WWE NXT 3/3/26 Review | upNXT


CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns promo

CM Punk taking a trick out of Christian's bag and telling Roman Reigns, hey, your dad? Your dad's dead. And Roman is pissed.

Davey Portman

I'd say the only thing that kind of I didn't necessarily like was the final line about I'm gonna bury you next to your dad. It was just a bit of a leap.

Brayden Harrington

Penta Intercontinental title win

I'm so proud of Penta. I mean, he's a guy we followed for a long time and seeing him get some WWE gold, the Intercontinental title, it's gonna be a big deal for him.

Brayden Harrington

Gunther WrestleMania plans

I think Gunther with the year he had should still be like a bit of a more featured match. I think Gunther is Rey Mysterio, I think that's the match.

Brayden Harrington

Elimination Chamber critique

I think with Chamber as well, they didn't do enough to highlight people that were getting eliminated in the match. I didn't think they did a good job really like building up the individual stories or characters or showcasing anyone.

Davey Portman

Vanity Project stable potential

I really hope this unit isn't just going to be an NXT thing. Because I think the five of them, like you could call the five of them together the Vanity Project, move them up. And I think it really works.

Davey Portman

Oba Femi WrestleMania plans

I'm leaning towards that maybe being the direction right now and Oba is maybe I don't see him in a Rusev match but maybe you throw in one of these multi-person IC title matches or something like that and he just dominates.

Davey Portman

Ethan Page character direction

I don't know if he's going to move up anytime soon but normally when this happens to Ethan Page he comes back a little bit more violent.

Brayden Harrington

WrestleMania watch party announcement

Officially announced, Davey, we're back in the saddle again. We're doing it bigger than we've ever done. This should be our biggest watch party ever, I think.

NXT Stand and Deliver coverage

I'm making the hot tag announcing here first. John Pollock will be joining me for our Stand and Deliver episode of upNXT April 4th coming soon.
