Welcome to PWInsider.com's live coverage of NXT Takeover: Orlando!
It's preshow time, and our hosts are Charly Caruso, Nigel McGuinness, and Sam Roberts. They welcome us, then show us video of Ember Moon, Asuka, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Bobby Roode arriving at the arena. And to those of you who read the Impact Wrestling Report, yes, they're...WALKING!
Kayla Braxton is outside with some fans chanting NXT, and she shows us video of Sanity attacking No Way Jose at Axxess earlier today and smashing the ring steps down on his hand. Jose needed to be loaded onto a stretcher and carried out, and Nigel informs us that William Regal won't let Jose compete tonight. Instead, he's giving Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, and Ruby a chance to pick a new partner.
They move on to talking about the three way elimination match for the NXT Tag Team Title between the Authors of Pain, the Revival, and DIY. We see a video package hyping the match, then the panel goes over the rules of an elimination match just to make sure they have them straight.
We see a video package hyping Aleister Black vs Andrade "Cien" Almas, and they talk about how much of a change has happened since he first came to WWE as Tommy End. They talk about the scars of his emotional growth and how dangerous he is, compared to how entitled Almas seems to believe himself to be.
Time to talk about the Women's Title match, and we see a video package hyping Asuka vs Ember Moon. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce join the panel to discuss the match and their demands that the Eclipse be banned. They dismissively give their thoughts on Asuka's poor fashion sense and how great the NXT Women's Title would look next to their chandelier.
The panel plugs the WWE Network as we turn our attention to the main event of Bobby Roode defending the NXT Title against former champion Shinsuke Nakamura. We see the video package, and the panel quickly discusses before we move on to the main show!
