She has to turn, to be honest. I mean, who do they have as a top heel for the division? Billie Kay? Mandy Rose?

Depends on how they want to use Daria but I could see her as more of a Lesnar-style tweener.

I'm expecting Joe to drop and hit the main roster, followed by Roode beating Shinsuke for the belt in like 8 weeks and Nakamura to win the Rumble. (I hope)

Shinsuke Nakamura will not win the next Royal Rumble unless Vince McMahon drops dead before January. And even then I wouldn't put good odds on it.

NXT - Where former TNA World Champions go to get a steady paycheck.

Its looking that way but im not mad at it. TNA sucks but I always felt like most of their roster could work, it was just everything around them was poo poo. You bring these guys in now at the twilight of their careers to work with the green boys, and they can get more exposure for themselves and hey, could strike lightning with something. At the very worst youve given a half dozen grizzled vet Orlando workers their best pay in years and we should take care of our veterans god bless

The whole Space Zombie Clown Nazi thing started as an intimidating tactic against one of her opponents (It started off as just clown paint) and just kept getting more elaborate. God knows what it would look like at this point if she hadn't been signed to NXT.

my tickets say show's at 7:30 and doors are 6, so they'll probably do at least a couple matches? though it's weird they haven't been announced or anything like they were last year; they may just be dark matches or even CWC showcase matches (what with a ton of the CWC talent being in town for the EVOLVE show today)

wow the NXT TakeOver StubHub prices are loving CRASHING, seats in my row are now $50 and I paid $150 for 'em :negative:

Consider upgrading now if you've got upper bowl, lower bowl at Barclays is so much better

upper bowls are now like $15-25 which is below face, some botters got real hosed on this one

How do you upgrade? Through stubhub, or at the venue?

by upgrade I mean "buy new tickets on StubHub and try to sell your old ones (almost-certainly at a loss)"

also there are people on /r/squaredcircle straight-up giving away nosebleeds that they can't move on stubhub

If it's anything like last year's Brooklyn, the episode the next week will be the two pre-show matches and then video packages filling out the hour.

hey last year's pretaped matches gave us what was, afaik, the first straight-up botched ending/wrong person getting the pin ending of a match in the last few years, so that was good. they restarted the match and edited it for TV though :v:

I expect the opposite -- Joe wins and continues being the veteran mainstay on NXT, Nakamura shows up on SmackDown in a few weeks. They're paying Nak too much to keep him in developmental for a year.

Also guarantees he'll lose! But I've always thought he would lose this one anyway--then he'll win a rematch after getting more serious. Joe has looked like kind of a chump in the buildup, too much for me to see them actually following through.

I would be down for the old TNA guys to try and "takeover" NXT and build up new NXT stars by giving them meaningful wins. Even thou it was Curt Hawkins, it was important that Sami Zayn beat Curt and Ceasro the same night as his debut.

Cien Alamas needs an established move set and some kind of catch phrase for the Full Sail crowd; they don't know what or when to cheer him. Ever WWE guy needs 5 moves of doom :shrug:

I liked Daria with the cornrows and the psych-out punches when she got in the ring. NXT is doing a fine job replacing the women's division so far but most of those girls need a few dozen more matches before they could even remotely be legit competition to a Bayley or Asuka. Unless they debut someone new or pull the trigger on one of the Aussie ladies and build them like a monster, no one is close to Asuka and would be more an unbelievable victory than Bo Dallas over Big E.
