NXT UK Dad doesn't need to talk he just uses facial expressions to convene his message like southern dads do.
Johnny Saint should be the Jack Tunney of NXT UK. Just have him hand his judgments from on high via taped video segments.

Lochy Hendricks from Australia did as well, but nobody is sure whether it's true or he is joking/running an angle...

Very cool moment for Toni but honestly surprised that she won. I figured we would get a few months more of Rhea the UK bully, who has been fantastic in her role. Either way, nice match and cool to see Jazzy and Kay Lee Ray in attendance.
That was the one result I was close to 100% certain of. Toni is NXT UK while Rhea is in Orlando and was basically fill in champion because the timing of the tournament didn't fit with making Toni champion at the time.

KLR is signed to WOS as well. When do those contracts run out?
Dave only said "soon" in the Observer. I'm guessing not before the WOS tour though.

Love how Pete Dunne is dressed like he is getting ready for the Revolutionary War while Tyler Bate is just waiting for the girls and the pot to arrive. Trent Seven is that healthy mix of the two.

Wasn't there just one main one? The guy that smeared shit all over and then on a later occasion turned up with a gun.

Where is the UK performance centre based? Skim read and couldn't find any details
Enfield, according to Reddit, but they're trying to keep the location somewhat secret after the incidents with the psycho at the PC in Orlando.

This could be awesome, the problem is that WWE very rarely puts any effort into making it's tournaments any good. It's basically "so the fans like tournaments? Well, here is something we slapped together in 2 minutes and where nobody will be trying very hard".

Don't know if Joe Coffey is the guy to be champion but it would be a huge deal.
I would assume that the big news from the show is WALTER appearing in the front row
I'm expecting him to do more than appear.

Some of the things he said though did happen. Like the healthcare thing.
How has healthcare happened? They've already backed down on those claims

Kris Wolf, Delilah Doom, Lufisto. Cheerleader Melissa (once her LU contract ends), Jazzy Gabert, Nicole Savoy
Only one I would consider is Savoy, and from what little I've seen she's regressed significantly since her injury.
I'd say Allisyn Kay and Kylie Rae are no brainers, Jordynne Grace too if she isn't under contract with Impact. Don't see them signing more than 4 or 5 regulars in total, so I'd look to add some lower profile talents as part timers. Someone like Samantha Heights, Willow Nightingale and AQA.

I’d say production costs for one? They’re gonna wanna look major league so that would be a huge chunk.
You literally just said they had to be getting a huge TV deal to "offset the costs". Are production costs somehow not a part of "the costs"?

They have to have a huge TV deal in the works. They have to. How else are they gonna offset the costs then?
its already been reported that they’re gonna run a limited live event schedule. So it has to be a TV deal.
If they were getting a huge TV deal that's going to pay for everything, why would Khan need to invest $100 million?
I have to say I'm skeptical of the TV rumours. Both because historically TV deal rumours are bullshit 99% of the time, and also because if they were so close as they're letting on I have to believe they would have waited to make the announcement until it was locked down.

EC3 doesn't really fit in NXT, same as Chelsea Green isn't going to. Their strengths are character work and doing whatever's necessary to get a storyline over. That doesn't really work in NXT where in-ring is about 95% of what gets you over. Put him on RAW and he'll be fine.

I dunno man the scientists say it's possible and that this kind of "pulsing" happens. And it also sounds like they don't believe he could have gotten any benefit from this.
I'm choosing to just go with whatever the experts say because a) I don't know much about the science of drug testing and b) I don't actually care about PEDs in sports and don't think less of people who take them. Take 'em all, I say
What scientists? UFC has said "world class scientists" told them, but not named any of them from what I have seen, which basically sounds like a Trump quote.
As for "pulsing", please explain how after 18 months the result is actually HIGHER than it was originally? His original failure was 20-80 and now it's somehow 60?

Okay, so reading the story at the link, it sounds like it could be something residual from what he took in 2017. So my immediate very loud "LOLLLLL Jon Jones" reaction was not entirely justified.
Please, residual my ass.
When even the NSAC is calling bullshit on them, you know UFC and USADA are truly fucking corrupt.
Edit:
UPDATE as of 6:05pm central time:
Jones was tested three times by USADA in 2018. USADA is saying they can’t explain why these trace amounts didn’t show up until this latest one. They are claiming an “unknown natural” factor suppressed the steroid the first three test, but it somehow wasn’t able to suppress the trace amounts this fourt round of testing. (Coincidentally, this last round of tests happened around the time Jones thought he was exempt from the last testing pool).-

My guess is from NXT men you'll probably get 3 of these: Ricochet, Ciampa, Gargano, Aleister Black, or Adam Cole (Bay Bay) (or another an Undisputed Era). I'd say Riddle is a hair too new and they still want to wash the Bellator off him
Of the NXT women, I'd hazard a guess that 3 of these: Baszler, Shirai, Bianca Belair, Candice LaRae, or Kairi. I'd have added Dakota Kai, but she's hurt.
I wouldn't use Bianca here. She has such star potential that she shouldn't be seen on the main roster until she is ready for a huge push.

What do they do with Paige now? A manager perhaps? Shane's assitant?
I'm guessing she's taking time off to promote the movie.

F4W is reporting Jonah Rock is another signee for next month.
So they've signed WALTER, ACH, Shane Strickland, Trevor Lee and Jonah Rock. Anyone else?Ilja Dragunov is rumoured. He dropped a booking the same day as the NXTUK Takeover. Also some TNA guy I can't remember ever hearing of; Sam Shaw or something like that?

I'm sure he will be the centerpiece of whatever NXT are doing in Germany as well.

What is surprising to me is that Walter was signed by NXT UK. I expected him to get better deal than to get signed to 4-5th tier WWE show.
He has no interest in moving to the US.
-
By pure coincidence I'm sure, this is two weeks before the WOS show in the same place.
-
If rumours about the recent German tryout are true we might get NXT UK and NXT Germany/Europe as a block when they run out of double episodes. Their Wednesday block on the network seems to be doing very well for them, surprisingly with 205 Live as the least watched show.

Eye Candy is Willow Nightingale who is really talented. She's been breaking through on the east coast indies like Beyond the last few months.
