Lee v Dijak and Gargano v Balor should be good.

Should all be great! I wonder if this is all on the actual show, or if something (Nox/Dakota I’d imagine) will be on the pre-show seeing as the last two shows have featured a pre-show match since going live weekly (WarGames and Worlds Collide). I hope it’s all on the show, if it was me I’d just run a dark match for the crowd beforehand, it’s not a need to have a designated pre-show match every time.

I was always a fan of the Takeover 5 match card formula, but with 5 titles on the brand now, NXT:UK and occasionally main roster guys popping up now and again as well as having quite possibly their most staked roster ever, I hope 6 matches becomes the norm. I would say that would be enough to have lengthy matches without becoming 4-5 hour marathon shows. As for the card, everyone is assuming Balor/Gargano will steal the show, but I'm most excited for Lee/Dijakovic. They've wrestled countless times before, even just in NXT, but this is probably the biggest platform they've had, so hopefully they'll go all out for this one.

I feel like the amount of times they’ve wrestled on NXT makes me less excited for Lee/Dijakovic. But I’m sure they’ve gotta have something in the bag to pull out that’ll top what we’ve seen so far.
I’m most looking forward to Bálor/Gargano and honestly the tag title match. Riddle and Dunne together has been great, I’m really enjoying it. Hoping they win the titles to continue the decline of the prophecy. However I want Cole to retain and be the lone survivor with a belt. Not sure if it’s gonna be Ciampa or not, but I think Cole loses the title in Tampa.

Yeah I was gonna give the tag title match a mention too. The tag matches at Takeover's always seem to be standouts and Riddle/Dunne have clicked, but as much as I love Fish and O'Reily, I reckon they'll lose here and it will culminate Wrestlemania weekend when Cole loses the title.

This should be a terrific show. They have done a great job of building to Sunday, and I'm really looking forward to the entire thing. All the matches have the potential to be fantastic.

Super hyped for this! Honestly, one of - if not the - best TakeOver cards in history. I'm invested in every single match. While I would be content with any given superstar winning in any given match on the card, I'm personally pulling for Ciampa, Kai, Broserweights, Lee, Ripley, and Gargano.

I think Dakota/Tegan should be good! Nothing else on the card excites me. Not really a fan of any of them, per se. I am curious to see how long the show is. Seeing how many matches there are, with NXT on USA now, I'm curious to see if it ends up being 3 hours/3+ hours.

I’m biased because I work on Sunday nights, so needless to say I’m not a fan of this decision. Hopefully the next stand alone Takeover will be back to a Saturday. But at the end of the day I can still come home Monday morning and watch (hopefully) spoiler free.

I dont watch nxt except for these takeover shows. So maybe I'm missing something. Or a lot. But I dont think I've ever disliked a random team as much as Dunne and Riddle. I dont get the appeal they have to anyone. Aside from that I pray Bianca doesnt win. Dont like anything about her either. And Finn Balor is being wasted. He is a former Universal champion with an awesome, if underutilized, gimmick.

It says 3:00 PM. Is that correct? If it is do you think it's because of the All Star game that night?

I just have to watch the PPV from my Tablet and the All Star Game this year. Especially because you know that with the tragedy of Kobe and Gianna dying it's going to be an emotionally charged night and hopefully one for the ages (despite the strange rules for this year)

But at the end of the day I can still come home Monday morning and watch (hopefully) spoiler free. I believe the WON reported back in January that this building was booked for this date to be a WWE PPV, but then the Saudi schedule got finalized as another February show. So WWE gave this slot to NXT. Might explain why it's on a Sunday, because it was supposed to be a main roster show.

All I had seen was that they basically wanted to try Sunday’s to see how viewership is and whatnot. The last UK Takeover was a Sunday too.
