They still have one more show before the PPV don't they? Why don't they have the semi-finals there? We all know it's gonna be Joe and Balor vs Gable and JJ anyway.

The show is next week. There's no more NXT episodes before it.

I'm just sad the Vaudevillains and Blake & Murphy aren't on the card.

Solid ass card imo.

I thought NXT was on Tuesday? Takeover is gonna be on Wednesday, I believe.

Either way, I like the card. I know Balor/Joe are gonna win cause it's gonna set up their match for the next PPV. I'm most excited for the main event, though.

NXT is always on Wednesday, for specials and regular shows.

Joe will turn on Balor leading them to feud and Jason Jordan and Gable to win.

They're going to win and then they're gonna use that as a storyline to pay respect to Dusty.

The winner of the tourney prolly gets a tag title shot and it wont be Balor/Joe
