Every year, it seems every TakeOver show just outshines the WWE main roster's PPV the following night. This one? May have been the single best TakeOver we have gotten to date. There legit was not one single weak point of the show. Outside of the preview of the movie based on Paige's life which looks stupid and damn, Paige is looking a bit chunky now but that can be expected I guess. Anyway, the actual show?
6 Man North American Champion Ladder Match started shit off and HOLY SHIT! It started the show off with a bang. EVERYONE involved looked like stars. I have nothing bad to say about anyone involved and to me it was the match of the night. It was amazing.
NXT Women's Championship. Was a damn good match with some great story telling where Ember used Shayna's arm break/pop spot against her. The Eclipse on the outside and then the Eclipse counter and the ending? Just a great ending. Shayna looked good despite not being a huge fan of hers and it kept Ember looking strong in a pass out loss if she's on her way to a main roster promotion.
NXT Tag Team Title/Dusty Classic Triple Threat Match. This was probably the weakest match of the night but it was still a great match. Adam Cole pulling double duty had me skeptical of how they'd handle it but taking him out of the match early with a power bomb through the announce table made perfect sense. The ending? Oh damn that had some heat behind it from the crowd and twitter haha.
NXT Championship match came on 4th not main eventing the show. This was my 2nd favorite match of the night. Black vs Almas just told a great story and my god Zelina Vega brings so much to Almas' character and to his matches that she was just the perfect touch to this match. It shows how great managers can be in professional wrestling. I personally loved the ending that Zelina was getting so desperate to help Almas' retain that she in the end cost him the match. Was a brilliant ending in my mind. Top notch.
Non Sanctioned Fight Ciampa vs Gargano. This match was the deserving main event. I know A LOT of people will feel differently on this not being my match of the night but there were parts in there that I felt a bit bored so it wasn't as exhilarating as the Ladder match or the NXT title match for me personally. It told an amazing story. The beginning and the ending of the match was just perfect however there were parts in the middle that slogged a bit. Amazing match none the less and I'd of ranked it 3rd on the night.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better showing from NXT. It was yet another amazing Takeover and it's going to be rough for even 1 match on the WrestleMania card to even match the top 3 from tonight, that includes Styles/Nakamura. They just continue to out do themselves it's insane.
