I think I’m legitimately only going to turn on for Cole/McAfee. We’ll see if I change my tune as the show draws closer, but between dream existing and the rest of the card being very underwhelming my hype level is at a near-zero.

Got a big old who gives a shit regarding this show. Already had minimal interest to begin with and R. Kelly Jr being given a title shot is just the cherry on top.

As much as I'm liking the Lee/Kross build, neither of them should lose right now.
I don't know what the best way to protect them both would be. Probably should have put the feud off by a few months.

I'm going to watch, but this is the least excited or interested I've ever been for a Takeover. If this sucks, they might not be must watch wrestling for me anymore.

Most excited for McAfee - Cole. Shirai and Kai will tear it up. Ditto Balor and Thatcher. Ladder match should be crazy (and hopefully Dream does not win and/or is written out).
Curious to see how Kross handles a big-time main event as I’ve not seen much of his work.

She mastered water now she masters fire....next up mastery of earth bending. I am hyped for this show and much more interested in the outcomes than I am really anything about SummerSlam. Cole and McAfee is intriguiging in alot of ways and the outcome will really lay the future foundation of UE and what they do from here on out. Kross and Keith has had a great build and both guys are gonna just brutalize the other and with the outcome up in the air creates a real intriguiging match IMO. Io and Dakota just wanna watch them tear it up...Io always at the top of her game and Dakota should get the chance to really elevate her stock tonight.....sorry team kick it is gonna be another night for you to kick rocks instead hahaha because AND STILL YOUR NXT WOMENS CHAMPION!. The ladder match should be one giant fun car wreck nothing more nothing less. As for picks The british finger bros sabertooth Thatcher Io Shirai Keith Lee Priest Cole

Still don't know if I'm going to watch yet, but my predictions:
NXT Championship Match: Keith Lee (c) v Karrion Kross
NXT Women’s Championship Match: Io Shirai (c) v Dakota Kai
Adam Cole v Pat McAfee (Roderick Strong turns on Cole)
Ladder Match for the NXT North American Championship: Bronson Reed v Cameron Grimes v Damian Priest v Johnny Gargano v [REDACTED]
Finn Balor v Timothy Thatcher -
Breezango v Legado Del Fantasma v Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch (Pre-Show Match)
With Lee vs. Kross, I'm leaning towards Kross winning the title but I can see it going to a no contest. I could also see Dijak showing up to attack Kross, leading to problems between him and Lee and a triple threat match at the next Takeover.

Honestly, even if Dream was nowhere near this I would be giving this a hard pass. Might be the weakest Takeover card ever.

Corey Graves will be in the booth tonight Oh, God. Makes sense since it's an anniversary show and he's a part of NXT's history, but *Kacy Catanzaro thumbs down*
