    NXT Invasion | Brilliant Baszler, Brock leaves SmackDown & Cole's title defences
    The Lock Up crew are back to break down a superb pair of WWE episodes of Raw and SmackDown – which saw superstars from NXT leave their pre-Survivor Series mark on the main roster!

    With the invasion top of the agenda for discussion, was this the best episode of SmackDown in recent memory? And how much did WWE having their ‘backs against the wall’ because of the Saudi travel issues impact on booking?

    With some Rey Mysterio baseball bat chat and another passionate plea from TJ to stop the squash matches, plus enough fantasy booking to fill the next three months of WWE, this is a must-listen episode!

    The Lock Up crew return once again for a slice of intelligent conversation and hilarious bants from inside the inner sanctum as the past week’s offerings from the red and blue brands get the deep dive treatment.

    The Crew run the rule over a curious episode of SmackDown and a crown jewels-less Raw in which the key talking point concerned the Crown Jewel pay-per-view. Cain Velasquez burst into a WWE ring once again and hit Shelton Benjamin with some ‘interesting’ punches and Seth Rollins held off the challenge of Humberto Cariillo – with The Fiend nowhere to be seen.

    With a mixed reaction to the Street Profits’ debut, a new layer in the Kofi Kinston story potentially emerging and the traditional weekly Bayley conversation, this is another can’t miss episode from the home of WWE in the UK and Ireland!
