NXT TakeOver: New York Live Thread

Lithium93_

Weird TakeOver being on the Friday instead of the Saturday before a big PPV, but I digress, haven't really kept up with NXT that much, but the card is looking absolutely incredible.

And said card is as follows.

Tag team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship
War Raiders (c) vs. Aleister Black and Ricochet

Singles match for the WWE United Kingdom Championship
Pete Dunne (c) vs. Walter

Fatal 4-Way match for the NXT Women's Championship
Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Io Shirai vs. Bianca Belair vs. Kairi Sane

Singles match for the NXT North American Championship
Velveteen Dream (c) vs. Matt Riddle

Two-out-of-three falls match for the vacant NXT Championship
Johnny Gargano vs. Adam Cole

Looking forward to this would be kind of odd if Ricochet/Black won the titles being on the main roster too. A gargano loss with him moving up to the main roster full time ???

Pre show kicks off at 23.00 with main show at midnight

Cant wait for this exhausted after a long week so may skip it live unless i can get a nap in cause the card is best of the weekend i feel

Lord TSC

That card looks utterly insane.

Gargano winning is best I think. He can carry NXT for another 3/6 months while Cole losing completely frees the undisputed era to move on up. I haven't been following it but feels like the group have been lost in the shuffle a bit.

Necro

Looking forward to this. Makes Mania week all the more real.

Compared to the Wrestlemania card, TakeOver looks all killer.

I've a conundrum on my hands, ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard or TakeOver.

Split screen it? One on TV one on laptop/other device if that's workable.

Or watch the G1 live and NXT tomorrow instead of HOF maybe. I know I'll be taking a break from it anyways or I'll be burned out by Sunday.

Why choose? Takeover is tonight and G1 is tomorrow night

Oh thank god, I thought the two would be on simultaneously on Saturday morning.

DrumSteve

Walter and Pete Dunne should be the highlight

Thank God is right would have picked G1 over NXT all day but still glad they got separated, by far and away the two best cards of the weekend.

Black & Rick O Shea to be double tag team champs by the end of the weekend.

Dumb question I should be able to look up myself but does the main card start at midnight or is that a pre show?

So it doesn't clash with NJPW/ROH tomorrow.

Thought wwe would combat them by putting NXT on the same night???

Attendances prob the issue

CastorTroy

They know the HoF would have a better shot at beating G1.

PTH2009

Feck went to the pub at 8pm and still out

Sure still have a while til the main show

Necro

Who's the weirdo in the centre of the pre show panel. Don't like him tbh.

Talking about Matt Riddle choking tonight is a tad bizarre when you're trying to sell a match I would have thought.

Charley looking well.

Yeah that's the fella. How is he floating around? Hes like what everyone views wrestling fans as stereotypically.
