    I don’t even watch NXT UK and am buzzing. A bloody Takeover in Dublin!

    Figure this will need its own thread long term. So Let’s Go!

    I was excited last night when I saw Takeover Dublin till I later saw it was NXT UK.

    Not so excited anymore.

    NXT UK is well worth a watch if you dont, some quality talent in there
    and a Takeover of any kind coming here is huge!

    Devlin may headline?

    Although Walter title match would be incredible

    The UK Takeovers are pretty great, I've been to Cardiff live and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to go to this.

    However do not bother with the TV tapings that usually go along with it, made that mistake in Cardiff and spent nearly 5 hours there watching matches with people I'd never heard of.

    No presale options yet on 3plus

    This is prob the closet we will ever get to a PPV

    Parents will bring kids along cause its WWE, some die hards like myself and some her will go and then possibly we will have the bandwagoners as it will be advertised a lot

    They might add a DX appearance (as Triple H and HBK are producers) or an angry Finn Balor

    NXT UK Takeover Dublin? But Dublin isn't in the UK...
    The Sinn Fein voters won't be happy about this.

    Looking forward to this since it won't be like a regular WWE house show that we normally get where every match is phoned in.

    Biggest WWE show to come here in I dont know how long
    with the 3arena set up they should be able to bring decent production levels too

    Surely Finn will be on the card? Imagine if they could get Becky onto it somehow.

    It will be the first televised WWF/WWE event ever from Ireland.

    This is a big deal for Irish wrestling fans imo and shows how much respect the wrestling has for us

    This is the biggest show in this country since the RDS show in the summer of 2005.

    Still sore about that ha

    Remember I won a pair of tickets to this but found out to late and a 15 year old me wasant up to trailing around Dublin to pick them up as It was too late to deliver them. Ah well seen a lot of shows since then all great

    Hotel prices have gone up a bit for the 26th April. I have a room booked in the Mayson hotel for €125.10 for the night. Location cant get any better

    What do y’all think they do in terms of layout for the show? Just use the usual house show set, or something fancier? Presumably they will have to put more room round the ring for commentary tables and the likes.

    Could've gotten a room for a night in the Abbey Court on Bachelor's Walk for around €25.

    Be interesting what layout they will use but NXT UK shows normally have that indie/house show style setups. Probably the sections in front of Block C/D/E will be pushed up to make room for the commentary booths etc

    I know it's the brand and all but I would be surprised if none of the Irish guys don't point it out to them. Maybe have "Ireland" stamped over "UK". Sure they even have Killian Dain in NXT with a backstory of growing up in the troubles.

    I won't be going but good to see a PPV coming here. HHH mentioned on the post show Dublin fans are loud.

    Jordon Devlin, Tucker, Moustache Mountain among others have had matches at wwe live events here in recent times with average enough crowd interest. Possible they weren't known too well by the crowd and the matches were at a different tempo to the main roster ones

    This could be different as they would be known by a lot and the show would be at a similar tempo.

    There will be those ignorant people there who will be wondering when Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Becky, John cena etc be coming out. Parents bringing kids need to be aware of this
