Dear eNYGMAtic followers and readers,
due to personal issues, this week’s review, and maybe the coming weeks’ ones, will be shorter and probably less “Nygma” than usual.

To be eNYGMAtic…
Excellent episode, with great matches, good backstage segments, and KUSHIDA debut. I’m unable to find a flat note this week. Emergence is taking place in 3 weeks and the build-up is good. That motivates me to come back to my reviews stronger and fiercer than ever…
On this “Nygma Needs to Slow Down” note, until next week (if I want), take care, stay safe, watch wrestling, and never EVER forget to stay #eNYGMAtic…
