I haven't been keeping up with NXT since Shinsuke bounced. I'm really going into this blind, lol.
Me too man. I like Sanitys thing they got going on. The U.K. Title match should be the best match. DIY is never in a bad match. So the ladder match should be fun.

To be fair, not much overly interesting happening
It's funny that they've still got good, solid workers, but we're so spoiled by SmackDown that we just don't pay any attention to anything else.

Not a big follower of NXT, but their Takeover shows usually pump out great matches. That Triple Threat Tag Team match at the last one was amazing

Been keeping up with it, just cos in terms of the actual in-ring work it is still better than Raw and I would say just as good, if not better, than Smackdown.

Sanity is looking like a good faction for the future. Eric Young is a great worker, and I saw Killian Dain on the British indies and he is a great worker for a guy his size. Seems like they are gonna have them feud some of the midcard talent using their numbers advantage for a while.

Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne is a match that should be brilliant. I'm still a bit pissed at how the WWE brought them on board, but they are fantastic wrestlers who deserve to be at the top.

Authors of Pain vs #DIY , if its anything like the tag team matches at any of the Takeovers, gonna be amazing

Asuke vs Ruby Riot vs Nikki Cross . Bit disappointed about this purely cos of a lack of character development. We know Asuka and what she is about. We know Nikki is crazy, but not really much apart from that, while Ruby Riot has had almost 0 character built around her other than the fact she is up for fighting.

Roode vs Itami I think has the potential to be a great match but I would say it's not a match I feel is a must see which is disappointing really

*My stream is likely horribly delayed*

I do love a good elbow drop from the top rope

It's so easy to forget that Tyler Bate is 20 when you see how good he is in the ring

Simply incredible - The standard of British wrestling has seriously improved over the past 20 years

I'd be surprised if they had Asuka drop the title tbh, they've been mentioning her undefeated record in NXT and it's coming up to Goldberg's WCW one

Edit - Nevermind, turns out Asuka has already passed it with a 175-0 record apparently
