Excellent main event, really had me concerned that Zayne was concussed.
I never get over Owens pumphandle neckbreaker either. Just ridiculous.

Yep, for me Zayn and Owens are streets ahead of anyone else in NXT because they can tell a story so well. My only real knock on the main event was that it was a little too similar to Brock vs Cena at Summerslam, and having the commentators point that out didn't help.
There really is no reason to call them up yet either. Last year they tried to introduce way too many NXT guys at once after wrestlemania, given that it's such a busy time they're bound to get shafted. It'd be much better to have a slow burn and make their debut sometime after summerslam or maybe even closer to survivor series. Would give them enough time to put together a great feud on NXT to really solidify why people should watch it, but it will still give them enough time to build some momentum and hopefully get a spot at wrestlemania 32.
Wishful thinking anyway.
Agree on all (most?) parts. Gladly Zayn lost yesterday without a yelp, means there's more left in this feud. I was concerned there would be a hard fought match lots of near falls, trading finishers and a handshake/hug at the end signalling Sami moving on.
I think Neville is ready to move up, can't see what else there is for him to do in NXT except fade off out of the title picture. What's annoying with that scenario is there's no place for him on the main roster at the moment. Who would he program with? Kidd being the only real standout as far as I can tell, but he seems busy with the New Day or the Uso's or some s**t for some *en reason.

Yeah Neville's at a loose end at the moment. I understand people would like him to go to Raw but without a solid character he won't get over with the mainstream WWE fans and I feel he'll have an Evan Bourne like career where he'll just be paired up with other generic faces.
Keep in mind if you count the Shield and Rusev as products of the FCW system, NXT are yet to have a successful call up yet. I don't regard Paige's call up as successful fwiw. They really need to work out a better way of introducing NXT people to the main roster, at the moment they just send them up and hope for the best.

Ah well you'd certainly will get your money's worth if you go.
For some reason I just thought they did them weekly but were on a 4 week delay.
Bray Wyatt a NXT product?

can't wait for
Owens to kick the crap out of Riley. Then WWE will probably release Riley.
I don't watch WWE or NXT very often, I pretty much just scroll these forums, but is it just me, or does NXT just seem like TNA now? That's all I think of when I see some of these names haha. Dubstep Cowboys? Wtf? Shoot Nation? Blue Pants? And since when was Rhyno back? And why would he be at NXT? Just a once off?

HHH said they had new plans for him, it'd be hilarious if that's all it was.

Next 4 weeks are gonna be gooood.
Although TNA has been pretty good recently NXT is way ahead. Dubstep Cowboys is just a nickname some people have for Blake and Murphy because they're theme is dubstep and Wesley Blake's old gimmick was as a cowboy. Shoot Nation is a bunch of guys who think they're superior because they have a background in amateur wrestling, hence the shoot. Blue Pants is the greatest wrestler in NXT! She was originally brought in as a joke jobber, but she got over with it. Kendrick is back trying to become an NXT trainer, so apparently Rhyno might be trying to do the same.

Given he was part of development back in the FCW he doesn't count for me. But granted the Bray Wyatt character was created in the current NXT environment.

Lana is 100% NXT, does she count?
I'd say she's been a great success. The whole not being an in ring competitor part aside...

I'd classify Rusev as at least 75% NXT. While he was in FCW, he spent more time injured than actually wrestling.

Yep Lana is definitely as great NXT talent. This is certainly becoming a "what have the Romans ever done for us?" moment

Great show. NXT is the best wrestling show by a country mile. What you just saw in the main event was the perfect babyface vs the perfect heel. Great psychology. Something that's missing from a lot of current rasslin.

I was a bit late watching Takeover, I only got to watch it last night.
I feel like I was right all along with Corbin. The dude really, really sucks. That match was just heinous. The tag title match wasn't much better - that was just botch after botch. You could see what they were trying to do and work a really quick match, they just lacked the chemistry.
But Balor vs Neville took it to another level. What an incredible matches, with some of the most believable false finishes I've seen in ages. I thought it was probably better than the RR 3-way as match of the year... and then I thought the women's title match topped it. I loved everything about that match - the only thing I didn't like after the match was the little hug. At least Sasha managed to try and heel it up coming out of the hug. But it's just not a good look that they're so happy to break kayfabe after the story they've told.
I don't understand the decision in the main event. Since when is ref stoppage a way for the title to change? And what message are they sending if the title can change on a concussion? Surely with a concussion it's just the case that one of the competitors isn't fit to compete and the match gets thrown out?
I'm a little bit indifferent about the match itself. It wasn't 4 or 5 stars, it was just part of a storyline. In 2 months we'll look at it in the same way that we came to look at the first Hardy vs Edge match at Summerslam where Hardy just got beaten up and lost on a blood stoppage - just the beginning of the story.
Still, knowing that, it would've been nice for WWE to figure out a way to get the womens match on last, because the NXT Title match didn't need to.

Botchcity at the moment. I read how sloppy this match was, didn't realise it was this bad.
The Dragons just didn't look interested, you could tell just from their entrance.
I thought Blake and Murphy looked pretty good.

People would be far more pissed off if the match was stopped due to injury and Owens didn't win. It's an idea taken from MMA anyways, they just haven't established that the referee can end the match at his own discretion if he feels that one of the competitors is too badly injured.

I think Rusev won the US title by referee stoppage?
