I haven't watched the TV show in months, but I'll be watching Takeover for sure. The women's triple threat, tag team ladder match, and Bate vs. Devlin all sound great.

Scheduled for tonight (based on taping order), as we get closer to finishing the Hull block (and also closer to Takeover Blackpool II)...
*Amir Jordan and Kenny Williams in tag team competition (Jordan's return from injury after being out since April) *Jinny in singles competition *Tyler Bate v Noam Dar
And Trent Seven calls out Eddie Dennis after their recent confrontations.

This week's was just a clip show with no full matches aired, just the big moments from the year (all the title changes, the emergence of WALTER etc.), and short interviews building up Takeover Blackpool 2.

12/19
Good opening tag. Kenny Williams has definitely grow on me. Pretty Deadly finally got to do more and in my opinion impressed.
Like the Seven promo. Dennis I'm still not 100% sold on. The match should be good though.
The UK Women's promo package was really good.
Jinny is fantastic. Wrestling and character wise. Jazzy hasn't really been impressive. She looks less intimidating since Rhea went through NXT UK.
Dar vs. Bate was well excellent..duh lol
Devlin vs. Bate at Takeover could steal the show even with a ladder match on the show.

There's only four matches left from the tapings that haven't aired, so I think they all air tonight, and next week will be a preview show for Takeover:
*Dave Mastiff vs. Kona Reeves *Ligero vs. Kassius Ohno *Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter vs. The Outliers (Dorian Mak & Riddick Moss) *NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH: Ilja Dragunov vs. Alexander Wolfe
There's also a promo with Toni Storm and Piper Niven still to air.

It's the first televised WWE match of the new decade, and it's... Dave Mastiff v Kona Reeves. That'll be a fun trivia note someday.

There's also a promo with Toni Storm and Piper Niven still to air. Or as Joe Coffey just put it on Twitter, "Toni Storm gives it the Big'un".

This new Wrestling Genius gimmick of Ohno's is such hilarious trolling, I love it.

Looks like it may be A-Kid v Joseph Conners and Dave Mastiff v Kassius Ohno on the TV taping at Takeover Blackpool II.

Here are the Facts & Stats for NXT UK (Yes, they are redundant, but who cares): - Dave Mastiff VS Kona Reeves was both Mastiff & Reeves’ 1st NXT UK match & opener of 2019, & Mastiff was the only wrestler to compete on the 1st NXT UK of 2019 & 2020 - Ligero VS Kassius Ohno was both Ligero & Ohno’s 1st NXT UK match of 2020, & though they wrestled each other in 2019, this will not be counted as a re-match since whatever happened in 2019 doesn’t count as the slate is wiped clean in 2020 - Oliver Carter & Ashton Smith VS The Outliers was Carter, Smith, Dorian Mak, & Riddick Moss’ 1st NXT UK match of 2020, the 1st ever Tag Team Match of 2020, & was Smith’s 1st win since he defeated Tucker on NXT UK on October 24, 2018 - Ilja Dragunov VS Alexander Wolfe was the 1st No Disqualification Match of 2020, Dragunov & Wolfe’s 1st NXT UK match & main event of 2020, & again, though it was a re-match, it will not be counted since it happened in 2019 - This was the 1st NXT UK of 2020 to not have a Women’s Match

The Dragunov/Wolfe match had all the weapons shots censored - the picture froze each time a weapon was about to connect with the opponent, and the replays were cut out. At least it didn't pan to someone in a different crowd, or like WCW Worldwide when it aired on Channel 5, superimpose a POW! or WHACK! or something else off the 1960s Batman show.

That match was near perfect. The silhouette brawl, the escalation of brutality, these two go together mike peanut butter and nutella. I'm ok with more of this anytime.

1/2
Liked the cold open with Saint & Scaila announcing Dennis/Seven and Devlin/Bate for Takeover
I can't tell if I like Kona or hate him. He's definitely improved and I kind feel like he could be a good NA contender, but something is missing right?
Toni's promo was real solid and her logic was sound. Piper's response was good too. I liked that it broke into a fight only for KLR to comes out and just stand there being a twat watching her handy work.
Ligero vs. Ohno. Fun match. I really like Ohno's pure wrestling gimmick.
Carter/Smith vs. The Outliers. Fun match. I like Carter and Smith teaming up, I f***ing love The Outliers! There gimmick is pretty much dumb jocks lmao. Elite Athletes, Dumb Humans.
Great hype video for the Ladder match at Takeover. Match is going to rule.
Dragunov vs. Wolfe. Awesome match with great storytelling and nasty but simple spots. I freaking loved the start of the match with the silhouette fighting. Wolfe is amazing with a kendo stick! Dragunov is just so awesome with his intensity. I definitely buy him being the one to beat WALTER.

Toni's promo was real solid and her logic was sound. I'll have to check this out. I love Toni, but I've always thought promos were her weak spot. if she starts getting that part down, it truly will be Toni Time.

Will never forget one time in PROGRESS where she accused Jinny of going to "pirate school" when she meant to say private. Hopefully the UK PC has sat her down to go over promos as much as they have her train in ring.
