GDT: NXT TakeOver: War Games (17th November 2018)

[Serac]

Lars is fine in the NA title mix for a while yet. I wouldn't call him up so fast

 

[Brodeur]

They could be who they show, but they are clearly below the likes of Riddle or Lee so it wouldn't be great.

Agreed, maybe they'll stick to showing NXT alums or other assorted WWE personnel taking in the show.

 

[GKJ]

Lars is near the top. He's not in an NA Title mix. Probably coming up at Wrestlemania. Wouldn't bet against him showing up in the Rumble.

 

[The Gongshow]

Even tho Dream is losing so we'll finally get that Ciampa/Gargano/Black Triple Threat at either TO:Rumble or Mania....
Dream getting a title shot is still fantastic, dude hasn't missed a TakeOver in a while and can't be left off the card, too good!

Hoping War Games is as brutal as last years

 

[Emperoreddy]

I know it isn’t happening, but I will mark so hard for a Dream win.

He should not get called up until he is NXT champ. Way too much potential to waste on a quick call up.

 

[c9777666]

Part of me hopes Ciampa retains because I want to see Ricochet get a title shot

 

[c9777666]

I hope Kari wins back the title.

Evans/Evil Candace/Belair and Io are all lined up for her as challangers. Shayna IMO doesn't have much left in NXT and not many face challangers. Unless the plan is for Io to win at the next Takeover.

And they just lost Nikki Cross, so NXT is running a little thin on faces in the women's division

 

[GKJ]

Nikki is still there. She has a match being taped on Saturday.

 

[Jussi]

Seems like Nita Strauss will be playing at War Games again.

 

[Maffew]

I hope Kari wins back the title.

I'm thinking whoever loses will be called up, and I think Kairi deserves a longer title run.

Shayna should be called up to team with Ronda to start heating up the horsewomen feud.

Shayna should be called up to team with Ronda to start heating up the horsewomen feud.

I think Shayna should actually turn on Rhonda. Rhonda is face and Shayna makes a great heel. All though since they seem to be wanting to go with Becky/Rhonda at WM not sure how/when Shayna will fit in.

At this point a call up to main is almost a death sentance. The last few call ups have basically faded into oblivion aside from Drew. SDL and Raw can't even push who they have so adding more people isn't going to do them any favors.

Kairi should win again and feud and elevate girls like Lacy/Candace/Belair/Yim and eventually drop the title to Io. I would also love to see Meiko get a shot at the title against Kairi.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Pumped af for this. All matches look like they will get the time they deserve.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Does anyone know how the war games match will go? I saw highlights from the 2017 one, and it was 3 teams of 3 members. It started 1 vs 1 vs 1 and then the cages containing the other 2 members of each of the 3 teams would open in random order. How does this unfold in a 2 teams of 4 each match?

 

[Kimi]

It's a standard war games match, so the rules are just the normal ones that have been used since forever and not the ones they had last year. They've got them on the match preview on the WWE site.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Oh ok, thank you @Kimi

I had never seen a war games match before

I just know it is what wcw used to use on one of their shows

 

[Cor]

Yeah, I believe it's 1v1 and then 1 person gets added every certain amount of time, until everyone is in the ring or a pin/submission happens

 

[Disclose]

but are there in shark cages again? huhuh

 

[The Gongshow]

Won't be able to watch this live tonight, unfortunately!

Gargano/Black gonna be the MOTN, Dream gonna be over af

 

[DerekDevils30]

The Devils disappointed me today but I KNOW NXT won't. Can't wait

 

[Conrad McBenis]

The Devils disappointed me today but I KNOW NXT won't. Can't wait

Severson made my fantasy team happy... heck of a FA pick up a couple weeks ago!

 

[Clint Eastwood]

There's 5 WWE events I look forward to every year and it's all 5 takeovers. I love these shows everytime they come around. Also makes the school year go by fast since it seems like it was just yesterday I was watching Brookyln 4

 

[Brodeur]

Just ran into David Arquette outside the arena.

 

[GKJ]

Just ran into David Arquette outside the arena.

Dude did a cutter through a bunch of lightbulbs last night

 

[Disclose]

yeah i like Arquette trying to redeem himself from the critics. he likes wrestling and is doing it for fun. ( i mean its still dumb he won the title but i think he thinks so too)

 

[SeidoN]

considered leaving this till tomorrow to help get my sleep schedule sorted but..... I just cant, its f***ing Takeover
