NXT Fans Are Split on Tonight's Clip Filled Episode
With the coronavirus causing crowds to stay in their homes, wrestling promotions have had to adapt [...]
Can't Believe
Some can't figure out what is not to like about watching this fantastic feud build.
Can’t believe fans are actually complaining about reliving the gargano/ciampa feud. Y’all are never happy are you? #NXT

The Highlights
Many are really enjoying seeing the new interviews and character pieces amongst all the great footage, even if it's not a live match.
Very interesting “highlight” edition of NXT so far-loving the interviews and character pieces!

Love What They Are Doing
One fan loves what NXT is doing, even if AEW is doing actual matches.
I know everyone is paying attention to #AEW but I love what #NXT is doing with these video packages. Telling stories without putting the health of the wrestlers at potential risk. Also avoid the empty arena matches

Defeated
Others are not a fan of the new spin on a clip show, and feel WWE was defeated here.
╱ AEW has live matches in an arena filled with talent spectators.
NXT has video packages with recaps of matches we already seen.
I’m sorry but Coronavirus defeated WWE.

Better Late Than Never
Some are loving the storytelling here, but they just wish it had happened sooner.
NXT doing more storytelling in 25 minutes tonight than they have in over a year.

Skeleton Crew
Others feel like AEW has been better than all three WWE shows, including NXT, combined.
As I brought up Mon, you now see the skeleton crew WWE is trying to get away with live leading up to WrestleMania. AEW is handing WWE their ass in presentation. I've enjoyed the first 30 minutes of AEW more than this past week's Smackdown, Raw, and first 30 min of NXT combined.

Atmosphere
Others just wish they had built some atmosphere with parts of the NXT roster in the crowd.
Wwe could have had some of the Nxt roster as extras and crowd just have some atmosphere this is where Aew we showing them how to do it

Fire
Others feel NXT is handling this much better than Raw or SmackDown.
On RAW and Smackdown we get replays of previous ppvs.
On NXT, we get an originally produced video package hyping up one of their top feuds.
This Johnny Gargano Ciampa video is 🔥. #WWENXT #WWE

No Point
Others just don't see the point without any matches.
No live matches no point in NXT
