The Best Shows to watch on the WWE Network: November 18th-24th
With both NXT TakeOver: WarGames II and Survivor Series taking place over the weekend, it's hard not to recommend them this week. That being said, they won't be a part of this week's list.
Still, if you haven't seen either show, do yourself a favor and check them out over the weekend. You'll thank us later. Specifically, the NXT event is one you'll want to watch as soon as possible. Almost every single match on the card was worthy of main eventing the show.
As far as this week's list, we start off with a familiar show dropping to the fifth spot.
#5 NXT: November 21st, 2018
NXT after any TakeOver usually drops off a bit. Normally, the show is filled with highlights from the weekend's event along with matches that were taped before it took place. That's pretty much what we got here, and even though it was an entertaining hour of TV, it was sort of hard to compete with another programming on the Network.
This week's episode featured two squash matches in order to build up a match with Lars Sullivan and Keith Lee. Both men utterly dominated their opponents in the night, but Lee rushed the ring to face Sullivan after the Leviathan Logophile continued to beat down his competitor. Lee sent Sullivan flying to the outside with a pounce, setting up their match.
The main event of the night featured Nikki Cross in a match against Candace LeRae, who felt Cross had wrongfully interfered in the business of Aleister Black and her husband Johnny Gargano. Cross and LeRae had a pretty strong showing here, with both stars getting some solid offense in. LeRae even locked in the Garga-No Escape at one point, though Cross was able to break it.
Even though the main event was fun, most of this show was highlights and setup. Still, a Keith Lee - Lars Sullivan rivalry seems like something that could keep us coming back each week, especially since we probably won't see the other major stars for a week or so.
