Nah, Smackdown team just needed a face and it was either Apollo Crews or a McMahon so the choice was pretty easy

Here's my small little review of NXT Takeover:
Roode vs Tye "10" - Didn't see it as I was outside but man Roode's entrance. Fucking fiyah.
TM-61 vs Authors of Pain - Didn't see it, don't care for it.
#DIY vs The Revival 2 out of 3 Falls - I didn't think this would top their first encounter since 2 out of 3 Falls matches aren't so great but man these two teams know each other so well. The Revival were fucking awesome with their heel tactics which in turn made you want to root for #DIY. Not upset that #DIY won because this was the perfect time. Does The Revival go to the main brands or stick around for another rematch? Who knows but they and #DIY deserve success after this brawl.
Mickie James vs Asuka - People thought this would be so gimmick throwaway match because of a returning Superstar. However, I'm glad Mickie proved the doubters wrong. This was a great women's match and it definitely surpasses the Asuka/Bayley encounters by far. The ending was a bit abrupt so I'm hoping WWE gives Mickie another chance at Asuka and maybe have her win. There's no other woman on NXT on Asuka's level and after that match, I'm pretty sure the crowd wants more Mickie.
Samoa Joe vs Shinsuke Nakamura - Pretty great rematch. Samoa Joe came out like a final boss while Nakamura's String Style Squad was a bit too corny. Back and forth stuff with Samoa suffering a laceration. If someone deserves to be a 2-time NXT champion, I'm glad it's Joe because not only he deserves it, it's fucking believable. He's a monster heel to the fullest. I don't think this hurt Nakamura's rep and maybe it'll light a fire under him for their potential rematch.

I love the Revival and I'm so worried they'll not work out. I think if they go to Smackdown they'll, maybe, fit in perfectly? I just love that there is a Horseman esque tag team that hasn't dropped it yet. I'm way more into smaller gimmicks than over the top angles.

Ugh, just saw the tweet. Im ready for their career 12-team tag matches.
They should just move up Revival & DIY, put them on Smackdown and let that division flourish. I know people hate the Usos, but I think with AA, Revial and DIY there could be a solid tag group there.

Best show the wwf's put on this year.
Revival/DIY was the standout match of course, but the other championship matches were great too, and the roode/dillinger and tm61/authors matches were fun enough.
The Joe music botch was hilarious.

Corbin was obviously dropped from the tag match so he can start his feud with DA UNDAHTAKAH, the big bad wolf of Smackdown is gonna huff and puff and blow Taker's house down.
See look at that promo potential.
No need to apologise, Joey Samoey is the superior champ.

I always skimmed his try-hard posts anyway.
Given how they treated the club and American alpha I fear for them in the main roster.

God yes, CFO$ usually hits it out of the park, the Revival theme is like a foul tip into their own crotch.
I love their theme. Completes the package of them feeling like 90s heels.

I love Asuka's selling of the kick.
I missed seeing that kick...

Please give Joe all the titles. Look at him:
I can't take this guy seriously the facial expressions and the way he walks, it looks like hes about to crap his pants. the samoan tag team guys they had when lesnar was around in his 1st run were better.

Not exactly a fan of Lethal, so not terribly excited for that main event...or Briscoes/Bucks in singles matches, but Ospreay vs Scurll, Castle vs Rush & Dijak vs White should be pretty good, plus MCMG vs Addiction vs reDRagon.

zach showing his ass on national television again
Watched TakeOver late last night.
DIY vs The Revival was absolutely fucking incredible. How those guys could remember that many complex spots, and execute on all of them, is beyond me. God damn. That goes right in my list for MOTY contenders.
Great opening match too. Both Roode and Tye had a larger than life feel in the ring, and they had the crowd eating from their palms. I really hope they give Tye a legit shot on the main roster, there's star presence there with him. Nothing needs to be said about Roode, dude is an absolute legend.
I loved how over the 10 chant was the entire night. I hope that helps Tye get an actual push.

Her appearance on Raw Talk says otherwise.
That is beautiful! Could've been a little faster, but that's really nitpicking.

I immediately rewinded the stream and watched that again when I saw that. Fucking beautiful..

So I typically just watch takeovers. Can revival cut a promo at all?
To be fair koko b ware Bird is a wwe hall of famer
Koko B Ware's bird was a better promo
They give great heel promos. Especially Scott Dawson.

Well that was my only concern about them on the main roster. Hopefully they're not squandered or fed to new day. Revival should hugely elevate whatever show they go to. In ring story telling is a lot more resistant to bad writing. Its why Owens was bulletproof for so long.

I honestly thought the hart attack was going to be the move to end the match. Caught me off guard.
Dash and Dawson are both short non-buff guys, so I do worry how Vince will think they should be used. If put on Smackdown though, I am more confident that they will thrive. And if thrown on RAW... it could be pretty catastrophic for them.
Because his character is horribly scripted.
I'd cheer for Roman if that's how he came out to the ring.
Of course Booker T is his hype man. Of course.
