NXT Takeover: [R] Evolution |LD| Campione! Campione! Olé, Olé, Olé!

I haven't been this excited for a show in a good while. This should rock.

 

[Uncle Sam]

You're darn fucking tooting, Kibbers! I've got the wi-fi set up in my bedroom and everything.

 

[.]

I really really hope Corey Graves is gonna announce that he's gonna wrestle again

 

[Bagpipes]

Hyped up for this show. Zayn/Neville is going to be great, but I'm really looking forward to the 2 tag matches on the card.

 

[Барбоса]

Will Steen cost Sami the title?

 

[klunderbunker]

If he does, it could be glorious.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I'm so freaking excited for this.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Will Steen cost Sami the title?

What, he asked in the least confrontational way possible, would the logic be?

I think the best hope we have of any direct Zayn/Owens interaction tonight is Owens coming out to congratulate Sami after he wins.

 

[klunderbunker]

We're about three hours and forty five minutes from bell time and I really don't know if Sami wins the title or not. Yeah he looks unstoppable, but he NEVER WINS THE BIG ONE. I really don't know who wins tonight and that's the best feeling in the world for a wrestling fan.

 

[TheICChampion]

And if he doesn't are they really going to let him leave or rebrand him and send him to the main roster?

I think I floated the idea a while ago that Steen feels abandoned by Sami after all their time together on the indy circuit. I actually thought that Steen's promos mentioning where he has come from along with the likes of Sami provides a nice jumping off point.

Him being the tar out of Sami screaming the like of "YOU LEFT ME BEHIND!" or even channeling Batista's "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIEND!" could be epic.

I would accept this too.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Really looking forward to this show, no idea who wins any of the title matches and I love it. I'm sad by no Tyler Breeze on the show though.

The only sure thing, one imagines, is Balor and Itami beating The Ascension.

It's logical, I just don't know if it 'works.' The crowd want to like Owens, he's the big debuting star, ergo he's going to be a face regardless of what he does. The crowd do like Zayn - he's NXT's biggest babyface and it's his night. Therefore, I don't think any of the following scenarios work: Owens screws Zayn, thus turning heel; Owens helps Zayn, thus making the both of them heels; Owens comes out and eats a Mars bar, making him look ineffectual (though probably still prompting a big pop).

I'm not against the two feuding down the line, and I think they will and it'll be great, they just both need to be face right now, and the best way for them both to remain face and interact is, well:

Sorry about the delay in my reponse - I had to order, eat and partially recover from a curry. I took off work tomorrow so I have the time to be shitting fire at eight thirty in the morning.

The Ascension HAS to be main roster bound after this right? They legitimately have nothing else to achieve in NXT and have been ready for months.

wish I could watch this live ...many on here seemed pumped to the max, and from the little I've seen of NXT, can't say anything too negative.

The Main Guys on the show were awesome in the couple matches I've seen and on the short Tag match they had on RAW...

 

[HurriKane]

Praying Kevin Owens attacks Sami Zayn after he beats Neville.

Omg I'm salivating .

 

[Vega]

Almost forgot this as it's not Sunday. But yeah, I'm totally here!

Sami has to win. If he gets screwed he can't interact with the screwer as he leaves NXT and a clean loss would destroy his story.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

KILL STEEN KILL!

 

[Black Anaconda Vise]

Heard many good things about Steen but I've never seen him wrestle so this should be interesting

 

[.]

This is upsetting. It really sucks that Graves doesn't get a chance despite how fucking good he was.

 

[.]

Sin Cara just does not care to do that Lucha taunt at all.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Sucks to hear that about Graves, looking forward to Steen opening the show!

 

[hatehabsforever]

I'm shocked at how psyched I am for this show tonight. I don't even watch NXT very regularly, and I can't wait, should be awesome.
