    Nxt U.K. takeover is live on Sunday at 5pm Irish time

    If you haven't watched this, you really should. It's up there with the best hype videos I've ever seen. Gets you invested in every angle. Really really enjoyed it.

    Someone on Reddit says that Devlin confirmed it was.

    Belair V Rhipley at Takeover Portland.....ah well, I guess the likes of Candace and Io will have to content themselves somehow.

    You're likely right but as it stands it could be Ripley or Storm.

    Any word on if Shelley is signed?

    Nice to see Kacy back. Dunno if permanently.
    When they mentioned her getting eliminated during a break, I looked up Indi Hartwell and saw she joined the same time as Shotzi and Scarlett, but Scarlett was the only of those not in it.
    Wonder if Carolina is going to stay masked. Looked like she was meant to land on the apron.

    Not liking this trend of having the Takeover on a Sunday. First UK and now Portland

    meant to say as well, looks like Xia Li hurt Bianca this week. If so, she seems to cause more injuries in matches than having matches without injuries.

    Did she ? I mean in a recent sheamus workout on his YouTube channel it's clear that she is strong as an ox and is good in the ring but the use a stone cold quote she "lays her **** in" and is a bit snug.

    Yeah, just before she got eliminated. It seems like Bianca was just selling the kick but also seemed to be a bit dazed to the point the ref checked on her. May have been Bianca's fault for not blocking properly.

    I like Xia's stiff kicks. If there is one thing women wrestlers are still absolutely abysmal at it is striking. 99% look terrible.

    The punches(sorry forearm strikes) of some women's wrestler look bad.

    I'm watching the women's battle royal from this week and I've just seen the moment you were talking about and the kick was a good kick but I can see where it might have caught bianca as she reacted as if it caught her. Hopefully it's just a case of the two of working well together so as to make it believable.

    Btw I'm sure I've said it before but Io Shirai is a goddess. Nice to see Tegan nox back and is the knee with the brace no longer on it the first one she injured ? If it's is the war games removal was a great way to remove the brace.

    DIY vs moustache mountain on Saturday could be epic

    I can see MM ending up the way Gargano and Ciampa did with Bate and Seven having an epic rivalry

    The new UK title looks the same as the old one, except the WWE logo has been changed to NXT. Now matches the women's title.

    Worlds Collide on tonight

    Buzzing for this

    I'd love if they done a follow up version of this event in the UK. I'd make the trip over for it

    Never had much of an interest in Ilja Dragunov but definitely been a bit swayed after that match.
    Finn was stiff AF in the finish with him, guessing it's a receipt for a possible broken nose.

    The scouse accent is perfect for a wrestling heel.

    What a disgusting, phlegm-y sound it makes.

    If crowd reactions have proven anything today it's than no one is watching NXT UK.
    New title design could mean a new champ maybe

    The new tv deal might help it a bit

    205 live and NXT UK are probably the least watched wwe stuff

    Wrestling exhausting really

    Even though I know the UK crew are essentially unknown it's still interesting they're in town on Rumble weekend. Could see Bate or Walter getting a decent reaction if they were in the rumble

    For sure I genuinely thought 205 Live had been cancelled it's so underpromoted at this point. They do seem to be trying to create a bit more hype around NXT UK lately at least. Mind you I don't watch either of those two shows. There's just too much wrestling, literally binged and skimmed through weeks of NXT to be up to date for tonight.

    That's unreal. Always seemed like a good possibility but thought it might have just been wishful thinking.
