I love the shot of him sitting on the table overlooking the carnage of them working on his former partner. That's a good camera shot there.

Yeah the execution of the turn was amazing.


Better than the idea of the turn itself

 

[Gurrry]

That logo fake out totally fooled me.

Same. Was totally about to minimize it as the turn came.

Pretty good takeover. That UK match stole the show and no one really got close to that level. Final match was good but the turn was obvious and AOP are pretty shitty.

 

[Pikma]

Alright, Data West has been incredibly toxic tonight, even more so than usual

Zach, it was you who pissed him off?

 

[Data West]

now kyle oreilly is my best friend

Alright, Data West has been incredibly toxic tonight, even more so than usual

whats toxic about saying splitting up a proper tag team is a really bad idea when you already have an anemic tag team division?

 

[serenewarfare]

WWE breaking up tag teams for a dumb one month storyline that goes nowhere when they already have a very shallow tag team division as it is?


Never.

To be fair, if Vince wasn't ever going to call them up as a team, then this is the right move. Their feud is gonna be super hot with the NXT audience and It'll be it'll be a long one (probably until Survivor Series Takeover)

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

*thinks of how great the match will be between them*

*thinks of how the break up means they'll likely be called up as single competitors and will end up doing nothing on the main roster*

 

[iMax]

Cheeky Levesque and his copyright banner switcheroo!

 

[Hex]

They've lost a lot?

My prediction:
Weak link
Can't focus on what I need to do if I am worried about you

And I am calling a weird twist "I am holding you back"

 

[vatstep]

That was one of the most savage betrayals of all time

 

[Foggy]

Heel turns never really make much sense in the first place. Ciampa just going through the babyface motions for like 5 minutes before waiting for the logo to appear and THEN he turns heel. It's fake y'all. It's wrasslin. Sometimes you just gotta roll with the bullshit.

 

[Ultratech]

They lost again, they were going nowhere as a team, Johnny ate all the pins in previous matches, Ciampa had enough.

Makes perfect sense story wise.

Pretty much.

And given how close they were, they can probably make a good feud from this.

(After that is another story...)

 

[Gurrry]

These marine movies look so shitty that I HAVE to watch them. So bad that theyve gotta be good.

 

[Beefy]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

 

[Zach]

Alright, Data West has been incredibly toxic tonight, even more so than usual

Dato has a rash on his bottom. We're working through it. AS A FAMILY.

 

[RecRoulette]

It'll be an awesome feud on 205 live at least, especially when that crazy Brian Kendrick gets involved. (Just kill me now)

 

[Toki767]

NXT tag division is going to be so painful to watch for the foreseeable future.

 

[Wagram]

I just don't buy heavy machinery taking out AoP. I don't think they'll ever be super over either.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

AOP, Heavy Machinery and that's that I think.

TM61 still has one member injured and Blake and Murphy broke up.

 

[ReiGun]

Kudos on the turn. Given the crowd reaction, you can tell no one wanted #DIY to end. And the match at next Takeover will be hot.

The burial awaits

They're gonna be so great jobbing to Noam Darr.

 

[Foggy]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

People like the fat machines but I don't know if they're babyfaces or not

 

[Data West]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

AOP, Heavy Machinery, Sanity, TMDK when the one stops being injured

thats about it

 

[ShadyK54]

Putting Gargano through the tables was great, & that shot of Ciampa sitting & watching over him was 👌🏼

 

[Brinbe]

Totally forgot about the show. How's it been so far?

 

[Bronx-Man]

So I'm guessing the card for Brooklyn III is

Roode vs McIntyre
Asuka vs Ember Moon (Extreme rules maybe? Steel cage?)
AOP vs Heavy Machinery
Ciampa vs Gargano

Plus y'know, Ohno, Black, Strong, etc

 

[Ithil]

Alright, Data West has been incredibly toxic tonight, even more so than usual

Zach, it was you who pissed him off?

He saw a mirror.

 

[Beefy]

Nah, I can see Garagano making it.

 

[The Strokes]

It'll be an awesome feud on 205 live at least, especially when that crazy Brian Kendrick gets involved. (Just kill me now)

What makes you think this will be in 205? Literally no chance.

