Another great NXT card that I fully expect to deliver in the ring.

Going to bet that this is superior to Double or Nothing.

Well, the last NXT show was an all-time great show and it feels like every NXT show is impossibly better than the previous one, so probably a safe bet.

It will be. Less significant though.

No doubt. End of the day, at this point nxt just has more front line talent and they’re allowed to work in nxt.

And they've all been good, lol.

I haven't been watching NXT, so this event caught me by surprise. I'm pretty excited for it now.

The first Takeover I watched was the one where Owens debuted and Zayn won the title.

There hasn't been a bad one since.

That is absolutely incredible consistency, and it's even more ludicrous that every show for the past two years seems to impossibly one-up the previous show.

Interesting dynamic here. I still contend that Riddle is a natural heel. And Roddy works like a face in singles matches.

Crowd seems very strong so far.

Very good match. Roddy is amazing. One of the best wrestlers in the company.

I think Riddle should have tapped on that lion tamer.

A little too many unhuman-like kickouts for my liking, but still a great back and forth match that had me on the edge of my seat. How is it that takeovers always have matches like this yet the main roster never does?

Agreed. Would have been fine for the main event, but it was a little much here. They could have done most of the same stuff without all the kickouts.

Wouldn't mind being proven wrong here, but I think this match should have been UE against Burch and Lorcan.

Kyle O'Reilly is superhuman.
