So are they doing heel vs heel or turning Bianca face?

If WWE has any intelligence at all, they'll make the match either Shayna/Io, or a triple threat (Shayna/Bianca/Kairi or Io). If they straight up do Shayna/Bianca, I will find it drat near impossible to care about the match.

Belair's undefeated streak on the line would make me interested and her and Shayna's cockiness against each other would also be interesting to see.

If that's the 4way, where does that leave Kairi?

She's apparently not at these tapings tonight. I imagine she won't return until the January tapings or soon after Takeover: Phoenix.

I think the issue I have with Shayna matches that I can't get over is that she works best when she's facing an underdog babyface. Those tend to be her most interesting matches (even if most of them are squashes). Bianca is the polar opposite of an underdog. And also not a babyface. Regardless, I do think Bianca is losing at Takeover: Phoenix.

I hope the plan is just to put the Kairi/Shayna feud on the backburner for a bit (which seems to be the plan if what was indicated on tonight's episode of NXT happens), and fire it back up after Takeover: Phoenix. Because there were some people tired of them hogging the spotlight, so I figure if they get Bianca's title shot out of the way, Io or Kairi would be next in line for a title shot at Takeover: New York.

I mean he’ll come off that way himself unless they found a way for him to never talk. It’s probably better to just play into it and let it burn out.

I am seriously grumpy that (presumably) Kairi's sudden illness is robbing me of getting to see her wrestle live at Takeover and (also presumably) win the title.

That being said Heel Turn Johnny has me very intruiged, because this could mean Velveteen Dream is going to team up with Black. OR A FATAL FOURWAY FOR THE BELT! :O

Isn't this Gargano-Ciampa just some long term booking? I thought we were all fans of long term booking? I wonder if Sane-Baszler will grind people the wrong way as this feud has.

Match quality tends to carry even the dumb NXT to being watchable. But I will say NXT is feeling more and more like "Just watch Takeovers" is good advice.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
It's been a long time since I've recommended watching NXT weekly TV, but I'd never tell anyone to skip out on a Takeover.

The feud between Shayna and Kairi isn't over yet. And there is another set of tapings between now and Phoenix. There are a whole lotta people not excited for a Shayna/Bianca feud because both are arrogant rear end in a top hat heels that you aren't supposed to like, combined with the fact that Bianca won the fatal four way in a fairly dirty fashion.

I dunno , most of the people I've talked to about Sane/Baszler has said that all of the matches have been good but we don't really need match number 6 or 7 or however many it is now.

I want good booking. Gargano getting his cathartic victory and breaking a losing streak of like five takeovers only to turn into an incompetent moron and go right back to losing every big match sucks. I get that the payoff is that he rediscovers Johnny Wrestling and vanquishes Ciampa but after all this crap I don't care anymore. He was my favorite thing in the company and now I just don't care anymore. Black's reign getting killed by this feud sucked too.

Also after the finishes to those Street Fight and LMS matches I don't even have any faith in the Takeovers anymore. This feud basically killed my interest in NXT.
