I really like the women's match buildup in that the Aussie ladies are in the way of the two crazy women.

And the show ended with the two Aussies going,"Asuka is designed to hurt..... :aaa: SHE'S DESIGNED TO HURT! :gonk:"

I've said it before, Sanity's theme is the grimdark remix of Primus's 'My Name is Mud'.

I was kind of apathetic towards Takeover but then I saw the Nakamura/Roode hype video and now I'm on board

Nah he's a midcard heel. His match with Roddy on Saturday should be cool.

They brought him in as a face, which was very close to "DIE ROCKY DIE" awful, but he's been great since turning. If Nakamura retains, I'd bet on Cien to be the next challenger.

Blake and Murphy had an awful match at the NXT house show I went to. It was one of the worst matches I've seen live and I've been to a few Hoodslam events

I expect the women's match to be the best on this show. Still not a huge fan of Royce and Kay but Asuka and Nikki will bring the best out of them. DIY vs Authors of Pain should be good.

I'm interested in Nakamura/Roode just to see if they beat the expectation of a forgettable match.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Almas vs. Roddy could be a great match if it's given time and they are told to go all out. They might do that if it's the first match on the show.

I have no idea what Nakamura-Roode will end up being, I kind of think that it will be a solid match that pales in comparison to every other Takeover main event.

Totally could be, but being there tonight, the crowd was definitely acting like it might be even before he did that. Right after that clip, he started getting "Thank you Joe" chants, posed again on the stage, walked back to the curtain and turned around to look one more time before going back.

Could have been Joe playing along with the crowd that definitely thought that was the case, but also could actually be his last NXT match.

He needs to learn to listen and either develop a character or trust his instincts. I suppose that's why it's developmental but his commentary is really rough. You can see Tom and Corey trying to help him out and throw him lobs so that's nice.

To go "LOOK AT THE NINE HOURS OF WWE PROGRAMMING IN TWO DAYS" honestly if the WWE has a network they should have enough of that programming as possible to get as many eyeballs that are willing to watch all or at least 75% of that.

Yeah I've seen a lot of people talk them up but I just don't see it. They are both completely unconvincing as heels and they're nothing special in the ring. Hopefully they show something tonight.
