Hello!

And welcome to the NXT preview.

I'm Adam Wilborn from What Culture, John Bono.

I'm with Michael Amphron from What Culture. Here's a look at to tonight's episode of NXT. But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to What Culture Wrestling on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon, music and YouTube. We do daily wrestling podcasts where we're not to review the show, formerly known as NXT2.

Oh, but also in Monarch.

Oh, front of in Monaro on, MacDown, A.W. Dynamite, pay reviews, premium live event. We have interviews, roundtable discussions and a roundup of the week complete with the regular quiz of course on wrestle coach. As I said, though, joined by Michael Hamlet's look ahead to tell the next episode of NXT, big show tonight. Big one. I spent my lunch today beating Murray at FIFA twice and then watching on like one and three quarter speed the first episode of the new season of Unreal. Oh yeah, is that dropped? Yeah. And I'll probably end up watching it again later, but I just wanted to get through

the first.

I love Unreal.

I hate it, but I love it. Yeah, I'm not a fan. The experience of watching it. I hate them, right? That's my feelings on Unreal. Every season's the same. This one starts with

I'm not like spoil the whole thing

because it has just dropped today

and I want to give people time

but like it starts

calendar-wide This one starts with, I'll not like spoil the whole thing because it has just dropped today and I want to give people time.

But like it starts calendar-wise in the back half of 2025, centers around AJ Lee's return at Russell Paloosa talks about, kind of like rushes through the John Cena heel turn to get you

reset to the point where he's turned baby face again and like, right, we've got to finish the year off, of course. And it's sent- John-Sina turned heel, that was all great. But anyway, back to when he turned baby face. Kind of. Like, he does this, I guess I'm spoiling, spoiler in it a bit. But he does that John Cena way of like him and like,

it kind of flits back and forth between talking heads with him and with Triple H.

Where like they both agree everything about the heel term was goaded.

And then they both agree that pivoting back to being a baby face would be goaded.

And then they kind of like say, isn't it so lucky that we've gone from goaded to goaded here. I feel like there's something in the middle of the air we might have missed. Like, they kind of like, Seena's sort of like, you know, had this sort of pitch and triple it's like, you know, and when a guy like Seena wants to try something, you let a guy like a senior do it. but then I think I just thought, like, maybe we've gone too far in that direction.

We want to start giving the people what they want.

And you hear like, Cina saying like, yeah, and did it for a bit. It was good. And then like, like, Triple H kind of came up this idea that maybe we do a bit of different. I was like, good call, good call, cut. It's all the usual unreal, the usual and real, right?
