Cannot wait! its been such a long time since I was excited for every single match :)

I'm interested to read what everyones predictions are, I can see Neville defeating Zayn uncleanly (after what will be pretty much guaranteed a great match), almost immediately Owens will run out and beat the $hit out of Neville, getting a huge pop from the crowd who've been wanting to see him taken out for a few weeks now.

As the crowd are eating up Owens, he turns and continues with a promo along the same lines of his vignette "I'll fight anyone/you both suck/ i've been wrestling alongside both of you for years and i've always been the better/ gtfo Zayne so i can take down Neville like a real rassler etc etc", this allows Zayne to leave for the main roster, and a feud between Owens and Neville begins.

I'd LOVE to see a Owens/Zayn feud as its probably one of my favorites ever from the indies, but it would pretty much just be done for the smarks and doesn't seem likely the more i think of it.

NXT continues to win!

Holy crap, this actually feels special and like a big event, unlike the monthly, extended Raw episodes called PPVs we get.
Spot fucking on.

I can't wait.

Fucking stoked for this one! Yea, the main event is a little predictable, but you just know those two are gonna tear the house down. Really looking forward to Steen's debut. And I'm almost certain Sasha will be the new women's champ, maybe with the aid of a heel-turning Bayley perhaps?

Rich Brennan said Zayn would have to leave NXT, not WWE. I don't think Zayn winning the title is that obvious, especially when you consider how close he is to being brought up to the main roster. The NXT champion has always been booked long-term and it wouldn't make any sense to take the title off Neville and give it to Zayn just for a month or two. The title needs to go to someone who's going to be there for another year or so, like Corbin, Owens or possibly Bálor.

Balor ain't gonna be in NXT for another year. I think he's up most Mania Raw at the latest.

I think Sami could win it at REvolution, and then lose it first set of tapings - so he could both fulfill his quest while still being the sympathetic underdog.

I wonder who will get the t-shirt treatment come this show - I'm thinking Balor and Itami for sure, maybe with Zayn and Neville getting their respective second offerings. Sasha Banks should have one if she doesn't already. Corbin would probably sell a lot as well.

Kevin Owens with some "Last Outlaw"-themed portent. I'm certainly in favor of that.

I can't imagine how they will debut him. Honestly, I would rather prefer if Owens/Zayn was saved for the main roster--that is, if it was booked with any modicum of thought or respect.

All said, this show seems very promising.

Couldn't agree more. Just a shame that PPV's themselves make the E so much money because in reality in reality having these PPVs every 3 weeks not only help the build of the overall show but give the NXT weekly episodes themselves more hype. Extra title matches and big main events happen since they ain't trying to cash in all the time.

How come this feels like a big PPV and it's not even a PPV? But then, NXT has done that all year. This is an absolutely amazing looking card and I hyped and impatient and can't wait to watch more of the real "A" show from the WWE.

This show is gonna be awesome. Even looking forward to the divas match! How awesome is that? Plus, the debut of Kevin Owens! I wonder what he'll be doing. Something tells me he'll either help or cost Zayn the title. How awesome will that be!?
