RIP to all the fans who had tickets for shows this year. How you think I felt about takeover Tampa and Mania lmao

[Creepia]

Ladder match should be fun. Not sure I care to see someone like Cole or Gargano in it. I'd like the match to have fresher faces. Reed, Grimes, Lumis, Priest and guys a long those lines. Maybe even Escobar? 

[Fight Me.]

Oh shit, I just noticed 5 slots there for the ladder match. Thought it was just 2 Triple Threat matches to determine the 2 facing off in a ladder match lol

[dje_wba]

Actually it'll be a five-man ladder match, not six.

[Fight Me.]

Oops lmao

[Creepia]

Put Oney in the ladder match you cowards 

[AONO.]

I would love to see a Oney push with NA title. 

Tbh,  I don't think I have cared for a single NA titlr run thus far. VD was cool, but the title did nothing for him and he didn't do much for the title either. Strong had some dope matches with it though. 

I think they still haven't properly established it, it's always just kinda there and that's it. Keith Lee giving *Censored* all and just let it go also didn't help that lmao

Lumis qualified too for the NA title match, right? I ask because he's not in the match card.

He is injured (not sure if work or not) and has been removed. Instead there will be 2 Fatal 4 Way matches filled with superstars who didn't advance in this and I believe the winners will face off to take Lumis' spot. Or they're both in? I forget, they made it so complicated lol The video package seemed to have focused on Finn and Gargano so one of them will take it I'd imagine.

It's only two singles matches with the four guys that weren't pinned/submitted in each of their Triple Threats. So it's Bálor, Gargano, Holland and whoever doesn't take the fall in next week's Triple Threat.

I can see Gargano losing a match and then costing Bálor his so they have a match against each other at TakeOver.

Oh nooo, that's not fair! This was his chance to shine.. And to think he won the spot by making Thatcher lose conciousness, of all people.

Adam Cole vs. Pat McAfee

Ciampa might be glad creative has nothing for him compared to this

[JokerVenom]

Ngl Pat vs Cole is the most exciting part of the card, so far. Not a negative, they've just got me hooked on the story.

[Fight Me.]

Same. Pat has been great, character wise. If he's been trained properly, this could be decent.

[T-Hell]

Yeah he's got that annoying cocky heel feeling to him. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I watch the match, maybe he turns out to be great in the ring.

[Lunchbox]

*Censored* that they just fired a ton of talent for budge reasons then give Pat a payday for no reason.
