NXT Championship Match: Bobby Roode © vs. Drew McIntyre

 

The undefeated Drew McIntyre has decimated every opponent thrown his way, and at TakeOver: Brooklyn III, the Scottish Superstar will finally get what he’s been in search of: The opportunity to challenge NXT Champion Bobby Roode.

 

McIntyre has maintained a laser focus on NXT’s top prize since he signed with the brand in April. He earned the title match the old-fashion way, piling up one win after another. With a smash-mouth style, he conquered the likes of Oney Lorcan, Andrade Almas and Killian Dain. McIntyre’s win over the previously undefeated Beast of Belfast secured an opportunity to face Roode.

 

With such an impressive resume, McIntyre might rightly be considered Roode’s most dangerous challenger to date. However, don’t expect The Glorious One to be intimidated. The resourceful and calculating veteran champion has consistently found ways to keep hold of the NXT Title against the stiffest competition. McIntyre says it’s no longer “Bobby Roode’s NXT,” but Roode will stop at nothing to prove otherwise.

 

 

NXT Women's Championship Match: Asuka © vs. Ember Mooon

 

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka is not only faced by a worthy challenger at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, but one that could spell the end of her historic title reign and undefeated streak. On Saturday, Aug. 19, at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Ember Moon will challenge The Empress of Tomorrow for the NXT Women’s Title in a highly anticipated rematch.

 

It’s hard to bet against Asuka, who has thwarted every opponent thrown her way since arriving in NXT in 2015. However, there is one competitor who had her on the brink of defeat during their first encounter at TakeOver: Orlando in April. The supremely talented Moon was mere moments away from nailing Asuka with her devastating Eclipse finisher during the match, only for the champion to shove the referee into the ropes and claim victory once again.

 

The debate continues as to whether Asuka, perhaps fearful that getting hit with Moon’s Eclipse would spell the end of her historic title reign, pushed the referee on purpose. Either way, Moon will get another opportunity to try to hit her acclaimed Eclipse finishing move and end the Empress’ title reign.

 

It hasn’t been easy for Moon to get back to this point, having been sidelined for more than a month after Asuka, of all people, threw her through the ropes to the floor, injuring Moon’s shoulder and keeping her out of TakeOver: Chicago.

 

Moon has since returned with a vengeance, looking more determined than ever to capture the NXT Women’s Championship. As for the titleholder, she went on a brief hiatus following her epic title defense against Nikki Cross in a vicious Last Woman Standing Match. The champion made it clear that she wasn’t going to return until a challenger worthy of her time stepped up.

 

That challenger has since come forward, and her name is Ember Moon. Can Moon do what no other woman has been able to and take the title away from Asuka? Or will the NXT Women’s Champion continue her unprecedented title reign?

 

 

NXT Tag Team Championship Match: The Authors of Pain © vs. SAnitY

 

The Authors of Pain will face their craziest challengers yet when they put their NXT Tag Team Championship on the line against SAnitY’s Killian Dain & Alexander Wolfe at TakeOver: Brooklyn III.

 

Led by WWE Hall of Famer manager Paul Ellering, Akam & Rezar have paved a path of destruction through NXT’s tag team division, laying to waste esteemed tandems such as #DIY and The Revival in the process. However, they have yet to face opponents like Dain & Wolfe, who can not only rival their size, but their love for inflicting pain.

 

Since arriving on the scene at NXT, SAnitY has targeted multiple Superstars, from Tye Dillinger to Drew McIntyre. Each time, the Eric Young-led faction used their strength in numbers to wreak havoc. SAnitY turned their attention toward the NXT Tag Team Champions on the July 12 episode of NXT when they menacingly stood on stage after Akam & Rezar’s successful title defense as pages from a book dropped from the sky.

 

Two weeks later, after disposing of Akam & Rezar’s opponents, the chaos-seeking tandem of Dain & Wolfe threw down with the titleholders in the middle of the ring. Their brief brawl provided a glimpse of the bedlam that is sure to ensue when these tag teams collide in Brooklyn.

 

 

Aleister Black vs. Hideo Itami

 

Knockout blows will not be in short supply when Aleister Black, still undefeated inside the yellow ropes, takes on the increasingly volatile Hideo Itami at TakeOver: Brooklyn III.

 

The two scary-intense warriors crossed paths on the Aug. 2 edition of NXT when Black, who was entering the ring for a match, interrupted Itami’s mid-ring diatribe. Itami took exception, but Black cleared him from the ring with Black Mass. Later in the evening, after NXT went off the air, Black and Itami got into it again as Itami tried to ambush Black in the parking lot.

 

It hasn’t taken much to provoke Itami’s temper recently. For weeks, the Japanese Superstar has decried his station and treatment in NXT. His demeanor has turned bitter and his actions unpredictable, such as his post-match attack against onetime ally Kassius Ohno.

 

If it’s respect that he wants, Itami need not look any further than his showdown against Black in Brooklyn. Itami is in search of a big win that will catapult him back into the main-event picture, and a victory against the tatted terror — who has decimated everybody he has faced so far — might just accomplish that. Black does not seem particularly interested in starting beefs, but he might be all too happy to settle them. The pencak silat master has vanquished mighty competition since making his NXT debut. Black, however, has yet to face a Superstar with the credentials of Itami, making TakeOver’s battle of elite strikers even more compelling.

 

 

Johnny Gargano vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas

 

Intent on making a fresh start as a singles Superstar in NXT, Johnny Gargano offered to take on anyone and everyone at TakeOver: Brooklyn III if it meant being part of NXT’s summertime tradition.

 

Luckily for Gargano, Andrade “Cien” Almas and Zelina Vega were listening and all too happy to oblige.

