NxT Takeover - Just Getting Started


Recommended Posts

I'd love to come up with an imaginative back story here, but I thought it would be easier to just be honest and explain why I'm doing this diary.

 

So me and a friend have attempted on a couple of occasions to do a joint game of TEW (most of the time it's one running Raw and another running Smackdown) but on the whole he is a lot more committed to the games than me which always resulted in him getting annoyed at my lack of commitment and me getting annoyed at him constantly asking me to complete my game. Then about 3 weeks before Wrestlemania, we had an idea. As a joint game, he would book Raw/Smackdown and all PPV's and I would book NxT as well as any Nxt takeovers. We have been doing this now for over a month and it seems to have worked as he is happy as he can book a lot more so plays the game a lot more and I'm happy as I only have a 1 hour spot to fill most weeks.

 

The was a couple of ground rules set.

 

1) He has final sign on calling up Nxt talent to the main roster. I can argue their importance to me and he may chose to let me keep them for however long I need, but he can just make the straight call if he needs/wants them now. Although he has promised to be fair and not just take talent for the sake of it.

 

2) He can use talent for one off events such as the Royal Rumble or Andre the Giant Battle Royals etc or some crossover between the main roster and Nxt (Such as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens has done) but eventually the talent will either be called up for good or return to Nxt for the foreseeable future.

 

3) If he has any talent which he is not/rarely using I can request they be moved down to Nxt and potentially repackaged. Again he will make the choice on this based on what he has planned for that individual.

 

4) Any new talent signed we will decide if they are to debut in Nxt or on the main roster between us. Most likely they would debut on Nxt, but some may make the straight jump such as AJ Styles did.

 

After successfully booking shows all the way up until June and the next Takeover event, I started to really think that this would make a good diary. I have a legitimate problem of having to deal with talent moving on, I have a persistent partner who is keeping my interest in this story and I have already pre booked a number of shows I am happy with and I think will make an interesting diary.

 

So the plan will be for me to send out a weekly Nxt show as well as a weekly update of what has happened on the main roster. I will start with the results for NxT Takeover Dallas and Wrestlemania 32 (Our results, which may differ to real life) and carry on from there. Remember the superstars such as Apollo Crews, Enzo and Cass and The Vaudevillians are still a part of Nxt and have not made the jump to the main roster yet in our game.

 

Sorry for the boring open to this diary. My next post will be the official start and we will begin with NxT Takeover - Dallas. Thanks and I hope you all enjoy.

NXT Takeover: Dallas - Results & Recap

 

Apollo Crews Vs. Elias Samson.

Samson puts up a strong effort, but Crews shows that he is a level above Samson at the moment. Finishing him off with a spin out powerbomb.

 

Winner - Apollo Crews

 

American Alpha Vs. The Revival © - NXT Tag Team Championship.

 

Alpha start like a house on fire and have the Revival in trouble until Dash Wilder is able to cut off Chad Gable on the outside and throws him into the steel steps. After that the Revival take over and work over Gable, who is nearly put away a number of times. He is able to hang on though, and get the hot tag for Jason Jordan, who comes in and clears house. Eventually, it is down to Jordan and Dawson in the ring with Jordan tagging in Gable and hitting the Grand Amplitude for the win.

 

Winner - American Alpha - **NEW NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS**

 

Austin Aries Vs Baron Corbin

 

Aries and Corbin is an interesting match up. With the indy sensation taking on a project of the WWE performance center. Austin starts off well, using his speed and technical superiority to be a step ahead of Corbin, but Corbin is about to battle back. The match ends with Corbin looking like he is going to hit the end of days... Only for Austin to reverse and lock in a bridging triangle choke, forcing Corbin to tap out.

 

Winner - Austin Aries

 

Asuka Vs Bayley © - NXT Women's Championship.

 

Bayley faces her biggest task so far in NxT against the unstoppable force of Asuka. Bayley really up's her game here and seems to have Asuka on the run in the early going. Asuka gradually starts to come back strong until a Bayley to Belly out of nowhere gets a 2 count for Bayley. She is stunned that Asuka is able to kick out. A second attempt is reversed into an Asuka lock that looks to have Bayley in all kinds of trouble, but she is able to just about get a foot on the rope and force a break. Asuka begins to stalk Bayley, again looking for the Asuka lock, but as she goes for it Bayley avoids and Asuka is sent to the outside. The match continues on the outside until both women on own the apron. Here Bayley is able to grab a hold of Asuka and hit a Bayley to Belly from the ring apron to the floor. Neither woman is able to return to the ring and both are counted out.

 

Winner - Draw (Double Count Out) - Bayley retains.

