Aren't they doing an 8 man tournament for Murphy's Mania preshow opponent? Possibly featuring Kushida?

Apparently Kushida is going to be a part of NXT now? Dave said WWE plans to have him debut at Takeover: New York apparently.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I imagine Vince stealing the entire NXT main event roster is part of this

Here are NXT spoilers, by the way.


Takeover: New York's card looks like the following (so far) if we are going by the spoilers:

NXT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa vs Johnny Gargano


How do the call-ups play into this? Since both guys are on the main roster is the winner going to do double duty?

I’m wondering that too. It seems like it would undercut Gargano both story wise and as a performer too much to have him lose it with his first defence like he did with the NA belt. But I also feel like Gargano can’t lose this match as the climax to the DIY story.

Maybe they have him immediately relinquish the belt and have taking the title from Ciampa be a symbolic victory? Like Gargano doesn’t need to be champ, he just needs Ciampa to lose it.

I obtained this title through beard tax.

Garbago wins, immediately declares the NXT championship to have 24/7 hardcore title/ironmanheavymetalweight rules and gets pinned by the Bugez ten seconds later, problem solved, everyone happy

This is actually the only Triple H match I'd want to see because Batista has been asking forever to have it to conclude his career story arc and he should get it.

Out of the 4 that left only Ricochet isn't overdue, although for me that's because I find Garbago the worst and don't really care about Black or Ciampa's characters. Ricochet does still seem to need a lot of work on his character/promo stuff though so I don't really get why he was put up, I don't really know what he is other than a 'superhero', which if you've read any comics tends not to be the defining feature of any of the superheroes

NXT doesn't develop characters or promos, dummy.

I genuinely think Dave will shut down Hunter's 3 hour epic plans and want to just do a 12-20 minute match. Which is about the amount of stuff Trips plans for those 45 minute slogs, so it might be OK.

Nope, I'm not even sure DIY are on the main roster anymore.

But the KO thing certainly looks like Kofi's getting a title shot at WM, and very possibly the belt.

I didn't know what it was exactly so I didn't. Just that it was just as Sean Ross Sapp said it was formatted on the format sheet the way they do surprises. Hence why I posted expect another surprise.
