NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 2 Results

Austin Aries def. No Way Jose—Fans were so happy to see No Way Jose’s entrance, but they turned on him as soon as the match started. He’s like Andrew Dice Clay circa 2016.

Ember Moon def. Billie Kaye—Ember Moon had no business being this good this early into an unheralded debut. She’ll do just fine filling Bayley’s shoes.

Bobby Roode def. Andrade Almas—Chant of the night: Anything involving the words “Glorious.”

The Revival def. Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano—Few people can tell them apart, but it doesn’t matter because fans hate them both equally.

Asuka def. Bayley—Expect Bayley to beat Heath Slater on Raw or SmackDown for the next free agent contract.

Shinsuke Nakamura def. Samoa Joe—Fans seemed a bit tired by this point but rejoiced in Nakamura’s expected coronation. "YEAOH!"

Colonel Sanders is an awesome idea!

I miss the days when all wrestlers were cartoon characters with crazy gimmicks.

If they had a wrestler named Baby Man a new fan would instantly know he's adult man in an adult diaper who acts like a baby. aby Man would be fighting some guy name Stinky Sammy. You would know by his name that his gimmick is bad body odor. Now they have normal sounding names and look like any angry dude at the gym with tattoos that needs to shave.

Both my two favorite entrance themes.

Sucks for Finn Balor...got injured last night and had to drop the title at the beginning of tonight's Raw.

The Dudley Boyz announce their retirement.

And looks like Bayley's gonna be the next Women's Champion.

And the chase for the Universal Championship starts again. Next week on RAW, the title will be decided on a fatal four-way between Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, and Big Cass. God forbid Reigns getting the title.

Of those four, KO is the only option remotely appealing.

And is that silly best of seven series so important that they couldn't put stinkin' Cesaro into the 4-way title match?!

WWE doesn't want to put the belt on Cesaro for three reasons:

1. Last year, he made some rather critical comments on the WWE in a radio interview, and of course, it pissed off the higher-ups.

2. That shoulder tape he has does not give the WWE a lot of confidence in him, given the skyrocketing injury rate - especially among those who held championship belts.

3. Like Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko, he has natural wrestling talent, but no personality - even with that not-James Bond entrance gimmick.

To no surprise, TNA is up for sale. Following their Bound for Glory PPV this past Sunday, Dixie Carter reportedly secured enough funds to keep TNA afloat (or, in her words, "Cash flow positive") for the remainder of 2016. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, who currently owns a minority share, is in the middle of a bidding tug-of-war with WWE. We don't know why Vinnie Mac is holding back, as all he has to do is fork over his lunch money.

Regardless of who ends up owning TNA, it won't end well. If Corgan takes full control of TNA, will his music royalties be enough to support the promotion within the next few years? And if WWE buys TNA, will we see yet another Invasion angle?
