So wait Fastlane is a smackdown shown? They're seriously going from October to April with no raw brand PPVs?

Also that five way sounds cool as poo poo.

Can't have Brock only defend titles on PPVs if you don't have any PPVs, guy_pointing_at_head_meme.gif.

What about "heel champ walks out/intentionally gets DQed"?

They've only done that like once or twice in the last year on PPV.

I thought it was more but yeah I think it was only Alexa at GBoF and Usos at MitB.

What about "Shmuck jumps on the apron and everybody in the country is distracted by it, heel rolls up/hits their finisher."

I'd guess it's supposed to be a rah-rah "I'm a veteran, support r troops" promo, but something about Evans rubs me the wrong way so I can see how that could easily turn into a "love it or leave it" style dogwhistle.

Probably something re: arabs, bc Aaliyah.

One thing I actually wonder about: At tapings, do they use "commercial breaks" to generate heat like at live RAWs and the like? I know they do the standard "guy falls out of the ring, cut to black" but I didn't know if they killed time. When I went to see RAW they took a break in the middle of a DBry / Christian match (this was awhile ago) for Christian to get on the mic and run down our local sports team. I know they used to have guys run the ropes endlessly to entertain the crowd, too.

Honestly, they're doing right by Dream just by letting him work with guys like Ohno, Gargano and Black. If he's not good after that, he's a lost cause, and thankfully, all signs point to him being quite capable of learning.

I think after the Black/Dream program they've got a lot of confidence in him. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a title reign this year at some point.

It's cases like this that make a decent argument for a midcard singles title on nxt

I hold out hope that he'd get a tag title reign with Aleister but the tag titles are the midcard belts and Black is main event

Any time Aleister Black isn't in the main event title scene people should be asking "Where's Aleister?!"

They're kinda using the UK title as the midcard belt on NXT while they pretend the UK show is still happening.

No Kairi no buys. :colbert:

Seriously though I cannot get over how dumb it is that Shayna gets a title shot this quickly.

I have a REALLY bad feeling that they are going to book her similarly to Brock Lesnar and have her bury the womens division in glorified squash matches for awhile. And it will be absolutely terrible if that is the case.

Lack of kairi or sanity matches tonight was a bummer but the rest was really good. Johnny/velveteen is both amazing and now the match i'm gonna be comparing everything else I get to see live this year to; the atmosphere was incredible

My friends had fun and bought hard into the main, and even though they're pissed velveteen lost, they are gonna grab a free month and watch takeover in a couple weeks
