NXT Vengeance starting out STRONG with this match god damn. Really good match, that top rope Huricanrana spot looked BRUTAL, and the false finish that followed had me. I also really liked that the story of the match earlier was Wes trying to lift Dijak but it only happened after he clocked him badly.
I've loved every second of HHH handling Wes since MSK disbanded, the idea of Wes being this kind of Solo act seemed like something out of fantasy booking, but his overall likability and good booking has really made him a standout star imo.
Can you believe Dijak was wasting away on the main roster for over a year as a guy named T-Bar when he could have been putting on banger after banger instead.
It’s surprising that he never had any interest from Vince, he’s a big guy with a good look. Usually he’s the type that Vince would give an early push to
I honestly did not expect these guys to go this hard in this match. This felt like a Takeover match of old, from the impressive spots and going to a point where you could argue they did a little too much, lol.
I wouldn’t even call it a spot fest. At least in person, it felt like there was still story happening. Wes trying to lift Dijak but needing to weaken him, Dijak trying to use his power to overcome Wes’ speed and high flying, Wes’ heart in kicking out time and time again, etc.
Watching this great match in front of a big crowd going crazy takes me back to when NXT was at it's peak. I think NXT is a good underrated show now but hopefully they gain momentum after tonight.
Damn, that was some hyper indy shit right there. Could do with less false finishes and people getting dumped on their head, but otherwise a very fun match.
I mean what can you say two of the best wrestlers getting to wrestle. Poor Dijak with another loss. Dijak vs Lee vs D'Angelo is still my guess for Mania weekend for whatever they're calling the PPV.
Fantastic match, my only complaint is that they kicked out of the Spiral Tap to end on a (admittedly sick looking) kick. Wish those two were flipped but otherwise shit ruled
This kinda reminded me of Dijak vs Lee for the NA title. Was rooting for my boy but by the end of it I wasn’t mad that Lee won because I started rooting for both.
I think they should have done the D'Angelo run in earlier, not to take away from the finish. Kind of makes it look like Wes Lee needed help to survive. Though I do get trying to protect him.
Great performance from both here. Dijak with a bit of polish on his character is close to main roster again. Wes Lee solo run has been great, happy to see it continue.
Holy shit. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Wes Lee wrestle and I am 100% bought in and sold. This kid is special. Haven’t loved one of Dijak’s matches this much since his series with Keith Lee. Wes Lee just made him look like an absolute monster.
Voting for the Smarkies, the Wreddit Awards, and the return of the Botchies for 2022 are open!
They set the T bar with that one
Hehehehe
Now they have to set T Bar’s finger
Bryan Alvarez: TEEEEE BARRRR?!
you could say...they set t bar.
THAT FINGER OMG
Somewhere Sin Cara felt a chill go down his spine
I fucking jerked my head away and covered my eyes lmao
Classic Takeover style match, this match fuckin ruled

His finger
He was shaking his hand out earlier but I guess it popped back in. Then on that super kick it must have popped back out 😬
NXT is fully back. Great Start and happy Wes got his moment in front of a big Crowd.

Hell of an opener. Some of those bumps were crazy. Crowd was red hot too.
Seriously, seriously impressed by this crowd. Not just how they’re reacting, but the amount of people! Pre-Takeover vibes finally after so long
The crowd was amazing for this match.
The crowd was energetic, diverse, and psyched. Really fun crowd, as hyped as I've seen for some big-name main roster shows I've been to.
God I’ve missed Dijak so so much
Old NXT vibes
I honestly did not expect these guys to go this hard in this match. This felt like a Takeover match of old, from the impressive spots and going to a point where you could argue they did a little too much, lol.
What an amazing opener!! Both guys impressed, what a match!
Wes Lee is fucking DIMES, that mid air spike off the powerbomb was wild
No, (Two) DIMES sleeps with the fishes.
Actually Dimes was the guy they released
crazy spotfest rip the finger
I wouldn’t even call it a spot fest. At least in person, it felt like there was still story happening. Wes trying to lift Dijak but needing to weaken him, Dijak trying to use his power to overcome Wes’ speed and high flying, Wes’ heart in kicking out time and time again, etc.
oh lord the finger
Losing Nash might've been the best thing to happen to Wes
Watching this great match in front of a big crowd going crazy takes me back to when NXT was at it's peak. I think NXT is a good underrated show now but hopefully they gain momentum after tonight.
That was fuckin awesome
Wowwww Wes Lee so f’n good and that crowd too
Wes Lee is HIM
Someone tell Dijak you can’t do that to a Made Man
Hopefully, NXT keeps the title on Lee for a while.

That was my first nxt match since the days of Nakamura and was really impressive
Wes Lee came out of that one looking like a world beater
Great match, but Dijak deserves a title ☹️
He got himself a badly broken finger to compensate
I always underrate Wes Lee but I think it's safe to say that the guy is great, and they clearly trust him
Fantastic match, my only complaint is that they kicked out of the Spiral Tap to end on a (admittedly sick looking) kick. Wish those two were flipped but otherwise shit ruled
I love to see a David & Goliath match-up feel evenly matched. Both dudes looked mint, investing all my nonexistent income in Wes Lee.
God I seriously missed seeing a larger crowd for NXT shows. They were on fire and so into that match from the start all the way to the finish.
Wes Lee vs. Dijak 🤝 Keith Lee vs. Dominik Dijakovic
match of the night .
That finger tho
WWE MOTY contender at the very least. Felt like classic NXT in the best possible way.
This kinda reminded me of Dijak vs Lee for the NA title. Was rooting for my boy but by the end of it I wasn’t mad that Lee won because I started rooting for both.
Ooh Dijak's finger 🧐
I think they should have done the D'Angelo run in earlier, not to take away from the finish. Kind of makes it look like Wes Lee needed help to survive. Though I do get trying to protect him.
Great match. That corkscrew swanton is a way better finisher than Lee's actual finisher though
When you haven't seen someone wrestle in a while, you forget just good they are. I had that moment with Dijak, Wes and him had an incredible match.
Hell of a match, great bar setter
I forgot Wes is the same guy who got tossed from the ring to a table and still won
Great performance from both here. Dijak with a bit of polish on his character is close to main roster again. Wes Lee solo run has been great, happy to see it continue.
I don’t usually watch NXT, but what a banger of a match that was!
wtf what happened to dijacks finger?
Crazy match, did not expect it to be THAT good. Wish he'd hit the chair spot. Was that finger broken? When did that happen?
That match fucking ruled but holy shit I didn't need the close up on the finger lol
OP think you mean retains
What a match. Peak Takeover energy from this
he should be renamed Dijit
People hating on Wes this week scream
Anyone else confused by that finish?
You are overthinking it. Playing booker instead of being a fan. Fan is more fun.
Would’ve rather have had Dijak win that one, but it was so great I’m just happy either way.
This match & Fatal Four Way Tag match were the best matches of the night.
Holy shit. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Wes Lee wrestle and I am 100% bought in and sold. This kid is special. Haven’t loved one of Dijak’s matches this much since his series with Keith Lee. Wes Lee just made him look like an absolute monster.
Incredible, incredible match. How good were these two man, holy smokes. Genuinely amazing.
