So Dream wins the opportunity to challenge for any title in Worlds Collide tournament and chooses the mid card belt?
:beli:

Imagine the rumble winner challenges the IC champion..... this is just stupid. Happy Dream got some gold but he look like a damn fool.

All so Gargano and Ciampa can get another takeover main event... because we sure need more of that tired ass story.
:camby:

Well I mean he could have just lost to Ciampa again & had 2 losses against him for no reason :yeshrug:


They going to get that Gargano over Ciampa for the title payoff one way or the other. At least now when Gargano has that belt Dream can talk up already taking 1 belt from him before.

Hopefully it's defended on all brands but I might be getting my hopes up too much. :martin:
Yeah I don't think they're gonna include NXT. Sasha posted this on tumblr the other day

I don't think they're going to have the belts defended at NXT. I could see them moving up Io and Kairi up as a team though

It should be and I don't see why not. We have recently had Cesaro and Tyler Breeze show up at NXT, and even Nicky Cross showed up on a Smackdown to challenge Becky that one time. I think I even saw Cross on RAW one night. They're not giving a fukk sometimes.

It's not a common thing to cross over guys between the rosters like that, but it doesn't have to be the norm. I think there was even a quote from HHH about having more interaction between the brands this year. So having the WWE Women's Tag Team champions show up and put their belts on the line at a Take Over would be dope and bring more attention to NXT. In fact you could have the titles change hands, then recap it and make it an angle on RAW or something. In a way it would be like when they change titles at house show, but ONLY because it's not expected and it gets people talking.

You wouldn't think a WWE title belt would be put up on an NXT show, so it would a good look for the brand and it's different. And if a team as good as the Sky Pirates won, who could be mad at that?

I also think that more interaction between the brands would help the stars who are stuck in a rut. It kind of takes things back to the NWA territory days, and in a way since the WWE already has its own territory system within its own company, pushing their stars through their ecosystem would help give everyone a fresh start. Keeping guys in one place for too long can make them seem stale and slow their momentum. This is what they need to start doing. Don't just "call up" people anymore, rotate them between rosters and shows. They all have their own style of presentation and approach anyways.


Anyways it's doubtful they'll do something like that for NXT, because up until now its an afterthought and has been treated like the off-brand stepchild from HHH. I'm hoping this year that changes, but you never know.
