Punishment Martinez, basically seems like Baron Corbin before he shaved his head.

Tyler is 31. He shouldn't be treated like and getting called a veteran.

I don't think him coming down to NXT purely to put over talent works for anyone, again I'll hold off on judgement early days yet but still. Doesn't feel right.

Shayna wins again

sky88

He has been with wwe for 10 years I’d call that being a veteran

J. Marston

Io is fúcking great.

True but he has't been relevant in much of his tenure including recently. Aliyah has been signed for Six and a half years, much longer than Bianca Belair would anyone consider Aliyah putting her over as a veteran. I don't think a lengthy tenure is all it takes to be considered a veteran in wrestling.


Also Stephanie McMahon just pointed to a Macho Man t-shirt, enjoy internet.

Announcement is NXT UK Takeover Cardiff Sat 31st Aug

Ireland playing Wales the same day over there in a world cup warm up game

Tempting ha

johnnysmack

Adam Cole vs captain marvel!

J. Marston

Gargano and his Marvel cosplays are one of my wrestling pet hates. Every single Takeover he does it.

ThePott

Same day as AEW's All Out in Chicago.
Didn't see a venue mentioned, hope it does well but not sure if NXT UK moves many people's needle.

ThePott

BAYBAY!

sky88

Great main event

And of course another great takeover

The White Wolf

"The King Ghidorah of NXT."

"The 3 headed dragon."

Just love that man.

The White Wolf

Not sure if the deafening support of Velveteen is a tribute to his talent or a warning to what can happen when you go to the main roster.

The White Wolf

**** sake.....still Baszler. Thought that was the right time for Io.

Edit well at least that post match attack was something....hope they're not going to do some bull**** injury angle to let Baszler drop the title they already did that with Asuka.

The White Wolf

Wow. Crowd is overwhelmingly behind Adam Cole.

Sets up a stipulation match which should be great. Probably a cage match to keep the other two out.

Still think it was the wrong decision to have Io tap though, have her pass out if anything. The crowd were on the brink of erupting when she almost had the rope break plus Shayna should be on the main roster by now.

Does Shayna want to go to the main roster given the atmosphere there and the way the most recent nxt call ups have been treated ? I'd say people in nxt are trying to stay there as long as they can. I watched some of the performance centre combine on the network and the mood there is very family like.

But main roster is where the money is and Shayna is quite old by women wrestlers standards. Plus with Ronda more or less gone you'd think WWE would want a legit MMA destroyer to replace her.

Also the same day as the NJPW show in London. This is no coincidence.

I was wondering about this - I assume the additional money comes from increased appearances due to house shows and the like.

Yeah, was thinking Kyle will be sore today.
And was just checking why Bobby had the sling. Seems it was just precautionary.

Post show Q&A with HHH. There are technical difficulties during it but half works from 4:18-5:55 then properly from 15:25 til the end. Lots of praise for Strong and addresses the NXT UK/AEW date. (Around the 31:40 mark)

Basically says the arena was booked months ago and they just didn't want to be announcing 6 months in advance.

Wonder how they're going to use Damien Priest. Will he do as well as Alister Black, who lost his debut match as Tommy End before becoming more successful as Black. Martinez lost his debut match and is now being rebranded.

So he gets to mix one of his other interests into his wrestling gear every Takeover, I don't see the problem.
