I just googled it to make sure they were having one. Definitely been lackluster in promoting it.

 

Probably because they know its gonna flop compared to past Takeovers.

 

This has been the weakest takeover build since the takeovers started. Also number 15 is winning the rumble I can feel it

 

5 eastern starting time for the kickoff!

 

Yeah, I'll watch it because, well, of course, but I've been skipping most weekly NXT episodes and have just about zero actual hype for this one despite a perfectly fine card.

and GO 17

 

#28 works for me

 

Yet, I feel like some of the best TakeOvers have been the ones that sort of creep up on us and have what look like just so-so cards

 

what? They are putting the Raw tag belts on the pre-show?

 

Wait preshow starts at five eastern?? Jeeez

 

Really hope the pre show is only an hour. 5 hours of wrestling is already too much

 

Good news is that tag match wont go on until like 6:40. But still....SUCKs for the live crowd. They'll watch 4hrs of shit before the Rumble match even starts

 

Anyone else think the stipulation for Seth losing the Sami match is he has to be the number one entrant but gets to be number 30 if he wins? Gives him some kayfabe incentive to ruin Sami's dreams.

Then you give Deano #2 for some fun Shield Reunion stuff.

 

wow...Sami vs Seth for a spot

 

That would have been the more fun angle.

But I actually like this

 

what happens when Braun comes in and murders Sami? Does Sami get in because he won by DQ?

 

Omg is someone gonna turn? What a weird way to do it

 

That's actually probably what'll happen

 

For everyone's rumble dreams to come true though, something like that has to happen.

 

It would be cool if Samoa joes debut is at the rumble to help Roman and turn him heel. That would be a good pairing and they'd get monster heat.

 

Woah. Really not sure how this is gonna play out now. No way Sami or Seth doesn't have some role in the rumble.

If Sami/Seth was headlining tonight I'd say HHH comes out and screws Seth but now... hrm....

 

Come on Sami

 

Goldberg comes out and dismantles them both, obviously.

 

Braun definitely comes out

 

Yeah. I'm nervous they'll screw it up but interested to see how this is gonna go. Rare a match this this unpredictable.

 

Counted 19 in that promo shot
