I’m sure we’re getting a triple threat but glad they did the right thing with Becky. Not sure they needed the knee injury part since the place would have popped huge regardless but it all worked. A slow starting Rumble but it really picked up once the better workers started coming in.

Dana Brooke used her time really well, I’d say. She looked much improved

Ok, it had a pay off, I take it back

Do they not trust people to remember Vega is under the ring?

The Vega cosplay was awesome. This has been a real drop-off from last year and the crowd seem to be waiting on Becky

Oh yeah, Horsewomen feud, lets go

Fantastic match. Ronda is incredible but Sasha brought it in a big way, just an awesome, nasty performance full of fantastic touches. It’s easy to forget how good she can be.

Ronda’s selling is next-level great

Pray for Shane McMahon’s knees

Are they repeating 2014 with Becky as Bryan losing the first match but doing the right thing this time and putting her in the Rumble?

Loved Murphy dispatching everyone with knees, a pretty convincing way to keep him strong. Murphy vs Trevor Lee would be a real jam

Man, they really should have had that NXT brawl air during Takeover

Bryan is having the time of his life cutting these promos.

Reigns at 30 would result in the pop to end all pops

Dug that quite a lot. Shayna carries herself like a total star and they did just about everything they could to make Bianca look good in defeat. Nice attention to the limb work down the stretch from Bianca too which gets bonus points from me. If Shayna is moving up, I like the story of Bianca learning from this and winning next time out

Ah, I’m behind on NXT but that makes sense if Dream is staying in NXT for a while longer

Long Ricochet matches expose him pretty badly IMO but I'm also, absolutely not the audience for him, even though everything he hits is pretty phenomenal to see. I guess Riddle/Gargano is coming soon?

Gargano is trying but Ricochet just loves doing flips.

Riddle's rise will be undeniable but Hero was so good in that match. All of his stuff looked really nasty but he was awesome as the asshole veteran who tried to save himself after biting off more than he could chew. I'd love a main roster run where he could do that stuff in and around the IC/US Titles but I know he's set in NXT.

All this talk of great entrances but nothing is going to top this

If they still cared about protecting guys, he has everything to be a fantastic gatekeeper.

The name is dumb but Undisputed Era are really over as a unit and their shirt seems to be a top seller so I'd be prepared for Adam Cole as NXT Champ with the others flanking him.

These pre-show panels are so awful. Who are these two assholes?

Man, if Ronda goes and doesn't return after having kids, she's one of the greatest lost opportunities in wrestling. Her debut year was pretty fantastic and she would have only improved.
