The matches should be decent to great in terms of ring work, but does this upcoming Takeover seem way too predictable?

Sometimes predictable is good, like the Authors of Pain obviously winning the Tag Team Classic. But we don't need a whole show of that.

I find it impressive that NXT can consistently reload with brand new, unknown talent that they build well and get me invested in after just a few weeks. Meanwhile, Vince can take talent I know and am psyched about seeing and make me not give a **** about them after a few weeks on the main roster.

It's amazing what just 1 hour of programming + quarterly PPVs can do.

Overexposure is the #1 problem with WWE right now, even more so than stupid storylines and awful commentary.

I agree. If they wanted to merge the brands back, I think doing a 2 hour RAW and 1 hour SD would be perfect along with that quarterly ppv.

I think it has just as much if not more to do with meaningful championships, fewer comedy attempts, and a less scripted promo feel just as importantly as a shorter, more compact show.

Kota Ibushi: "I want to wrestle Shinsuke Nakamura if it's possible.
He is likely going to be called to the main roser very soon, so i want to do that match in NXT before he moves up.

Amazing. After a ****3/4 match in 2013 and a ***** match in 2015, I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!

If people haven't seen that 2015 match. Go watch it. Quite the heated match between the two and felt like a real fight even with "Mr. Flip" Kota Ibushi

So NXT's weekly show seems to be good again.

I must admit, I'm pretty big on No Way Jose, he could be a big star for the WWE if they continue to give him some character depth.

Don't they have a live special from Japan this weekend? Interesting that they've taped before that.

**** those people chanting "no one cares" at Billie Kay/Peyton Royce. Goddamn, Full Sail sucks.

Ouch at that AOP powerbomb.

Great main event, but how do none of the announcers notice what Roode did to the turnbuckle?

To be fair, the NXT women's division is down right pathetic and they should legit future endeavor everyone not named Asuka.

Also Roode had better win. NXT Nak is way more boring than Nak has any right to be.

Yeah, **** the NXT home crowd, but these new girls are not the caliber of what has left recently. I know they need to time to evolve, but I'm not seeing much in these two or Ember Moon. Daria with MMA gimmick might have a chance though if they make her a stoic ass kicker.

I don't understand why Cien Almas gets so much airtime.

Because they have no Hispanic stars. It's the same reason ADR got pushed to the sun.

I get that foe the main roster, but NXT? Is the priority of NXT to be a training ground for aspiring talent with potential or a standalone group?

It's priority is to be a training ground, the goal for the majority of talent is to make it to the main roster.

No matter how boring ADR was, hispanics still love him and they're a decent size of the demographic so the WWE caters to them. Outside of Kalisto, this is the only guy they have and he was super over in Mexico so I guess they're running with him. Honestly I'd rather them do that then raid LU.

They've been trying to cater to different markets a lot recently. Almost every demographic or developing market has some sort of representation. The roster has never been this diverse.

Was Cien really popular in Mexico? AAA/CMLL are two promotions I've never gotten into. Who would he be a comparable to?

NXT Australia crowd delivered ..... "who are ya" chant and of course "you're a wanker" chant at Elias Samson was great.

Also, dat pop for Bobby Roode good lord.

Like for real Bobby Roode should be on Smackdown in the main event picture right now
