Ricochet and Black competing in 2 title matches in 2 PPVs. Will a loss in Takeover signal a win in WM?

Btw. I thought they were teasing a feud between Hardys and Usos?

Can't wait for the riddle and dream Match as well as Walter vs Dunne.. That match should be pretty Damn physical to say the least.

Dunne/Walter: Can be a fun match, interesting to see if they take the title off Dunne

Cole/Gargano: I'm sure this will be good, my money is on Adam Cole

Dream/Riddle: Another good match on paper, can't see them giving Riddle a L yet so he'll win

Baszler/Belair/Sane/Shirai: Fatal 4 way stipulation was 100% so Shayna doesn't have to take the pin, I'd pick either Belair or Shirai

Black&Ricochet/War Raiders: Sounds like a great opener, but I still don't like Black and Ricochet as a team

This is the hottest I've ever seen an NXT crowd at the start of an event. And that's saying something. They've built something truly special.

I love how NXT just lets everyone go out and try to steal the show. With the main roster, it usually feels like the lower card guys are intentionally held back so they don't overshadow the main eventers.

Yeah War Raiders have killed it in every big match they've been in. Hanson is ridiculous.

All right, guys. I'm drinking a different whiskey for each match. First match was bourbon and Knob Creek Single Barrel.

For this one, I'm moving to Irish whiskey.

Choose one for me...

Redbreast
Green Spot
Bushmill's (please don't pick this one...it's fine but come on)

I'm f'n stoked for this match. Dunne is my favorite up and coming talent on the roster but I think riddle has surpassed dream as #2 for me. This match should be electric