The pessimism for the sake of being a pessimist is not cool, fam.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Wait guys nxt takeover Brooklyn tickets aren't yet up for sale? I already bought Summerslam and Smackdown tickets. Do they always start sale of NXT tickets late?

 

[Zach]

I just don't buy heavy machinery taking out AoP. I don't think they'll ever be super over either.

Just let 'em go to war a few times. If it works, it works; if it don't, it don't.

 

[Sinatar]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

AOP, Heavy Machinery and Sanity.

It's dead Jim. Guess that's why it got the main event, send the division off with a bang.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Totally forgot about the show. How's it been so far?

It's over, and it was great. One MOTY, and lots of great matches and moments

 

[somedevil]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

Tm-61(injured)
Heavy Machinery
Sanity
Street preachers
Tito and Moss

 

[Data West]

He saw a mirror.

And I'm the toxic one?

 

[serenewarfare]

You guys are forgetting about the great team of Tino Sabotelli and Riddick Moss.

 

[excelsiorlef]

So what tag teams are left on NXT?

AoP and Heavy Machinery.

Problem is there's nothing left for DIY to do. Cause AoP vs HM is where they want to go so what do you do with them?


Turn makes sense.

AOP, Heavy Machinery and Sanity.

It's dead Jim. Guess that's why it got the main event, send the division off with a bang.

Sanity barely counts as a tag team imo

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

The most important thing to take away from tonight is that the UK is clearly superior to the US.

Otherwise Ciampa is a heel who you can build a brand around unlike Ruuuuuu who's a heel because he has a super over theme, overcomes injuries to win matchs, but I guess he's kind of a jerk?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

The women's division do really need Asuka out of it and I say this as a fan of her.

Lose at Brooklyn and then hopefully an immediate Smackdown call up.

 

[Zach]

He saw a mirror.

Leave him alone or I'll cut up that pretty face of yours.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

You guys are forgetting about the great team of Tino Sabotelli and Riddick Moss.

One is Vince's wet dream and the other was the guy who fucked Itami up.

 

[Data West]

AoP and Heavy Machinery.

Problem is there's nothing left for DIY to do. Cause AoP vs HM is where they want to go so what do you do with them?


Turn makes sense.

send them to the main roster. lack of tag teams isnt an nxt exclusive problem

 

[Beefy]

The women's division do really need Asuka out of it and I say this as a fan of her.

I wonder were all the women wrestlers from the tourny will go?

 

[Syder]

I kind of feel justified not watching NXT week-to-week and only watching TakeOvers.

Only Bate/Dunne and AoP/DIY met/exceeded expectations tonight for me.

 

[serenewarfare]

send them to the main roster. lack of tag teams isnt an nxt exclusive problem

Can't send them there if Vince doesn't want them there.

 

[RecRoulette]

What makes you think this will be in 205? Literally no chance.

The pessimism for the sake of being a pessimist is not cool, fam.

Because Gargano and Ciampa debuted in the Cruiserweight Classic? Their NXT feud is going to be awesome, but afterwards...yeah.

 

[Professor Beef]

I wonder were all the women wrestlers from the tourny will go?

205 Dive

 

[Pikma]

DIY was always a placeholder tag team, both Ciampa and Gargano have said it, Johnny even said he preferred working singles but was happy to continue for as long as they were asked to just because of how over they were together.

 

[excelsiorlef]

send them to the main roster. lack of tag teams isnt an nxt exclusive problem

Would you rather a hot feud with a great matches or DIY dying on the main roster tag division?

Look what happened to American Alpha

Main Roster has tag teams. Main Roster just doesn't really care about tag teams.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I wonder were all the women wrestlers from the tourny will go?

NXT. Plus there's rumors they want a women's show.

 

[serenewarfare]

Because Gargano and Ciampa debuted in the Cruiserweight Classic? Their NXT feud is going to be awesome, but afterwards...yeah.

No. They debuted in the Dusty Classic the year before the CWC. They were also in the CWC as well.

 

[KissVibes]

Don't worry guys. NXT seems light on tag teams but then THE BRISCOES SHOW UP AND WE GOT OURSELVES A NEW TOP BABYFACE TEAM.
