Venomous posted:like, Gargano/Roode kinda makes sense, considering #DIY got Roode over with the Gloriousbombs and all that. If Gargano were to win, they could do the Gargano/Ciampa feud somewhere along the line with a heel Ciampa on the logic that 'you abandoned me, you went for singles gold and glory without me, so now I'm going to destroy you', but I agree that they're probably just gonna do something with some indie dude or something like that. I don't think they're gonna do a feud based entirely off of internet jokes, but admittedly it would be a more compelling story than NXT has done in awhile. Tbh if I were booking I'd have Tye overcome his Takeover losing streak to get the belt off Roode, even if it'd be a rehash of Sami's story.

I mean you could set it up like Gargano tries to tweet a Gloriousbomb on his own, then Roode comes out and he's like, nope, gently caress this poo poo, and he just beats the poo poo out of Gargano. But yeah, I kinda think Tye should've been on the main roster ages ago, but an NXT championship run wouldn't do him any harm. Actually, considering there'd be endless 'TEN' chants at every single show from then on because Tye's getting some attention, and they really don't want that chant getting over organically, it'd probably do him a bit of harm in the long run.

I'm pretty sure once DIY is broken up, and they have their NXT singles feud, they're going to 205 Live.

If you don't want Billie and Peyton to LayCool the belt then you can get out

They are grooming Peyton to be the Champion later this year. A fun minor note is that Shawn Michaels & Undertaker were in attendance at the PC during Io Shirai's tryout.

If Peyton is going to be Champion, she needs a better theme. https://youtu.be/l8ca54qrUnM I mean, this is fine for a midcard heel, but a champion needs something a bit tougher. So, what does that mean for Asuka, then? I assume she's going up, as there's nothing much left for her to do in NXT, besides fight some of the indie favorites.

I can see Asuka getting called up after Mania (or even entering the Smackdown Womens Title match), because of the "there is no competition left in NXT" thing, and besides Ember, there is no one who is even remotely credible enough to face her. Have her show up on the RAW or Smackdown after Mania, and in exchange for vacating her NXT title, give her a RAW or SD Women's Title match, so she can continue her reign of terror on the main roster, until she breaks the streak. Because WWE will want to exploit that for ratings if at all possible. As for the NXT Womens Title, they could use the upcoming Womens Tournament to put the belt on someone.

A couple of weeks ago Ember's finisher injured Billie Kay. She'll be shooting on Asuka at Takeover.

Not to mention the ton of indie talent that was just signed that could just Kassius Ohno their way into the main event. There's a good division bubbling under the surface here, and I'm actually pretty positive on the directions it can go the rest of the year.

I haven't been keeping up with the card, looks like the only other announced matches are Nakamura/Roode, Asuka/Ember Moon, and the tag triple threat (hell yes). who else do we think is getting the remaining slot? since it's not on wikipedia I assume it's not obvious from spoilers? So seems like the last episode of the taping next week is Heavy Machinery debuting and Ohno/Drifter loser leaves town, that's pretty rad oh and Allister Black's debut is gonna be against Cien, hell yeah oh poo poo Ruby Riot! this episode fuckin ruled and reminded me NXT's undercard is still pretty awesome tbh abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Mar 23, 2017 |

achillesforever6 posted:https://twitter.com/JustinLaBar/status/844950984531087360 None of that is especially contingent on age or even experience though. Let's be real, Roode spent 90% of his career in TNA, which is almost anti-experience for WWE. I'd way sooner accept ROH, NJPW, or basically any other indie as viable WWE-transferrable experience than TNA. Maybe I'm burying TNA too much, but TNA has basically never had bigtime shows or even shows that FELT big. poo poo at least other promotions regularly run Mania weekend shows which would at least put you in front of WWE-ish crowds. I bought AJ coming right in at the Rumble. Because he's AJ loving Styles. Roode was TNA's champ for like a year but if he came in like that I'd be like "really"? Besides, for all we know "polish" could be codespeak for "We're exposing this guy to more of our fans so he gets over and doesn't die a death on the main roster" but they do't want to phrase it like that. AJ worked because he's AJ AND I firmly believe the ROH/NJPW sojourn got him more valuable experience in WWE terms than a lot of his TNA run. Think of the character work involved in Bullet Club as opposed to say, Fortune in TNA and you'll see what I mean.
