I'm sure HBK loved this
That's what it's all about, respect and both men are trying to bring the best out of each other, they knew somewhere down the line it can only be one carrying that NXT Championship and both have to face other to see who is the better man.They've managed to make a 'we respect each other' feud special, which is no small task. Look at how lifeless and dull the Asuka v Bianca feud is for example. Time for Bron to drop the Title though.
I think Carmelo Hayes absolutely elevated himself to get where it's at, you gotta respect greatness where it's due but now he has a big task at hand and taking it to the new level and that's Bron Breakker and the NXT Championship. I'm not gonna hold you, he's my favorite wrestler, I see full star potential in him, he's young but has all the credentials to carry the NXT Championship. He just needs to believe himself, because what Bron Breakker said about Carmelo not being ready for the NXT Championship and being a Main Event player should rub Melo the wrong way and take that as motivation to dethrone Bron.The problem is Carmelo.
He's just meh.
