NXT August 19/20

It’s the final show before NXT: Takeover 30 this weekend during the Summerslam weekend.

I am loving the idea of the Thunderdome concept. I will keep trying to see if I can get registered. More info on the WWE.com website.

Second chance match for the North American Ladder match. Johnny Gargano, Ridge Holland in singles action, with the winner to head to the title match. Candice is still at ringside to help her man. I told you that Candice would be the decider in the match.

Dakotas Kai in action, who will face Io Shirai on Saturday at NXT Takeover. Kai had to earn that win. My money is on Io on Saturday. Thanks to Raquel Gonzalez, Io was left lying in the ring. Here is hoping that she won’t play a part in a steal but anything can happen.

6 man tag match featuring Legado Del Fantasma facing Breezango /Swerve Scott. I would not want to be the Ref in this match, he is giving it a little leeway but they are all out for each other. They are cutting off the ring, keeping Fandango to get help. Legado might of got the win but they had to earn it.

Pat McAfee arriving at Full Sail. Pat will be facing Adam Cole in a match at NXT: Takeover 30.

Just in from Mr. Regal’s desk. On the NXT Takeover pre show there will be a #1 contenders match between Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch vs Breezango vs Legado Del Fantasma.

Undisputed Era on the way to the ring. Adam screaming for Pat to come to the ring. Adam is holding it back, allowing Pat to have his time on the mic. He cut a pretty good promo. I see an all-out war coming.

The Robert Stone Brand (Aliyah/Mercedes) facing Rhea Ripley/Shotzi Blackheart in tag action. It was messy, Mercedes tried everything to take out Rhea but it was a powerbomb by Rhea taking out Mercedes, with Shotzi getting the win.

Karron Kross will face Keith Lee for the NXT Title on Saturday and I can bet it won’t be pretty. I can’t see any reason to take the title off Keith but anything can happen.

Finn Balor facing Velveteen Dream. for the final spot into the North American Ladder Match. What the hell is Grimes doing out there. Screaming that the North American Title is his. Grimes is sitting on top of the ladder holding the title. In all that kaos, Dream gets the ugly win, heading to Take Over.
