Love bad Emma, but I hate the way they make her the less dominant one in that pairing. Inexperienced and unworthy (yet egotistical) Dana should be soaking up knowledge from Emma -- who should be somewhere between a tag team partner and a coach. The story with Charlotte helping out Sasha for a title shot makes perfect sense though. I look forward to them stealing the show in the main event next week (my prediction is it will close anyway), and possibly for Emma and Dana Brooke to make an impact after the match, and further the ties between the (potential) Four Horsewomen.
Bayley cut a pretty good promo in the back too. Really simple, sold herself as coming back stronger and with a purpose, and built to a match. Right now, I'd be happy for Bayley vs. Emma to be on the Takeover card. Lots behind that match.
Solomon Crowe has got something I like, but I can understand why people aren't hooked yet. What the dude really needs is a feud. I'm unsure if they put him against Rhyno or Baron Corbin first. Who is more likely to get offended at Crowe calling himself "NXT's Resident Little Monster?" An NXT version of the Monster's Ball could be coming.
Find the quirks of Chad Gable to be entertaining. Jason Jordan has got the look of a major player. If they have great matches, they might just be the best team in NXT overnight. I hope they get Devin Taylor as a manager. She'd be great for off-setting Alexa Bliss and/or Carmella. I also hope they bring back Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas for a few matches against the World's New Greatest Tag Team.
The Vaudevillains winning in the main event was cool. It makes sense to put them over, because after their absence, they needed some solidifying wins. Plus, Enzo & Cass are perpetually over at this point. The win looked crafty and lucky, but also credible. I don't expect that Enzo & Cass are out of the title run, but that some wacky shenanigans take place over the next few weeks that builds to a Triple Threat between the three sides at Takeover.
