A bunch of rumors going around that they're gonna do a ROH stable, consisting of Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, and Adam Cole

Call em The Dishonored, or Dishonorable

or the Cole Minors

That is a **** fantastic idea.

partial to the dishonoured, though Cole and O'Reilly in a stable is going to be so weird after years of them feuding. Also is Adam Cole keeping his name (i mean it would make sense for him to, then again if Kevin Steen couldn't keep his name then idk how they determine it).

20 bucks he'll be in a storyline with Michael Cole as his brother.

REALLY like the progression they've done with Andrade Almas. Thea Trinidad (Zelina Vega) is absolutely perfect for his character.

The Street Profits gimmick is kinda silly but holy crap does Montez Ford have potential. The guy oozes charisma and in terms of pure athleticism, I'd put him ahead of Kofi and Neville and say Shelton in his prime is probably the only person that might have him beat.

Montez, yeah that dude comes across as absolute star potential. Definitely see him turning on and leaving Dawkins (in the dust yet again) moving on to bigger and better things. Scary how good he could be, just springs off the canvas so smooth and effortlessly.

The Brooklyn show is looking a lot better than Summerslam on paper.

Even if it looked worse on paper it would still be a lock to be better.

I don't even remember the last time a Takeover was worse than the WWE PPV from the same weekend. Has it ever happened since they started pairing the Takeovers with PPVs? And typically the Takeover is substantially better.

He's gonna go down as one of the greats.

I agree. He is amazing in the ring.

Also love Asuka and Ember. I expect another Sasha/Bailey like classic at Takeover.

i actually vehemently hate what they're doing with him, they're trying to take the best things about him away (the tranquillo etc). She's just downright annoying and a nuisance.

Also him being treated as a mid to lower mid carder is beyond me, the guy i would have thought would be a near main eventer.

Adam Cole is on board, and may debut at Takeover. Personally, I hope he shows up at the end of the main event with his ROH faction and lays out whoever wins.

wwe is saying that Asuka is broke her collarbone and will be out 2 months. im guessing this is a work to move her to the main roster and the winner of the upcoming womens tournament will be crowned the new NXT champ

Well, I called that Adam Cole appearance at the end of the show.

I appreciate them simply moving on from Roode as champion rather than rehashing Roode/McIntyre at the next Takeover in a rematch. I really wish NXT would do that more often. There's no need to have rematches after every title switch unless it makes sense within the story. I also don't think they should have the same title matches multiple times in a row to headline Takeovers unless the previous match was absolutely fantastic and warrants another go.

The formation of reDRagon was basically inevitable with O'Reilly and Fish both losing their first NXT matches. Plus, with DIY broken up and the Authors of Pain potentially getting called up, the tag division desperately needed some new blood anyway. I just wonder if anyone else will become involved in their stable. Strong seems like a potential choice.

This x 1000. It would be one thing if they had a ppv every other week like the main brands. But we only get like 5 or so takeovers a year. Which I'm fine with that because it keeps things fresh, but no need to waste a main event when there are only a precious few a year

If they're going to have rematches for titles and the former champ is moving up, they should have the rematch on a weekly show while building toward a new feud for the next Takeover.
