This whole thing is just weird. Nah, I don't like that DIY's main roster direction is in direct opposition to their NXT direction. This is silly. It's like Dragon Ball Super having a different storyline compared to it's manga. Technically not though, when they had their tag team matches, it lead into the beginning of these tapings. With DIY being together. They can play them up being together for a few more weeks as well. The turn itself isn't live until three weeks. That's stupid because there's no way that these guys aren't going to be a tag team on the main roster for at least a year. Recently I read a report that management was looking into bringing these guys up to the main roster as a tag team full time and then suddenly it happened Monday. Even after they feud in NXT they're going to be a tag team on the main roster for at least a year and beyond that given they were just called up full time they need to set up a way for others to get the NXT Title rather than Ciampa still hogging it.
This just isn't good. They should have set up Ciampa losing his belt while Gargano and Ciampa just had less issues because that's more streamlined compared to them fighting again.

Is there a reason the Dusty Classic doesn't go the CWC/MYC route other than because? I'm pretty sure you could get 16 fairly known teams Indie/NXT for a good field.
Also, I know it's the "right" way for it to go, but...hard pass on Gargano. Just...ugh.

I mean, the DIY stuff makes absolutely no sense but that's just continuing the trend, all the logic left this story a LONG time ago.

I think the DIY feud has been fine. It always was Ciampa trying to play Gargano to his advantage and Gargano reluctantly going along, just waiting for the moment. He knows Ciampa is going to show his true colors and was just waiting to use it against him. And that is exactly what happens.
Main roster stuff does not matter.

What exactly is the appeal in wanting to see Gargano win the belt? Dude's been a straight up ass since his heel turn. The lesser of two assholes is still an asshole. Johnny Jabroni

So next taping we need to have Johnny out cutting a promo about how he became what he hated and it got him nowhere, and apologizing to the fans leading him on a series of matches vs Ricochet, Dream and Black, where he finally does redeem himself, proving that he's changed, completing his face turn and setting up his final showdown with Ciampa.

I mean this is going to be a very fitting closer to this era of NXT, but Gargano/Ciampa have done it all against each other. To me there is only one way to add something different. NXT's first Hell In A Cell.

Ricochet vs Ciampa soon... me likey Doesnt look like their direction no. They could sneak it into the next tapings. Usually pinning the champ leads to a shot.

Yeah Ciampa was always clearly the little devil on Johnny's shoulder trying to get him to be bad. This still does work even with the main roster stuff. In another thread the rumor is DIY face the Revival at Fastlane for the titles. That happens on the 10th, this episode won't air until the 13th. DIY can lose that match, then they do the NXT angle 3 days later.

So looks like the TakeOver card is:
-Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa (C) -Matt Riddle vs. Punishment Martinez vs. Velveteen Dream (C) vs. Adam Cole -War Raiders (C) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet -Bianca Belair vs. Io Shirai vs. Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler (C) -Keith Lee vs. Dominik Dijakovic
Lots of fresh blood coming up and you can fee a changing of the guard on the way. I like it.

Also Ricochet and possibly Black could be added to the title match since the former pinned Ciampa. Sure would beat the current heel/heel dynamic for that match.

I think the really stupid thing they are probably going to do is have them tag on the main roster for the next few weeks, even though the audience that already knows them also knows they have already turned on each other. They went through the trouble of taping Johnny losing the North American title in a vague manner, but now whatever they do the next few weeks is already inevitably not going to amount to much.

Sounds like Gargano is a face again.

I've already moved on to my hopes for Johnny Gargano's third redemption arc.

Yeah, I really have absolutely no idea why we're supposed to like Gargano at this point. If anything he's arguably worse than Ciampa. At least Ciampa openly admits to being a bastard, Gargano does all the same shit as him but dresses it up in flimsy, "But I'm trying so hard!" justification.
