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'm pretty sure Rose is going over. Since NXT is now promoted in the main roster and has a little bit more people watching it they wouldn't have a guy who just debuted job to Camacho (who hasn't been on the main shows for a looong time).

But does he really need to go over? I mean he's not lost a single match he's been in as Adam Rose.

Well, of course. Has he even competed in 10 matches as Rose? He has had only one serious match so far, and it was against Camacho. The rest were squashes. I don't think he should lose for the sake of losing, it wouldn't make sense to make this new guy who's just debuted lose to someone as irrelevant as Camacho.

http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers/leo-kruger-6438.html he's won a fair amount of matches, I don't think him losing would be anything bad and would actually give someone else a chance to shine.

Most of the wins are at house shows, those don't count. His only real win was on Raw on Monday, because other than that he beat guys like Danny Burch and Camacho. He shouldn't lose because in this case, Rose is the one who they want to make look like a star, not Camacho, especially for someone who doesn't normally watch NXT, but is going to catch Takeover. It's one of the first times they see Rose wrestling, and then he goes out there and loses to Camacho? Someone who the guy who doesn't always watch NXT probably doesn't remember exists? That would make Rose look like a jobber, just like Camacho. If they were planning to bring Camacho up right now or something, it would be excusable. But they're not going to do that, so having Rose job to Camacho, who's some jobber at this point, wouldn't be smart.

Plus you can work the match so Camacho looks good in defeat. Allowing them to work on him in the future more easily.

With only 5 matches so far on the card and two hours I think they can get a decently lengthed match out of Camacho and Rose, or at least I hopse so. No reason to have Camacho get squashed or even visa versa.

Of course. There's no need for Adam to squash him or anything.
Especially not with the real good work they have put into building Camacho. In a short while he has become credible.

But that's coming from a mark for him.

Well, sure, as far as NXT goes. The main reason for me being against Rose losing here is because he's on the main roster and stuff (I'm sure you know that), but yeah they don't have to bury Camacho's "NXT" credibility, so to speak.

I'm entertained by him I just wish they would go for more of a Homicide or Hernandez look, don't really dig the khakis with the black wifebeater.

Doing a quick preview thingy...

After rewatching the Adam Rose vs Camacho match last week, it was actually surprisingly good and you've gotta expect it to be better this week. This should be fun. Maybe the Rosebuds can dogpile Camacho?

I assume Colin Cassady vs CJ Parker will be added. Let Colin Cassady sing a song about how CJ smells like Prius exhaust, call him sawft, and I'll be satisfied. :) Oh, and bring back Enzo as his goofy sidekick. And beat CJ's punk ass, that'll be nice too.

Hahahahaha it's about time Kalisto debuted! :win: He and the surprisingly mobile El Local should go great together as they face the Disciples of Destruction themselves. This is really the only match on the card where I have no idea who's winning, either one is cool with me, as long as we get to see more of the magical aerial magician Kalisto.

Charlotte has really been improving quite a bit in a really short time! It's been really impressive and it's fun to see her dad's old signature spots. She'd totally be my favorite main roster diva, sadly she's only like 5th on NXT (because Emma, Paige, and Summer are all still NXT chicks to me, dammit.) Wonder just how good this will be?

Can someone tell me how the same company produces NXT and Raw? Why do you do this to me? They're taking someone who's already arguably the most likable guy on the roster in Sami Zayn, and then go back in his history and realize he has a history of being OCD about certain things, and then let that be part of his character... Awesome. The dude is the perfect babyface at the moment. Oh, and Tyler Breeze is incredible. Great worker and his backstage promos are the best thing in the world that doesn't have Rockstar Spud in it, he has a very bright future. I was originally going to say "Eh, Sami can eat the loss, so Breeze can have a big win" but with it being a #1 contender's match... Yeah, I'm totally pulling for Sami because Sami/Neville I was flippin' unbelievable so Sami/Neville II for the belt will be just perf... Wait... What if Breeze wins, sending Sami into a downward spiral of sorts as it drives him insane and he is unleashed with so much rage and fury yet he eventually comes back and wins the belt? So many possibilities!

(If that last thing happens, sorry Bo but Sami is now the GOAT John Cena parody character)

Tyson Kidd is wrestling for the NXT Championship... *soaks that in for a little while* Ahh. Dreams do come true. Also isn't this his first 3-match winning streak in his career? And hell, he's in the main event of the most pushed episode of NXT yet. That's just incredible. And he and Neville are going to put on a clinic while Neville looks like an absolute star. He's more than just a cool finish at this point.

Anyway, with 2 fantastic matches headlining + 2 more sleepers on the undercard, this should be better than all the "PPV's" of June. I cannot wait for this and it'll be a fun time to be a wresling fan yet again, just like Arrival was.

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.
Grandma Nazi.

Why are Tyson Kidd and Natty on NXT? So much talent just horrible underused.

Charlotte defeats Natalya
Breeze defeats Zayn (by cheating)
El Local & Kalisto defeat The Ascension (c)
Adam Rose defeats Camacho
