Most looking forward to Shayna vs Bianca, it's an interesting match up. Bianca's strength and athleticism vs Shayna's technical ruthlessness.

I couldn't watch it live but I've got it started now. Smart move to start the show off with the Tag team match. That match will really set the tone of tonight imo. NXT constantly puts out tag team classics no matter the turn over their roster takes. Undisputed Era is my favorite thing going in NXT right now. Them Ciampa and Velveteen Dream.

Damn, once again. What a fucking great opening match. We have new NXT Tag Team Champions. One has to wonder if the Undisputed Era is set for a call up after WrestleMania.

Time for Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. Two guys I couldn't care less about. Ohno I always heard great things about him in the indies but ever since he joined NXT I haven't seen anything to warrant the praise he was getting. He gained a lot of weight though so maybe that's it? Matt Riddle I just know I hate him already. Hate his "bro" bullshit as it reminds me of Vince fucking Russo. I hate his surfer boy look and I hate anybody that wrestles fucking barefoot. It seriously annoys me.

Awesome match from Gargano/Ricochet as expected. Stole an almost identical spot from Will Osprey and New Japan with the flip out of a top rope hurricanrana

Crowd were pretty silent during the Womens title match until we get the false finish. Now they're alive.

Pretty solid match. Liked how they booked the ending there. Bel Air eats her first loss but looked very strong in doing so.
Curious where the other 2 UFC Horsewomen are with their training because they've been pretty limited in what they've done on NXT. Even in the interferences they don't really do a whole hell of a lot so I'm wondering if they're limiting them because they're not trust worthy yet or what.

Incredible main event. Ciampa just knows how to do the little things in the ring that make a storyline and match all come together. It's not the most athletically showcases of matches but it's just technically sound. He just knows how to portray his heel character in the matches as well. The ending sequence was awesome. The counter into the elevated DDT was fucking insane, didn't see it coming at all and was massively impressed. Black hitting the Black Mass and crawling over to Ciampa only for Ciampa to roll onto his side/stomach to avoid a pinfall last second. Like I said, it's just little things like that which take matches from good to great. Fantastic performance.

Match by Match Grades
NXT Tag Team Championship: A-
Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno: C-
NXT North American Championship: B+
NXT Womens Championship: B-
NXT World Championship: A
No A+/5 Star matches from me but once again seemingly as always NXT TakeOver delivered one hell of an overall show.
Can't wait for tomorrow night. While it almost always disappoints the Royal Rumble is my favorite PPV of the year.
