OCD going crazy here. Why wouldn’t you match the order of the names to the order they’re stood in the pictures?

I'd love to see Ohno kick Dream's ass but unfortunately I think this is where he starts to go on a bit more of a "Jobber to the Stars" type role.

they are giving out some year-end awards.
Aleister Black won Male Superstar of the Year and Breakout Star of the year. I don't know if any were given before I turned it on. |

Asuka wins Female Superstar of the Year. Says no one in the Royal Rumble is ready for Asuka.
Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunn gets Match of the Year. Tyler Bate accepts the award while looking like a "right wanker". |

Forgot about Mauro Ranallo again. Hope he has continued to improve and isn't too unbearable.

Cool video package for the women's match. Looks like it has been a good angle. Mauro almost ruined the whole thing by yelling "THE SUBMISSION MAGICIAN", though.

Is he back? I think I remember him coming back but haven't watched nxt in a long long time so I obviously forgot. May or may not watch this. Depends how much they hook me. Anywho, Joe is doing a nice enough job on the panel.

Mauro came back several months ago. He definitely called the last Takeover. Not sure about the one before that. I don't think he was there yet.

When is Ciampa ready to come back?
I'd say maybe he causes Gargano the match tonight. |

Yeah I was thinking Ciampa costs Gargano the match tonight. Almas can feud with Black or someone else after this. Gargano/Ciampa is enough of a blood feud to not need the belt.

Zelina Vega was legit the best thing to happen to Almas in NXT. Sort of like how Jason Jordan was seriously floundering before getting paired with Gable, same can be said of Almas before Vega became his manager.

Probably something like Cesaro where they are the best as a tag team but not going to go any higher than a reign or two as IC/US champ. The real prize out of the group is Cole since Triple H spent several years trying to get him.

Saw Kyle O'Reilly at an EVOLVE show and he beat Keith Lee... Just didn't seem "believable" at all... generic small white guy beating Keith Lee, who rules

Good idea to do the injury angle. Gives UE a believable chance

Good match.
Really liked that ending with it being "AoP would have won if AoP Member on the Left's knee wasn't weak and he stumbled" |
