Looks like Dakota may be getting the jobber treatment tonight. Dunno against who though. Or not! Almas and Black brawled out to the ring, and Black got laid out by Almas with a chair.

I could see Dain winning. I can't imagine Cole wins. Why put a belt on him when the only thing that doesn't suck about him is down a man?

lil bummed dakota kai doesn't get a real match but whenever the official nxt social media tweets about the florida house shows she seems like the most mentioned performer so i hope they're gonna give her something after this takeover, seems like they gotta be high on her, if probably gun-shy to push another sweetheart babyface in our post-bayley world

in a just world billie kay and peyton royce would put her over before they go up

I wouldn't be shocked if she gets destroyed by Shayna before NOLA. Or she'll be Shayna's first victim at Takeover: Chicago (when Shayna becomes champ). I stand by the point that Kairi should be the only one to take the Women's Title from Shayna when its time. :colbert:

Apparently Bourne botched the finish, so they may re-tape this match. She isn't ready for TV, to be honest.

From someone there: "Kairi over Vanessa. Had an awkward moment where Kairi went for the elbow but Vanessa got up and Kairi landed on her feet and just like.. slapped her chest and Vanessa went down. They re-did the spot."

Oh my god :laffo:

Not really a spoiler but still.

Cole and O'Reilly attacked AOP and Dunne/Strong resulting in a no contest. Therefore at Takeover, it will be a triple threat match for the tag titles and the winners will be crowned the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winners as well. :psyduck:

So wait, is Cole doing double duty at Takeover, then? That seems deeply unpleasant.

Did they acknowledge Bobby’s injury at all?

Because if it’s not a several months thing, the booking makes sense to have him just be taken out for the duration of the match or whatever

Yeah they acknowledged it. PWInsider is also reporting that he's going to need surgery. Tapings are done for the evening. As of now, here is the NOLA card. I wouldn't be shocked if they add one more match or something.

quote:

- Andrade Almas vs. Aleister Black for the NXT Title

- Ember Moon vs. Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women’s Championship

- Adam Cole & Kyle O’Reilly vs. Authors of Pain vs. Pete Dunne & Roderick Strong for both the NXT Tag Titles and the Dusty Classic Trophy

- Lars Sullivan vs. Killian Dain vs. Adam Cole vs. EC3 vs. Velveteen Dream vs. Ricochet in a ladder match for the NXT North American Title

I only saw EC3 once, when he showed up to an AIW show after being asked last minute, in order to both fill in for and impersonate Sycho Sid. Glad to see crowds are hot for him at NXT.

I assume Dream takes the midcard belt actually. It reeks of "this kid's so over, but we don't want him in the main event yet, give him a vanity belt". Plus if he throws Ricochet off the ladder before winning, there's an obvious on-screen set-up for their feud.

That is why. He's like a coach/performer there now. Works with the new and/or young guys and then helps get them over on TV.

Although I don't think Adam Cole really needed it.

For Hero this is kind of a dream job. He gets to wrestle his kind of match, impart his vast knowledge (something he likes doing), and gets guaranteed money without having to deal with slimy indie promoters or Vince (directly, anyways).

I mean it's kind of what he was doing in PWG. He was the Indy gatekeeper there. If they wanted a dude to get over and have a great match they would just have them wrestle Hero. He just needs some longer matches at NXT takeover imo.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
If he’s a coach does that mean he’s an actual employee and gets benefits? Cause if so, that’s your answer.
