Fuck that was an amazing swerve at the end and now we can't even get the conclusion to the rivalry because of Ciampas injury. I'm assuming Johnny would have finally won but idk how that would have effected his main roster call up

What's going to happen to the NXT Championship?
As first revealed by Cathy Kelley last week, WWE COO Triple H will come to NXT this week to address the matter on the minds of all Superstars and fans: What’s the status of the NXT Title following the neck injury suffered by champion Tommaso Ciampa?

The Game’s return to Full Sail Live couldn’t be better timed, with only three weeks to go until WrestleMania Week and TakeOver: New York. Don’t miss Triple H’s all-important announcement when NXT streams this Wednesday at 8/7 C on the award-winning WWE Network.

That Fatal-5 way was fucking great. Cole was who I wanted to win, and I'm assuming he'll beat Gargano as well just bc I still can't see Gargano winning the big one but maybe it's finally his time. Riddle stays steady impressing me as well. Also it was kinda weird how they had pre-recorded interviews about the main event when Trips announced it in the ring at the beginning of the show :side:

I don't get what the big deal with Adam Cole is tbh.

Personally I would've went all in with Velveteen Dream and have him double champion since he is the biggest crossover star they have imo.

Fun match and I’m happy with the outcome. I’ll be rooting for Cole at Takeover but I wouldn’t be opposed with a Gargano win.

I've always liked Cole since ROH but I'll admit I never saw him as a big WWE player and still don't know if he'll do much on the main roster but I've been loving him on NXT so far

I hope Gargano wins but it looks like he won't since he's main roster bound. My guess is they wanted him to beat Ciampa in New York then probably have him drop the title to Cole at the following Takeover. Since Ciampa is injured maybe they're hotshotting it. OR, maybe Gargano will beat Cole this time then drop it to him at the next Takeover.

Well before I talk about that Fatal 5 Way I must commend WWE for what they showed up earlier in the Show. Between them showing Ciampa's Surgery showing the sacrifice of what it takes being a Wrestler, to Bianca showing more of her bratty attitude towards Io and Kairi their was some good stuff all around in this Show. Just like Tony Nese it was the smart decision to make Cole the guy to face Gargano at NXT Takeover NY. Riddle vs Dream is a lock I feel, you saw them barely touch at times, Black and Ricochet will most likely be facing for the Tag Titles vs The War Raiders if they win the Dusty Classic, so Cole is the only guy who is going to be free for that spot. He didn't blow away anyone in this Match I felt, just enough, but enough to show his intelligence is a problem for anyone to deal with.

Aleister Black & Ricochet meet The Forgotten Sons in Dusty Classic finale
As The War Raiders await the newest challengers to their throne at NXT TakeOver: New York, a separate crown will be bestowed this week when the teams of Aleister Black & Ricochet and The Forgotten Sons square off in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Final. In the weeks since the tournament’s launch, eight teams have battled it out in the name of the lionized WWE Hall of Famer, electrifying Full Sail Live with a series of stellar clashes. Now, only two teams remain, as the stakes sit high and tension is fully boiled.


The Forgotten Sons raised the temperature last week when they ambushed Black & Ricochet from behind after the duo’s grueling Fatal 5-Way battle against Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole and Matt Riddle. Plenty of questions were raised after the attack, none more pressing than what condition Black & Ricochet will be in for the finals. Will Steve Cutler & Wesley Blake complement their vicious streak with a Dusty Classic victory, or will they Fade to Black as Black & Ricochet become The One and Only challengers for The War Raiders’ NXT Tag Team Titles at TakeOver: New York?

What will happen when Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano meet face-to-face?
Adam Cole will stand face-to-face with Johnny Gargano, less than two weeks before their 2-out-of-3 Falls Match for the NXT Title at TakeOver: New York.


What will Gargano have to say to his opponent, who incredibly outlasted the likes of Velveteen Dream, Aleister Black, Ricochet and Matt Riddle in a hectic slugfest to earn a ticket to the NXT Championship Match at TakeOver? Better yet, will the squared circle be enough to contain their uncontrollable championship desire?

Kacy Cantanzaro & Lacey Lane take on Aliyah & Vanessa Borne
The high-flying combination of Kacy Catanzaro & Lacey Lane will take on the bad and bougie alliance of Aliyah & Vanessa Borne in tag team action. Expect sparks to fly when these tandems collide. Can Aliyah & Borne add another win to their united front, or will Catanzaro & Lane throw a blow to their momentum?

The Original Bro squares off with NXT's "Finest"
Before stepping into the spotlight with NXT North American Champion Velveteen Dream at TakeOver: New York, Matt Riddle will take on Kona Reeves this week. While his championship match against Dream still may be on the brain, Riddle will have to shift his focus on Reeves, who poses a significant threat to The Original Bro on the road to TakeOver.


Can NXT’s favorite Bro shake off any sign of fatigue following the daunting Fatal 5-Way Match, and pull out a victory? Find out this Wednesday at 8/7 C, only on WWE Network.
