WWE NXT Takeover Brooklyn: 5 Losses That Need To Happen
Tye Dillenger doesn't stand a chance!
WWE has one of its biggest non-WrestleMania weekends ever planned in just a few days. Not only is their annual SummerSlam event happening on Sunday but the WWE Network exclusive brand NXT is holding its biggest show to date the day before.
NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn will be broadcast live from the sold out Barclays Center, the same arena that SummerSlam and the subsequent Raw will air from. It will be interesting to see if it will still feel like an NXT show in front of such a big audience. Triple H seems optimistic and has declared on Twitter that "Brooklyn marks the beginning of a new era..."
Looking at each of the matches planned for this event, this article will analyze them all from the perspective of the losers. The question of who needs to lose is compared alongside who is more likely to lose. Some matches seem like easy calls but there are a couple that aren't so simple.
Ten match have been announced for this event but it's expected that only five or six will actually air as part of the live stream on Saturday night. The debut of Apollo Crews is one that could be on the show but wasn't analyzed for this article, but it's pretty obvious that he should win in his debut.
The following five losses need to happen at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn...
5. Blake & Murphy vs. The Vaudevillains
Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy are the current NXT Tag Team Champions and are set to defend their titles against the very manly team of Aiden English and Simon Gotch, The Vaudevillains. It seems like The Vaudevillains could use a female companion because Alexa Bliss keeps smacking the life out of them and they're too chivalrous to respond.
Who Needs To Lose: Blake & Murphy
The Vaudevillians are a very over act and are more than due with a chance to carry the belts. Their gimmick is so entertaining and could use a few months in the spotlight before adding something to the main roster in 2016 (hopefully).
Alternatively, Blake & Murphy's act has improved since the addition of Alexa Bliss but could use more time in NXT to connect better with the audience. They could stand to drop the titles and possibly have another run in 6 months or so.
Who Will Likely Lose: The Vaudevillains
As overdue as The Vaudevillains might be in their acquisition of the NXT Tag Titles, there's one duo far more overdue: Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady. The sooner that they can get the titles the better because they're one of the most beloved acts in all of WWE. And it would make far more booking sense if the heel team in Saturday's matchup retained to expedite this process.
