Dream vs. Dunne vs. Strong and Riddle vs. Dain are the matches I'm most into right now.

Spoiler

 

Would have preferred Dream to 1 on 1 with either guy to a triple threat, but the match should be good.

Shayna/Yim should be good, I just hope its the end of Shayna's run. I don't love Yim's character, but she has been delivering match wise and would hopefully have her reign end abruptly to heel Io anyways.

The Breakout Final not having Garza Jr. just feels dumb. Garza/Myles would have been my preferred final.

Your main event for NXT Takeover Toronto will be a Three Stages of Hell match (kinda):

Finally, the return of the Duchess of Queensbury Rules match.

[Craig H]

Oh Jesus...NXT is above Regal turning into a heel GM...right? Maybe I'm just too used to dumb shit happening on the main roster.

[MonteCarl]

Has there ever been two women's matches on the same Takeover card before? 

[nofuture]

Off the top of my head, Asuka went against Dana Brooke and Emma on Takeovers before she was champ.

[Hail Sabin]

Yep and Bayley defended the belt on those shows. 

[Ramo2653]

Apparently the last one had Ember Moon vs. Billie Kay at Takeover Brooklyn II.

Pete Dunne needs to never be shot from beneath again.

My god.

Getting for the show by doing my binge watching of NXT and started with Takeover.  Fuck I am not looking forward to this 2/3 falls title match.  I mean I am sure that the crowd will love it but I hit the pause button on Gargano/Cole after maybe the 25th super kick and head drop and saw I still had 15 minutes on it.    these matches are booked for a Bullet Club fan base and it can be exhausting.

Hope Myles and Grimes gets a decent amount of time as it should be really good

Yeah, the main event is kind of the opposite of a draw for me since it has every possibility of being exhausting. I’m hoping the live crowd energy will carry me through.

Man, Hunter has the worst god damned taste in music. 

 

[Casey]

You Should See Me in a Crown by Billie Eilish was a good choice, and one of those rare moments when WWE was actually in tune with the music zeitgeist going on at the time.

I'm convinced HHH lost a bet to a gay intern because no one else in Titan Towers probably knows who Billie Eilish is.

I don't think anyone is choosing these themes based on how much they enjoy them. I am a little curious about how those deals are worked out - WWE isn't shilling whichever Imagine Dragons clone it is this month without getting paid.

There is no way I believe that he actually listens to most of the bands they use. I mean at least Slipknot is marginally close to Motorhead in an opening act on a tour kind of way.    I am willing to bet that Gabe and/or Albert  is responsible for half of this shit

Agree with the majority sentiment on SlipKnot and on Gargano/Cole 3.

Gargano has lost steam since dropping the title and the fans weren't as hot for him at the tapings when he came out and attacked Cole. It's time for him to move onto 205 Live after this and for Cole to begin his new feud against someone else.

[hammerva]

Well clearly the end goal is Cole vs Ciampa.   It is just a question of how long they can wait before we get a healthy version of him.  Seems like it is months away

I bet he heard of her through his daughters.

[The Natural]

I won't be watching this one live.

[Dolfan in NYC]

BTW, any word on what the 3rd stip is?  I can only imagine it's either Cage or Loser Leaves NXT (which would make Gargano moving on to the main roster a mortal lock).
