Heel Roman Coming back and saving WWE instantly

The Womens Tag match and SD Womens Title matches have been dropped and are likely to still happen but with different opponents, now is the perfect time for a Melina return

[Braden]

I can imagine the SD Women’s Title match involving Alexa in some way. God knows what’s happening to the tag match. Was really hoping to see Liv & Ruby win

[Denver]

Most likely that Lana and Natalya will take their place

[LaLaLand]

What’s the reason for them being axed?

Wrestling Inc. has provided an update on the story involving WWE talent and their third-party accounts on Twitch and other social media sites. The initial edict laid out in September told talent that they could no longer engage with third parties services online. Public backlash seemingly forced the company’s hand, and they declared that talent could keep their accounts as long as they used their real names instead of stage names and informed WWE about them.

In a new message released to talent today, WWE has informed its independent contractors that the company would be taking control of their Twitch accounts in four weeks’ time. WWE will own the accounts, and talent will receive an unspecified percentage of the revenue. This money will also count against their downside guarantees.

Capitol Wrestling Center to be unveiled tonight at NXT TakeOver 31

The black-and-gold brand will have an all new look tonight with the debut of the Capitol Wrestling Center.

As first reported by “Sports Illustrated,” NXT TakeOver 31 will emanate from the completely re-designed WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. The Capitol Wrestling Center name is a tribute to the Capitol Wrestling Corporation that was founded by Jess McMahon in 1953 and run by Vincent J. McMahon, serving as the precursor to WWE.

“It’s a historic callback to where this all began,” Triple H told Justin Barrasso of “Sports Illustrated.” “We gutted the Performance Center and it’s now rebuilt, so it feels like we’re going back to the beginning. To me, it feels like we’re going back to 1953. Just like then, we’re doing something different and new, taking the business to a whole new level.”

Similar to Raw and SmackDown’s home at the WWE ThunderDome, the Capitol Wrestling Center will have video walls surrounding the ring with virtual fans but will keep the distinct feel of the black-and-gold brand.

“The Capitol Wrestling Center captures the feel and the vibe of NXT. We will have all the bells and whistles of the ThunderDome, but we’ll keep that NXT feel. It’s edgier, darker and raw—you’re walking into the ultimate heavy metal soundstage,” said Triple H.

In addition to the virtual fans, NXT will also bring back a limited number of around 100 live fans in attendance as well.

“There will be a contingent of fans in attendance, some of which will be talent, others will be friends and family and some will be fans,” said Triple H. “We will take every safety precaution that there is. All of this was signed off by our medical staff. Everybody that walks in the building will be PCR tested, take a questionnaire and be medically screened. There will be plexiglass pods with fans that are in groups, and the groups will vary in size. Everyone will wear masks, and each group will never be near anyone else.”

Don’t miss the first look at the Capitol Wrestling Center and an epic NXT TakeOver 31 at 7 pm ET/4 pm ET tonight on the award-winning WWE Network as the black-and-gold brand ushers in a new era.

“The building is a throwback to Capitol Wrestling, a business that caused a shift in wrestling. That is exactly what we’re planning on doing again, starting today in NXT.”

Oooo...

[Jordan.]

Been so out of the loop with NXT since it moved off the network, not even sure when it airs over here anymore? Will still perch takeover regardless though.

[LaLaLand]

Very cool, great to finally have some proper fans back in attendance too:

HUGE NXT spoilers (re-debut and a return):

Spoiler:

Toni Storm appears on the screen and announces she's returning full-time to NXT and then right after that Ember Moon is revealed as the mystery returning superstar from the vignettes over the past few wees!

[Jordan.]

Back where she belongs also Toni coming to NXT, the womens division just got a breath of fresh air.

[LaLaLand]

They needed these two right now seeing as they've lost Mia, Mercedes and possibly a couple of others during next week's Draft (Chelsea/Vanessa apparently, maybe more - starting to think after tonight that Gargano/LeRae are on their way up possibly? Ripley should be called up too anytime now).

So exciting. Give me Io vs. Ember vs. Toni Triple Threat!!

[LaLaLand]

Speaking of Mia, I noticed today that her Insta bio says this:

Evil Twin Sister @ReckoningRTRBTN

Got me thinking - are we going to have RETRIBUTION as one entity, and then the members of the group as their NXT alter egos also appearing?

Like we could individual members appear solo as their yellow brand gimmicks like as if they're not apart of RETRIBUTION?

Imagine a show having a segment with the group, then later in the show we have, I dunno - Dijakovic vs. Keith Lee, Yim vs. Bayley or whatever, then another appearance from the group like nothing's happened? Be kinda cool.

[LaLaLand]

Rewatching Takeover again because it was so good.

Baylor vs. O’Reilly was phenomenal, so stiff.

Hope Balor’s jaw isn’t broken - his face was twice the size at the end of the match.
