Zero chance. I am hearing that those two sides are trying to work out an exit deal, part of which entails her working publicity for the WWE2k game and some other stuff like a no compete until after next Mania but I don't entirely trust where it came from so take it with a HUGE grain of salt.

what if the exit deal is her just working in nxt until after mania because it gives them a top tier face, which they are sorely lacking in now that io turned

I think they are hedging their bets on Mia Yim and Candice LeRae, along with Dakota Kai being the top faces on the women's side of the equation. I feel like Io is gonna slot into Shayna's role once she gets called up.

I should mention that's just speculation on my part based on what has happened last night. There is also Street Profits vs Forgotten Sons as well. And that's not exactly a card I would say is super stacked either.

I mean Shayna Baszler vs Mia Yim would probably be the weakest match on the card simply because it'll be ran like every other Shayna match ever, and it would lack a lot of build.

No Joshis are involved so they are bad.

Expect Cole/Gargano to be the direction going by what I know. Possibly another person to that mix too but I am unaware of that.

NXT runs on the same logic as regular roster WWE, feuds should be three big matches in a row.

If I were her I'd take it but that doesn't sound like what either side is looking for. Only thing I know for sure at the moment is she is committed to the 2k game and publicity for that as that seems to be a separate deal from WWE and was done before all of this. WWE is wanting her to do publicity for Smackdown in the Fall as well but there hasn't been any movement there. As of right now she is not wanting to wrestle again for the company and feels she has been taken advantage of time and time again with vague promises that never pan out, which sounds awful familiar.

My gut is that they will ice her until after the AEW TV and Smackdown moves to Fox. They don't want a Lex Lugar surprise on their hands before if they can avoid it. I can see them thinking to let them have her around Christmas to get it out of the way in the dead season to not overshadow the Rumble and the lead into Mania.

They could also be incredibly petty and just try to freeze her indefinitely which I am pretty sure would backfire spectacularly.

What should we do about the main roster feeling bloated and having no time for the undercard? Hm, yes, send a bunch of people back to your shortest show and developmental brand

I wish NXT got 2 hours of TV a week, but if it went live I'd be terrified that it might get noticed by Vince or Dunn

this, but unironically. send them back to NXT so they can live an easier lifestyle, and wrestle good matches. don't put the developmental people on TV if they're bad.

The Florida Loop is the real developmental. At this point NXT is just WWE doing a PWG parody.

Seems like this is setting up Candice vs Io for later in tonight's tapings, or during the tapings before Takeover: Toronto.

to be fair, of these 25 takeovers, only 2 feuds went three shows I think (finn/Joe and gargano/ciampa). maybe 3 or 4 outside of the singles titles.
