NXT is live NOT FROM FULL SAIL, but for the first time on cable television from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. As ever, forum discussion rules for this show and AEW Dynamite are on the WWE section of the board.
There's two title matches at the PC this week. First up, it's a rematch from Takeover: Portland, as The Broserweights of Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne defend the NXT Tag Team Championship against former champions Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly of the Undisputed ERA. Fish and O'Reilly believe their loss was a fluke and want their titles back, and that's not the only pressure Dunne and Riddle face, as the Grizzled Young Veterans are breathing down their necks as well. Can the Broserweights survive with the titles?
Keith Lee is putting the North American Title on the line tonight as well, with Cameron Grimes stepping up to challenge the big man. Grimes took the scalp of Dominik Dijakovic (albeit with help from Damian Priest), and now he wants to go a step further and take the North American Title from Lee, can he pull off the massive upset?
Velveteen Dream has set his target firmly on Adam Cole and the NXT Championship, having sacrificed his Steel Cage Match with Roderick Strong to get Cole alone in the ring for an attack. Cole is not obliged to defend the title against Dream, but will he want the match with him as a response to the attack?
Last week, Johnny Gargano ducked Mauro Ranallo's main question regarding his betrayal of Tommaso Ciampa at Takeover: Portland, calling Ranallo a liar, and declaring he will do things "his way" this week. What's in store for the Psycho Killer inside the Performance Center?
There's several questions in the women's division - will Charlotte Flair seek a revenge attack on NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley? Will Tegan Nox seek an equaliser to deal with Raquel Gonzalez getting in her business with Dakota Kai? Who will join Chelsea Green in the Number One Contenders Ladder Match at Takeover: Tampa Bay?
All this and much more tonight from 8/7c (Midnight in the UK for the next three weeks) on USA in the States and BT Sport in the UK and Ireland!

Said after last weeks show they have been slowly climbing back to their pre-filler quality week to week in which they aren't there yet but show to show it has been getting better and better...but idk what to expect with this show.
Not being at fullsail are they just gonna do nothing but matches so as to save all their real story progression for when they return next week to fullsail, just choices like this intrigue me about how they go about this show.
And Dakota Vs Mia....well either this is Teagan costing Dakota the match setting up 1 more match at Takeover or Dakota wins and it means Teagan is also going to qualify.

I'll probably skip this to watch Dynamite. When you put two cages matches on and the show still sucks, it's time to watch something else.

I think the card for Takeover: Tampa looks pretty full with: -Cole/Dream -Lee/Dijakovic/Priest/Strong? -Broserweights/GYV/UE? -Balor/WALTER -Gargano/Ciampa -#1 Contender Women's ladder match So, I'm gonna go with both Dakota and Tegan qualifying for the ladder match.

You could be right but that seems less than what would be expected for a Mania weekend TakeOver seeing as New York last year had 8 matches and two of them were womens matches , so still very likely that they could fit the blow off to Tegan and Kai on the card.

Takeover: NY last year was 5 matches like always with: -Gargano/Cole -War Raiders/Blackochet -Dream/Riddle -Baszler/Sane/Shirai/Belair -Dunne/WALTER The other matches you were talking about were pre-taped for NXT TV that week that would air alongside highlights of the Takeover matches, which are no longer the case anymore.

Part of me was hoping there'd be no fans in the PC for this episode, just because of how hilarious it would've been to see do their entrances without them around.

It looks smaller but it's not bad. Reminds me of better ROH days.

I know Cameron Grimes doesn't have the coronavirus, but they should quarantine him anyway.

The RA should refuse to introduce Grimes.
