Not super excited for it, but an impromptu Ruby Riot - Peyton Royce match would make more excited.

There are some familiar sounding lines in this promo. Gave me chills.

I wonder what Roderick Strong is doing on this show?

Seems lackluster to me. That said, I don't follow NXT very religiously so I'll likely just end up watching the main event.
Gonna go out on a limb and say SS will top this event.

I never watch NXT but I really should as yet again the card really interests me despite following much.

Not the best Takeover card I've seen but I am looking forward to Asuka vs Ember Moon. Roode vs McIntyre could be really good or really bad. I'll watch the whole show because I think we are in for a surprise or two that should make this a memorable show.

Hoping the main event delivers. Drew just hasn't been clicking for me in NXT.

Hoping the main event delivers. Drew just hasn't been clicking for me in NXT. I hate saying it, but I think a heel turn would work wonders for McIntyre. Only issue would be too many heels in the "main event" scene. Question is, who goes babyface to make up for it? Or do you call up Roode and have Drew take his spot as the top heel? Either way, Gargano/Almas and Black/Itami are my most anticipated for my first TakeOver in person. Hope the card delivers (obviously). Also looking forward to probably seeing Kassius Ohno, Ruby Riot and others for the TV taping beforehand.

He's so much bigger than anyone else in the nxt main event scene. So him playing the face is just super awkward.

I feel his presence with his "Galloway" character just screams heel. More aggressive than he ever was in his initial WWE run.

having SAniTy and AOP against each other is interesting since it's heel vs heel.

I hope Sanity finally wins the gold. Or they get called up and interfere in a SS match. Roode is also good to go up IMO. Drew can be the heel champ and feud with Roddy, Black, Ohno and whatever new signee they have.

Not a terribly exciting card on paper, but I said the same thing about Chicago and look how that turned out. Takeover shows almost always have a way of over-delivering.
Even if it's not a great show, it will almost certainly be a good show with logical and sound booking, and that goes a long way.

excited for Ember/Asuka! Asuka's matches always tend to get overshadowed from the match before (UK championship match from Chicago, the triple threat tag team match from Orlando, tag team match from San Antonio and most certainly the 2016 MOTY DIY vs Revival from Toronto) but hopefully they get to steal the show this time. Also expecting Gorgano/Almas to be good!

Black/Itami should be good...I hope it is at least.
I've been very impressed with Black of late though sadly not as much as Itami...sure, it's not NO MERCY/TAKEOVER circa NOAH 2011 but he's getting there slowly, I think.
