This week's NXT is pretty loaded, with two title matches and a big debut. As ever, forum discussion rules for this show and AEW Dynamite are on the WWE section of the board.
The title match WWE are pushing the most is for the NXT Women's Title, as Charlotte Flair makes the first defence of her second reign against Io Shirai. The Genius of the Sky won the big ladder match a few weeks ago to get the shot, and although Flair has continued winning since claiming the title from Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36, she only just competed on Monday night on RAW where Liv Morgan gave her some problems. No offence to Liv, but these will be issues that Shirai can take advantage of. Will we get a new Women's Champion tonight?
Also tonight, The Velveteen Dream finally gets his shot at Adam Cole and the NXT Championship. This one's not been as widely promoted, given the accusations out there against Dream (DO NOT USE THIS THREAD TO DISCUSS THEM) - will Cole retain, or will Dream reach the top tonight?
Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae have made their ambitions clear to become the first married couple to hold the NXT men's and women's championships at the same time, and Candice made her first step towards that goal last week. A larger road block has come Johnny's way, as tonight, Gargano goes one on one with Dominik Dijakovic. Will Dijakovic score a huge win over a former NXT Champion, or will Gargano clear a major hurdle enroute to getting the title back?
The dangerous Karrion Kross and his chanteuse Scarlett make their in-ring debuts tonight - Kross had been stalking the rivalry between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, and a couple of weeks ago Kross pounced, taking out Ciampa. Who will be first in line for this dangerous duo?
Finn Bálor was due to face Velveteen Dream a couple of weeks ago, but he was attacked and could not make the match. Tonight, the PRINXE looks to find out who attacked him - will we get answers tonight?
All this and much more tonight from 8/7c on USA in the States and BT Sport in the UK and Ireland!

A nice visual summary of me during that womens title match tonight followed by whatever gif fits the end result. Oh and there is surely to be a thread either way as well. It shall all result in calm , collected peaceful discussion.

Shit is going to blow over if Charlotte beats Io. I can't and won't defend that. No don't take it as opportunity to personally attack Charlotte cause some of y'all odee petty. My blame is going to lie on management, Vince. If Charlotte wins, the dark days of Vince having some control over NXT is here
No way VD is winning and they need to pivot to Cole next feud without haste
Gargano hasn't had a Takeover style match in a while and Dijak is the perfect guy to have it with
Kross is here. Big hype on this man and been wanting him in NXT for a min. Him and Scarlett as an act is going to get over big time

I'm torn on the Cole / Dream thing in that I really can't think of any reason whatsoever to put the belt on Dream and he really just hasn't been the same at all since returning, but I have no clue where Cole could possibly go next as champion, especially with the best option to beat him presently holding the useless red belt.
Really Cole should've just lost it to Ciampa.
As for Charlotte / Io... Yeah, that needs to be a title change. I can see how they arrived at the Charlotte as champion thing but it is clear at day that this is just plain not working.

Any guesses if WWE will try to cover more of Scarlett's attires or let her be? e: Hold on a second! Scarlett's been wrestling against Nia Jax in 2016!?!

Considering Finn is more in Twenner mode they might as well go there tho as said last week they overthought it by not putting Priest over Lee Lee could won the NXT title in the next month and be champ for the Summer

Like, if Shirai doesn’t win here, it’s not even a matter of “FLAIR BURYING ALL THE WOMEN”... there’s just nobody else built up to Shirai’s level right now. And even THAT build up took many months to happen. If Flair retains, she’s in for the long haul while they build up the next challenger.
And I fear there’d be a lot of resentment for that woman because they’re not Shirai.

And even THAT build up took many months to happen. If Flair retains, she’s in for the long haul while they build up the next challenger. If Flair wins it is the worst case scenario of Vince having control Charlotte in NXT having banger matches works but she doesn't need to be champ nor does she need to beat your top two women stars who were built up to face each other in a big match It would really put a crunch on the women with a Io L here. Bianca is gone. Rhea is still out. Io is now back of the line if she losses. Shayna is gone. That leaves you with your newer acts like Chelsea and Shotzi to build up. Tegan needs a shot in the arm and Kai makes no sense to face Charlotte. Same with newly heel Candice

Said already multiple times...if Io loses tonight regardless of how it is done if she does not win the title every other woman is going to suffer for it because they are not Io.
I know WWE is stupidly prone to repeating stupid mistakes over and over and over and over and over....and over but even HHH has to have gawd damn bought a clue sees Daniel Bryan WM30 build all over again.
But like other captain has said if Charlotte wins then it will show just how much Vince is now influencing NXT if you believe reports that Charlotte in NXT has been all his idea from the start.

I hate it, but Charlotte’s winning. There’s no way her being dismissive of NXT story ends with her first challenger. She wins, shrieks “I TOldddd YOuuuuuu ALLllll” wins against a few more poor saps, and eventually loses it back to a triumphant Rhea Ripley months down the line.

Yeah, she worked an enhancement match, under the gimmick of “Sasha Banks fan”. And she got heat with some ROH women for daring to work for WWE. Those same women had also made appearances for WWE.

Since there aren’t any fans in attendance I don’t think that they really care about the optics. Then again, even post-Bryan there still had to be a groundswell for Kofi to even get a shot, so I think that they just don’t care about optics. They have their favorites and if you’re not one of them you’re done. Charlotte is winning. To me Asuka is the most complete woman that they have and she tapped out and told Charlotte that she was better than her to end an undefeated streak, no way does Io have a chance here. Besides, the booking of Asuka, Kairi, and Nakamura doesn’t have me hopeful for any of the Japanese contingent going forward.
