NXT, AEW: Strong booking for TakeOver Stand & Deliver, The Elite melodrama Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

NXT delivered one of the most impactful television shows in its history as it solidified the vast majority of its TakeOver: Stand & Deliver card, which looks to be its most ambitious effort yet. Host Adam Silverstein opens by diving into the Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly feud and his hope for an additional stipulation being added to their match [3:38]. Also from NXT, "The Silver King" looks at multiple title announcements from William Regal that will prove exciting as well as multiple problems with LA Knight and an early look at the entire TakeOver: Stand & Deliver show. Up next, Adam talks AEW Dynamite with a focus on the melodrama surrounding The Elite, a great opening match with Kenny Omega and why he may be the face in the feud with the Young Bucks [33:48]. Also from AEW, a tremendous promo from Britt Baker, too much Tony Schiavone and using Sting as a ratings ploy. Follow Getting Over on Twitter @GettingOverCast.
