STOP DOING HEROIN
End of an era, in more ways than one. Maybe there will be some good matches along the way, who knows. Adam Cole is going to wrestle for 50 minutes and I will be very mad online about it.

The time: 7:30 p.m. ET, Peacock

The card

Pre-show: Trey Baxter vs. Ridge Holland
NXT UK Championship: WALTER(c) vs. Ilja Dragunov
Million Dollar Championship: LA Knight(c) vs. Cameron Grimes (If Grimes loses, Ted DiBiase must be Knight's butler)
NXT Women's Championship: Raquel Gonzalez(c) vs. Dakota Kai
NXT Championship: Karrion Kross(c) vs. Samoa Joe
Three Stages of Hell: Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly (first fall, wrestling match; second fall, street fight, third fall, steel cage match)

The shitposts

I have no sympathy for Hunter but I wonder what it's like to work your whole life to be the successor of the biggest wrestling company in the world, lose to a billionaire EWR booker, then have everything immediately taken away from you. This is some real Game of Thrones poo poo, all we're missing is Stephanie divorcing him and taking the kids while Hunter tries to rebuild the NWA with fellow loser Billy Corgan.

Be nice if there was a tag match, those are usually good on takeover.


There's two sets of tag titles.

I hope this show ends like Monty Python Holy Grail but instead of the cops arresting everyone it's Nick and Johnny escorting them out of the building with their stuff in trash bags

It's a drat shame. NXT got me back into wrestling and Sami vs. Neville is my all time favorite match. I guess in retrospect it was a miracle that anything was allowed to be that good in such an awful company.

I've convinced myself that this is gonna be the last takeover so I'm gonna watch this.

I can't not be excited about WALTER slapping Ilja a bunch. Also I'm excited to see KOR beat Cole and basically confirm that Cole's out.

I was thinking of going to my bud's to watch this but summerslam was so lifeless and shoddy it's hard to find the energy

I don't think they plan on touring with nxt ever again

In a year it's gonna be like impact, taped shows, in a closet, but with no wrestlers all just tryout scrubs

haven't seen a Takeover for a couple of years, so I might as well watch this if this is the last hurrah, just to see if Vince has poisoned the well already

I wonder how many more Takeovers there are going to be as they limp through the rebranding before next January or so when they suddenly all become something more branded for corporate synergy and focused on who can lift the most milk crates

The question is less "how many takeovers are left" since this defines them as non-touring and rather cheap to put on. They still have 205 live, NXT UK and Main Event off the back of those being really inexpensive.

The question is how bad the talent gets before goons stop watching. It'll limp along.

If they're done with touring and not using established stars then there's really no point in building up to big Network Peacock specials. Whatever big matches they do have will probably stay on TV as USA desperately tries to salvage something out of this relationship.

This may not be the last last Takeover but it's definitely the last one as we used to know it.
