It hits all the right notes in my book of what feud is. These guys are fucking hating each other and it's got to end in a cage. Pro Wrestling 101 right here, people.

Hideo Itami should be returning within the next few weeks after being out the last 13 months after shoulder surgery. His first surgery didn’t go well and his recuperation was much slower than expected.

The tentative plan was for Jason Jordan & Chad Gable to go to the main roster in the fall. That was also before the before the brand split changed every creative decision.

To show how spur of the moment things are done, even though they pretty much decided a few weeks ahead of time that the Vaudevillains were debuting after Mania, they didn’t even know it. When they were flown to Dallas for WrestleMania, they were supposed to fly back to Florida with the NXT crew after the show. They weren’t actually told themselves that they were debuting on Raw until the day of Mania, one day before, and at the last minute WWE had to rebook tickets. I’m not sure they were the only ones that fell into that category because we heard about travel being rebooked because they didn’t finalize who was debuting right after Mania until the last minute. HHH had previously wanted six months worth of plans to be made for talent being brought up so they wouldn’t be brought up and then have nothing to do, flounder, and make it look like NXT stars failed on the main roster. That makes all the sense But obviously, that hasn’t happened given the way NXT stars have been brought up with no long-term whatsoever.

HHH on Twitter yesterday noted that the name of the 6/8 NXT Takeover show would be "Takeover: The End." Some people seem to think that means it's the end of NXT. It isn't. It's just likely the end of the Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor program with their third meeting in a cage.

Ticketron and the WWE's web site have pulled the planned SummerSlam weekend NXT show. Now, decisions and schedule changes happen all the time. If you remember, last year's show in Brooklyn was NXT's biggest success in history drawing a legit sellout and had the Bayley vs. Sasha Banks match that may have been the best women's match in company history. Even internally, people have been asking questions and right now there are no answers other than the show is no longer on the schedule. At least some in NXT are very concerned about that and the billing of the 6/8 show as "The End."

Concerns about the status of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn seem unfounded. A big story yesterday was the fact that Ticketmaster and WWE.com had pulled all listing for the event, which was scheduled to take place during SummerSlam weekend. The Wrestling Observer reports that while many NXT talent was concerned after the listings were pulled, the show is still set for that weekend and was only pulled due it having outdated logos and event details.

Ticketmaster will be adding the event back to the site with new logos and details soon.
