Summary
With NXT TakeOver XXV in the rear-view mirror, Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein take a deep dive on the insane show, discussing why the product is so good and whether that style of professional wrestling could actually translate to WWE's main roster. WWE champion Kofi Kingston also joins the show to break down winning the title at WrestleMania 35, his life-changing trip back to is native Ghana and why he and Dolph Ziggler make such great foils (1:26:16). The show opens with BC getting taken to task for his treatment of The Silver King last week with the guys (appearing to) settle their beef and focus on the positives. They also briefly talk about Brock Lesnar being used as a ratings ploy, whether any part of Blood Money in the Sand III is worthwhile, Jon Moxley's debut in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, whether fans should legitimately be excited for Dominion 6.9 on Sunday and how WWE has completely screwed up its women's division. Plus, feel spots are activated in a major way by Bray Wyatt and the continued success of the Firefly Fun House.
