TakeOver; Brooklyn is this week. Who will be Lesnar's opponent? Rusev is still the MITB holder...
NXT
Match 1. Zack Ryder vs. Damien Sandow
Match 2. The Vaudevillains vs. Lucha Dragons
Sin Cara hit Aiden with a flipping reverse STO. Gotch threw Kalisto to the outside and into the steel steps. After taking out Aiden, he tagged in Sin Cara. He hit Aiden with a super reverse DDT. Kalisto and Sin Cara hit Aiden with the diving clothesline/powerbomb combo, but Gotch broke up the pin, Aiden came back and hit That's A Wrap to win.
I was expected the Dragons to get the win, but a nice win for the Vaudevillains.
Match 3. Paige vs. Emma
Match 4. JBL vs. Cactus Jack
Match 5. Asuka vs. Tamina
Tamina stomped on Asuka for a bit and then sent her to the outside. Asuka came back with a neck breaker and running bulldog. Asuka wore down the left arm with an arm bar and wrench. She continued with a German suplex and dropkick to the head. Tamina tried coming back, but Asuka caught her with kicks to the chest. A little later, she connected with multiple strikes and kicks to win.
Asuka has impressed since debuting a couple of months ago. Could she challenge Paige for her title?
Match 6. Rusev vs. Hideo Itami vs. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens
One of these men could challenge Lesnar. Rusev and Zayn suplexed each other on the outside. Owens beat down Itami and then pulled out a sledgehammer. Itami kicked Zayn and landed a double foot stomp from the top rope. He then hit the hesitation dropkick in the corner. Rusev wore down Owens on the ramp. Itami hit the GTS, but Zayn kicked out. Zayn hit Rusev with the super brainbuster onto the top turnbuckle. Zayn and Itami knocked each other out on the outside. Owens landed a diving crossbody and the pop-up powerbomb on Rusev to win.
Great match. All four men had their moments and chance to win. Owens/Lesnar?
WWF
Match 1. Ryback vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Match 2. Stephanie McMahon vs. Naomi
Naomi landed two hurricanranas on the outside. Steph hit a monkey flip and spine buster in the ring. She then DDT'd Naomi on the apron. Naomi got a near fall after a springboard split-legged moonsault. Steph came back and landed a super back suplex to win.
Steph sent a message to Nikki. She will retain her title at Hell in a Cell.
Match 3. Nikki Bella vs. Layla
Match 4. Tyler Breeze vs. Chris Jericho
Match 5. Kurt Angle vs. Ric Flair
Wow. Before the match began, Michaels walked down and sat next to the announcers. Angle focused on the head/neck area of Flair. Flair blocked a suplex and sent Angle to the outside. Back in the ring, Angle threw Flair into the corner and Michaels stood up. He and Angle went nose-to-nose and Flair took control. Angle landed a diving elbow drop and multiple clotheslines. Flair locked in the Figure Four, but Angle escaped. Flair busted Angle open with a boot to the face. Much later, Flair locked Angle in the Figure Four a fourth time and got the pin,
I think HBK sitting at ringside got in Angle's head. This is only the beginning. Flair still got it.
Match 6. John Cena vs. Batista
Batista landed a back breaker. Cena caught Batista with a hurricanrana and a gutwrench slam. Batista left the ring and pulled out a table. Cena took it and drove the table into his ribs. Batista threw Cena into the steel post and took control. Cena popped up and went for the AA, but Batista blocked it. Cena landed a top-rope splash and got a near fall. He then connected with the AA, but Batista kicked out. Batista hit the Batista Bomb, but Cena kicked out this time. Batista connected with a spear, but Cena began his comeback. Batista landed a suplex and reverse DDT to get the win.
The Animal is on the rise. Can he be a threat to Cena and/or The Industry?
Heat
Match 1. Adam Rose vs. R-Truth
Match 2. Stardust vs. Jimmy Uso
Match 3. Neville vs. Kurt Angle
Recap: SmackDown was very eventful. Batista looks good. Steph is building a big title reign. Asuka picked up a big win and Kevin Owens is climbing the ranks.
