So here we go! First NXT UK Takeover and we've got a stacked card, including my second favourite bastard Dave Mastiff!

Very much looking forward to this, hopefully it'll act as a jumping on point for a lot of people after the rocky start the show had with the tapings being so far in advance. I know I've no really paid attention to the show, so I'm going in half blind to the storylines.

I think this should be a good show.

BSS will carry it and I expect them to come out with all the gold.

Overall I think the UK brand has been a success and they really built up the brand quickly. Basic but smart wrestling booking, establishing characters, and creating heels and faces.

Dunn's time isn't up yet he will continue to carry the brand forward.

Coffey doesn’t seem like the guy to end Dunne’s legendary reign, but with the rumours that Dunne is moving to NXT soon (from what I read) I wonder if he does drop it here.

I still feel the ideal guy he should drop it to is WALTER before moving over to NXT or even the main roster in April.

Odds of me watching live are pretty slim but I'll definitely check it out later. I'd watch Dunne play a game of Scrabble let alone wrestle.

I've only seen two of the shows, but I feel like Rhea Ripley/Toni Storm is the bigger match.

i mean its the 3rd time for WWE fans (the women match). Pete Dunne is going into the biggest title run since forever and i dont think WWE fans have seen this match before. hes your main event.

They could do some cool things with Finn Balor with Devlin dressed up in the Demon Balor gimmick

Don't know anyone here besides BSS.

Also know of Travis Banks from the Indy's, but I feel this will be a very good show. Also 2 EST start time so less wait.

Coffey isn't winning. Dunn's reign will continue. He isn't anywhere on NXT till the Rumble so he has no storylines right now. They were hinting at him and Ricochet but that was replaced with Gargano.

I think BSS is walking out with the titles. They are the biggest stars for the brand so it makes senses to let them keep repping it as champs.

I'm stuck on a plane for another half hour, and would rather get home first. This deserves to be watched on TV, not my phone.

so at 2pm est
I turned it on just after 2 and they started the tag title match shortly after. Think I might've missed the first two matches.

Edit, they started with the tag match so never mind.

Wow, Bate is deceptively strong. Without a doubt one of the best young talents in all of wrestling. I could watch him and Dunne wrestle each other every night and be satisfied
