Almas goes 2-0 and shows Johnny why he should be Cien Wrestling.

Takeover Andrade..Takeover

These guys "deserve" fight forever chants. They earned it.

 

[Jimmy King]

Solid stuff this week. Loved Nikki in the women's match and I'm cool with Peyton winning.

Lio looked good in his first official match against his real life best friend. Street Profits stuff was fun and the main event was great.

NXT preview, Oct. 18, 2017: Six-man mayhem between SAnitY and Undisputed ERA

SAnitY and The Undisputed ERA face off tonight in a Six-Man Tag Team Match in a battle of two of NXT’s most destructive forces. Plus, Ember Moon, Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville compete in an NXT Women’s Title Qualifying Match, NXT Champion Drew McIntyre assesses the lay of the land in the black-and-yellow brand, and much more.

SAnitY, Undisputed ERA ready for massive six-man tag

Katy, bar the door, because unadulterated mayhem is on its way to NXT.

The chaotic collective of SAnitY’s Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain will battle The Undisputed ERA’s Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly in a massive Six-Man Tag Team Match tonight on NXT.

The warring factions have been at odds since The Undisputed ERA’s unsettling emergence at TakeOver: Brooklyn III, when Fish & O’Reilly ambushed Young & Wolfe after SAnitY dethroned The Authors of Pain to win the NXT Tag Team Titles. Cole scored The Undisputed ERA’s first official victory against SAnitY by pinning Young in a singles match on the Sept. 27 episode of NXT. During that electrifying match, an all-out brawl erupted between Fish & O’Reilly and Wolfe & Dain at ringside, giving the NXT Universe a preview of what’s in store tonight.

Whether the squared circle will be able to contain the action remains to be seen. Don’t miss this colossal main event when it streams exclusively on WWE Network at 8/7 C.

Triple Threat Match to determine the next NXT Women’s Title contender

The next Superstar to join the NXT Women’s Title Fatal 4-Way Match at TakeOver: WarGames will be decided tonight when Ember Moon, Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville square off in a Triple Threat Qualifying Match.

The winner of the bout will compete for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship alongside Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane, Peyton Royce and one other Superstar still to be determined in Houston on Saturday, Nov. 18.

Moon has been in pursuit of the title for the better part of 2017, giving former champion Asuka a run for her money in two classic matchups at previous TakeOver events. Though Riot has spent the past few weeks trying to figure out Nikki Cross’ interest in her rivalry with The Iconic Duo, tonight she switches her focus to the ultimate prize in NXT’s Women’s division. Former MMA standout Deville, meanwhile, looks to use her mean streak to force her way into contention.

Find out which hard-nosed gladiator will cinch her spot in the Fatal 4-Way Match tonight, only on NXT.

Drew McIntyre sounds off on the state of the NXT Championship

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and nobody knows that better than NXT Champion Drew McIntyre. Not only is NXT brimming with potent threats to his title reign, but the unpredictable Undisputed ERA appears insistent on wreaking havoc wherever they see fit, and not even McIntyre is off-limits.

Yet, as his successful title defense against Roderick Strong two weeks ago proved, the Scottish powerhouse is nothing if not a fighting champion. All he asks is for any would-be contenders to step up and challenge him face-to-face, “like a man.”

With countless potential challengers no doubt waiting for their opportunity to do just that, McIntyre returns to NXT tonight to assess the lay of the land in the black-and-yellow brand.

With Strong’s challenge behind him, what will McIntyre have to say about his future in NXT? See for yourself tonight when NXT streams exclusively on WWE Network.

Will Raul Mendoza be the first to deal Aleister Black a loss?

No Superstar has had a more successful tenure between yellow ropes than Aleister Black.

The head-kicking Dutch destroyer remains undefeated some six months after he first stepped foot in NXT, and tonight he returns to action to face one of the brand’s most exciting newcomers, Mexico’s Raul Mendoza.

Can Mendoza, a former Cruiserweight Classic competitor, make the ultimate statement by becoming the first grappler to take down Black? Perhaps just as intriguing is Black’s mindset heading into the contest, given The Velveteen Dream’s recent attention-seeking ways, which center on the flamboyant Superstar trying to make Black to utter his name. With Black competing inside the squared circle, can The Velveteen Dream be far behind?

NXT’s Knockout Artist faces upset artist Cezar Bononi

Kassius Ohno is on a red-hot streak in NXT, but tonight he faces a Superstar who has proven to be plenty capable of defeating competitors much more experienced than himself, Brazilian upstart Cezar Bononi.

The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Bononi memorably scored a three-count against Andrade “Cien” Almas earlier this year. He’ll look to repeat that type of performance when he takes on the world-traveled Ohno, who is unquestionably one of the most battle-tested Superstars in all NXT. Putting the distinct experience gap aside, Ohno and Bononi share a very glaring trait: Both men throw heavy hands.

Watch this heavyweight slugfest when it goes down tonight at 8/7 C, only on the award-winning WWE Network.

Would NXT shut up and take my money already!

Maybe this chick should drop the MMA gimmick. ..Shayna Baszler is signed.

 

[Deezy]

Trips pushing Ruby Riot because he knows what it's like to be a toucan

 

[Deezy]

Ok that triple test of strength spot should never be attempted again

 

[Smart Marx]

Sonya got some good height and impact on that lariat.

 

[Deezy]

maybe the company should rethink the ramp....seems to be something everyone in nxt nail wen they do dives.

 

[Smart Marx]

Riot got them stiff kicks. A bit too stiff. She hurt herself there.

 

[Smart Marx]

Jesus, that Eclipse on Sonya when she was holding Riot's leg was a recipe for disaster.
