Following the collision of worlds, NXT returns to Full Sail as the road to Takeover: Portland kicks off in earnest. As ever, please take a look at discussion rules for this show and AEW Dynamite: officialfan.proboards.com/thread/592137/rules-discussion-weekly-aew-showsThe Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic concludes tonight, as The Broserweights and the Grizzled Young Veterans meet to determine who will challenge The Undisputed ERA for the NXT Tag Team Titles in Portland. There's going to be some sort of British victory, but will it be Zack Gibson and James Drake taking the cup back to Liverpool, or will Pete Dunne assist Matt Riddle in some joint manipulation? The most personal feud in NXT finally reaches the ring tonight, as after two long months, Tegan Nox will get her hands on her former best friend Dakota Kai. As well as the vicious attack at Takeover: WarGames, Kai cost Nox a chance at Rhea Ripley's NXT Championship in the Battle Royal. Nox got a measure of revenge by attacking Kai at Worlds Collide, but now gets the chance to defeat her in the ring. Who ends up on top, or will this merely be the first chapter in a longer story? Following defeat at the hands of Imperium at Worlds Collide, NXT Champion Adam Cole will find out tonight who he's defending the title against in Portland. Will it be Tommaso Ciampa who's long been looking to get Goldie back? Will NXT UK Champion WALTER look to continue the war and claim a second title? Or will it be someone else? Finn B谩lor attacked Johnny Gargano backstage at Worlds Collide, only for Tyler Bate to step in and break it up. B谩lor responded by attacking Trent Seven in the Performance Center car park last night, so he's taken Bate's intervention personally. Will the PRINXE and the b i g s t r o n g b o i collide before B谩lor and Gargano face off in Portland? We have a new NXT Cruiserweight Champion in the Irish Ace Jordan Devlin, who took the title from Angel Garza in a Fatal Four Way Match. Will Devlin be at Full Sail tonight to defend the title? And will Roderick Strong look to take the North American Title back from Keith Lee? All this and much more tonight from 8/7c on USA in the States and BT Sport in the UK and Ireland! |

The ratings on this show should be really telling. The women's division is basically the show's big draw and this is a storyline that hasn't really had any advancement in a couple of months getting a big spotlight put on it. Tonight's ratings really should either hold or improve, but if they backslide then it'd seem like the rise last week was only due to Dynamte being pretaped, which could be a problem for NXT going forward.

I'm still holding out hope this builds to a proper Takeover match, but I'm beyond irritated that Tegan Nox vs. Dakota Kai has devolved into what feels like an afterthough, when it should be THE FEUD in NXT right now, and is on a freaking NXT weekly episode.
The turn was so so so perfect. And everything since has been varying degrees of botch, or just plain stupid booking.
Which is kinda rare for NXT if your name isn't Gargano.

They used a "Superstar at ringside" spot for a brawl between them which NEVER HAPPENS in that spot. They see this as a big program, and I can't see it being concluded tonight. |

Knox vs Kai hasn't had advancement in couple months? Kai was getting W's while Tegan sold the injury and now with Tegan back They have been building this up for the last 3 weeks and it is their biggest womens feud going Ratings won't really be different this week. I expect the same as last week. NXT won't hit their stride again until after Takeover Portland is over but right now is the beginning of no bullshit. They have been on autopilot thanks to the Dusty Classic and WC but now they have nothing but Takeover builds moving forward |

I really hope there is some strange twist to chelsea greens character like Robert Stone represents her but she comes out looking like a total goof because her rep keeps getting her put into unwinnable situations....the rumble was a good start if they were to go down such a route.

Now Asuka coming back to NXT to kill Chelsea that sounds much more pleasent |

Shotzi, Chelsea, Mercedes, and Xia are some people they need to keep on TV in just matches showcasing them as you expect once Mania season is over and NXT losses Bianca, Shayna and maybe Io, they can fill that role |

But NXT may want to keep going with Rhea and where that would leave Io idk. And then u got like u said the future of the NXT women coming together now....with Shotzi , Chelsea , Deonna , Xia etc It is a very interesting but also very quickly approaching transitional period for the NXT women. |

Io is in a weird period right now only because we don't know the extent of her injury and the rumor that she wants to be on the main roster In a sense, if she is injured and isn't being moved to RAW or SD then it is a blessing in disguise because her return pop will be back and you can make her a face being the first challenger after Rhea potentially beats Charlotte However, if she wants to come to RAW or SD then I believe most likely she goes wherever Kairi goes as I believe Asuka will come back to NXT to wind down her career. It all depends tho. Ideally, Bianca goes to SD and by extension so does Street Profits. Shayna goes to RAW |

We are kind of seeing that transition happening now Shayna is all but gone to the main roster Bianca is being preped for it real soon likely to SD beause they desperately need fresh blood Io is the wild card because with the two above gone they need a someone and I like Rhea and I said it she will get better but right now to lead the preverbial ship Io should be that woman because she can do it all and makes every single woman she wrestles better and is ridiculously over and when she returns IMO will be even more.

It all depends tho. Ideally, Bianca goes to SD and by extension so does Street Profits. Shayna goes to RAW Io's injury is to only keep her out for 2 months so that is at worst a severe sprain or a very minor tear so she will be back before Mania but I think they may keep her out untill post Mania because they seemingly have all the big plans for the women ready to go and it would stupid and f***ing useless to bring her back and stick her in a meaningless go nowhere match or feud instead of bringing her back and pushing her right into a title feud. |

It seems like the kind of feud that'll be progressively snowballing for awhile but they've not really hit that next gear on it yet. |
