First Nakamura match I've watched... Best match I've seen in a while

Zayn/Bayley both losing. Felt like a transition for NXT as those guys aren't likely to be around NXT for long.

American Alpha winning is good, but I would have kept the titles with the Revivial a little longer.

Balor is starting to wear thin with me. The more I see him the more bored I get of him.

Very surprised Balor didn't lose to Joe, interesting to see where the NXT title picture goes from here.

Has Balor become the longest NXT champ yet? He won't lost it until then.

With Zayn moving up and Joe possibly moving up/moving onto a new feud, there aren't too many credible challengers (at least as far as what they've done in NXT goes).

Corbin might get his one on one shot (probably not done with Aries), Crews might get another go (meh), it's too soon for Aries/Nakamura you'd think, Alex Riley is barely out of jobber status.

Not sure who else could be a credible challenger.

Fine line between King of Strong Style and King of Go Go Dancing.

Wicked theme though and when you have that you can get away with just about anything.

That Nakamura entrance was intense. The entire match was just an instant classic, and that's off zero build.

Good to see Zayn headed to the main roster. I hope they don't f**k his promotion up like they did with Breeze/Dallas/Wyatt/Rose/Emma.

I really hope they don't f**k up shinsuke when they move him to the main roster. In a perfect world they would start him off against Brock and play off their history and mma backgrounds. But he will probably end up in 50/50 mincard hell.

Zayn is a talent and really one they would have to intentionally f**k up. He's six foot so in Vince's eyes he probably has a chance.

There is just a ridiculous amount of talent in the company at the moment but even with all the injuries to the top guys they're f**king it up. They need to look back to when they brought over all the midcard wcw talent and how successful it was(Jericho, Eddy, Benoit etc). Give these guys chance and they'll get the crowd.

Samoa Joe has to be moving up to the main roster now otherwise what do you do with him after losing two straight title matches? A feud between him and Nakamura would be fun but outside of that there is nothing really for him to do. What a great show taker over Dallas was I only casually watch the NXT weekly shows but I always tune into the takeover specials their fantastic. Hard to go past Zayn/Nakamura as match of the night but the Bayley Asuka match was great too. Wonder if Bayley shows up monday to crash a sasha banks victory party, it will be interesting to see how they book her a slow build to her finally winning the belt at mania 33 since its in Orlando would be great to see.

If they're serious about genuinely expanding their market beyond the US, they need to have guys near the top from a number of markets. A Japanese star would be a huge boon for them, and Nakamura has more chance of connecting with the fans than KENTA ever did.

I'd love for them to do a Japanese heel faction.

Was a fantastic show. I'm genuinely surprised they kept the belt on Balor, given it seemed like a Balor Club promotion and possible heel turn was on the cards.

Would love to see Joe come up. Would be surreal to see him on the top roster.

The fact they showed Kota Ibushi and Bobby Roode on screen and recognised their names gives me hope we'll see both of them on the roster in some capacity.

Loved the "f**k PG" and "Let Joe Bleed" chants when the doctors kept stopping the main event.

Should just bring Joe to RAW and have him murder the f**k out of Ryback.

When Samoa Joe signed his contract with the WWE, it was for NXT and not the main roster. Even if that has changed, I would keep him in NXT as they do need good veterans to help make the new guys "main roster ready".
