Adrienne's debut should be brilliant tonight. Ridiculously talented, about damn time too, pumped for it.”

As long as they have plans in place for when the next group of talent gets called up to the main roster, and keeps NXT going strong, then great.

And agree with the bottom bit. It's about time she debuted but great she'll get to do so at Takeover Brooklyn in front of a huge crowd.

Yes its great to see the talent that's in NXT showcasing their abilities but in reality wrestlers like Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and Hideo Itami don't need to be in NXT. They're good enough to be on the main roster but they're needed to sell tickets for NXT as it goes on bigger international tours.

It was a shame for NXT to lose so much talent in the draft but as wrestlers leave they should be ready to bring new guys to the NXT Roster.

For example Bayley will for sure be leaving for the Main Roster imminently. Apart from Asuka who else is in NXT's women's division? Ember Moon debuts tonight and they've been building up Billie Kay recently but they should have been building up others too like Peyton Royce.

NXT is still a great show but the talent roster looks rather thin. Hopefully HHH has a long term plan in place which will allow NXT to continue to succeed.”

I've said this too many times. I understand the need for name value to sell tickets but there are guys in the performance center doing nothing but training with very little opportunity to work the live events. Even the CW division is going to be working both Raw and NXT now.

Can't knock Hunter's vision to build this new brand but it's at the expense of development.

It was sad to see the disappointment in his face when JBL mentioned that if Sting would have gone to WWE in 2002, he would've had great matches with HBK, Taker, Austin, Rock etc. I completely understand why Sting was hesitant to join WWE. Probably a good idea (on Sting's part, anyway) that he came in with a Legend status rather than a top guy, whose career could still end badly through poor booking.

I also liked that he called HBK the greatest. After hearing the impact he had on the CWC competitors, praise from people who he's worked with and now from someone who Shawn's never worked with, really starting to believe that Shawn Michaels is the greatest of all time.

...Unless WWE are telling everyone to say that and making it all up. ”

Im glad Sting didnt sign with WWE he likely would have got buried back then given how triple H/Booker T did a racist storyline and they wouldnt let Booker win at mania. Then you had a big WCW star in DDP and they gave him a lame Stalker angle where Taker destroyed him, I mean Dallas in WWE should have been a massive deal coming in.

I really don't have much optimism for the CW division on Raw.

We've been here before. WWE had a CW Division. A Division that was quite frankly treated as meaningless by WWE before they decided to get rid of it altogether.

Yes it had its bright moments, especially at the start of Brand Split 1 on Smackdown where it did make up a big part of the blue brand, but ultimately its not one of Vince's priorities.

The CWC has been great, but Vince doesn't have any input in this. On the other hand Vince is very much hands on with Raw and unless he's suddenly changed his opinion the CW division could end up becoming meaningless show filler.

It would be great if it did become a big part of WWE again but I suppose in my view it has to be seen to be believed.

I can't see SwagSuke winning today and I don't think he should yet but the finish will either be super close or the dreaded draw.

Maybe Itami will interfere...........

Asuka will obviously beat Bailey.

Not that I'm a fan of the Japanese wrestlers or anything.........

I don't know I could see them both winning.

They will have to have a 2 Times NXT Womens Champion sooner or later so why not have Bailey be the first?


I also think Shinsuke will do it it's his time and time for Joe to move to the main roster SD could really use him.

I think they may hold off moving Bailey up to the main roster just yet to.

They have just moved a lot of NXT Women up and now Bailey and Asuka are the only names people know others have of course made their debut but they will need a few months to build themselves up.

Looking forward to Takeover

Glad it's not in Full Sail this time, not a fan of the small scale atmosphere, much better in a big arena

I'll be here, maybe..............

Also funny editing/botch during Xavier interviewing Lesnar/Heyman.

You'd think Lesnar would know what the game is called. It's right behind you for [expletives] sake!

Go on Hol, you know you want to.

I'm planning to, if the Network holds up.

Having a few technical issues at the moment.
