Samoa Joe is the new NXT Champion

[SteelCitySoldier]

What if they dropped this title change to get everyone's mind off Chyna

Hell naw. I would say that if Kofi got a title shot and won cleanly over Reigns Monday though

 

[Killah Ray]

The reason they did the title change this week instead of Takeover is because they wanted Finn to have the longest reign before he dropped it....

 

[TOAD99]

pretty dope

Honestly tho, I hope Balor isn't called up and costs AJ the match. Supergroup sounds better and than Finn eventually overthrowing AJ.

Otherwise they would saturate that matchup real quick and prob have AJ lose

Balor is boring

This is predictable tho. You have Finn drop the title on a non-televised event a week before Payback. It's only two ways this goes, Balor Club forms and they cost AJ the title, or Roman wins and AJ joins the other three in beating down Reigns after the match.

Unless they go with an extreme opposite, they cost AJ the title, and piss off the neckbeards by having them join up with Roman

I don't know there's a lot of options to play with. Knowing WWE they will choose the most uninteresting one but when is the last time we've given a shyt about WWE in late April? At least they are trying new shyt so far in the post-Mania period.

Good shyt for Joe and it lets them bring Finn up. I really don't want them to go AJ vs Finn from the jump. I'd have them as a super group then break up over the MITB then have a grudge match at SummerSlam.

Finn still doesn't have much of a personality. It's hard to say how well he'll do on the main roster.

Could be a work. No-one would expect an injured guy to show up at Payback

Or is it a worked injury to throw off people into thinking he's not being brought up to the main roster. Like they're testing if they can work the fans through social media

It's reported that Finn stood up and bowed after the match so you know... call up.

I Know Finn coming up, but they couldn't wait for TV

This makes the booking for him losing at TakeOver even worse

They should have called an audible and had him go over making him look like a true monster blood and all

If he lost at Takeover, then that kills the surprise of him coming up at PAYBACK... even though people assume he's coming up (which he prolly will) we still dont know for certain. Thats better booking than just having him lose at TAKEOVER. He might come up, he might not. We dont know whats going to happen. Thats good booking.

Wrestling fans always find a way to complain about something.

Somebody is always going to bytch because it wasn't done the way THEY wanted.
