Re: NXT Takeover: London, Corbin challenges Crews
Corbin needs to win clean here, handing Crews his first loss. Both could gain from a solid feud here.

If he wins, he should not win clean.
Re: NXT Takeover: London, Corbin challenges Crews
I enjoyed that promo. Corbin needs to win here, because he has yet to win the big one at a live special. He won some irrelevant mid card feuds against Dempsey and Rhyno, but he submitted to Joe and didn't win the tournament, so ending Apollo's streak would do wonders for his momentum going into the title picture.

Corbin should win here.
I wonder if they are brave enough to do it though.

Hoping for Jordan/Gable vs The Mechanics. Not feeling much about the rest of the card so far. Apart from this obviously.

No Brits on the current NXT roster - huh. Any that could make their debut from the PC? Hugo Knox ready for television?

Phil "Philthy" Taylor of Motorhead died today, he drummed on the classic theme song...
MY predicted card:
-Main event: Balor vs Joe for the NXT title
-Bayley vs Alexa vs either Nia Jax or Eva Marie in a triple threat for the women's title (Eva still gets booed out of the building if she is in the match)
-Dash/Dawson vs Jordan/Gable for the tag titles
-Corbin vs Crews
-Asuka vs Emma (I personally can't wait for this match) :smile2:
I don't know if there will be more matches added, but I can definitely see these matches happening.

I'd be ok with corbin going over. I've never really been a big fan of the whole "oh this new guy is so good and awesome and he has a really long winning streak to start his career" angle.
it's nice to see how much more lone wolf is liked (or at least appreciated) on here now compared to several months ago.

I just hope they're not seriously planning to put Eva Marie in a 1-on-1 match with Bayley. Sure, the atmosphere would be incredible, but that could turn into an epic trainwreck. Eva will be in the mix, but then at least make it a 4-way with Alexa and Nia or something like that.
Hopefully Gable & Jordan will be as over in the UK as they are in Florida. These two vs Dash & Dawson for the gold could easily main event that show (even though they obviously won't).

I think something like that could definitely end up happening for the women's title. I was going through the whole roster and the only ones I could justifiably see as viable threats to the title are: emma, dana, asuka, nia, alexa and *shudders* eva. assuming emma and asuka meet in london (which was my initial prediction. and is this confirmed, btw?) that only leaves eva (who according to spoilers from the last tapings asks for and is granted a match at the next set I can't see getting a one on one match in such a high scale), alexa (who gets a singles match next week), dana (who hasn't done much since getting ASUKA'ed) and nia (who's spent the last few weeks throwing girls around the ring a whole bunch)
I'm still going with my prediction of a number one contenders battle royal(e) at the next tapings and they could go with the tried but true formula of "both wrestlers feet touch the floor" a'la breeze, zayn and kidd last year and luger/hart in 1994 and have some combination of alexa, nia and (fuck, I can't believe I'm typing this) eva marie vs bayley in london.
or they could surprise us and not do any of that.

Bayley/Alexa should be great too. Finn's match will be a pissbreak for me.

Takeover live from my home countries capital and then straight out the door for the Star Wars midnight opening.
Best day of the year.

More or less exactly my plan although I'll be doing it on the next day afternoon for Star Wars.
The TakeOver card is certainly starting to take shake.
I think they will do what they did for Brooklyn as well and tape a NXT episode just for some extra matches as that episode will be a recap show mainly.
