NXT rumble

By Scott Keith on 31 January 2018

I agree with the ratings. I thoroughly enjoyed the fast paced women's rumble, the men's to me though seemed to slow down at the final four, I almost want to say shin & Finn had to bog it down and work at the other twos pace and if just seemed to be stop motion at times.

Having said that, NXT rumble takeover next year? Is it overkill of the match? Could it overshadow the main rumble(s)? Nxt isn't flawless but they always have the talent in the ring and behind the curtain to book a hell of a card and I can't even imagine what'd they would have in store in terms of a final four finishing sequence . PLUS they would actually take the two months to build the title match as opposed to WWE's "let's not bother till after the February ppv"
​Too much of a good thing. I literally had to take a two hour break in between the men's and women's Rumbles as it is because the matches burn you out as a fan. Adding a third one that weekend would be complete overkill and I don't think the main roster would be able to follow it anyway. ​
