Maybe with Brock up in the air, they want Hogan to be there to help Smackdown with the ratings once it goes to Fox?

Another change in a betting market:

Carmella is now at +120 (from -115)

That is a pretty massive swing from earlier, meaning its pretty likely Ziggler wins tonight. :smith:

I dunno why, but I have a feeling Shayna is going to retain at Brooklyn, just so WWE can crown Johnny and Candice champs on the same Takeover show. Which would be outstandingly stupid, considering knowing Vince, he'll put Candice and Johnny on different brands when they are called up.

I think that actually makes it a really good idea because it's basically the only time Johnny and Candace will be able to have that moment together.

Problem is, Johnny is probably never going to get a moment on the main roster. Vince will see that he's short, and either throw him on 205 Live or he'll be a midcard talent. Or fed to Roman in an attempt to get him over.

Which....again, makes it the best idea to give him (and Candace) their moment on an NXT Takeover, since both of them are gonna immediately be Just Another Guy/Girled on the main roster? Right?

Perhaps, but it shouldn't come at the cost of the rest of the division either. That's my issue here. Is that the Gargano/Ciampa feud may leak into other feuds and ruin other stars momentum. It also will probably assassinate Candice's character, because right now she's just seen as the wife of Johnny Gargano. And they should be moving away from that.

The only point working against that theory right now is that Shayna Baszler beat Candice during the tapings tonight, and then attacked her some more before Kairi made the save (only to get blindsided by Shayna).

Well, uh, it's way too late to avoid either of those things. DIY has basically sucked the entire rest of NXT into itself at this point and it's starting to hurt everything, imo (and also imo it sorta jumped the shark at Chicago but maybe it'll un-jump it in Brooklyn?). That doesn't mean Gargano and Candice aren't both really talented and shouldn't get their due at some point.

Yeah, but the same could be said for Kairi and whoever may win the MYC II (assuming it isnt Candice vs Shayna in LA). And it seems like WWE was making an effort to move Candice away from Johnny over the past few weeks, but now I'm not sure.

Too late, Ricochet is already going for it. Either way, I feel like whoever loses at Brooklyn (Kairi or Shayna) will be called up to the main roster. Smackdown is in desperate need of an actual strong female heel, so it should be Shayna. But if Carmella somehow retains at Summerslam, they'll need a new babyface to go after her.

I forgot about Nikki, but I think I remember hearing talk of Vince not liking her being with Sanity, so its likely she ends up on RAW. Yeah she's been touring with Smackdown, but there have been callups where they went to the opposite brand of the one they were doing house shows on.

I could see Aleister having fun feuding for the North American title, if nothing else, especially if they do more multi-mans. I also don't think Gargano's gonna hold the belt for that long, maybe will drop at TakeOver January and then get a nice Rumble moment & callup. If they wanna keep Aleister around he could regain it there, I guess.

I was lucky enough to be in the building for Gargano vs Cien in Philadelphia and Ciampa's return, so I'm kinda happy to be going to TakeOver Brooklyn to see what I hope is the blow-off to the feud :)
