I think Columbus is sold out too. Glad I bought tickets before they sold out on Ticketmaster.

Haven't had a chance to give my thoughts on the most recent show; very busy lately...
Excellent opening with Owens, Regal and Zayn...simple, effective, been done many times in the past because it works; this is enhanced due to the quality of work from Owens and Zayn...
The backstage stuff with Enzo, Cass and Carmella then BAM and Bliss was decent; good to see Alexa again...setting up for a potential six-person match maybe?
Not a bad match between Enzo/Cass and BAM...crowd loved Enzo and Cass to bits...
I don't mind Becky Lynch, but out of Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley and Alexa, she's in fifth place, and a somewhat generic promo won't change that IMO...much less her in-ring work and awful headbanging...
A nice video package doesn't endear Baron Corbin more to me as time goes on.
I cringed when I saw Bayley's graphic next to Dana Brooke; and continued when Brooke came out, was in control and subsequently went over...the only times I didn't was when Bayley entered and was in control...says a lot that for three weeks now all I do is cringe when I see this 'Total Diva' do anything or say anything...good to see Emma, let's see what she can do as a heel...
Hideo vs Adam Rose was...um...there, I suppose...
So Breeze, Balor and Itami at Takeover...interesting...
Concessions Kane's boss, Sarah Dobson, doesn't look half bad here in a squash against Becky Lynch...looks-wise, that is.
Perhaps Rhyno vs Corbin will be a better test of Corbin's ability to grow as a performer; you can't get better against the likes of Bull(poop) Dempsey...
Main event was moreso for story and I get that; great to see the apron powerbomb again...Owens was great on commentary and was looking strong as we head towards Takeover, which makes perfect sense...

Tempted to buy either a Tyler Breeze, Enzo and Cass, or the Finn Bálor "Catch Your Breath" shirt... Hmmmm. Decisions.

Thus weeks episode was alright but I hated the fact Bayley lost. Hope this is the last of Alex "Rage" Riley since he is a waste of space on the show.

What's with the Riley hate? I like this more aggressive gimmick. He was green back in his days with The Miz, but he's improved and is fluent on the mic. Surprising WF hates him.

Imo, Riley had improved in the ring years ago when he was wrestling on Superstars every week. I think people hate Riley because they're still salty over his commentary run.

He was awful on commentary. That being said, it's not why I dislike him. He's nothing special. Mediocre worker and talker.

I believe he's the complete opposite of what people think. I enjoyed him during his time with Miz. Now that he's wrestling again, it's exciting to see him in the ring with a purpose. His new aggressive character is awesome. I wasn't a fan of his commentary, though.

Finally watching. Opening segment was great. I swear Zayn keeps getting more French Canadian Backstage stuff was all good. Enzo and Cass are always great and the Riley/Zayn segment was good too. Tag match was fun. Becky Lynch promo was good, though not great. I like her a lot, but something is missing to complete the puzzle. The headbanging needs to go. It's just awkward and it makes it seem like she's trying to hard to be a rocker. I'm not saying she isn't really, but on air it seems off. Dana Brooks looks impressive and has charisma, but she needs a lot more work to fulfill any potential she has. I really think they should have held off longer to put her on TV. Bayley was great as always. Heel Emma confuses me. Triple threat match will be awesome. I can't wait to see who takes the win. Rose in his Jimmy Valiant pants is always good. I really think he should study Valiant's mannerisms and drop the rose buds. He could really do well if given the chance. He won't be a main eventer, but he should be more than what he is. Good match with him and Hideo. Not amazing, but it served its purpose. Nice match with Lynch. The only downside to the female enhancement matches is that they often feature women who should be under contract, but aren't. Nice main event. Owens on commentary was fun and the ending built the feud really well. I can't wait for May 20. I'll make sure to be on live for that one.

Anybody looking forwards to NXT Take Over: Unstoppable? I know I am. As far as last week's NXT, hearing Becky Lynch talk was the main highlight for me. The finish with the Dana Brooke/Bayley match was just so ****ing cliché. I hate distraction finishes so much. The rest of the show was okay. I don't need to dlve into what was covered.

The only prescription is more Bayley. Damn, now I can't pick between Bayley and Becky Lynch. I could say more but I don't want to get warned.

Becky Lynch needs to cut some more promos so her character can have more depth.
