I love me some Velveteen Dream but this might be his weakest Takeover match. Hope the two of them prove me wrong tho.

Dream will be fine. EC3 isn’t very good or interesting though.

[Johnny B. Decent]

No one's going to get this reference, but f*** it.

I want Baszler to talk shit to Sane about being a clown and if she can even really fight. And then Sane repeats that and like knocks her out with one punch/immediately locks her in a submission hold and she taps.

Brooklyn IV? I didn't even know Brooklyn was sick!

EC3 has done zero to impress me since his debut. Glad to know I'm not the only one that feels like that

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

So, I saw EC3 vs. Velveteen Dream at a house show about two weeks ago. It was a good match, but nothing to get excited over. Highlight was the crowd switching on and off with VEL-VE-TEEN - E C 3 chants, so the best bet is for them to work the crowd heavy.

That EC3/Dream segment on NXT tonight was weird. I've never been much for Ethan anyway, hopefully this match is fairly unoffensive and we can just move on.

FWIW, they announced Black vs. Ciampa vs. Gargano for the NXT Title on tonight's episode, but that likely gets altered due to Black sustaining an injury during a house show.

Simple solution... Black’s injured, yeah? Have Ciampa be all arrogant and say he’ll only defend the belt in the type of match it was signed as (triple threat) because he’s a “fighting champion” (but really because he doesn’t want Gargano one-on-one), and have a battle royal on the Florida loop for the last spot. That way the storyline can go on as close to as regularly scheduled as possible.

looks like they just wrote Black out of Takeover. He's expected to be out of action for several months.

Just missing Kevin Owens casually strolling by to say "That's such a shame."

Love that they made it a mystery with the who dun it? Johnny or Era. Another reason why NXT is the best.

Let's hope Aleister is actually back this time around so they can pay it off. Poor Hideo was out so long all of his suspects were on the main roster for his mystery assault.

And wasn't that Heavy Machinery (or at least Tucker Knight) taking a selfie while the refs and Regal were there?

Yeah looked like him and Otis were filming one of their phone promos, maybe the caught something!

Sorry for the double post. I was thinking and Lars would be a good reveal as the attacker. Black broke his jaw and we haven't seen him since. So if Black is only out like 1 set of tapings they could easily do that.

I'd like that much more than the other "whodunnit" options.

Yeah, I don't really want to see Gargano go full heel, and Era would seem much more likely to boast about injuring Aleister as opposed to keeping it underwraps.
