NXT recap & reactions (Sep. 2, 2025): The Scottish wrestler appears

Discombobulate

Not going to bury the lede: This was not an entertaining show. Were there things I liked? Of course. But overall, this was a messy two hours. For the first hour, we got one full match and then a Speed match. That’s it. The rest was either someone talking in the ring, talking backstage, or a bunch of people talking backstage. There’s one wrestler and one faction both angry at the world because they were overlooked and dissed for too long by everyone in the territory. There are storylines and wrestlers left dangling from week to week, so it’s hard getting invested in anything because of that unreliability. And to top it off, the main event ended in an incredible silly way that undercut the bad guys, who also happen to hold Tag Team gold.

After last week’s brouhaha between DarkState, Hank & Tank, Ricky Saints, and Oba Femi, Ava booked an eight-man tag. Hank & Tank knew putting Ricky and Oba together sounded like a terrible idea, but they poked the bears. They talked up Ricky to Oba and vice versa because they had a secret weapon. They were playing with house money because they found DarkState’s weakness:

Joe Hendry.

Specifically, the appearance of Joe Hendry. Let me paint the scene. Early in the tag, Oba and Ricky worked well together. The cracks showed a bit when they tried some jocular slapping, but they kept it together. Then it fell apart later when Oba tagged himself in just as Ricky found his groove. That led to all this:

Welp, it was only a matter of time…

Oba Femi and Ricky Saints are throwing down!
