forameus Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 RAW is also going to get three picks for every two Smackdown ones, to account for RAW having the extra hour. They've also said that tag teams will be kept together, unless either GM particularly wants to take just one of them. So obviously at least one team is getting broken up, going by that. The 6 NXT Stars is interesting though - I didn't think they'd be so open about it, get a bigger pop when it happens. It's definitely one way to get ratings for Tuesday though. For me, it's obviously Balor coming up, nailed on. Beyond that though they'll be booking themselves into a corner based on what happened at NXT tapings. Spoiler below on that if you don't want to know details about the card Before reading about Takeover, I would say it'd be Balor, Bailey and Nakamura with three others. Bailey could still go, but she has a match with Asuka at Takeover the day before Summerslam. I imagine she'll lose that, but you've then got a month where she's part of a main roster but still "building" to a match at Takeover. Not sure how they'd work that. But they could make it work. Nakamura is a bit different. He's facing Joe at Takeover. If they have Joe beat him, it'd lose a bit of Nakamura's mystique, especially if the plan is to have him lose then get promoted. Or could they draft Joe instead? But then that would rob the Takeover match of any kind of tension, knowing that Nakamura was going to win and Joe move up. I think they'll keep both Nakamura and Joe down for now - that gives them months and months of a top-tier feud for the title. Because of all that, I'm going to say that the 6 are Balor, Bailey, American Alpha (taking up two spots), Nia Jax...and some absolute jobber that everyone will be furious about. Dillinger or something. Someone for McMahon to roundly book into a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Think Dillinger just needs a main program or two on NXT. He's still needing a bit of work in the ring. He's not far away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinobiDandy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Dillinger still works as a NXT trainer I believe, hes also pushing on 35/36. Cant see him ever making move up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I take it everyone has to be picked? Would be great to see both brands being like "nah I'm not having them" (Shining Stars, Ascension etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, this allows her to do that and actually still wrestle with NXT. Basically it's the Owens thing. Appear on the main roster, but as a member of NXT. Allows her to finish her business there.
