Is the next Takeover so soon? Thought it would be at WM only

Meh...
Being able to introduce Nakamura on Raw as "former NXT champion"
Do you think they do a match at the rumble or tape or do a show at the Japan shows?

Nah, one for the weekend of every big 4 now.
They really protect the reigns with the NXT belt, I don't think they'd trade it back and forth like that.

It was a great show tonight but the OG Samoa Joe music playing was probably my favorite moment of the night.
Thought so
They need draws for their touring brand.

Assuming we have a rematch at the royal rumble NXT that Nak wins... I guess he's really not making it wrestlemania next year.
God what a drag.

Call Joe up still as NXT champ and give him the Conor McGregor storyline and win the Smackdown title against AJ.

Do you want me to die? I might start watching again.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The reason I don't like the finish is that it suggests they plan to do another Joe/Nakamura match for TakeOver Houston.
The other option is that they plan to have Nak get the title in Japan at the NXT Japan tour.

Was that a theme song botch or its intentional to play 2 different Joe themes?

Give Joe the KO treatment and debut with the title please.

Botch. They played his first theme on accident

Owens and Paige came up when they had belts in NXT, so there's a shot Joe can come up.
No
Can't we have him eat Miz instead? (Plus, Paige technically already did it).

I fired up the network to watch from the beginning. The live feed was the main event finish.

They wanted to show the duality of Joe.
Tye interview after the match:

I didn't start any Benoit or trump chants, marks.
However, I WAS channeling some dudes in the row behind me. Annoying AF just yelling insider terms and trying to start "THIS IS OK" chants when people were chanting this is awesome.
During the Nakamura match Joe got a cross face and they starting chanting Chris Benoit. Believe it or not some people actually joined in. Then they started the trump chant
Still an amazing show. Wish strong style was victorious, though

There is nobody on the current NXT roster that could believably challenge Joe for the belt, thats the problem with him being there so long. Nakamura is the only person that can take the belt back without it losing any prestige right now.
But whatever happens in the 3rd go around, that needs to be it. Maybe the belt gets vacated.

I just realized we're gonna have a billion more rematches for the NXT title now.

NXT tends to be a little better than the main shows at rematches and often has them on the weekly programs so I could see somebody like Rooooo picking up the belt in a 4 way at the next Takeover.
yep. Hopefully they can still do the women cwc that is supposedly coming up.
Always thought they'd get neutered here, but those two deserve international attention.
Sad Tye
Fuck. And at a time when all three shows need more women.
That Women's Tournament needs to happen asap.
That show, as a whole, might be my favorite NXT show this year, narrowly beating out Dallas. That Nakamura/Sami match is still my favorite NXT match of the year, but this card top to bottom delivered. Even the TM61/AoP match which I had zero expectations for delivered. Really really good show and probably the best wrestling crowd I've ever seen.
Wonder what it must have felt like to be Tye in the locker room after his match and hearing TEN chants during the entire 2 hours afterwards.

Io and Kairi turned the contracts down?!
Fuck!
That was like...one of the only things that woulda got me interested in watching wrestling more than like once every 4 months

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
I could see Nakamura staying in NXT for continuing to push network subs in Japan or moving him up to Raw/Smackdown to help ratings.
Either way, having two undefeated champions was getting repetitive so something had to give. This really helps at putting Joe on the same level too, so I thought it was great.

I wanna be optimistic and think he'll win the belt back for the Japan tours. I was really hoping Joe would be called up after this.

The Revival just keep doing it, every Takeover. Once again having the best match of the night.
Another great show, which really shouldn't come to a surprise to anyone paying attention to NXT for the past two years but people keep thinking the weekly program has any real effect on these shows.
hngg the smoothness. Top Fucking Guys.
