WWE NXT Takeover WarGames | Preview
All is far is love and war. But there is no love loss between the men and women of the NXT brand. It’s a battle of supremacy, a battle of good and evil, and ultimately a battle of which group of superstars truly run WWE’s black and gold brand. For the men and women of NXT, there’s only one answer to all the fighting… WAR GAMES. This is the preview for WWE NXT Takeover WarGames 2020! ____________________ Tommasso Ciampa vs Timothy Thatcher Tommasso Ciampa wants to revitalize and have NXT turn the clock back to its old ways. Timothy Thatcher believes…
Bust out the stuffing and present the turkey! It’s Thanksgiving! And for some that includes football, family, and fun. But for the NXT UK brand, it means feverous, fearless fighting, between the men and women of the hottest brand in the wrestling world. One F is missing on this holiday occasion: fashionable. As in Jinny who subsequently cost Piper Niven her chance to become the new NXT UK Women’s Champion after a chair shot heard round the world and a crash into a table became her end. Will Jinny answer for her crimes against the fiery Scottish superstar? Also, will…
Between a clash of egos for the North American Championship, a battle between the entire women’s division, a fight between kings and an era, and a memorable match between two true queens of the ring, NXT last week was nothing short of eventful. But even with these events all boiling down to the annual NXT Takeover: War Games taking place in two weeks, the party has just begun. How will Team LeRae and Team Blackheart shape up this week? What else will William Regal announce for the big PPV? And will Finn Balor have a challenger for his NXT Championship?…
While NXT has prepared for its own clash between two of the top women on the brand, NXT UK does the same and ups the ante. Kay Lee Ray and Piper Niven are subsequently destined to fight forever over the NXT UK Women’s Championship. But since the ring isn’t enough, the pinfall will be held. Well, wherever these two superstars want it to be. Plus, now that we have the NXT UK Heritage Cup finals, we hope to hear from both Trent Seven and A-Kid before their big showdown next week. That match is then; coming Up; NXT UK is now for…
With a wheel of misfortune, a dominance of kings and emperors, and a power move between NXT’s women, last week’s edition of NXT was a night to remember. But once again, this Wednesday is planned to be another epic event for the black and gold brand. For what it’s worth, some have fallen short in their defense of a title (we’re looking at you, Johnny Gargano), but the NXT Women’s Championship match will be a challenge for the ages as a ‘genius’ will go one on one against a ‘nightmare.’ And after their all-out assault on Tyler Breeze, Fandango, and…
Last week’s edition was filled with amazing matches and big moments from many of the black and gold finest. But as we have another edition of the show, we start to see who holds the pecking order of the brand. And for Pat McAfee, the answer would easily be the Kings Of NXT. But the “best 4 man group on the brand” will have a lot to prove by keeping the NXT Tag Team gold in their stable on this week’s show. Fresh off of Io Shirai’s impressive win at Halloween Havoc, she now sets her dreams of dominance on…
The dust has settled. The war was waged. And in the end, only one man stands tall as the NXT UK Champion. Last week’s show may have been filled with many other storylines surrounding the illustrious superstars who call BT Sport Studios home. Still, the match of the year between WALTER and Ilja Dragunov stole the brand and will leave an impression for years to come. A true mark of violence, expertise of mat wrestling, aerial assault, and big show of heart from both competitors, this match will take a piece of these men for the rest of their NXT…
