They want HHH to take over for Vince but the shareholders see Vince as the only person who can do what Vince does, so they want to use NXT as an example to point to that says "HHH can do this. He is the guy to take over."

NXT's primary purpose at this point in time is to exist as a highly successful example of HHH running a wrestling company so that there's no pushback whenever Vince is gone and a decision is made to put HHH in charge.

It's less that they HAVE to be in agreement and more that they don't want the stock to take a dive because it looks like the shareholders and the leadership are at odds.

They originally had issues with Charlotte apparently and Bayley is just ridiculously unlike the people they used to call up.


I know there's a lot of "Charlotte got off the juice" chatter but i'd be shocked if it wasn't simply Vince and co. wanting her to lose tone because she didn't look womanly enough for them.

Didn't Crawford have a story? Something about him seems familiar

Was he the one that had the horrendous stutter?

Ember's theme is very busy. Seems like two songs at once. Like you left a second tab open and forgot to close it.

i think she's like Bayley where she's very pretty by any sane standard but not necessarily by WWE's. i'd say they wouldn't hire another woman like that while they already have Bayley, but since she's on the main roster now i guess Nicole has a shot.

Well if looks were ever gonna hurt Savoy, she better praise god she's in a group with Lovelace and Baszler

She walked out of the ring in the middle of a battle royal. I know they rarely care about vocal opposition but adlibbing on screen is a different beast IMO

I'm wondering this too (sans the Toru Yano shirt thing). Don't they usually film a few matches for the weekly show either before or after the Takeovers, especially if they're outside Full Sail?

They're out of canned eps, so my guess would be they film one episode before Takeover starts and the next tapings happen the following week.

Veda is not a very good worker but I guess they could hire her to do interviews or be a manager or something.

Despite her flaws as a worker I could see some value in having a woman in NXT who could actually cut a promo.

So, I'm confused. Did Hero return at a taping or a house show? Been wondering when he'd be popping up on TV again just assuming his return was for TV, but maybe not?

He showed up at a tv taping but it was a dark segment at the end.
