    Holy F*ck! Fantastic news!

    Just wondering, has there been a calendar year where 2 of WWE's "Big 4" events have been held in Texas?

    I was just reading this article on espn, thinking it's ridiculous the level of parade the wwe throws for itself during the big four. Then my eyes catch "Houston" and it all goes out the window. Holy **** Royal Rumble and Survivor Series all in a calendar year, with one of the best raws in 2016.

    I'm highly debating on WM33 since I already have plans for Summerslam in Brooklyn again, didn't like the PPV itself, but NXT Takeover was amazing, why not go to all 4?

    Night of Champions in 2015 at TC wasn't too shabby at all, Sting's last match, Rollins in two title matches, KO winning the IC title, Charlotte's start of her Women's Division supremacy

    California got Rumble (Fresno) and WM21 (LA) in 2005

    That Mickie James vs Asuka match could be a disaster.

    1. Mickie James didn't even do the house show tour
    2. Going completely off the cuff with a vet like Asuka
    3. Talk about being green
    4. I'd rather much have Liv Morgan,Peyton Royce, EMber Moon,Billie Kay over Mickie James
    5. Who the *** is Mickie James???

    I'm assuming you mean who does she think she is or that you are being sarcastic, I can't tell. Given that she was in the WWE for 5 years and has been in TNA since, I can't imagine you actually don't know her.

    She has been wrestling longer than Asuka, and given that she has been in weekly promotions for the last decade, she has probably wrestled 4x as many total matches. She's not as good as Asuka,few are, but to call her green is stupid. Worst case (and maybe likely) for these 2 is a very mediocre match.

    The point I'm trying to make is she's not even on the roster that's all. I get what you're saying though. But Asuka is legitimately on another level.

    I mean it would be more interesting if Mickie James go over Asuka just to beef up the storyline a little. NXT is losing viewership as of late. So I could see Asuka dropping the title because of a run in? Nikki Cross from Sanity might be it. Then have Nak drop the title to Joe?

    Mickie provides some name recognition that will help draw a few eyes to the show. In fact she's probably the most well known female wrestler in the country that isn't on the roster or retired.

    Storyline wise, this gives her a big name filler match while they build towards her eventual feud and title drop with Ember Moon. None of the other women are even close to ready, nor would they draw any attention to the match.

    Asuka's on a level beyond everyone not named Ember Moon. I think this will be good, NXT Takeover has delivered Everytime so far.

    I'll go with Joe winning tonight. Then Lose it back when NXT goes to Osaka, Japan. Joe is not moving up yet. But I do see Revival moving up though. I'm picking DIY to be tag champs tonight.

    So the Mickie vs Asuka feud is still going right? I thought the match was awesome. Yes, I was talking **** before but didn't expect it to be of quality wise. Asuka didn't shake her hand after the match, LOL. Heel turn???

    Mickie was always putting on quality matches in her first run in WWE. I don't think this is a fued. I think RAW and SD's rosters will have shakeups after Survivor Series fallout. Mickie could go back to be a part of either shows division. I feel the same about the Revival.

    Until Ember Moon gets a fued or two out of the way and it looks like a fued with Billie Kay and Peyton Royce is just starting. I'd keep Asuka running through past WWE women's champs...A pool of Michelle McCool, Gail Kim, Lita, Trish, Beth Pheonix, Paige, etc too choose from

    Just watched Takeover, #DIY/Revival match of the freaking year, I'm guessing Tye goes up and Joe/Nakamura and DIY/Revival happen at San Antonio and the losers go up, maybe the loser of Joe/Nak in the rumble.

    I was a fan of this ending. Not sure if many will agree with me. Glad Brock agreed to it

    That ending was nuts, guessing rematch at Rumble or WM33

    Can't believe Leaner loss cleanly.....
