Flawless show. Every single match was entertaining. There were a couple decent title changes. All in all, the show flowed well and was just pretty amazing.

I can't even tell who match of the night was because it would be hard to choose.

Loved every match, my favorite was Baszler v Belair just because I wasn't sure if they'd pull the trigger on Belair or not. I'd say the best match was Era vs Raiders. I always love NXT tag matches, they're all great

Prediction wise I got 3/5, missed both DIY guys winning

I expect black to be in the rumble.

This show was amazing. NXT never fails to put on an amazing wrestling show full of different match styles from a slow worked heel type match to an insane fast paced match. What an event. Let's hope the Rumble can be just as excellent

what a surprise, another great TakeOver,

the tag titles were great, Riddle/Ohno had one of the best endings to a match and even though I didn't catch most of Shayna/Bianca, it sounded like the crowd was into it.
Gargano & Ricochet put on the best match of the night for me by mixing Gargano's incredible storytelling with Ricochet's out-of-this-world-athleticism. The way Johnny kept going back and forth with himself on whether or not he should go down the "Ciampa route" or risk the chance of losing a big match again was told perfectly.
After all the fast paced stuff that came before it, the main event honestly fell a bit flat for me and I feel like the crowd felt a bit deflated as well. Even though the whole "work the leg" cliche made Ciampa look like he has 200iq, while Black kept trying to do moves that put pressure on his injured leg, it just reminded me of a typical "methodically paced" match and I don't really fuck with those too often, so yea.. it's definitely a good match but not much more than that imo.

Loving this DIY reunion, this storyline will never have a definitive ending and I love it. That's why I think both of them should never go to the main roster. Just have a career in NXT, keep this thing going for as long as possible and then retire after 15 years in developmental lol

Possibly the best allover takeover there has been. Tag opener was insane, Belair booked strong as fuck through loss, incredible showing in Gargano/Ricochet, yet another show stealer by Ciampa. Top to bottom a phenomenal show

8/10 very good TakeOver show as always, the only match I didn't really liked was Ohno and Riddle. It wasn't a bad match just not really my type.

Shoulda watched it... F***

*Looks Around for a Moment*

You know...I'm SO glad Johnny Gargano finally won a title...
and the match itself was excellent.

As much as I'm ignoring the entire main roster these days...
I don't think I'll ever stop watching the TakeOver shows...
UK included.

~ The opening tag team match was excellent...WAR! WAR! WAR!
~ I honestly didn't care about Riddle/Ohno...I think I made soup during it...
~ Baszler/Belair was better than I expected...although the "run ins" are
starting to annoy me...
&
~ Ciampa/Black told a great story with Ciampa retaining...

Another great TakeOver...so...Thank you again NXT.

Damn how did I manage a triple post?

 

[Chaz-1]

8/10 Another fantastic Takeover!

Takeover show's have become a highlight for me as they always seem to produce the goods!

The showstealer for me was Gargano v Ricochet which was full of incredible moves and told a good story. Running a close second was that tag team match......Love how NXT put emphasis in tag team wrestling and proper tag teams. Such a pleasure to watch and sorley missing from the main product!
