RIPPA Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Also - someone put on the Takeover wiki page that the name of it will be "Revenge" But their "source" for that makes no mention of the word revenge so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 And 6/8 is a Wednesday so that's NXT's regular time slot and I believe most Takeover's are Wednesdays outside of the super duper special ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 My fantasy booking for that title is the Revival do something heinous to get the titles off of American Alpha, leading to a main event of Revival v. Alpha in a 2 of 3 falls match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Well also (per Meltzer) the plan was always to have Bayley go on another redemption run and be the one to get the title off of Asuka and hand her her first loss That would fit a "revenge" motif (though that angle would be better served for Summerslam again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 And per Tim - Takeover sold out in less than a minute Of course - I am assuming that yet again, a lot of those ended up in the hands of scalpers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I don't get why they would have Bayley beat Asuka unless she isn't getting called up until next year. That would be a way to really make someone down the road by being the first to beat Asuka. Bayley doesn't need the win, and if she was going to beat Asuka it should've been the first match with Asuka playing nice because Bayley didn't disrespect her like other opponents before they got murdered. Then have Asuka be way more aggressive after her first loss. I like the Revenge name because there's two title rematches coming, but I really hope we get a Joe/Nakamura match instead of another Joe/Balor match. I think Alpha and the Revival have a better match in them than the really good one they had in Dallas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Samurai Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Has there ever been a 2x NXT title holder? Putting the title back on Bayley in June would be counterproductive as she's as ready as she'll ever be and clearly over with the main audience without even stepping foot in a WWE event. Hotshotting the title to Bayley for a month before she gets called up goes against the grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I wouldn't see why they'd have Asuka drop the title before the Japan tour either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bayley has followed Sami's rise for the most part, minus the temptation to cheat against Neville. It isn't surprising she's now trying to become the first 2x NXT champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think every champ tries to become the first 2x champ. But it's a nice segue for them to get to the main roster. Murphy & Blake are hosed at this point. On another note- I still can't tell which one is Blake and which one is Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think Blake is the one whose tights don't say "Murphy." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuka drops the title, goes to the main roster, kills Charlotte, and defends the WWE Women's Title in Japan. If the next Takeover is Revenge and is about Bayley's revenge, I'd like to have Asuka get one more successful clean win over Bayley during the tapings, which then forces Bayley to do something she dreads doing to get back her title. Have Bayley join forces with Nia Jax and Eva Marie. Heel Bayley, obsessed with being the first 2x champion in NXT, could be lots of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you could have Emma/Charlotte/Bayley on the heel side and Becky/Sasha/Nattie on the face side 24 minutes ago, Technico Support said: Izzy would be in therapy for years That would make for an interesting episode of Breaking Ground.

zev Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I hope that Izzy has friends that are supportive of her interest in the biz. Seriously, a young fan who is the occasional subject of internet conversation needs allies that are all, "Been there, done that, got free t-shirts." Friends like Angry Miz Girl and HHH & Steph's kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Jesus fuck the last thing Izzy needs is to hang around the Levesque/McMahon kids. Granted Trips, Steph, and Shane all seem demonstrably less fucked-in-the-head than Vince is and you can hope their kids reflect that, but that's still an awfully low bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
