When is nxt taped

And I selfishly just hope they were trying to keep a cool surprise under wraps. Dunne actually picked up a win over Dragunov in the build to TakeOver. The Mad Russian was distracted by the arrival of his Austrian nemesis. It would make sense for him to want to run that back. Papa John however they choose to set it up. The wrestling world deserves to see him and Joe throw down. Hit Row vs. Not picking the top guy seems dumb, and would probably cause the Breakout gimmick to lose a little of whatever luster it has.

Samoa Joe would be an interesting clash of styles. Hayes is established in the cruiserweight scene, and if building that up is still something the new NXT cares about, I could see him choosing to the belt he failed to capture when he faced Kushida back in June.

They will reportedly get some rebranding complete with a new logo eventually. That also apparently includes changing up their taping schedule. They used to film multiple episodes in tapings blocks, sometimes stretching two days in a row. It appears that they are going back to this tactic as the Wrestling Observer Live host tweeted out to inform fans of this change.

They have also made several cuts to the black and gold brand in the last few weeks as well and more could be coming. AEW war New User posted their first comment. Log in.