 

Vega, the mysterious woman who now appears to be calling the shots for Almas, accepted the open challenge on her associate’s behalf, paving the way to what will surely be a technical masterpiece in Brooklyn.

 

Though no championship nor title opportunity is on the line, both Gargano and Almas are in a state of reinvention, and both Superstars are searching for a tone-setting victory in what will be a high-stakes bout at TakeOver.

 

Now that Gargano has returned from injury, he is eager to forge his own path and move past the heart-wrenching betrayal by his former best friend and tag team partner, Tommaso Ciampa, at TakeOver: Chicago last May. The beloved Superstar declared that TakeOver will be the “birth of Johnny Wrestling.”

 

With the help of Vega, meanwhile, Almas has seemingly refocused his attention on his in-ring career after a series of costly losses.

 

Will Vega’s influence be the difference-maker in Brooklyn? Or will Johnny Wrestling — vowing to begin anew, on his own — get back on track with a win against the third-generation luchador?

Vai Drew!

[Kev]

O main event não me interessa muito tbh :lol:

 

Já estou à espera de mais uma derrota do Cien :( mas o combate tem tudo para ser fixe, tal como o Black/Itami.

[Poeira]

Hype, como sempre. Gosto de todos os combates. E acho que a Asuka perde o título aqui.

[Ruas]

afinal vejo isto live, e o Summerslam também! ch*pa Almeno! :mrgreen:

[Almeno]

Po crl

[Kev]

Calma.

 

NXT has SOMETHING FOR YOU.

Estou pronto.

Muito curioso para o tag match. Se os sAnity ganham, os AoP vão ser a tag que os Breezango andam a falar.

 

Espero que o Drew ganhe e o Roode venha para o SD. O mesmo para a Ember e a Asuka.

 

E o Hideo x Black vai ser pancada a serio.

[Aimar10]

Muito hype para isto.

 

Sinceramente preferia que a Asuka subisse já, mas sem perder o título. Depois no próximo TakeOver já foi o Mae Young Classic, podiam meter a vencedora do torneio a lutar contra ela e a ganhar o título.

Pelo menos para mim das gajas que estão agora na NXT nenhuma tem credibilidade para ganhar à Asuka, porque basicamente ela já as derrotou a todas e ainda está invicta. Acho que quem ganhar o MYC de certa forma vai ter mais credibilidade, acabou de ganhar um torneio importante, e nunca perdeu com a Asuka. :mrgreen:

E acho que era fixe ela chegar ao main roster com a streak de vitórias ainda intacta.

 

E duvido um bocado que os AoP subam já.

[Ruas]

Sobem os sAnity. Que suba alguém das tags, ou que vão buscar mais tags às indys. A divisão de tag no SD tá fraca, sempre foi mas ya.

 

Em relação a Asuka, ganhou a Ember com "batota", por ter "medo" do Eclipse, por isso acho que hoje perde.

[Aimar10]

Os Sanity ainda acho menos provável, devem ir ficar a "controlar" a NXT por uns tempos ou alguma m*rda do género.

A tag team division da SD nem está assim tão má, melhorou desde o shake-up. Neste momento a das gajas é mesmo a pior.

 

Também acredito que a Ember ganhe, é isso que tem estado a ser construído. Até gosto dela só acho é que lhe falta ali qualquer coisa na personagem ou assim, que faz passar a ideia de que ainda não está preparada. :mrgreen:

[Ruas]

Para "controlarem" o NXT os AoP não podiam estar lá, ou pelo menos não fazia muito sentido. Dai que ache que sobe quem perder hoje, mais a cena toda dos Fashion Peaks. Mas se fosse por ai que não venha ninguem que aqueles segmentos são ouro.

 

É normal que olhes para a Asuka e depois para a Ember e achar que ela não tá preparada, que lhe falta alguma coisa ou que não tá ao nível da Asuka. Normal, não tá ela nem ninguém no NXT. Muito menos vão tar as gajas do MYC que são "desconhecidas" para a maioria e não tão de todo estabelecidas ali, muito menos por ganharem um torneio de "desconhecidas". É olhar para o TJP e o CW Classic.

Também não sei se seria a melhor opção, mas do roster actual só gostava de ver a Nikki Cross com o título e essa já perdeu algumas vezes com a Asuka.

Mas também há que ver que um "desconhecido" no NXT acaba por ser diferente do Main Roster. O KOR e o Bobby Fish não teriam a mesma reação no Main Roster que tiveram na NXT. E as principais candidatas,: Toni Storm, Kairi Sane, Candice LeRae, .. até acabam por já ser um conhecidas pelo público. E o MYC ser no Full Sail também ajuda.

Espero que a Asuka retenha. Concordo com o Aimar10, acho que falta qualquer coisa à Ember Moon.

 

 

O undercard vai ser muito bom. Aposto em vitórias do Almas e do Black, que até deve ser dos próximos contenders ao título.

O Roode deve reter e perder o título para o Roddy mais para a frente.

[Ruas]

Aposto em vitórias do Almas

também gostava mas dúvido :(

[Mister Master]

Espero que não suba ninguém.

[Aimar10]

Espero que não suba ninguém.

Acho que a Asuka era necessário, para salvar aquela divisão da SD :lol:

De resto não vejo muita necessidade de subir ninguém para já.

O que faz falta para salvar a divisão da SD é um booking decente. Tiraram a Mickie para a meter na prateleira na Raw :lol: É meter lá a Emma para ver se tem uma chance.

[Ruas]

Olha, isso é que era. Mas não sei porque acho que vão apostar na Tamina com a Lana como manager -.-
