By Richard Trionfo on 2015-10-07 22:05:09
We are at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida for the latest Takeover special from NXT. Before we get to the show that will be headlined by a thirty minute Iron Man Match for the NXT Women’s Title, we have to go to the Pre Show.

Your host is Renee Young and she is joined by Corey Graves, Byron Saxton, and Lita.

Corey says it is good to be back on the Network at Full Sail. Byron mentions the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic as well as the Iron Man Match.

Renee asks how important it is for Lita to be here for the main event. She says it is monumental and she is looking forward to seeing it live.

Renee says that they will be talking about how history will be made since the Women are in the main event tonight.

Renee says they have worked so hard to get to this spot and they have earned it. Renee mentions that Lita has main evented Raw and she asks how much pressure is there to be in the main event. Lita says that they usually wrestle like they are in the main event. Lita says that she enjoyed showing the guys that they could do it too.

Lita says that there are times when she gets fired up and wants to show that she can still do it.

Lita wonders what is going on with Bayley and we go to Bayley in the interview area. Bayley says it is time that they main event a show. Lita mentions her history with Sasha and she wants to know if Bayley is looking to step up. Bayley says that a lot of people say that Sasha is still the best. Bayley is going to show Sasha that Brooklyn was not a fluke and she is going to walk out as the champion.

Renee sends it to Greg Hamilton and Dasha Fuentes among the throng of people. Greg mentions the Semi Finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and we have a video package.

Renee mentions the two semi final matches as they go inside for discussion.

Corey says that everyone involved with NXT was touched by Dusty Rhodes. His influence will be heard forever. Corey mentions that Dusty helped him with his transition from wrestler to announcer. Corey says that he did not know how he would do and Dusty hugged him and he told him he did great. Dusty told Corey to sit up straight. Corey says that he misses Dusty.

We go into the arena and Byron Saxton is with the Rhodes family. He says that Dusty Rhodes was a legend and a trailblazer. In NXT, he motivated so many. They celebrate his life and legacy. Byron introduces Dusty’s family.

Dustin unveils The NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Cup.

Cody says you don’t come down the aisle unless you are going to win. NXT has their version of the Lombardi Trophy and Stanley Cup.

We go back to Renee, Corey, and Lita.

Renee asks Corey and Lita what would Dusty say.

Lita says we don’t need something physical, but that was a great way to recognize Dusty. He would love it. Corey says that Dusty would have wanted it bigger.

Renee asks if Tyler Breeze can do it tonight against Apollo Crews.

Corey says that Tyler is obsessed with getting back into the title picture and if he can beat Apollo Crews, he gets back up to the top.

Lita mentions that while Tyler has been here for a while, Apollo is not going to back down.

Tom Phillips is with Apollo Crews. Apollo says it is an honor to be part of such a historical show.

Dana Brooke and Emma stop by and she says that she is sick of the new NXT talent getting all of the attention. Emma agrees. Dana says she thought they showed Asuka that playtime is over.

Apollo laughs and he says that him and Asuka are new but Dana is taking her too lightly. He says that Dana is in for a very rough night.

Lita says that Dana will need to tone it down or she could get injured.

Corey says it is going to be like Dana running into a wall when she faces Asuka.

Corey says that he has watched Asuka on the internet. Lita says the Japanese style is more physical. If you are not prepared, it can rattle your confidence. If Dana cannot pull it together, it could get rough for her.

Byron suggests that maybe Dana is playing mind games with Asuka and that she will surprise the world.

Renee talks about the NXT 24 Special about the Brooklyn Takeover special. We see a clip about the Sasha Banks and Bayley match.

Lita says it was an amazing night in Brooklyn to see Bayley and Sasha co-main event the biggest NXT show in history. Now they are main eventing NXT’s return to Full Sal.

Tom Phillips is with Sasha Banks in the back and Tom asks about what to expect from the match.

Sasha says that she is going to become a two time NXT Women’s Champion. She will show the world and Bayley she is still the boss of NXT.

Tom sends it back to Renee.

Lita says that Sasha has a lot of confidence and that will help her in the match, but she wonders if Sasha is as confident as she needs to be. She will need to do enough to win and she has pressure on her.

Byron mentions that Sasha lost already and Bayley has matured so much. Bayley has grown into the championship and that attitude will be present tonight.

Corey mentions that Bayley got one victory over Sasha but tonight she has to beat Bayley more than Sasha. He asks Lita how it changes to come into a match as the champion compared to being a challenger.

The challenger makes you want to do more to win. It means more to Bayley to be the representative of the women’s division and prove that Brooklyn was not a fluke.

Renee asks what this match will mean for the women.

Byron talks about the stuff with the Divas on Raw and Smackdown. Byron says it started in NXT at Full Sail. How can these ladies raise the bar one more time. You have to deliver something you haven’t seen before.

Lita says that if a woman wants to be in the WWE or are already in the WWE need to watch this match to learn.

We take a look at a video package for the Sasha Banks versus Bayley match from Brooklyn.
