The Samoa Joe versus Finn Balor match at NXT Takeover on June 8th is likely the blowoff match for the feud, and the loser is likely moving up to the main roster. 

The final plans for the live special should be more apparent following this week’s NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. The first show taped would be the ‘go-home’ show, and the others would be for content airing after the NXT Takeover special airs.

Stephanie McMahon may continue to be featured on WWE TV through the fall, and pushed more as her announced book gets closer to release. 

The book is scheduled for a 9/27 release date, and Stephanie is being marketed as a popular WWE figure with a big social media presence. WWE will likely go for press in social and mainstream media outlets, and WWE wants to make her the business ‘face’ of WWE, so it makes it almost a lock she will be pushed heavily. This is also the first autobiography of a McMahon to be heavily pushed on WWE TV, making her role that much more likely.
