Roode v Dillenger, Nakamura v Joe 2, Asuka v James, Tag Classic Finals... yeah.

Basic Logic would indicate that we're going to get Revival vs DIY 3 for the tag straps. We might also get some kind of resolution for the Liv v Aussie Mean Girls feud? Probably a tag match with Liv pairing with Ember Moon.

I mean, they have a lot of pieces to play with. Sanity, Aries, Roddy and Almas are all in play. If they have a sweet debut in the wings, now would be a good time to do it by matching up against one of them. Preferably Aries, the others probably can't afford a high-profile loss since they're just starting to get heel momentum.

I don't read spoilers so I wouldn't know if Cedric Alexander and "Cien" Almas resolved things at a taping but that match could tear the house down as an opener.

His glee when he realized they were going up against AoP was hilarious.

Speaking of, TM61 are going to beat them in the finals, aren't they? It's clear AoP are going to eat a loss soon since we're getting actual matches out of them and not squashes, but Tm61 seem like kind of an odd choice. I guess they are the #2 face team though...

The situation with Io Shirai and Kairi Hojo reported here originally, where both were contacted by WWE and told the Stardom office they were going to leave around the spring of 2017, has changed again. Shirai, whose leaving was believed to have been a definite the way she told the company, is reconsidering. Hojo, who had gone back-and-forth on the decision before last week saying she was going, is also reconsidering. Both received new offers to stay and are thinking that they have sure things in their home country if they stay, and if they leave, it’s a shot in the dark and uncertainty.

Liv should not be anywhere near the main roster. I have seen nothing impressive from her whatsoever, and her gimmick is Carmella Lite.

That is both disappointing and not disappointing.

16 new posts? Must be a new NXT episode. Or a very minor piece of Observer gossip!

I feel like, honestly, what's needed is Andrade in the main event. Roode's not doing it for me in terms of anything but comedy segments. Plus it would stir a little faith in the show's ability to take chances. I just want to feel like NXT's moment hasn't passed.

How were Andrade's matches with Nakamura in NJPW? Putting him in the main event now would mean a feud where Nakamura is doing all of the talking though.

I heard a rumor that Ellering is the only one who had a surviving copy of the Last Battle of Atlanta. If so, it's probably not a coincidence he got a role on NXT TV right around the time the Network finally released footage of that match.

That rules. Ellering is so cool.

Also, a bit left field, but do we know if they are airing the NXT Osaka show next month? I figure they will because Itami said in his injury announcement he'd be returning at it and they aired the show last year with Finn vs KO, but I'm not sure.