Sami Zayn Vs Shinsuke Nakamura

 

In what will surely go down as a match of the year contender. Two of the top talents in the WWE go at it in a fierce hard hitting battle with plenty of near falls on both parts. Nakamura thinks he has the match won with a running knee strike, only for Zayn to kick out. Zayn the recovers and is able to land a Helluva Kick on Nakamura. He gets 1,2, and then a last second kick out. It carries on back and forth until finally a second running knee drop puts Zayn down for the 3 count and a debut win for Nakamura.

 

Winner - Shinsuke Nakamura

 

Finn Balor Vs Samoa Joe - Nxt Championship.

 

Joe looks like a destructive force in the early going of this match. Striking Balor at will and showing no sign of intimidation for Balor's demon makeup and entrance. Balor is able to work his way back into the match as it progresses. Balor starts to feed off the crowd and a front dropkick into the corner see's Joe in position for the Coup De Grace. Balor goes to the top, jumps...and Joe moves. He is up quick as a flash and cuts Balor off. Balor is seated on the top rope by Joe, he gets him up for a muscle buster..and hits it. 1, 2 and no, Balor kicks out and Joe looks stunned. Joe sets him up again, he goes for it a second time, but this time Balor escapes, he runs at Joe but Joe side steps and locks in a Coquina Clutch. Balor is fading, but he refuses to give up and eventually fight's his way to the bottom rope. Joe looks genuinely stunned. Joe picks up a barely conscious Balor, looks to signal it's the end, but Balor comes back, and takes down Joe with another front drop kick. He goes up for the Coup De Grace and hits it. 1, 2 and 3. It's over, Balor retains the title.

 

Winner - Finn Balor - Balor Retains.

 

Post Match - Finn Balor is too tired to celebrate as he watches Joe walk to the back with a stunned expression on his face.

Shane McMahon Def. The Undertaker - Shane McMahon gains control of Raw.

 

In what was a crazy match with Shane missing an elbow drop onto Taker from the top of the cell. It looked like Shane was done after this until Taker was attacked by a masked man. He assaulted Taker with a steel chain wrapped around his fist. The masked man revealed himself to be....SAMOA JOE. Joe then hits two muscle busters onto steel chairs onto Undertaker and then choked the Undertaker unconscuious, before lying Shane McMahon on top of him for the win.

Thanks Mistaken. I have just posted a Wrestlemania recap but as you can see it isn't anywhere near as detailed as the NxT one.

 

The plan going forward now is to post an Nxt Show, followed by a WWE Recap (Quick recap of what is happening on Raw/Smackdown/PPV)

 

I might do some detailed look at what is happening in WWE if I feel it is relevant but for now my focus is purely NxT.

It has been confirmed that Sami Zayn has wrestled his last match in NxT and he has been official promoted to the main roster.

 

Mr Regal also stated that after Samoa Joe’s actions at Wrestlemania. He will not be appearing on any future NxT events until the WWE board have decided what punishment, if any, he will receive for attacking the Undertaker.

 

This means that NxT requires a new No 1 contender. Mr Regal has announced that over the next three weeks we will see 3 singles matches, with the winners of each match facing off in a triple threat match No 1 contender’s match. That will start this week with our 1st match. Austin Aries Vs Elias Samson.

 

Bayley put her body on the line at Takeover: Dallas and was able to just walk away with the Nxt women’s title around her waist. The is no rest for Bayley as she has a non title match against Alexa Bliss.

 

Also, on NxT this week. The Revival will warm up for their upcoming Tag Title rematch when they take on the Hype Bros. and we have more women’s action as Nia Jax goes 1 on 1 with Carmella.

NXT - Wednesday, April Week 1

 

Tom Phillips and Corey Graves welcome us to NxT, 1 week removed from Takeover: Dallas, and a massive show in store.

 

Carmella Vs Nia Jax W/Eva Marie

 

Nia Jax kicks off NxT trying to get herself back into the Women's title picture, but she certainly has her hands full with Carmella, who has been improving every week. Nia Jax superior strength is clear for all to see. She has no problem throwing Carmella around at will. Carmella's will is strong, though as she battles back and is able to send Nia to the outside. Carmella goes for the suicide dive through the ropes, but Nia (With prior warning from Eva Marie) is able to catch Carmella, and slam her back into the ring apron. After that Carmella is easy pickings as Nia throws her back in the ring and hits a leg drop for the win.

 

Winner - Nia Jax

 

-----------

 

Backstage we go to find Jojo.

 

JoJo - My guest at this time, is the NxT champion, Finn Balor. Finn, what are your thoughts on your victory at NxT Takeover.

 

Balor - Jojo, my match with Samoa Joe was arguably the toughest of my career. But I proved that I can handle anything he could throw at me, and I am not ready to relinquish this title to anyone. I don't want to think about my match at Takeover. I just want to get ready for whatever challenges are coming my way in the future...

