We Are NXT!
Official title for June 8th Takeover is: 'Takeover: Revenge.'
May 25th Episode:
* William Regal announces that Bayley isn't cleared to wrestle for the rematch against Asuka. He makes Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax in a #1 contenders match for the main event
* Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa defeated the debuting "TM61" Shane Thorne and Nick Miller in what was said to be an amazing match
* Austin Aries is out for a promo in the ring. He says he will be NXT Champion soon but Shinsuke Nakamura interrupts. Nakamura says the NXT Title will come to the King of Strong Style instead. Regal interrupts and makes Aries vs. Nakamura for "Takeover: Revenge"
* No Way Jose defeated Johnny Vandal in a quick squash. The crowd loved Jose. After the match, he went over to the announce table for a dance party with Corey Graves and Tom Phillips
* Nia Jax defeated Carmella and Alexa Bliss in a #1 contender's Triple Threat to earn a shot against NXT Women's Champion Asuka at Takeover. Nia pinned Carmella with a leg drop to win. This was a good match that the crowd was into all the way through. After the match, Asuka came out to the stage to hold the title up. She made her way to the ring and went face to face with Nia to end the episode
June 1st Episode:
* Dash and Dawson come out and talk about taking back their titles at Takeover. They admit American Alpha are great amateur athletes. Gargano and Ciampa interrupt. Ciampa says The Revival's time at the top is done and they can't beat Alpha or them. The Revival calls them "good hands" and Ciampa asks if they're speaking of themselves. Dawson tells them to go back to the bingo halls and let the top guys handle top guy business. Dash and Dawson goo to leave but Gargano accuses them of running up the ramp pretty fast for "top guys." Dash and Dawson come back but eat stereo dropkicks, then retreat
* Tye Dillinger defeated Murphy, who was alone. The crowd loved Dillinger
* Austin Aries defeated Elias Samson with the Last Chancery. Our correspondent noted that Samson had nuclear "go away" heat. Aries cut a promo after the match but fans chanted for Nakamura. Aries said at Takeover, he will make it official that he's the best in this ring
* Regal comes out for a contract signing with Nia Jax and Asuka. Nia says everyone has been running scared from Asuka but she doesn't understand why. She says Asuka beat Bayley but she broke Bayley. She says Asuka has never faced anyone like her and she's not scared of Asuka. Nia signs the contract. Asuka says Nia talks too much and signs also. Asuka then goes off on Nia in Japanese. Nia shoves her. Asuka comes back with strikes but Nia plants her with a powerbomb. Regal and two referees check on Asuka and help her to her feet
* Gargano and Ciampa defeated The Revival when Gargano reversed a top rope suplex into a pin. The Revival beat them down after the match and hit a Shatter Machine on Ciampa. American Alpha hits the ring for the save and a brawl breaks out. This ends the tapings as it's time for dark main events

There were a lot of call ups and shake ups to the roster following Mania. The build to Takeover: Dallas was great. I think they'll step it up prior to the SummerSlam weekend Takeover.
Guys/Girls i wanna see get more time
Tye Dillenger (his match with Aries made me a fan)
Ciampa/Gargano (wouldnt mind Ciampa as a solo heel either, hard hitting moveset)
Peyton Royce (we've seen what Alexa, Carmella, Nia, Bayley and Asuka bring to the table)
Interested in that monster tag team thats doing house shows. (Not looking foward to 2 months of squash matches though)

Ciampa as a heel is fukking LIT
his stiff moveset and complete willingness to shyt on everything the crowd loves is great
Glad to see Ciampa & Gargano, Ciampa mostly get a push 
They're definitely gonna have to work on building up more women after losing so many and now Dana & Emma
Dash & Dawson along with Blake & Murphy have the four most generic names of all time
Nakamura better kick Aries' fukking head off at Takeover
Still feel like they lost something with Enzo & Cass they haven't been able to fill yet

I've looked more forward to IMPACT this year then I have NXT..
NXT has bored me for the most part this year. The Balor/Joe feud plateaued at Takeover Dallas, and their rivalry wasn't knocking my socks off prior to Takeover, I just feel like they had a very good match. I still watch NXT of course for the ladies, Naka and AA, but it just feels like as a whole they are just spinning their wheels until the next special, and with all the talent they lost recently they are clearly in a down period.. It happens. Whereas with all the old TNA originals now gone from TNA, and with the new talent they have, IMPACT feels like a better, fresher show to me. I don't wanna sound like I'm mister TNA lol, I'm just enjoying what they are doing right now. I know a lot of peeps on TSC gave up on them, a long time ago, but IMPACT is actually worth checking out these days believe it or not.

What's going on with Athena/Adrienne Reese?
I wouldn't mind seeing some more Liv Morgan aswell, she's been pretty impressive whenever I've seen her.
