Life in the NXT Fastlane

It was a big week for wrestling, from Fastlane to a star-studded episode of NXT, and your trusty ILW team is here to talk about it with you. The surprising new Universal Tag Team Champs Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso prove their buddy-cop status with hilarious chemistry during a yeet-filled press conference, especially in contrast to the stilted awkwardness of John Cena and LA Knight together. NXT’s star-studded episode hits the right mix of cameos and spotlighting new talent, though we can’t say we’ll be tuning in to next week’s Bada Bing Bada Boom Battle Royale. Rachel reflects on her experience as she approaches the final few episodes of Total Bellas, Matt finds parallels between important losses for Shinsuke and Sami, and Audio Ben successfully battles Covid. TWITTER @ilwpodRACHEL’S TWITTER @rpolansky77 BEN’S TWITTER @grumphandleslam MATT’S TWITTER @maxvocalmediaINSTAGRAM @ilwpodTIKTOK @mattvogel5 and @ilwpod#ilikewrestlingpod #ilwpod
