline development
