Replacement is PAC.

Oh gooseberry fool, PAC is wrestling tomorrow at a local wrestling show(OTT in Ireland), very tempted to head along now on the off chance there’ll be a little All Out build up!

[Mafro]

Fenix injured now as well and could be out

Jesus. Somebody better roll Jericho up in some bubble wrap for a week!

Don't bank on a New Japan/AEW relationship any time soon...

Pretty sure I just read a spoiler for the Super J Cup winner, bah.

Oh well, sounds like it was an amazing tournament, and Ospreay is still somehow performing at WotY level. Need to see his match with Red as soon as it's up on NJPW World.

[Mafro]

Yeah I'm not arsed about that winner either.

I've been watching a lot of the old Raw matches of the attidue era on YouTube. It was amazing to see stuff like Rock vs Mankind in a ladder match with Austin on commentary. That was a very rare era where every Monday night felt like a PPV. I guess it had to be, because of the Monday night wars. Competition is definitely good for the business.

Dumb decision and they're getting pelters for it on Twitter.

Dope. Hype for re-subbing in sept and catching up with 5*GP is back on

[KK]

What time does it start?
WE DUNNO!! BUT FOR-GOD'S-SAKES-DON'T-MISS-IT!!!

Ludicrously the WWE Network app no longer has a TV schedule.

[JChalmers]

Will the 7pm start on the network just be the pre-show? And then the actual Takeover event happening from 8pm?

[captain red dog]

MJF is really refreshing as someone who really keeps kayfabe over his gimmick. He is an absolute hoot to follow on twitter. The day he has to apologise for something offensive is the day kayfabe truly dies! Probably my favourite heel since 80s Flair or early Attitude Rock.

It's baffling he doesn't even have a match on the All Out card, but I have faith he will have a big part in the TV show and this will all play into it.

Why does everyone in NXT UK apart from WALTER look like an absolute fanny?

The fact that he doesn’t have a match makes me think he’ll be Cody’s No.2, then turn on him either during or after the match, setting up a big feud for the debut of the TV show.
