Didn't watch yet, but can't wait since many of my faves are involved this week
A three way dance or fatal 4 way with Bayley, Alexa, Eva Marie and maybe Nia Jax might be on the horizon for TO:L
There's a slight imbalance with women faces/heels atm, not enough big faces currently (only Bayley and Asuka, then Carmella), and more well-booked heels (Nia, Alexa, Eva, Dana, Emma)

The comically OTT heat for Eva is tremendous. The fact she has no idea how to handle it just enrages the fans even more. It's great.

I hope the feud between Alexa and Bayley goes on for longer. She's not ready to be champ yet but she's improved and could be a good temporary challenger until Asuka's ready to go for the belt. Plus Eva shouldn't ever ever ever go after the title. If she gets in a long-term feud with Bayley all the way to the next pay per view then I'd seriously consider selling my Takeover London tickets

Gionna/Marley looks like she'll be a face, and I don't know what to make of Peyton Royce right now.

I've decided to accept that Asuka vs. Emma will be THE TAKEOVER MATCH for the women this time round. Bayley will be the Hogan type doing the storyline match.
Emma has been heated up really well since the last Takeover, and I'd expect her to have another impressive performance on tonight's tapings to set up the match. Hopefully this will convince the main roster to take another look at her, and give her a proper story to dismiss her previous failed run.

Also, they need to set up something for Takeover, Bayley defending the belt, ok, but Bayley getting revenge on that undeserving bitch Eva Marie? Better. See what goodwill gets you! It's said that we bitch about the main roster a lot. We don't. The fact is, if RAW was even close to consistently solid in one area then we'd be more willing to "wait and see". It gets us Honkey Tonk Man with Andre in his corner v Ricky Steamboat, I'm actually hyped for the story if they go that way.

If the two have chemistry, the revival of Emma may be complete in Takeover.

I think watching Eva has just about gone from trainwreck entertaining to actually embarrassing.
They really need to stop trying to make her happen.

Allbotcheverything is gonna win by interference from Nia Jax, right? f***! Yeah, it might seem like a great idea to have a REALLY hated champ in NXT that people want to see beaten, but it will drive me to reading spoilers and just waiting for the moment she'll finally get destroyed for good (hopefully).

Dude, you can't have both Alexa AND Eva. You're not Orton. But I'm hardcore, bro. Too bad! I asked Alexa first! edit: They might have had it for a while I haven't paid any attention to them... but I like the additional face paint to the Ascension... it looks much better than just the red stripe they originally had.

Oddly enough, if we take the win/loss records from the pool of possible #1 contenders in the time since Bayley won the belt at Takeover: Brooklyn... She's equal top of the rankings. Emma: 4-0 Eva Marie: 4-0 Nia Jax: 4-0 Asuka: 3-0 Alexa Bliss: 2-2 Dana Brooke: 2-2 Carmella: 1-3 Cameron: 0-1 Peyton Royce: 0-3 Billie Kay: 0-4 How good or bad she actually is is basically irrelevant. In kayfabe, she's a... *deep breath* ...worthy contender. (Today I learned, Evil Emma is actually on a winning streak) Fair enough, I wouldn't say that's enough to put her at the front of the line but maybe they'll explain it next week. If anyone Asuka probably has the most valuable win against Dana Brooke who was on a hot streak before she got beat. Yeah I agree with you, that record doesn't seem enough based on recent events. Bayley had to beat all the other horsewomen to get her shot, Joe's whole heel turn revolves around the fact Regal never handed him a title shot despite his impressive record and gentleman’s agreement with Finn. One of the great things about NXT is that kayfabe logic, they even make an effort to justify stipulations, it's something they can justify easily enough like when Owens jumped the queue but they need to address it so it doesn't undo all that good work they've done.

I could actually see Nia getting Eva DQ'd, then them playing up the "favored child" thing by having a No DQ match in London, and maybe Athena or someone be the person to neutralize Nia Jax.

Billie and Peyton are heels and Gionna/Marley portrays a face on the houseshow circuit and in their TV jobber roles Would be nice to see Gionna and Carmella gain a bit more credibility via jobber/surprise wins. Also Athena might debut very soon
