NXT Champion Finn Bálor vs. Kevin Owens (NXT Championship Ladder Match)

 

 

The stakes have been raised even higher for the huge main event of NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, as NXT Champion Finn Bálor will defend his title against former champion Kevin Owens at the Barclays Center in a Ladder Match!

 

The rematch was originally announced by NXT General Manager William Regal at San Diego Comic-Con, where both Bálor and Owens took part in a packed panel presented by Mattel, featuring the unveiling of both Superstars’ first WWE action figures. It came hot on the heels of Bálor’s stunning championship victory in Tokyo. Just days after becoming the first competitor to pin Owens inside an NXT ring, Bálor returned to Japan, the country where he first made a name for himself as a competitor, donning his demonic war paint as he charged into battle against the brutish Owens. While Owens sought to slow down his otherworldly opposition, Bálor withstood Owens’ onslaught and crushed him with the Coup de Grace to become the NXT Champion.

 

During the contract signing for the battle in Brooklyn, Owens attacked the NXT Champion, also striking Regal when the NXT General Manager tried to stop him. Owens apologized for his actions in a WWE.com exclusive video, but Regal made his feelings for the challenger clear.

 

Owens seized on Regal’s statements, claiming the NXT General Manager is out to prevent him from regaining the title. He said the only way to prevent another “Montreal Screwjob” is to hang the NXT Championship from the Barclays Center rafters and see who can retrieve it first. Bálor said he would take the match under any circumstances, so Regal made the Ladder Match official.

 

Will Finn Bálor prove that his victory in Tokyo wasn’t a fluke, or will Owens send The Demon back to the netherworlds and reassert his dominance over NXT? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn on Saturday, Aug. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, only on the award-winning WWE Network!

 

NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks vs. Bayley

 

 

Bayley is on a quest to prove that she’s among the best NXT has to offer. She’ll face the ultimate test of her skills when she challenges NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks at TakeOver: Brooklyn on Saturday, Aug. 22.

 

The happy-go-lucky Diva had fallen on hard times in recent weeks, being forced out of action with a hand injury inflicted by the ruthless Emma. Bayley returned to the ring in July, getting a measure of payback with a victory over Emma, before issuing a challenge to one of NXT’s most respected competitors, Charlotte. Bayley claimed that if she wanted to be the best, she needed to beat the best.

 

Charlotte was more than happy to accept the challenge of her friend and former rival. However, she stepped in the ring with a different Bayley than the one she faced at TakeOver: R Evolution last December. Bayley was aggressive from the get-go and took the best Charlotte could throw at her, yet still battled on. After defeating the former champion with a Bayley-to-Belly off the ropes, the jubilant Diva asked NXT General Manager William Regal for the opportunity to challenge Banks. Regal said Bayley was more than deserving, but still had one more test ahead of her.

 

That test came in the form of a No. 1 Contender’s match against Becky Lynch. Bayley fought valiantly, escaping the Dis-arm-her once and reversing a second attempt into a roll-up to win the match!

 

Standing in the way of Bayley achieving her dreams is Banks, who has been on a tear since capturing the NXT Women’s Title at TakeOver: Rival in February. The Boss has been dominant in NXT and on the main WWE roster, where she has helped usher in a Divas Revolution as part of Team B.A.D. with Naomi and Tamina. She has experience performing on a huge stage, just like the sold-out Barclays Center will be on Aug. 22. Can she use it to her advantage?

 

Can Bayley realize her dreams and become NXT Women’s Champion, or will Sasha Banks show why she’s The Boss? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, live on WWE Network Saturday, Aug. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT!

 

NXT Tag Team Champions Blake & Murphy vs. The Vaudevillains

 

 

The Vaudevillains will have retribution on their mind as they challenge Blake & Murphy for the NXT Tag Team Championship at TakeOver: Brooklyn on Saturday, Aug. 22, live on WWE Network.

 

Aiden English & Simon Gotch surprised the NXT Universe when they defeated Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady to become No. 1 Contenders to the titles several weeks ago, and were on a roll heading into their championship showdown with Blake & Murphy.

 

When the two teams clashed for the NXT Tag Team Championship on July 29, it was The Vaudevillains who looked to be on the verge of victory, and set Murphy up for the Whirling Dervish. However, the champions’ feisty manager, Alexa Bliss, tripped English as he charged into the ropes, causing a distraction that allowed her tandem to escape with the titles.

 

After the bout, The Vaudevillains got a measure of payback, hitting Blake with the Whirling Dervish and tossing Murphy from the ring. Left alone in the ring with Bliss, English & Gotch were in the perfect position to get revenge for having their dreams dashed. However, the gentlemanly duo refused to put their hands on a woman, and instead opted to hold the ropes open and allow Bliss to leave the ring. Their chivalry earned them each a slap in the face from the fierce Diva, who called The Vaudevillains pathetic before leaving with the champions.

 

NXT General Manager William Regal granted the old school duo a championship rematch at the Barclays Center on Aug. 22, but suggested that English & Gotch find a way to counteract Alexa Bliss this time around.

 

Can The Vaudevillains neutralize the ever-present threat of Alexa Bliss, or will Blake & Murphy manage to walk out of Brooklyn with the NXT Tag Team Championship? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, live on WWE Network Saturday, Aug. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT!

 

Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin

 

 

Two of NXT’s most destructive competitors will collide at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, when Samoa Joe locks horns with Baron Corbin.

 

For months, Corbin has been wreaking havoc throughout NXT, demolishing nearly everyone in his path in mere seconds with the devastating End of Days. Seemingly tired of the quick bouts, Corbin finally stood over another one of his fallen foes and brazenly declared that no one could get up from his impactful finisher.

