Doing this again in the Spoilers thread because it concerns LU Season 3 taping stuff...

StarkRavingMad, iirc, you said Catrina and Ivelisse fought at UL3 over some amulet or something, right? I assume the Amulet Piedra Immortal we saw on LU this week is that amulet?

That, plus the Benefactor's Dr. Claw glove possibly being the Gauntlet fought over at UL3 makes me wonder if the Gauntlet is some kind of "opposite number" to the Amulet, and if the Gauntlet confers some kind of similar power to its wearer...

I think they just fought, I don't really remember an amulet being involved. There was much smashing of bottles from Dario's office. Maybe I'm forgetting something though.

More taping results

quote:

Jack Gallagher def. Noam Dar in the dark match.
Samoa Joe cut a promo to open the first episode, demanding that NXT general manager William Regal strip Shinsuke Nakamura of the NXT Championship under threat of Joe injuring the rest of the roster.
Austin Aries def. Oney Lorcan and then cut a promo calling Hideo Itami out. Itami showed up and predictably, Aries bailed.
Billie Kay def. Aliyah.
Cedric Alexander def. Andrade “Cien” Almas.
William Regal announces that the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic starts tonight! 16 teams, same as last time, and the finals will take place at NXT TakeOver: Toronto. Get hyped!
Tye Dillinger def. Angelo Dawkins.
Bobby Roode then came out to offer Dillinger his tag partnership in the Dusty. Tye accepts and it’s official, Perfectly Glorious are the first tag team entered in the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic!
The Revival (Dash Wilder & Scott Dawson) vs. The Ealy Brothers (Gabriel & Uriel Ealy) is the first first round match of the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Or at least it was supposed to be, because Joe came out and destroyed the Ealy Brothers and told Regal that he has to make a decision if he wants to beatings to end.
Ember Moon def. Mandy Rose
Authors of Pain def. Mr. 450 & Ben Dejo Cruz. Paul Ellering then says the first stage was arrival, the second stage is a plethora of pain, and that’s all we need to know.
Asuka def. Liv Morgan in short order.
Asuka is then interviewed as to who she thinks her next challenger will be, she says nobody is ready for her.
Hideo Itami def. Lince Dorado. After the match, Austin Aries runs down and blindsides Itami, but Hideo manages to fight him off.
Authors of Pain def. Bollywood Boyz in a 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic first round match.
Rich Swann def. Patrick Clark.
Peyton Royce def. Danielle Kamela. Peyton was managed by Billie Kay for this one, so they’re a unit now, presumably.
Dan Matha comes out for a match and Joe destroys him, as promised. Better make your call soon, Mr. Regal.
The Revival def. Andrade “Cien” Almas & Cedric Alexander in a 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic first round match. Andrade turned on Cedric and beat him down after, guess he’s finally feeling Ingobernable.
Sanity (Alexander Wolfe & Sawyer Fulton) def. Perfectly Glorious (Bobby Roode & Tye Dillinger) in a 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic first round match after Bobby Roode takes a walk and leaves Dillinger hanging. Wolfe & Fulton are accompanied by a third man and a woman— the man is Eric Young, their leader, and the woman is Nikki Storm!
Billie Kay def. Liv Morgan with a little bit of help from Peyton Royce.
TM-61 (Nick Miller & Shane Thorne) def. Riddick Moss & Tino Sabbatelli in a 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic first round match.

Taping ended with a tease of Blake vs. Murphy finally but Joe came out and murdered both. Demanded Regal to give him either Nakamura or his title. Nakamura came out in a neckbrace, ripped it off, brawled all over the arena with Joe and then KO'd him with a Kinshasa.

It's gotta be Revival and DIY in the finals, right? With Regal doing the Triple H gimmick from the CWC and declaring it's for the trophy AND the belts? Unless the latter pair lose to... the Authors? Sanity? And that sets off Ciampa's heel turn?

Everyone left is a tag team (Revival, Authors of Pain, TM61, Sanity), so good news!

Since they're the only face team left, seems clear that TM61 is winning and getting a shot at the Revival as a result. Unless the Revival get eliminated in the semis after Ciampa and Gargano get involved and then DIY wins the rematch at Takeover, then I guess one of the other two heel teams could win.

It was a 16 team bracket last year. Did they show a graphic in the building to show it was only 8? There's a month of TV to go and last year they did the semis and finals on the special, so are they just going to leave it hanging for a month?

They didn't show a bracket as far as spoilers go. Wolfe, Fulton, and The Revival have been in both Dusty Classics. I wonder if Big Doz and Tucker Knight will be in the tournament has house show matches.

That would make sense, they teamed for years back in ROH. That would also mean that Roddy's coming into NXT as a heel, which is good news.

about half the Dusty classic is on the main roster now, plus a few guys who left: Enzo and Cass, American Alpha, Corbin & Rhyno (what a team), Vaudevillains, Neville and Solomon Crowe, the Ascension, Tyler Breeze and Bull Dempsey, the Hype Bros, Lucha Dragons, plus Finn

then you got your NXT mid/top card guys - Joe, The Revival, Blake & Murphy, Gargano & Ciampa

then the last 3 teams were NXT jobbers

In hindsight, it's really loving weird that Corbin/Rhyno made the final round.

At least Joe/Finn winning last year made storyline sense, since they just went "hey we're the best wrestlers on this show, let's team up and win that trophy. Also, you owe me one for this Finn, hint hint wink wink I keep slapping your belt which is totally subtle."

There's such a gaping hole in their women's division right now since Bayley left. It's probably too soon for Ember Moon to challenge and the only way I could see anyone posing a challenge to Asuka is if the Aussie girls cheat Asuka out of it. Although that's not the worst idea ever, especially since Asuka's matches with Dana and Emma were pretty much that and really entertaining.

I still think the gimmick is a little too high-concept for someone who's supposed to be a future main roster star, but cool music and a cool finisher will get you far in WWE. I have high hopes for Ember.
