NXT Takeover: Night of Champions? Should be a fun show, although nothings strikes me as must-see. I'm sure every match will be fantastic, but that's not a surprise at this point lol Dunne vs WALTER is not must see? I have questions For me it mostly isn't just because I have virtually no clue who the hell WALTER is beyond, "The UK version of the, 'Look, it's Famous Indy Name!' NXT cliche."

Are they really going to make Ricochet and Black wrestle Takeover and WM? They wrestle Raw and SD weekly so why not

I love Dunne, but I've never seen WALTER before. Not saying it won't be a great match or that others shouldn't be excited for it. I'm just no more hyped for that than any other match on the show.

Triple H flogging the NXT writing crew every week to book The Forgotten Sons at all costs Considering their leader was once known as "F***ing Gunner", what did you expect?

Unfortunately Chelsea Green broke her wrist during the dark match...but she still finished the match and won.
So basically she’s a badass.

That said, I feel like she was unlikely to have any presence on TV until any possible return of the Mae Young Classic (if they are doing another one this year), so hopefully she’ll be healed up quickly.

I can’t believe they’re treating Gargano like a total face. He’s done NOTHING to redeem himself.
Goodness gracious

Goodness gracious For that matter, dude's most recent singles moments were losing to Black and shortly thereafter losing to Dream, and yet the two of them have to fight for a chance at the title while Gargano is just handed it.

Ricochet also pinned Ciampa in their tag match, so he's another guy who's got more claim for the title than Johnny. This recent Gargano story has been main roster quality writing in the worst possible way.

Let’s see, he is... was undefeated in his entire NXT TV run until this #1 Contender match that Cole won. Hm, that’s... not helping Gargano’s cause either.

I don't get why they couldn't just have Gargano qualify for the NXT title match. They hadn't even announced the match on NXT TV yet.

So I guess we’re left with the two most underserving guys getting the title match... Balances things out I guess.

Dang it, sorry to rain on everyone’s parade about Brennan finally making it onto TV but according to him, it was a dark match...
Well the fact that they are even having him wrestle at all at the taping has to mean he’s getting close right? They’ve been using him a lot in the Florida loop of the NXT live shows and even had him hitch along for some lengths of the main roster’s tour.
Edit: And silly as it is, his “Sultan of Sit” gimmick has been getting a lot of positive fan reactions.

Holy hell that Takeover New York card is LIT. I was so bummed over Ciampa's injury but so stoked to see Adam Cole step in. Whoever loses that match is getting called up with Ricochet & Black I'm guessing. This Takeover seems like a last hurrah for this generation of NXT, in my opinion the best period it's had (From Takeover Brooklyn 2017 to now). Are they really going to make Ricochet and Black wrestle Takeover and WM? I mean, Takeover and Wrestlemania are 2 days apart this year, not back to back. Also, I rememeber at least 1 other occasion of double duty NXT & WWE: Kevin Owens wrestled Takeover Brooklyn and Summerslam the next night in 2015

Kinda surprised no Bugenhagen, but I'm guessing they're gonna put more focus on him after Takeover

Goodness gracious That and his and Candice's smug as hell grins while standing over Ciampa's body on NXT last night. I get that Ciampa is evil~ and yada yada, but it just looks so poorly, especially knowing it was after that that Ciampa went from "toughing it out til Mania" to "not cleared and needing surgery ASAP"... Blech.

Now he’s back to being a happy go lucky never say die babyface despite the face that he tried to end the career of a totally innocent man a handful of months ago.

Blech. The wording for the WWE app’s alert makes it sound rather heelish, too: “NXT: #DIY imploded as Johnny Gargano assaulted Tommaso Ciampa on the entrance stage after the duo lost to Ricochet & Black.”
