I really hope Asuka abdicates the title and moves up to the main roster, because there is literally no one worthy to take it off her. Unless Kairi Hojo will debut and take it from her.

I think it's being geared up for Ember Moon. That certainly looked the plan before she got injured.

Solid triple threat. Loved the finish, Asuka pinning both. Hated Ember Moon looming over. :x

Yeah, it seems inevitable, especially after the build up of her finisher, and Asuka avoiding it at the last Takeover, I just don't see her as worthy. :(

Is the tag title match going on last, or are they just filling time...

Well this is a surprise, the tag belts are going on last.

Enjoyed that way more than the Roode Nakamura matches. I was willing Itami to win so much, he's had such bad luck. Such a great performer. Loved the series of finishes. I'm sure Randy Orton hated it.

Such a good match! I can see why they made it the main event. A very good Takeover overall.

Ohhhh it's going down! But why split up such an amazing team? Madness.

Extremely great show. Looks like continuing the ongoing tradition of these Takeovers making the main PPV the next night look resolutely poor in comparison.

So looking forward to Styles vs. Owens. Awful feeling Orton will drop the title. I'm so disappointed the women are lumped into a tag match.

Hoping for a Jinder win, it'd be nice to see something different and somebody new getting a chance.

It was never going to happen, but I was rooting for Breezango.

Loved the match, not a huge fan of the finish.
