NXT Level 353: CarnEVIL
POP OF THE NIGHT:
As much as I want to say the ending segment where Six Feet Under was formed, it involves me and I have to be fair to the other segments. With that said, I'm giving this to Michaela. I love how fucking smug Jasper comes across in this segment. Dude not only has the balls to call out Attano, the man that wants him dead for killing his daughter, but he also has the audacity to say that he never killed her in the first place! Nick is right about this reeking of mind games, but knowing OSW and its massive shocks, it could very well be the truth and we just don't want to believe it. Who knows what'll end up happening when Jackson digs through the case and finds out what really happened. Will the duo of Jasper and CJ end up being proven right? Or will they just use it to sow discord between Harold and Jackson?
BURNING QUESTIONS:
Who killed Michaela Attano, if not Jasper? Is he telling the truth, or playing mind games, like I think he is? I'm interested in finding out alongside Jackson just whodunit.
How will Destructo Boy change after this second dip into the Odyssey Pool? If he emerged more vicious and violent after the first time, will that attitude become more severe this time? Or will he mellow out in order to try to talk down a similarly violent Blaze? Can't wait to find out!
Who is the fifth key that Narcissa supposedly knows about? Is she even telling the truth, or is she just fucking with the Revelator? Speaking of John, will he take the deal and make Apokalypsis plus Vision stand down, or will he not go for it and leave them short a key and their goal? I'm kind of scared to find out what the answer could possibly be.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Mr. Kleen - Welp, the former Python certainly has no control over his impulses, that's for sure. He definitely isn't going to win any points with the rest of the (past) Kingdom members for killing the perpetrator again. I know that he'll be kicked out as a result of this, but what he did as a response to being kicked out is what I'm curious about now. Would he try to sway some other members to join him in his crusade to clean up Arcadia? Will he kill the others in the name of cleaning up the filth? I'm curious to know what he had done next.
Dahlia - Well, the Black Rose seems to have a hankering on where Victor could be if not in Deathrow. I don't know where that would be given they haven't been seen together much outside of a couple segments in the prison, but I'm curious to know where that could be. Did Victor start the fire in the factory? What's the plan that'll draw the bastard child out? Why is Dahlia concerned about the idea she has? I know we'll find out next week, but I'm curious to find out if it's gonna backfire in some way or not before then nonetheless.
Blaze - First things first, the segment involving young James. Seems like the young man was an arsonist at heart when growing up, and the anger shows that he doesn't understand why it had to be extinguished. Guess he hadn't touched a hot stove before this segment. It really established Faith as a little shithead that needed to learn his lesson a long time ago, but never did. I have to wonder if the dip in the Odyssey Pool will help him remember just what he did (if he did it) or will it only result in a further divide between father and son?
Now onto the reveal that he joined Six Feet Under. Holy shit was I not expecting him to join this faction of human hating folks. I'm interested in knowing why he turned on the Pool Boys and joined Tombstone in his cause. Poor Felix though, dude got absolutely obliterated here.
OP OF THE NIGHT: Can it be anything but Six Feet Under here? Not only a brilliant debut for Gravedigger, but a heartbreaking betrayal by Blaze to Felix, and the birth of a new terrifying stable here. Midnight, Blaze, Gravedigger all being lead by Tombstone is a spine chilling prospect and the stories alone that come out of this are fascinating. Felix needing to survive this hell, the Kid and Doom clearly coming to save their buddy, perhaps joined by a certain Raven. Huge, huge implications here and hugely intrigued to see what happens next for Six Feet Under and poor Felix.
BURNING QUESTIONS: Who was the person that killed Michaela Attano if it wasn't Redgrave who did it?
How badly did Troy screw up with the Lionheart virus and how far will Colt take getting his story?
What exactly does Raven wish most and will it be enough to sway him into the clutches of Six Feet Under?
Does Narcissa know who the keyholder is truly? How did she come about this knowledge and will she give up the knowledge if the Uprising win?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Victor Doom: So Dhalia and Stubbins are still trying to find the wayward son here, I'm curious to see how Dhalia thinks she's going to get him to appear but I have a feeling Black isn't surviving next week somehow. Also I am curious to whether he truly set the fire in the Factory or not, it seems fitting given his hatred but there is a chance Victor's still innocent in all this.
Destructo Boy: Man the flashbacks keep making me hate this little shit more and more. I'm curious if there's a little bit of sociopathy in him or it's just a sheltered kid who doesn't understand danger cause his dad is this big hero who always saves the day. Either way, I have a feeling we'll find out soon with James double dipping into the pool. We haven't seen anyone do so thus far, the implications are incredible danger as who knows what emerges from it and even if he is the same, if he gains the knowledge he needs...woah boy. That and finding out what his father has just done to a man he considers an uncle at this point, Ring of Dreams is going to be something else and I cannot wait for it.
