I don't think there is anything for him to gain from being brought back to NXT. He only got hired to help NXT crowds and work with the kids there, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's going to transition from wrestler to occasional wrestler to a coach. If that's the case and he helps people out then that's not a bad gig to have at all. I selfishly want him to be pushed to the moon but if he's happy with things then who am I to judge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Also you are seeing the issue with running 5 match shows where you defend all three of your titles everytime It is really hard to get all the "important" people on the card Plus - they were probably told they couldn't have any 3 or 4 ways on this card due to the Summerslam Main Event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The only thing that bugs me about Ohno's look is the jersey/tiny tights combo. If he wrestled sans shirt like the indies it wouldn't bother me, but if he's going to wear the jersey I wish he'd go with some shorts too. It's a small nitpick, though.

Basketball shorts would work better than the trunks, but we can't have two guys with the initials KO both wearing basketball shorts. How will the WWE Universe tell them apart? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well assuming that because Strong got the win against Galloway by DQ (Roode hit Roddy first) and is guaranteed a title show next then wouldn't make you think that we are going to get some fuck finish in the main event that allows Roode to keep the title involving Roderick strong That sounds like something they would do at Summerslam. Hell that sounds like something they would 2 or 3 times at Summerslam. That isn't NXT's strategy. Can't really remember one of those kind of finishes.

They never bothered to properly turn Asuka, and Ember doesn't have nearly the amount of crowd support, so I'm not sure how happy the crowd would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I feel for anyone who was stuck at MCO that long. It is one of the dingiest airports I've ever been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yeah based on the crowd reaction last week on TV, Ember isn't as much as sympathetic person to finish a show on. Unless they are finally putting Asuka on the main roster and this is end of show ceremony. Like most Takeover shows we should see a major debut tonight. Are we finally going to see Adam Cole in NXT? Maybe Donovan Dijak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Cole is pretty much guaranteed. Interestingly the British Strong Style lads, Mark Andrews & Wolfgang have traveled with the NXT crew to Brooklyn, I'm wondering if they could squeeze a surprise UK Title match on the show.