 

Taking that statement as a challenge, Samoa Joe strode to the ring and got in The Lone Wolf’s face, saying that there’s no chance Corbin could connect with End of Days on him. When Corbin disagreed, Joe dared the monster to try right then and there. Corbin said he’d be happy to, but not then. Joe tried to halt The Lone Wolf, but set off a brawl instead! Corbin appeared to have the upper hand on Joe as he pummeled him into the canvas. The Lone Wolf picked Joe up and threw him into the ropes, looking to hit End of Days, but Joe ducked under Corbin’s arm and locked on the Coquina Clutch.

 

The NXT Universe was stunned as Joe’s submission maneuver brought Corbin to his knees. They were shocked beyond belief as the hold quickly put the near-unstoppable Superstar to sleep. Full Sail University erupted in cheers as Joe stood over the fallen Corbin. NXT General Manager William Regal, perhaps sensing that more carnage was to come, almost immediately sanctioned a match between the two bruisers for TakeOver: Brooklyn.

 

Who will stand tall when NXT’s hardest-hitting competitors clash: Samoa Joe or Baron Corbin? Watch the chaos unfold at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn and find out! It all goes down Saturday, Aug. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

 

Jushin 'Thunder' Liger vs. Tyler Breeze

 

 

International Superstar Jushin “Thunder” Liger will make his first-ever appearance in a WWE ring at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn when he steps between the ropes to face Tyler Breeze at the live WWE Network special.

 

Finding himself outside of the NXT Championship picture heading into the Aug. 22 spectacular at the Barclays Center, Prince Pretty pestered NXT General Manager William Regal for weeks, demanding a high-profile match in Brooklyn. Regal promised that he was working on something special for the gorgeous Superstar, but warned him to be careful what he wished for.

 

Regal revealed his plans for Breeze on the Aug. 5 edition of NXT, when he announced that Prince Pretty will go toe-to-toe with Liger at TakeOver! Breeze seemed satisfied with the bout, later promising to ruin the legendary grappler’s WWE debut.

 

Breeze faces his biggest test yet in Liger, a grappler with four decades of in-ring experience. Liger helped usher in the high-flying style of wrestling in the early 1990s, and is credited with the invention of the Shooting Star Press. His rivalry with Brian Pillman in WCW produced several matches that are regarded as classics to this day. Now, he brings his hard-hitting, high-flying style to NXT.

 

Will Tyler Breeze make good on his promise to steal the spotlight from his opponent, or will Jushin “Thunder” Liger’s WWE debut be another memorable moment in his legendary career? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, Saturday Aug. 22 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, live on the award-winning WWE Network!

[El Colosso]

Man, o pop da Bayley quando ela ganhar vai ser fantástico

[Ruas]

[Naitch]

As usual, fucking hype for this shit! :prayer:

[Poeira]

Vai dar 10-0 ao SummerSlam. Não falho isto nem por nada.

[Phil]

por acaso o card não me aquece muito.

[Naitch]

Man, o pop da Bayley quando ela ganhar vai ser fantástico

 

 

Quero tanto.

[Phil]

coitadinha da Bayley à beira da Boss. 8-)

[Naitch]

Estou a aprender a gostar da Sasha mas, neste momento, a Bayley precisa mais do titulo do que a Sasha. Then again, depois até se pode concentrar no titulo da Nikki. Se formos a ver, it's for the greater good.

[Phil]

Ah sim, isto está feito para a Sasha perder o título e rumar ao main-roster definitivamente, tipo o Owens.

 

Eu desde que comecei a ver o nxt, meses finais de 2014 que fiquei fã da Sasha, desde o primeiro combate e promo dela. Já disse aqui que foi a primeira wrestler feminina que me fez markar. É a melhor da WWE muito facilmente no computo geral neste momento.

[Almeno]

Estou muito muito muito mais entusiasmado com isto do que com o Summerslam.

[Phil]

o Summerslam tem dois combates do crl e alguns bem interessantes já alinhavados. Não sejam maus.

[Kenny Omega]

Eu também estou mais entusiasmado para isto do que para o Summerslam. :mrgreen:

Eu sei amigo, mas é a realidade.

 

E eu não disse que o Summerslam era mau. O Taker x Lesnar, o WWE title, o Tag do Arrow vão ser muito fixes :)

 

Vou subscrever a network no dia 21 e ganho 2 meses por 10e 8)

[santi_07]

Devo ser o único que não está muito entusiasmado com isto, deve ser o card mais fraquito desde o Takeover do Neville vs Kidd, salva-se o main event por ser ladder match e o evento ser em Brooklyn...

Possível grande spoiler do Takeover nas gravações do NXT:

Muuuuito provavelmente não é spoiler nenhum, no SquaredCircle também disseram que parecia um dark match/house show.

 

Se no Beast in the East não houve spoiler nenhum, não acho que fossem assim descuidados no maior evento até agora. Era muito LOLTNA.

NO PWInsider dizem que a Sasha também lutou com o título num dark match, por isso sim provavelmente é para confundir os fãs e manter o interesse :mrgreen:

 

[Phil]

Fácil. Acham que eles iam spoiler o maior evento da história do nxt assim?

[Ruas]

Tou para ver como é que o Corbin se porta no ringue com um gajo como o Joe :mrgreen:

[Almeno]

[End]

A que horas de Portugal é isto?

[Kev]

Às 2h de dia 23.

[Kenny Omega]

Do twitter do HHH, provavelmente só o Apollo vs Dillinger estarão no card o resto deve ser gravações.

Às 2h de dia 23.
