To be fair, this is an entire week before the actual event, but yeah I get your point.

Regardless, this sounds like a pretty decent card. I really enjoyed the last Nakamura/Roode match with Nakamura's selling, the women's match features the two best women in NXT currently, and the triple threat tag should be a very hot match with two great teams and an ever improving AOP.

Really, NXT's biggest problem is that they're writing for any non-Takeover show is pretty horrid and most of those shows are completely uneventful now. Their main event scene is basically popular indie guy gets title, another popular indie guy comes in and wins title, repeat. The storytelling is also very weak overall, and has been ever since Ryan Ward and Dusty Rhodes both left/passed.

But anyway, this show should be good.

This is it. He's not a spot monkey, he's a crisp, classic wrestler in the mold of a Ted DiBiase or a pre-injury Paul Orndorff.

I'll be attending this, I'm second row on the camera side. Last year I had an awful view, I couldn't see a thing so this year is gonna be so much better.

I'm looking forward to this. It'll be my third Takeover.

A lot of people (including myself) expected this NXT TakeOver to NOT deliver... I'll take the :loss on this one because Black (that entrance though) v. Almas, AoP v. DIY v. Revival, etc. were awesome as hell!

And, on that high note... Top that, WM 33! :aj3

Welcome to the WWE main roster... Dillinger, Revival, and Nakamura (hopefully)! Plus, an appearance from Drew Galloway too!

Nakamura yes (please be Smackdown). Revival, maybe. Not much left for them to do in NXT but the tag division isn't exactly deep. And no to Dillinger. I don't know, just don't see it right now.

It's all in the build. I feel like Sanity vs. Tye and friends has been plastered all over NXT weekly episodes lately. The fact that Roode and Nakamura haven't interacted since San Antonio is crazy, and they didn't have a whole lot of face to face before San Antonio either. I think Asuka and Ember Moon have come face to face once.

The building of feuds in NXT lately is horrible. A Takeover main event has been sold purely on name value rather than an actual issue.

That said, the show itself should be great, all the talent is there. I'm looking forward to it as the first ever televised WWE event I'll attend. But, NXT is lost without Ryan Ward and Dusty, and it's never been more apparent.
