NXT this week was quite bad, really. Nothing to pull me in.
Very worried about the future of this show. Not sure why, though.

Not to give spoilers but I can see a title change happening at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.
As for this week's episode, here is some of my thought:
- Glad Bayley came back. I needed my Bayley fix - Dana Brooke is getting my admiration more and more - Eva Marie wasn't bad. Going to give her time to improve. - Glad Samoa Joe got new entrance music. - Baron Corbin's match was a dud - The contract signing was so cliché - Oh, Bayley is Best For Business

"NXT follows the same format as the late 80's/early 90's wwe tv shows like Primetime Wrestling, the stars or the ones receiving pushes fight jobbers and everyone has a main event between two stars most weeks. I just find this interesting."

Episode was fine. Loved the Balor opening, nice moment. I covered Eva's match in the other thread, thought it was fine, forgot to mention her getting kicked right in the mouth though. Bayley vs Emma was meh for those two and Bayley's promo sucked. Speaking of promos, Charlotte has turned into crying Big Show. Joe squash was fine. Blake's hair looks hilarious, Alexa is awesome. Seems like the Vaudevillians are just being fed to BAM. The Villains have kind of run their course in NXT for me. Absolutely loved the contract signing. Basic, simple, nobody went through the table, good sh*t.
I madly love Dasha, so cool to see her on the episode. If you've been to live events, and seen her in those dresses, got damn.
Other than the main event scene, obviously, and whatever Enzo and Cass are doing, who weren't on this week, I just don't care. There really isn't too much going on right now. Which I guess is understandable based on the weird transition period with the women and then Owens, plus Sami and Itami are both out. NXT needs a shot in the arm. Where is Uhaa? How about some buzz with signing an ROH name? I do care about Breeze and Liger, and that was a fine little setup, but that's a one-off.

Apparently they had to edit out the crowd chanting "We Deserve It" in regards to the next Takeover being in Brooklyn at this set of tapings.
How great does Bálor look with the NXT Championship? And how many times is Owens gonna punk out Regal?
I don't know what it is about "Evil" Emma, but.....damn! Happy to see Bayley back too.
Blake's hair....I don't even know where to begin. Alexa has been fantastic in this heel role though. I still say the Vaudevillains should've got BAM's title reign. Wasn't impressed with Eva at all.
I wonder if the whole Kidd situation has stalled Joe's momentum somewhat?

NXT is becoming hot and holding the first TakeOver special at an actual arena is playing a factor into that trend. Not to mention, I heard after the special concludes, the WWE is taping the week after's episode at the Barclay Center. I have a feeling since NXT is becoming popular, the WWE is going to hold their TakeOver specials at actual arena's as opposed to doing them at Full Sail. Knowing the WWE, I have a feeling they plan on doing an TakeOver special from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area before WrestleMania XXXII.

I think they will take Takeover on the road as well....BUT the regular NXT shows will mostly remain being taped at Full Sail. There are MANY reasons to tape there, including the partnership they have with Full Sail, the training facility, where the wrestlers live, financial reasons, etc.

My overall thoughts on this weeks episode
-Balor looks great with the title, good to see him back on the show. -Love Bayley, her and Emma had a decent match. I personally enjoy heel Emma a lot and I really hope she is brought to main roster again. I also think they're doing well with pushing Bayley. -Seeing Dana Brooke get aggressive against Charlotte in that backstage promo, liked to see something new from her cause she was boring me. Hopefully she backs her words up. -THANK GODDDDDD THEY CHANGED SAMOA JOE'S THEME, IT'S SO MUCH BETTER. -The Vaude Villains have always been a really decent team, love the way Gotch literally just grabbed his boot to hit his opponent. They made Aiden look better too. -Blake's hair is terrible, looked fine before. -Love heel Alexa Bliss, there's something about her and the role she's playing right now that is just fantastic. -Eva's did okay in ring, especially for her first singles match on the show. Glad she's going through NXT. -I have a feeling, and I'm hoping that week by week things with Baron Corbin increase. It's certainly obvious that a good portion of the audience is annoyed with his matches. -Contract signing was okay, that's about it really. Finn's gonna beat Owens, and I hope their match tops the one they had in Tokyo. and finally... -Seeing Tyler Breeze was gorgeous as usual, absolutely love his character and I find his in ring work really underrated. Hopefully NXT Brooklyn will be good for him.
Not the greatest episode, but I definitely didn't think it was bad.

This weeks episode was an ok show my only complaint was that there was to much Dana Brooke. She is horrible on the mic and a pain to look at. Since everyone is commenting on it, Eva Marie was ok but not passable in the ring and KC carried the match finely. She's still wodden as hell on the mic. Evil Emma is awesome and The William Regal/Tyler Breeze backstage segment was funny.

If Bayley gets a shot against Sasha then me and Bash just might have to go to war.
I am becoming a HUGE fan of Sasha lately.
I still love Bayley too though, please don't hurt me guys.

The Sasha/Bayley thing is going to end my friendship with @bashcrashwiley. Bayley has even tweeted me about it. But this all that needs to be said really
