A look from the front:

I'll hold off comments til there are more details. The Round Robin concept is really surprising to me. I would have figured they could have done an 8-man single-elimination like they did for the IC title. There are already 7 other title matches on these shows, so would it be all this?

This has ROH spoilers from the PPV, if you care

Spoiler: show

I want the Cole vs Omega match so bad, but last night really did feel like Cole's send off for NXT

I think he just has the next PWG show on Friday. He could be in the crowd on Saturday at Takeover.

[Kalmado]

I hope they start doing something different besides "IT'S THE HOTTEST FREE AGENT IN THE CROWD!!!" stuff. My dream booking would be for Cole to do either a run in or do a promo and then have Kyle O'Reilly come out. Would be a great intro to both and the smarky crowd would go nuts.

What has KOR been doing anyways? He basically fell off the face of the earth after dropping the belt at Wrestlekingdom

[Kalmado]

Hopefully working on his game for WWE. While this may not be a popular opinion, I'm really not a fan of his. Whenever I saw reDDragon or however it was, I thought Fish was the star. I hope he's doing something to make himself stand out and really make an impact in a land where there are a ton of stars already.

He's been working for Evolve through at least May and has also been announced as part of the Rev Pro's British Super J tournament in July so he is probably a couple of months away from any NXT debut. Other entrants for that tournament so far are Will Ospreay, Marty Scurll, Jushin Liger, and Kushida who will face O'Reilly in the first round.

Yeah I thought I had read originally 6-8 weeks. I think you're right about the early return surprise somewhere with Roman and an, "I'M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU" moment.

He's been doing indy events as well. He'll be doing a local one in June. reDragon vs Lucha Bros. Should be great.

[Vil]

So what were they supposed to do if not for this injury? Have Braun/Roman again? I guess I can deal with this 5-way match. Maybe Finn/Bray will turn out to be ok when that inevitably happens, but I have no interest in seeing Rollins/Joe stink up the place once again.

[Delirium]

Io Shirai accepts offer to join WWE

Im happy for her. Top 5 in the world, male or female, imo.

[Krandor]

RIP Stardom

[Xno Kappa]

Wow. Alicia Fox beat Sasha Banks lol.

[Tyrath]

So 5 men in the contenders match. 4 of them are feuding with another person in the match and then theres Roman. Uh oh x.x

[Krandor]

Evie is supposedly signed to NXT as a whole so not just for the tournament. Her and Nixon Newell were reportedly signed a few months ago but haven't reported to the PC yet.
