They've already done the "you don't really know these guys but they're super tight from working in some vaguely defined outside promotion" with The Club and for that one angle with Reigns / Usos, it worked. They're not going to mention ROH but it's pretty easy to establish "these guys are a stable".

Fwiw I wouldn't expect a full-on invasion angle (bc they'd never respect ROH enough to mention them in the same breath as their talent) mainly bc any configuration of high card faces is going to be equally as chockablock with guys who are seen as indie acquisitions. A faction battle would get over but the more the faces are identified as "NXT guys" the more dissonance would be created.

I am happy WWE traded Cody Rhodes for Adam Cole, Rush, Dijack, and reDragon.

Based on how he's moving business I feel like the Indies got the best part of the deal.

what's the most matches we've ever had on a takeover card? besides the 3 championship matches, all the rest could be ROH debuts.

No need for spoiler tags here dude.

If there really is an ROH-adjacent faction that pops up, I'd expect it to be an end-of-show beatdown debut

If Hunter's WarGames boner ends with Cole/O'Reilly/Fish/Dijak against Strong/Itami/Ohno/Black at Mania or something like that I will flip the gently caress out.

tbh they could just do this matchup as a Survivor Series tag match at Takeover: Houston? Wouldn't have the same impact, but idk, it'd be cool

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



Good to see Johnny Abs going back to his original Raw gimmick, does he come out to the Impact music too?

It's pretty perfect for the character to be honest. Johnny is basically generic 90's movie bully so a stupid name like that is perfect.