 

As Balor finishes talking, he tails off as he is shocked by the sight of someone walking towards him. The camera pans round to show.... Hideo Itami.

 

Itami - Finn Balor, it's been a long time. You have come along way since I was last here in Nxt. All the way to the Nxt title, but now, I am back. I'll be returning to the ring soon and when I return. I plan on letting no one stop me getting to the top of NxT.

 

Both men have an intense stare down as we fade away for the next match.

 

--------

 

The Hype Bros Vs. The Revival

 

The Revival are preparing for their rematch with American Alpha but have a tough test here against the Hype Bros. Living up to their name, the Hype bros start with a high energy approach, almost catching the Revival off guard and stealing an early win. The Revival is able to ride the storm and eventually isolate Mojo Rawley and hitting a Shatter Machine for the win.

 

Winners - The Revival

 

-------

 

We head backstage to find Bayley, with strapping on her right arm from her brutal match at Takeover. She is warming up for her match against Alexa Bliss which is next.

 

--------

 

Alexa Bliss Vs Bayley - Non Title Match

 

Bayley clear isn't 100% here and Alexa Bliss waste no time in taking the fight to the champion. Targeting her weak right shoulder and arm with knee strikes, a tight hammer lock and stomps on the injured arm. Bayley is incredibly resilient though and is able to battle back strong against Alexa, knocking her down with double forearms and an exploder suplex, as she seems to be setting up for a Bayley to belly, the music of Asuka hits. Bayley is distracted staring at the ramp for Asuka's entrance..but Asuka never arrives and instead Alexa rolls Bayley up and gets the 3 count. A massive non title win for Alexa Bliss.

Winner - Alexa Bliss

 

---------

 

Austin Aries Vs. Elias Samson

 

Austin Aries looks to build on his victory over Baron Corbin at NxT Takeover, while Samson is trying to bounce back in a big way. Aries is quickly in control, working Samson is various holds, trying to wear him down. However, when the action spills to the outside. Samson is able to cut him off and throw him into the steel steps. Samson then goes to work on Aries, but Aries refuses to stay down and battles back. He comes at Samson like a house on fire, hitting move after move until Samson doesn't know where he is. Finally Aries gets Samson up for a brainbuster and covers him for the 1, 2, 3. Austin Aries is in the triple threat no 1 contenders match.

 

Winner - Austin Aries

Wooo! Prediction game on point! :p Thank you for giving Alexa the win. Hopefully you start pushing her into the title scene, and give her the strap at some point. I liked the first show, maybe add some worker pictures? I feel like 75x75 pixels would fit the best with your style. Just a suggestion! :)

Aj Styles Vs Dolph ZIggler - Styles Wins

Final Match - Aj Styles Vs Dean Ambrose - Ambrose Wins.

 

After the match Styles and Ambrose shake hands in the ring. Roman Reigns enters the ring. He congratulates Ambrose, telling him he will always be his brother, he also congratulates Styles saying it was a fantastic performance and he expects no less from a champion all over the world. He says he understands that he has a big target on his back, and anyone could be coming for him, including the two men in the ring with him now.. His message to Ambrose, to Aj and to all the boys in the back, is to Bring It. Ambrose and Reigns have a fist bump and Reigns leaves Ambrose and Aj in the ring to take the applause for their performance. As the two men are stood in the ring Samoa Joe enters through the crowd. He takes out Styles before attacking Ambrose. Muscle Buster to Ambrose, Muscle Buster to Styles. Reigns just watches from the top of the ramp, but doesn’t try to stop Joe’s attack.

 

The suddenly the light’s go out and we hear the crow strike. When they come back on the Wyatt’s are scattered around various points of the arena. Bray Wyatt is on the announce table. He eerily chants Roman’s name. to end the show.

 

Smackdown Recap -

 

Rhodes, Kalisto & Sin Cara Def. Rusev, Alberto Del Rio & King Barrett W/Sheamus. Post Match Barrett is attacked by the rest of the League of Nations.

The Wyatt Family Def. The Uso’s - Bray tells the Uso’s to "let Roman know".

 

Main Event - Dean Ambrose & AJ Styles Def. Chris Jericho & Kevin Owens. Post match Sami Zayn attacks Owens to end the show.

 

So this is how my recap will look most weeks. Pretty basic with some more detail on important matches/angles. It’s not likely to be anymore detailed than this. IF anyone has any advice/suggestions for improving the formatting I’m all ears as I am new to this.

Thanks for the input. I think introducing pictures would be a good idea. I have a picture pack I have in game, but I'm not the best with computers, wouldn't be sure how to upload them into a thread and I don't have the patience to upload them all to a site like photobucket for future use. If you (or anyone) knows of pre uploaded photos in the 75x75 format or similar that the creator is happy to be used then please direct me that way.

 

Many thanks
