Almas should finally get a win with Ciampa's impending interference.

Too bad we don't get a Pete Dunne match like the last takeover featured. That match stole the show. Still looking like a good card. I also hope all titles stay with the current champions. I like how NXT usually features strong champions
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

For info on a forum that actually talks Fantasy sports and not spammed with soliciting leagues, PM me. The more the merrier !

Super pumped for tonight, especially since I get to watch NXT on my new projector. Let's go BayBay!

i take back what i said about the Almas story, that was great and actually ties in everything. Great opening match also, will be hard to top.

These types of story lines are really weird where you have one guy (McIntyre in this case) who is mixing his real story in with the story line but the other guy is completely story line and his real story is 180 degrees different from the way he's being presented. And its a credit to all of them, but especially Roode, that they've been able to make it work

Well i see KENTA returned. God damn that match was stiff. I really am not too sure about the decision to put Black over Itami but if they're going with it, Black has to win the NXT title or be in that program soon.

Adam Cole is back from the dead (BAYBAY).

He is going by Adam Cole right?

Good show, but take the title of Asuka ffs. Ember was the one to do it. I'm sorry but if the #2 woman in the entire company (yes, above the 4 horsewoman, well at least in my eyes) isn't the one to do it, who will. Also Asuka isn't getting younger, get her to the main roster now. Match was MOTN though. I'm guessing they're going all in on Sane winning the title now (they have, she's about the only one who is better than Moon). Also Nigel namedropping Minoru Suzuki casually, Nigel, do you want to get the young lion experience :lol:

bit ticked that Black went over Itami but the match was fantastic.

Drew McIntyre winning was the right call, bring up Mr Glorious bomb and of course. ADAM COLE BAYBAY.

This ROH vs NXT storyline could be good. Then again its Adam Cole so he's not to be trusted.

Still, about time Cole got in, he's the golden boy.

Overall, the show was probably the best takeover i can remember in a long while, best WWE produced show this year by a mile that's for sure. Every match for me ranged from 8-9/10, everything was that damn good. They just need to nail the builds again and they'll have a near perfect product.

I really, really wish Vince would just retire and let Triple H take over everything.

Spoiler:
Per Meltzer, WWE is very high on Bobby Roode and wants to push him as one of the top 5 guys in the company, and his arrival to the main roster is expected soon.
