Ouch at Io's head smacking the ground from that dive.

Johnny Gargano is probably calling the cops right now to deal with the broken window and mess being made in front of his house.

Triple A 06-07-2020 09:18 PM

Nice @ Shirai winning

Triple A 06-07-2020 09:19 PM

Crowd seems silent

Triple A 06-07-2020 09:20 PM

Ouch @ her knee landing like right on Ripley's head with the moonsault

Triple A 06-07-2020 09:21 PM

Feel like that was the best match on the show

Not a bad show but probably the worst TakeOver

Emperor Smeat 06-07-2020 09:21 PM

:D IO

Why do a fluky finish though for the title change. Match was great up until that point.

They did a similar fluky finish for Drake Maverick a couple weeks ago.

TakeOver itself was pretty good overall. I'd put it more in the lower tier mainly due to only the Women's title match being great.

Sepholio 06-07-2020 09:21 PM

Yeah that moonsault was real close to murdering Rhea.

slik 06-07-2020 09:24 PM

I like the retro graphics, giving me saved by the bell vibes

slik 06-07-2020 09:25 PM

Still don't understand why NXT/WWE has never used Ricky Steamboat as a manager trying to find women to DESTROY Charlotte to avenge his losses to Ric Flair....seems 'a given' IMO

Lazy Booking Paul/Vince!!

slik 06-07-2020 09:27 PM

need to go back and watch balor match since I missed that....prob will skip Gargano match, not in the mood for 20 minutes of kickouts at 2 1/2

DaveWadding 06-07-2020 09:27 PM

Love Io. Glad they'rw done with the Charlotte experiment. Maybe they can move Asuka and Kairi to NXT for a spell and play "who will Kairi choose?"

This one wasn't really like that.

Emperor Smeat 06-07-2020 09:32 PM

Wonder if WWE gave up on the idea of Rhea being a future top women's star since that's two big title matches in a row she's lost.

After building her up for months as a big deal and potential future top star, her NXT title reign was pretty much nothing and got fed to Charlotte at Mania. Then tonight she eats the pin because WWE chickened out on having Charlotte eat the pin for the title change.

Bad News Gertner 06-07-2020 09:37 PM

Wow, blew away AEW's last ppv.

Maybe they are planning on calling her up soon

Balor match was good

If so, feels like they would have done a better job of handling her these past few months.

Then again Chelsea Green pretty much had a nothing run in NXT and she's planned to be getting called up soon.

NXT's call up system really needs some quality fixing done since its been in a mess for way too long.

slik 06-07-2020 09:58 PM

so confused

thought Priest was wearing a thong via mesh tights but then has a briefline on the ground...maybe just pulled up one side of briefs into a thong one side for his mesh tights...confusing

Not a top 10 takeover, but that is a REALLY high bar.

Loved the story they told in the Ciampa Kross match.
Finn and Priest was the best bout of the night.
Triple threat match was decent, but having Io win makes it more exciting and memorable.

NXT doesn't do the cinematic matches anywhere near the level of the main roster.
I like Gargano as a heel in skits, but it didn't work well in the ring against a much larger babyface.

Doing nothing in NXT is almost the blueprint for who Vince will push to the moon on the main roster.
Alexa
Carmella
Otis
Elias

I watched about half of this with family who was over and decided NXT is no longer for me, along with WWE.


Couldn't get behind anything :(

screech 06-08-2020 09:56 AM

Watching this now: intro was neat. Musical performance was not.

Who do you think told the trainees to chant this is awesome right after the bell rang?

screech 06-08-2020 09:57 AM

Haven't watched NXT in several months, btw. No idea what's going on with these matches.

6-woman tag is p good so far.

screech 06-08-2020 10:02 AM

Mauro's references always sound so forced. Terrible.

screech 06-08-2020 10:03 AM

Balor vs. Priest. I think this will be good via always enjoying Balor & kinda knowing who Damian Priest is.

screech 06-08-2020 10:30 AM

Good match. Priest landing on the steps looked rough.

screech 06-08-2020 10:32 AM

Ice cream sandwich and ICO PRO ads - nice touch.

screech 06-08-2020 10:35 AM

Oh snap Gargano vs. Lee should be sweet

I was right. Enjoyed this match.

Backlot brawl was neat. Some of the angles were rough with the headlights. Don't know who that guy from under the ring was. Is Dream getting moved to RAW or SD?

On the Ciampa match now. Don't know who this other guy is.

Danny Electric 06-08-2020 12:40 PM

I can’t get behind Dexter Lumis against the Undisputed Era, the guy is playing a stalker character same as he did in TNA and should definitely be a heel.

XL 06-08-2020 01:27 PM

What was Gargano’s attire referencing this time?

screech 06-08-2020 03:06 PM

Ciampa match was good. I liked what I saw from Karrion Kross.

Women's match was v good. I like that Io won. Does this mean we'll have Rhea chasing the title again or does she move on to someone else?

New game. How will the roster call up ruin another NXT talent?

Probably on her chasing for the belt again since Charlotte posted a couple of tweets after the show that implied her time in NXT is done at least for now.

Then again, Triple H also mentioned that everyone complaining about her NXT booking should wait like another 3-4 months since that is when it will be finished.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Triple H says the culmination of Charlotte's NXT booking will make sense in 3-4 months, but right now it looks like she won the Rumble over Shayna and minimized her Mania match, halted Ripley's momentum and exhausted a bunch of Champion vs. Champion matches without being pinned</p>&mdash; Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com (@SeanRossSapp) <a href="https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1269828504339742722?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 8, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
