WWE is doing a house show in Tokyo on July 4, which I believe will be aired on the Network. I think Brock Lesnar is suppose to be there. KO will also be defending the NXT Title against Finn Balor...which I am assuming is how KO drops the NXT Title.

Not sure if we should break this out into it's own thread but the full lineup for the Sumo Hall special from the Observer is:

Brock Lesnar vs Kofi Kingston? Why is that even a match pairing?

Brock wasn't originally scheduled for the tour but is working one date so he can get his trip to Japan paid for by the WWE. I guess Masa Saito is in bad health and Brock and a friend wanted to go visit him in Japan so the timing made sense for everyone. He gets paid to go to Japan and WWE sells tickets on a tour that isn't drawing particularly well.

I'm not sure why it's Kofi other than it's an easy match and Brock can ragdoll him around for a few minutes. Kofi will sell his ass off and make Brock look great. They can obviously still change it, but since they didn't have him face Cena or Jericho (the original plan was Owens vs. Cena and Balor vs. Jericho) it's probably unlikely.

Anyone know if the the Sumo Hall show will be branded as an NXT event? Raw? Regardless, that card looks really solid. I'm looking forward to being able to see the event live on the Network. Japanese crowds are always interesting. I imagine there will be an incredible reaction if Balor takes the NXT Title from KO, which seems more than likely.

I wonder if Hideo Itami was originally scheduled to win the #1 Contender's match prior to his injury? Hideo winning the NXT Title in Japan would have been huge. But if nwo's match listing above is accurate, then it doesn't look like Owens vs Balor was the long term plan. I wonder how much Zayn and Hideo's injuries have changed over all plans for NXT. I mean, rumor is that Owens wasn't going to be called up yet because Zayn was going to get a solid push on the main brand and Owens was going to dominate NXT all year. Personally, I favor Owens over Zayn so it's a better trade off for me.

So when do we talk about how awful Joe's theme song is? I mean, the actual theme itself isn't necessarily bad, but it does not mesh with Joe's character at all. He is walking down with a serious look on his face and doing his BMF walk all while this vibrant, cheerful, "cool" music is playing? It just doesn't fit at all.

WWE has announced (publicly so not a spoiler) Jushin "Thunder" Liger for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.

It was announced on tonight's NXT taping that his opponent will be:

This news is absolutely fucking crazy. Who would have thought that Jushin Liger would be wrestling in a WWE ring (I know it's NXT, but still) in 2015? Does this mean that WWE and NJPW now have some sort of working relationship? :crossfingers:

Meltzer's post about it:

In what is a major political move, New Japan Pro Wrestling has booked Jushin Liger to appear on 8/22 for WWE on its NXT Brooklyn show, to face Tyler Breeze.

New Japan had already booked Shinsuke Nakamura, Kazuchika Okada and Kushida for ROH that same night, also in Brooklyn.

There are other significant moves being made behind-the-scenes that don't involve New Japan, regarding NXT and ROH that are likely to become evident in short order.

It was just announced on Twitter that Finn Balor will be wrestling Kevin Owens in a ladder match for the NXT Title at TakeOver: Brooklyn. Should be excellent. Oh, the temptation to actually start paying for the WWE Network.

I don't understand the point of this rematch. They are not going to demote Kevin Owens back to NXT, so he has zero chance of winning the belt back. And Balor already got the big win over Kevin Owens. I'm sure the match is going to be fantastic, but I don't understand why they went with this and not Balor vs anyone else on the NXT brand.

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!
It's a guest appearance, from what I read. Still shocking to see him work a match in WWE, despite it being under the NXT brand.

How hasn't this been a bigger deal? And why isn't he making an appearance on the main roster?

Kevin Owens just murdered the entire NXT Fullsail crowd.

That was his pipebomb.

Is the Barclays Center the largest venue NXT has ever ran? Certainly looks that way. 16,000 in attendance? Damn.

Sasha Banks versus Bayley for the NXT Women's Title last night might be my new MOTY. Those girls absolutely killed it and told a fantastic story, as well. Banks is so goddamn good.

If WWE want's a true "Diva's Revolution", they need to showcase matches like that one on Raw and PPVs. I am still holding out hope that they are just stalling until Nikki beats AJ's record next month to truly let Sasha, Charlotte, Paige, and Becky shine. :crossfingers:

I thought Sasha/Bailey was MOTN, easily. Fantastic match.

I've been reading rumors about a supposed big push planned for Eva Marie. She had a match on NXT this week, so I decided to check it out. OMG, was that horrible. She forgot to kick out at 2! She just laid there! The ref had to stop counting for no reason. And the crowd booed. And her ring skills...

Eva's Sliced Bread #2 is also one of the most awkward things I've ever seen performed in a wrestling ring. She moves around like a robot.

Did Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa wrestle a match yet? I saw WWE.com interviewed them, which is pretty cool. I like both guys.

If you are watching Total Divas, they are currently showing her training with Brian Kendrick and trying to learn his finisher. Also, they showed her first appearance in NXT when the crowd chanted "You can't wrestle" at her. It actually interesting to watch her and Cameron trying to learn to wrestle when they both have been getting so much attention for just how they look basically.
