Samoa Joe vs Shinsuke Nakamura

The king of strong style takes on the king of being Somoan yet somehow not The Rocks cousin. Also, I think Nakamura still has Joes nose to this day.

Asuka Vs Bayley

Asuka should probably kill Bayley so hard she has to go crawling to Smackdown. NXT womens division desperately needs someone on Asuka's level.

The Revival Vs Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa

The Revival are fun and I wouldn't be looking forward to this match if it wasn't for the awesome match between Garganno and Ciampa in the CWC. Should be real good fun if they get the time.

No Way Jose vs. Austin Aries

The greatest man who ever Lived, Austin Aries, has just been missing a thing for me since coming to NXT. Maybe the heel turn could do something? No Way Jose has looked much better coming into this one too

Ember Moon vs. Billie Kay

Could Ember Moon be what the NXT womens division needs? Hopefully we'll find out.

I too will be watching LIVE

I'd say I'm most looking forward to the tag team match, playas.

I watched The Revival vs Ciampa/Gargano at a house show and that repeated will be a show stealer most nights.

That match is gonna be tight. Happy that Asuka won't have to go on after Nakamura for once.

Nxt tipsters: a heel-rific show save for Ember Moon provided she's the face. I love Nakamura so much, but I'm pulling for Joe to win this one in the first of a long feud.

Dunno, as much as I'd like to see a good long feud between joe and nakamura, I got a feeling it's going to be one and done, with a call up to smackdown for joe afterward.

All hail Asuka booo Bayley!!!!!!!!

And that's fine if that's the case. Smackdown does need more firepower. I just want to see Nakamura work for the title the way Joe did before either one moves up. I realize nxt is the "minors" but seeing the title just move from one person to the next with the former champ getting called up because there's "nothing left" is getting old. The Joe and Balor matches were really fun. At least stretch it out before moving someone up and giving them the standard 50/50 shot at succeeding.

:y:

I'm with you. I'm just saying smackdown needs a little more talent, and wwe isn't really known for their patience.

Hope I'm wrong though. Joe and Naka have awesome chemistry.

Tonight's Takeover is brought to you in part by a 41% IPA

I'm gonna be battered by the main event...

My predictions:

* Nakamura wins the NXT Title and Joe is called up to SmackDown afterwards.

* Asuka retains the NXT Women's Championship when she earns a true submission from Bayley. The two shake hands after the match and Bayley heads up to the main roster knowing that NXT and its Women's Division are in safe hands.

* The Glory Bombers win the NXT Tag Team Titles and The Revival are called up to SmackDown in a few weeks.

* Bobby Roode is too good; too glorious.

* Ember Moon successfully debuts against Billie Kay and sets herself up as logical #1 contender for the Women's Title.

* Austin Aries has his best showing in NXT to date, and manages to beat No Way Jose, who does impress.

Jesus, some of those Brewdog creations just look like they're a tasty way to self harm.

Anyway, staying up for this one as a warm up to the local company I'm watching tomorrow evening. Should be good.

Ya'll better be listening to Roode's theme while being in here!!

Ha ha nerd in NASA t-shirt......

Probs better than being in the Bayley shirt.

"He's been a Champion everywhere"

Name the company, I fucking dare you Ranallo.

Mauro being on the pre-show has made it 10000% better, based on 60 seconds of watching it.

Just waiting on Renee and Lita making out to make it the best pre show ever.

Roode just said Glorious. Have to play the song now.

Is Billie Kay's face weird-looking or is it just me?

Keep on sucking

I can confirm I do not want to hug anyone in the hugger section.

TOP GUY BUSINESS

Should be a fantastic show

Would you take them roughly?

Hopeful Gargano and Ciampa win and the Revival get moved to the desperately lacking Smackdown tag division. Another few months of Revival vs. Alpha could go a long way to establishing new belts instead of like... American Alpha vs. Hype Bros or Ascension or basically any other tag team on Smackdown.

