Gonna go out on a limb and like I mentioned in the NXT thread that Io likely retains against Raquel, with the caveat being that its only if Raquel/Dakota are still a team at that point.

With it being 2 nights I'm very interested how they set up matches for each night and with any matches effectsthe next nights?
KOR/Cole needs to main event one of the nights. Probably night 2 on Peacock to get the money.

If Danny Burch is really hurt after tonight I wonder if they wont have them drop the titles and we get GYV Vs MSK at Takeover for the titles sooner than they probably wanted to.

Stand And Deliver? Wasn't that phrase used by highwaymen?

So since it is two nights I assume the winner of KOR/Cole gets a title shot the next night ala WrestleKingdom

Night 1 is seemingly the end of the Wednesday Night Wars... so it makes sense they go out with a bang before going to Tuesdays.

I think KOR/Cole main events the USA Network half while Balor/Kross main events the Peacock/Network half.

Really hope they go the Wrestle Kingdom both nights are a title match route with this because Kross is just the lamest dude on the planet and it feels like removing the title element of the Cole / O'Reilly thing removes a lot of the intrigue of it.

Iβm sure Johnny Gargano can drag Adam Ant to a 5 star match.

Hope they can quickly get a Kushida feud going in the next three weeks.

Real missed opportunity if night one isn't NXT Takeover Stand and night two isn't NXT Takeover Deliver.

I'm thinking the only titles that could change hands are the NXT Women's title and the NXT Men's title. And even then I'm skeptical of the men's title changing hands with Kross being tied to Drake and his band of stupid moron idiots.
I also think the only real way Io loses the title is if she is main roster bound (which I'll talk about in a little bit). Because I don't see her sticking around on NXT if she loses it, and there is no benefit to her sticking around at that point. And if Io is main roster bound, it'll probably be to Smackdown to challenge whoever is the champion after Wrestlemania. Sasha and Bayley have been pushing for her to be on Smackdown, and assuming Sasha does happen to retain at Wrestlemania, I think she'll lose it soon after.

I am less and less sure Io is losing the title at Takeover Unless Dakota and Raquel break up between now and then which would be a complete injustice to both women because that could be the feud that elevates both women especially Dakota into a top tier babyface. But if they don't then I have to believe that Dakota is gonna cost Raquel the match. But wholely agree if Io loses she is going immediately to SD.....and seeing as Bayley literally has nothing to do right now it is a very easy big time feud to slot her into without throwing her right into the title picture.

Shirai v Gonzalez is official, and will be the main event of Night 1.

Shirai v Gonzalez is official, and will be the main event of Night 1. Cool! I'd be content with a title change here, personally. Io's had a long run and cleared out most of the division, Raquel's got great potential and could do with a title run to gain extra experience before the main roster, plus there's already room for a story with her and Dakota breaking up.

Io becomes the only woman to main event two Takeovers which is very interesting when you remember how long both Asuka and Shaynas reigns were.
