The tag match will absolutely be a banger... just two teams that I don’t at all care about. The War Raiders are so cheesy they make post-callup Ascension blush, and BlackOchet shouldn’t be a team. ****+ star match in the making though.
Excited to see my first ever WALTER match. Sad to (probably) see Pete Dunne’s Title run end. Hopefully he moves to NXT Proper? Is he still based in the UK? Anyone know his situation?
Dream/Riddle... I can’t stand Riddle and I’m not nearly as sold on Dream as others. Kind of a wait and see thing here.
As long as Kairi doesn’t win I’ll be happy with the woman’s match. Shayna needs a call-up on the RAW after WrestleMania.
So sad Gargano isn’t going to finally slay Ciampa to win his NXT Title. It was a long meandering convoluted road, but I thought it was finally going to happen... but alas, it was not meant to be. This match will be incredible.
Overall it seems like a pretty good takeover. Not quite amazing, but those have been the best shows. Should be a fun night.

See, with me not being all that hyped for the show, the thing is...
All of these matches on paper sound very good (well, I guess, I know f***-all about WALTER) and I'm absolutely watching it, probably going to really enjoy myself since I absolutely see this delivering, but in terms of booking this show just feels so slapdash. Dunne's facing WALTER here because we needed an extra match for Takeover, we have no other options, and screw you if you don't follow the otherwise basically unrelated spinoff. Black and Ricochet are challenging for the tag belts because Undisputed Era's been done to death and them aside NXT's tag division is nonexistent. Women's match is just cramming everyone prominent in there. Dream's facing Riddle because the two of them are basically the entirety of the upper midcard. Cole's getting a title shot because Ciampa's hurt and he won a random throw-together. Gargano's getting a title shot for literally no reason. Gargano's face now also for literally no reason.
I realize that between Ciampa's injury and the main roster pillaging NXT's been picked pretty clean right now, and really that they can assemble a card this strong in spite of that is kind of a testament, but it just makes this show feel completely uninspired with how, "Uh, I dunno, we'll do this," the whole thing is.

WWE Network has sent we a ton of emails begging me to comeback but its usually an offer of 1 free month or 0.99 for a month but yesterday they sent my an offer of 3 months free plus a 4th month for 0.99 so I took it cause I really want to see Cole vs Gargano.
One thing I found odd was when I was subscribed I got their fan surveys and the 1st question was always are you currently subscribed to the network but since I cancelled I haven’t gotten a single one and to me that’s dumb because to me a former subscriber who decided to cancels opinion is very valuable.

Now that KUSHIDA is officially signed with NXT, expect him to be the “new signee in the crowd” shot tonight.
