So in what may quite possibly be the most bizarre thing I have seen from WWE in quite some time:

Apparently at Takeover, we will be getting this: Shayna Baszler, Adam Cole, Dakota Kai, Johnny Gargano, and Tyler1 vs Seth Rollins, Ruby Riott, Tyler Breeze, Cesaro, and imaqtpie

In an NXT vs WWE League of Legends 5v5 matchup.

And I'm not joking either.

Wait wait, actually on the Takeover? :stare:

I can't decide if this is dumb as poo poo or actually pretty smart because esports are getting more and more popular and I feel like there's a lot of potential (and actual) audience crossover there.

I can't tell if you're joking but that would unironically rule. UUDD Roman is awesome and is basically like if they overhauled Roman on TV like how they did The Usos (which I feel like they kinda briefly did with Roman As Dean's Buddy during Dean's ME push and as I recall it was pretty good and over) which would be potentially great.

Martinez is going to directly jump to the main roster and debut alongside Baron Corbin. Punishment Corbin and Baron Corbin. The Corbin Twins. They'll win by using twin magic.

No, UUDD Roman is genuinely the best. He's just chill and better at CoD than everybody else.

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.
Tyler1 is basically what happens when you shrink roid rage into the body of a man that's only 5'4
Imaqtpie is what happens when RVD suddenly gives less of a poo poo about anything I mean the dude is a millionaire and showed up to NXT in gym shorts and addidas flip flops

Obviously this isn't going to be fully correct, but here is what the Takeover: War Games card will probably be. Only one match was confirmed for the card so far, however. Taken from another site, but regardless its pretty solid.

quote:

- War Games: Undisputed Era vs. War Raiders, Ricochet, and Pete Dunne (confirmed; Undisputed have the man advantage)

- NXT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Velveteen Dream (could also be a three way with Lars Sullivan)

- NXT Women’s Title: Kairi Sane vs. Bianca Belair (Bianca won a few big matches on the taping and she’s a heel, so it would make sense Kairi would be champion if she is challenging)

- Aleister Black vs. Johnny Gargano

- Matt Riddle vs. Kassius Ohno

Could also be a Nikki Cross vs. Candice LeRae match, but that one I am less sure of

Cross-LeRae seems like one of those taped before TakeOver things.

And I’d imagine they’ll have Bianca attack Sane at Evolution or in a taped backstage thing to set up that match.

Dunne was selling an ankle injury pretty hard during the go-home show taping. Wouldn’t be surprised if EC3 took his place at War Games.

The only one that's true of is Charlotte/Asuka. Braun and Roman have been feuding for months, and they literally just did Rey/Shinsuke.
