One big thing: Tommy Dreamer applauds WWE NXT’s press conference segment
Former ECW star and “Busted Open Radio” co-host Tommy Dreamer offered positive feedback on this week’s WWE NXT press conference segment featuring Giulia and Roxanne Perez.
Key takeaways:
• Dreamer praised the segment’s surprise ending, which elevated the overall impact
• He appreciated Roxanne Perez’s performance, noting how she effectively put Giulia over while also challenging her
• The segment successfully set up multiple “dream matches” for wrestling fans
Why it matters:
This press conference format introduces a fresh approach to building storylines and generating hype for upcoming matches in NXT, potentially setting a new standard for promotional segments in professional wrestling.
Dreamer’s perspective:
• On the segment’s structure: “I liked it because of the end. Without that, it would have been a little flat.”
• On language barriers: “It’s also hard to do a press conference when a person’s first language isn’t English.”
• On Roxanne Perez’s role: “I loved Roxanne Perez’s part. Because Roxanne put her over while then ripping her up, and basically saying this is a big match for her.”
The bigger picture:
Dreamer highlighted the significance of the segment’s conclusion, which set up multiple high-profile matches:
“They have three dream matches for wrestling fans, which will be seen. Roxanne Perez versus Giulia. But then the end payoff of Stephanie Vaquer, I’m like, wow, you have a lot of really, really big matches here just in ‘NXT,'” Dreamer said.
What’s next:
Fans can look forward to the highly anticipated match between Giulia and Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship, set to take place next week when NXT debuts on The CW.