Samoa Joe overhand swinging a sledgehammer is legitimately scary.

It looks like life has been rough enough to them already, they don't need me adding to it.

Think we got robbed of Gargano & Ciampa V American Alpha in NXT, so they need to go to SD fo sho.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww here we go!

Pre taped Hunter hype package.

SHINSUKE IS TAKING OVER BROOKLYN

hope Nakamura wins

Great opening. Makes it feel like a big deal and Asuka scary.

Big crowd for an NXT event

NO WAY

JOSE

Kind of feel like Aries has to win this one.

Good choice for an opener though, Jose's theme/entrance will definitely get people hyped up.

I like guy in Austin Aries T-Shirt leading No Way Jose conga line

wtf is this conga line

Ugh hate No Way Jose

hope aries destroys this loser

Bit surprised No Way vs Aires is opening the show. Would have figured Moon vs Kay instead for the special debut treatment.

Get a haircut.

Yeah, same here.

Not feeling the conga though. Felt very Adam Rosey

Jose annoys me.

Fans seem bored/distracted

Ric Flair just walked in so they got distracted.

Blood in Jose's mouth

Match was too long..... ain't nobody want to see that match.....

Fun match, right dude won and Jose looked good.

No Win Jose

Decent match to start the show and better than the last Takeover's opening.

Was thinking during that match that I'd have rather had Hideo Itami have taken one of No Way Jose or Cien's spots on the card......

Correct decision.

Jose has a fun gimmick and can be good, but he seemed super lost at times in the "big match" style. Needs more time in the oven.

Lovely suit, terrible shoes.

Itami vs. Aries could be a hell of a match.

OH FUCK YES. An AA/Hideo feud is going to be fucking ace.

Hideo finally hits the GTS.....

Hideo's kicks and GTS look really good

Yeeesssssssssss.

He's taken all of his moves back.

:y: Hideo busting out the GTS

Time off seems to have done Itami a lot of good. Gave him more time to get comfortable in the company/system.

The few matches he's had since returning, he seems to have a lot of the swagger and attitude that made him a big deal before NXT.

KENTAAAAAAAA

Funaki and Ibushi!

Never seen this Ember Moon woman before so looking forward to finding out what she's all about.

Damn..... really liked the opera music they were using for Billie Kay's theme...... replaced with terrible new theme............

Billie Kay could get it.

The only thing wrong with that face is the lack of my jizz on it. :y:

Ember Moon cool theme and entrance (maybe a bit too happy/hoppy after badass hood and cloak)

Ember Moon having the red eye look is pretty cool.

Billie Kay is showing more than she has in all her other matches combined so far.

Here comes the dope finisher.

The Demon Ember

That fucking finish. Jesus.

That move is awesome

:y: Moon keeping the flying Stunner/O-Face.

Match was pretty good.

Impressive debut...... feel like she needs to act more "stoic"/"mysterious"/"subdued"/"less smiley" to go with the red eyes and the start of her entrance......

Kinda disappointed I knew of it already. Would probably have marked out super hard if I hadn't known it was coming.

I can't wait for the inevitable Ember Moon vs Asuka match.

Just gonna leave this here for everyone:

Mad impressed by Ember Moon's finisher.

"He has won titles all over the world" *shows pictures from Canada only*

GLORIOUS ENTRANCE

I love Bobby Roode's entrance theme. Hahahaha that is fantastic.

SUCK ON THAT WADE BARRETT

Glorious.

Roode gets a Wrestlemania entrance, and Andrade's going to come out with his stupid budget Chippendale's dancer outfit.

Roode should squash him in six seconds.

GLORIOUS ENTRANCE FROM BOBBY ROODE.

Roode's theme music is currently the best thing in NXT.

GLORIOUS

Glorious entrance for a glorious man

Bobby Roode seems so far above NXT already. Like, his character and mic skills almost seem out of place on NXT because it is so "main roster style".........

This is glorious!

Real talk: why was Cien not in the CWC?

hope Bobby Roode wins this
