Entrances aside, gonna be hard for this match to feel worthy of being the main event.

Looks like a better X division title.
Drew is a lot different today than when he left.

He was floundering in WWE, made himself a god on the UK scene, and he can easily slot into NXT as a main eventer.
Drew did good work to build himself back up on TNA and the indie british scene. he has cred and is a more valuable commodity now than when he left.
We gonna have some call ups to the main roster after Mania, so they need new people for NXT

He was really, really damaged goods because they had him in 3MB so long. He left, went on the indies and got a really great reputation, and now he comes back to the hot NXT brand as a star. Then after a time in NXT as a star, he comes up to the main roster with a new gimmick and new rep.
WWE is terrible at managing talent. They have to go away, become good due to creative freedom, and then come back.
They waste more talented guys that anyone.

New belts look fantastic, remind me more of big gold than the old NXT belts

LOL Thinking Vince would put someone of Shinsukes caliber anywhere but RAW to make Roman Look Strong.

It was amazing in San Antonio. If they do that again, it's more than worthy.

I'd guess so...I'm glad he's back in WWE and NXT is probably the best place for him to get used correctly at all

Does Asuka look 35 or does Tye look 35 as well?

James Storm is dumb AF he probably would have won the NXT title once by now and would have made it to the main roster.....

Guessing this will be the same rowdy crowd for Raw and Smackdown
Wrestlemania gets drowned out a lot due to so many people there

Damn at the amount of replies haha.
That was kinda what I was getting at, I take it they no longer build peolple up the way they did in the Attitude era? It's just 'See ya!' if you're not instant?

It was good. Just with the card they've had tonight, tough acts to follow.

Is GLORIOUS available to purchase? I think I need that on my phone immediately.
And both will be longer than Goldberg vs Brock.

I'm willing to bet Nakamura ends up on SD.
Vince does not have this vendetta against SD as most seem to think. In case you don't know, he makes money off of both brands. Raw is already getting a big babyface back in Balor. Makes no sense for Nakmura to have to fight for spotlight. On SD he can have it for himself.

by the next Takeover they could have Adam Cole
in NXT if he leaves ROH

Well...yeah?
What are people's standards for looking old in their 30s/40s exactly? Hulk Hogan?

AJ and Nak on the same show would be too good to be true thats why It won't happen.

It makes me sad that mania is a nostalgia card every year now. You have your hhh match, your undertaker match, whatever rock and his mates are up to, etc. I get that it's a business that needs to always be profitable but what happens when these old farts get too old to work and they have no main eventers? Mmm.
Yeah still mad that JeriKO isn't for the Raw title.

Him and Roode are better as a team then as singles wrestlers. not. Would love to see Beer Money against Revival and DIY
Booker T with his mustache in WCW in 2000.

NXT hit this out of the park.
I started the show on my second screen muted but by like 2 minutes into the tag match I put it on my TV unmuted and muted and threw the WNN Supershow on the second screen.

Drew is a level above those guys in terms of name value. Plus most of the UK guys have worked NXT too.

I probably should've specified Amazon (which I ended up finding!), but good lookin out either way.

Would be a mistake. You want those two in a ring to be a once in a lifetime event not a weejly one.
Pretty much. They also restrict wrestlers to the point where they aren't playing to their strengths.
When they are independent they can do stuff that suits them and are allowed to do shit that will actually get them over.
Not everyone can do gold with shitty gimmicks.

AJ going to raw is my guess.
