Ugh, I just couldn’t with NXT last night. I don’t know, the Velveteen Dream thing is kind of rubbing me the wrong way and I haven’t been feeling the last couple of episodes I’ve reviewed, so I did the Saturday Morning Showdown instead. We’ll give it another shot next week.
I’m definitely gonna try Smackdown tonight though.

Well that’s, uh, certainly a match.
I dunno, is anyone, like, super-excited for Takeover tomorrow? I’m sure it’ll be good, but stuff like Io Shirai v. Dakota Kai sticks out like a sore thumb there.
