I wonder if this will lead to a Hall of Fame induction

It's been posted on Twitter and WWE.com, so I don't think his announcement for Takeover is a "Spoiler"

So, full heel turn from Dark One:

Sounds like a lot of squash matches, but there's some good stuff in there.

Yes, it will.

Eva Marie for the 2016 HOF.

Couldn't find a single GIF of Eva Marie's hot rear end :(

Of her new gear or just in general since gifs of it exists from Total Divas.

SPOILER: show

Wooooooo! Also Chad Gable was cool.

I like Chad. Seems like a funny guy.

So Owens is set to lose again at the NXT Brooklyn special. I'm not sure if it is a good idea. The dude's been losing a lot of steam as of late.

I think they should be going with Balor vs. Joe or Joe vs. Owens with Balor defending against someone else (Rhyno in a Hardcore Match?).

<font color=goldenrod>The fact that WWE are making a very big deal out of this NXT special the night before SummerSlam kinda makes me think Owens won't be in a particularly big match at the PPV itself. Maybe a multi-man match of some sort.

Dunno, feel like they'll want his character's "focus" for this next month to be winning back the NXT Title.</font>

That sucks.

Eva Marie seems lazy as fuck in the ring by WWE standards.

Ditto.

Eva Marie still seems pretty bad in the ring.

she even seemed to ramp up the sexuality this week, which was weird/welcome.

:lol: at the DBZ guy against Baron Corbin. No clue why Corbin is still stuck doing quick squash matches instead of doing more meaningful/longer matches. Same problem the Ascension had when they were on NXT.

Yeup. Maybe its the side effect of hanging out too much with Dana Brooks.

SPOILER: show

it's because corbin is godawful

Why is Emma so sexy now?

Cause she is evil, and bad girls are hot.

still waiting for Devin Taylor to snap and go on a face eating rampage of all the heel NXT divas.

Devin snapping is the best long term build since Taz vs. Sabu.

Emma is freakin' incredible. I wish the WWE never fucked her up in the first place, and she should really be a part of the Diva Revolution, but I'm just glad for the success she is having.

Eva Marie looks tremendous. She'll get better in the ring. Still, I don't see why they just don't have her valet. Why rush her into roles she isn't ready for? Dana Brooke is also a pretty good personality, but she doesn't really belong in the ring yet. She should just be Emma's disciple.

Love Cassie McIntosh too. I think she's adorable. There's serious ring potential there too.

NXT is going to need some real heels soon. Send Natalya and Layla down or something. Cassie is a bit too cute. Jessie McKay could play a nasty bitch pretty well. Emma does a good job, but might get too over. Alexa Bliss is the only real heel left.

I liked how much this week's episode focused on tag teams. The main event wasn't the best match I've ever seen, but man does Simon Gotch keep getting more impressive. It seems there are a few teams with a stake to the Tag Team Titles. Heading into Takeover: Brooklyn, I'd probably have The Vaudevillains, Enzo & Cass beat Blake, Murphy & The Mechanics in an eight-man, which leads to Blake & Murphy & The Mechanics fighting. Fatal 4-Way in Brooklyn for the Tag Titles. Jason Jordan & Chad Gable can face The Hype Bros.

Baron Corbin should be the champ

The pic of balor hitting his head on the ceiling is hilarious
