There's a pretty stacked Takeover on in 45 minutes.
NXT Title Finn Balor vs Pete Dunne
NXT North American Title Johnny Gargano vs Kushida
NXT Women's Title Io Shirai vs Toni Storm vs Mercedes Martinez
Finals of the Mens Dusty Rhodes Classic MSK vs Grizzled Young Veterans
Finals of the Women's Dusty Rhodes Classic Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez vs Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon
I haven't watched NXT enough to get super invested in this show, but from a wrestling standpoint, it should be fantastic, so I'm watching.
Balor Gargano
Toni Time
MSK Dakota & Raquel
I think Gargano weasels out a win and loses it in the rematch Io has been champ for so long I could see Toni or Mercedes pinning each other and Io getting screwed (or Io pins one girl and the other gets a singles shot at the next Takeover)
MSK losing in the finals doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially when Oney & Burch, heels, are tag champs
Went with the heel women simply because I don't think two babyface teams should win the tournament Dunne seems like a filler feud for Balor until he gets to Kross

It’s weird, he signed to developmental years ago and it didn’t work out. Went to TNA, actually built his name up, correct me if I’m wrong but was TNA Champ for a bit, left that company and went to NWA where he was pretty much forgotten about. NOW they sign him to NXT again when there’s no buzz around him?
Wrestling is weird. He’s a good talker and decent wrestler, so good for him though. He’ll have good matches with their stacked roster I’m sure.
Don’t see him as a main event guy though.

Wait, his new name is LA Knight? Is that fucking true?
Let the guy keep Eli at least. Eli Knight is better than this. Goodness gracious.

I'm a huge Drake fan but I think there are reasons he keeps losing opportunities.

Dakota in pink hair works for me. Just sayin.
Raquel looks like she could fireman’s carry me with ease. And that definitely isn’t my thing.

I can't wait to see Shotzi in a tank at a big Mania with fans.

Why are the babyfaces getting heat on the heel? And Raquel made the hot tag.
NXT women’s tag matches are always mapped out weird.

Maybe, they definitely shouldn’t. She’s a solid heel killer.
But I could see breaking her off from Dakota eventually.

90% of that match was sloppy as shit.
The other 10% was fun though.
Happy the heels won.

Wait, they get a tag title match?
Dakota & Raquel vs Nia & Shayna? Protect Dakota from The Hole F’N Show at all cost!

Damn fine wrestling match. I want a rematch.
I fear Lumis is next for Johnny. And he’s awful.

Rascalz matches always have this sort of sloppy but in an entertaining way kind of thing. They were like that when I watched their PWG stuff too.
Happy they went all the way with them winning this. You now have strong contenders and hopefully new tag champs soon.
Fun match.

“LA Knight, the hottest free agent in all of wrestling.”
Haha hottest free agent? Because...there’s no one left on the indies?

Balor wins in a great main
Oney & Burch rush to lay out the champ. Undisputed makes the save and stand tall with Balor
Then COLE LAYS OUT BALOR...then COLE LAYS OUT KYLE leaving Roddy stuck to choose as the show goes off the air.
I thought we were about to get Balor vs Kross and I was sort of dreading that. But I LOVE the places we could go now.
