Mcleod: The NXT Prophecy Comes True

Will Roderick Strong complete the Undisputed Era prophecy of being draped in gold on the USA Network? Scott Mcleod has thoughts on the outcome!

Will Roderick Strong complete the Undisputed Era prophecy of being draped in gold on the USA Network? Scott Mcleod has thoughts on the outcome!

This week’s NXT saw the Full Sail Return of the Velveteen Dream as he was victorious over Kona Reaves. Roderick Strong appeared on the screen revealing he had burned the Dream’s couch. Strong has been demanding another shot at Dream since Takeover Toronto as it was Dunne who was pinned not him. It was confirmed on Twitter that Strong will get that shot on September 18th when NXT debuts on the USA Network. This has me thinking this is where Adam Cole’s Prophecy of the Undisputed Era being draped in gold comes true.

Last week after claiming the illegal man was pinned in Toronto Fish and O’Reilly won the tag titles from the Street Profits. That along with Cole retaining over Jordan Myles in this week’s main event just leaves Strong to win a title. Given this is the first show on USA you now they’ll want to pull out all the stops to present NXT to a new audience and a title change could be a good way to do that.

I mentioned before that I believe Strong is the least interesting member of the Undisputed Era. This is nothing against is in ring ability but unlike his stablemates he can’t carry himself too well on the mic. His promo this week was okay but the main focus point was the burning couch.

The first two weeks NXT is on USA it will not be opposed by AEW so they’ll want to put on two excellent shows to encourage people to stick with NXT over AEW. New viewers will hopefully be captivated by the Dream and the story of Undisputed Era wanting all the gold is an easy one for new fans to follow. The image of Undisputed Era posing at the top of the ramp with all the titles instantly puts them across as this dominant force. Shades of Evolution at Armageddon 2003.

Give Undisputed Era much needed heat heading into the third NXT Takeover War Games where I expect it will be them vs a team of people they’ve screwed over. It’s the way it’s been the last two years but it makes sense as they’re the only real heel faction WWE has right now. Another way they’re like the Four Horsemen as in early years of War Games it would be a team of faces vs the Horsemen.

Not sure who the other team would be. Probably The Dream, Street Profits and a potential new challenger for Cole’s NXT Championship. I think maybe Myles or Matt Riddle but I’m not too confident about either. Would be great if they put all of the gold on the line but I can’t see that happening.

Originally I saw Undisputed Era following one short of their goal with Strong being the one to fail. While all good factions should have all the gold at some point sometimes Heels should fail in their goal to give them comeuppance. However NXT is going to need all it’s top stars for the move to USA so that will see Undisputed Era stay in NXT for the foreseeable future. This makes them getting all the gold much more likely and the USA debut seems as good as place as any.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr. 

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.

Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.

Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.

I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.

King’s WrestleMania Rewind: Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio (WrestleMania 21)

Eddie Guerrero WWE WrestleMania 21

In the next WrestleMania Rewind, Chris King takes us back to WWE WrestleMania 21, and Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero in a battle of tag team champions!

Chris King is back with his third edition of WrestleMania Rewind. This week he’s bringing us back to some ‘Latino Heat.’ We’re rolling back to WrestleMania 21 where Eddie Guerrero faced longtime friend and rival Rey Mysterio.

This would be Guerrero’s last Mania match caused by his unfortunate death. Over on SmackDown, Mysterio and Guerrero would become the tag team champions at No Way Out where they defeated MNM.

Chavo Guerrero would get into the head of Latino Heat by making him believe Mysterio was trying one-up his tag team partner. Chavo went as far as to tell his uncle to stop using the Guerrero name.

Guerrero would finally give in to his nephew’s manipulation and went on to challenge Mysterio to a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 21. I For the first time in history, both tag team champions would face each other. Guerrero vs. Mysterio was the first match on the stacked card. Both partners threw everything at each other including the kitchen sink in a battle of one-up-manship.  In an incredible high-octane match that saw both superstars delivering counter for counter, Mysterio pulled off the win with a surprise pin roll up.

A few months later, what once was a friendly battle turned into a nasty fight involving the custody of Mysterio’s real-life son Dominik Mysterio. After several torturous weeks, both former tag team champions would face off in a ladder match with the custody of Dominick on the line. I forgot how amazing this rivalry was and it’s definitely worth a watch. Sadly, we would lose Latino Heat in November of 2005. There will never be another Eddie Guerrero. Viva La Raza!
