NXT - Post NXT Takeover discussion in progress

[Philjax]

So are they going to stop taping 205 and NXTUK soon?

[DavidB6937]

What makes you think that?

[Philjax]

Because they are both shit and no one watches them?

[The King of Old School]

I was wondering if 205 live would take place before NXT going forward and aired live on the network.

I can't see them scrapping NXT UK at all.

205 Live is moving to Fridays.

I'm expecting some sort of merger with the two of them soon, even if 205 stays as the post-SmackDown show. Angel Garza and Danny Burch were both on 205 this week, and last week's NXT had a Cruiserweight Title #1 Contender match. There's been greater integration of NXT and UK talents too, with Ripley, Dunne and Imperium all showing up on NXT proper, so while I can't see them getting rid of the UK show I can imagine NXT USA borrowing the top guys whenever possible (it's not like NXT UK's schedule is particularly punishing).

NXT UK have got taping dates in October (Bridgend) and November (Hull), so it doesn’t look like that’s going anywhere at the moment.

Have they released viewing figures for NXT UK?

[Ricc1PW]

if the AEW roster, other than maybe Jericho and Moxley, are 'real stars' then I think my percieved definition of that term is spectacularly wrong.

Bloody hell I hope not otherwise there's no way I'll get there after work.

I think you mean Brentwood...where did you get Bridgend from?

I thought it was already on Thursdays! I’ve been watching it on a Thursday night after NXT... has it been on a different night the whole time?

[Supremo]

For the second straight week it felt like an upside-down or back-to-front show, where all the best stuff was during the first hour and then the second hour deteriorated into the usual NXT patter of OK matches you don't really need to pay attention to and not much going on in terms of excitement. I'm guessing things will change next week, with the whole show being on the USA Network, but still. It made for a weird viewing experience when a show gets less fun the longer it goes on. Once it became apparent Kushida's six-man tag was main eventing I started getting excited, trying to imagine what big tag team they were going to bring in or debut from the main roster. Putting them on last, I was half expecting the Motor City Machine Guns or something. But then it was just the Fashion Police. What a disappointment.

Just got back from the show...enjoyed the first hour v much, Keith lee v dijak was heaps of fun and legs to riddle chasing the belt. Didn’t follow much of the second hour though.

was hanging out at the ale house afterwards and triple h stopped in to say hello which was a nice gesture. I believe theres footage on the network and I’ll be signing headshots for $5.
