Updated NXT Takeover Card

[F.R.I.E]

Really don't understand the Kidd vs Neville situation tbh. Just not taking it seriously. I'm sure it will be a fantastic match, though.

I know that Charlotte will win the tourney no matter her opponent. Actually, I know she'll face Natalya and win.

Neville & Charolette vs TK and Natty will probably happen at some point down the road; we've seen the cross gender matches before just not in NXT

No that's not why they're doing it, idk Sami Zayn is great and all but I'm like 100% he will be called up VERY soon so I don't think they want to give him the belt and then have his reign be shorter than expected.

Natty overall is just a good opponent for Charlotte they both have some meat on their bones and are decently buff chicks.

These two being part of the Hart family (whether it be extended in TK's case or not) are good tools to use to help put the developmental superstars over in the NXT promotion IMO, especially if they have nothing going on for the main roster at the moment.

Nice card. Loved ArRIVAL and am happy to be all caught up on NXT again now, so looking forward to trying to catch this live.

I'm interested to see if the match between The Ascension and Kalisto ft El Locale (Ricardo Rodriguez) will go a decent length.
I wouldn't say this card looks better than arRIVAL's but I will say it definitely is on an impressive level as far as the developmental roster goes.

Yeah exactly. It'd be hard to beat ArRIVAL, as I'm sure they went all out for their first "PPV," but on paper this seems like it'll still be a good quality, entertaining show. I love Konnor and marked big time for Kalisto, so I'll be very interested to see how long their match goes, as well. Hopefully they'll get decent time in to really do the match justice while letting everyone showcase their talents. And of course I'm looking forward to seeing Zayn vs. Breeze.

Yeah I mean even Camacho vs Adam Rose should be entertaining even though Camacho isn't necissarily the creme de la creme when it comes to the NXT roster but him and Adam Rose have the potential for a decent 8-15 minute match.. arRIVAL on a personal level will be hard to beat simply because Zayn vs Cesaro was soo good!

Oh yeah, I think Rose could make just about any match entertaining, haha. So even though I'm not a Camacho fan, that should still be a good match. That's one good thing about having a card that isn't too loaded down, either; they'll have the opportunity to grant each match more time. Zayn vs. Cesaro was epic, and that was a time when I did not at all mind them doing a rematch, haha. They had... what, 2 or 3 matches? .... on NXT prior to ArRIVAL, and they were all great. They couldn't go wrong with those two. Add to that the first ladder match for the championship, and it was just an outstanding show.

This shall be good.

I love NXT on the Network far better than just releasing the tapings, the production value increased and they've grown a lot as a developmental promotion. I really hope it's able to stick around and help the company make a little bit of moolah at the same time

 

[RoyalRaven]

Do you think now Adam's debuted on the main roster he'll lose to Camacho? or will they job him out again? For those who don't know under his Adam Rose gimmick he hasn't actually lost a match so far.

I genuinely hope that this PPV is as good as the first one.
Neville Vs. Kid should be a really match.
I don't seem to remember seeing El Local wrestle yet- are they any good?

I think this PPV will come very close to arRIVAL but not as good. My main reasonings being the first ladder match for the title I believe between Neville and Bo Dallas was solid and then Cesaro and Sami Zayn put on one helluva match.

I want to hype the Neville & Kidd match but I'll have to wait and see, they definitely seem like two wrestlers who could pull decent matches out of eachother, Neville being the champ and TK being a seasoned vet. Honestly Breeze vs Zayn I wanna see badly, I hope they let it go for awhile letting Breeze show off a little stuff but ultimately I want Zayn to come out with the win.

I like Kalisto a lot, took him awhile to get on screen but he's pretty good. Ricardo Rodriguez is behind El Local and it's pretty funny watching him go at it. Should be an entertaining match at the least.

I just wish there were better tag-teams for The Ascension to go against. They only ever get to go against random jobbers thrown together. I get that they want to show the guys as wrecking machines that just bust through everybody, but I'd love for them to get to face a team that could at least appear to be a challenge. I seriously want them to go to the main roster, but the tag division there isn't exactly flourishing either.

I think I'm being highly optimistic about the standard of Takeover, as you pointed out Neville Vs Dallas and Cesaro Vs Zayn were totally gold matches.

I was hoping Swagger would temporarily go to NXT, him and Brodus Clay (as much as I hate him) could've worked well as a tag team in NXT.

Dont know if it's been mentioned yet but Takeover is confirmed to be a 2 hour special event starting at 9pm EST.
