By XXX it doesn't mean the pornos or even the Low Ki, Christopher Daniels & Elix Skipper tag team in TNA. It's the 30th Takeover, which, is it just me or does it feel like there's been more than 30? Anyways, it's Saturday.
NXT Title
Keith Lee vs Karrion Kross
North American Title - Ladder Match
Damien Priest vs Cameron Grimes vs Bronson Reed vs Johnny Gargano vs Velveteen Dream
Women's Title
Io Shirai vs Dakota Kai
Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher
Adam Cole vs Pat McAfee
Pre-Show - Number One Contender For The Tag Titles
Breezango vs Oney & Burch vs Wilde & Mendoza
I'll be watching this show and probably posting about it after Dynamite finishes (reminder Dynamite is at an earlier time this week on Saturday). You have a little of everything on this card. Hoss main event, car wreck ladder match, strong women's title, great wrestling with Finn/Thatcher and then the attraction of Cole/Pat.

I don't think I care about any of those matches.

I'll watch the Women's Title and NXT Title matches but that's about it.

I don't think this is a one and done for Pat. Which makes me think Cole is losing.
I assume there's going to be some crazy bumps in the ladder match (Grimes will be a crash test dummy I think). I hope someone like Reed or Priest win it.
They've built Kross into too much of a monster to lose. I know Lee is still a relatively new champ, but having Kross lose by DQ or countout is super weak, so they need to make him champ. Unless they do a shitty no contest and have a rematch to pop a TV rating. Which seems like a tactic they'd do.
Io should retain, despite Dakota being a strong challenger.
Thatcher/Balor should be fun. I don't care who wins.
I've really only kept up on NXT via YouTube in past months, so I'm not invested in this card at all either, but I think we'll get some strong wrestling.

Pat McAfee is an unfunny douchebag. I went out of my way to avoid him on the YouTube watchalongs. Why the fuck would I care about him actually performing?

You can add me to the group that has always found McAfee change the channel heat. But holy shit do I love this angle now. |

Apparently this is Sunday?
Well then, that clears that up. Dynamite tomorrow. Takeover Sunday.

WWE should move Takeover to USA. I don't want that to happen, but that would be a thing.

Metallica music to the opening video package; awesome! It reminded me of the kidnapping scene in Old School, which easily could happen in the Performance Center parking lot. |

Damien Priest has great potential; him and Kross are the future of WWE.

Wow. I thought they were going to slowly turn Cole and McAfee. Not very subtle.
