Black and Ricochet did great, no surprise there

I just hope they "break up" that tag team, both guys deserve to shine on their own.
And i'm hoping The Dream retains, yet i think Riddle will win

They don't deserve to be in a dying tag team division. It also makes legit tag team wrestlers at a loss.

I think Velveteen Dream should retain also but if Matt Riddle won I wouldn't be upset. He's really impressed me since his proper debut.

I can't wait for Pete Dunne and WALTER. I guarantee it'll be the match of the ENTIRE weekend.

I'm not yet on the "Riddle bandwagon", i don't hate him, but i'm not huge on him yet.
But this match is good so far...

I denounced him due to the gimmick even though I respected and liked his following in indies. The Bro gimmick is douchebag cringe but it's just himself so I'll forgive it. When he crushed Ohno I enjoyed it.

There's just so much hype for him... that's why everytime i see him i'm esceptic.

But this match might make me a "Bro-liever", it was good, glad Dream retained!

[Piko]

Guessing I'm an hour behind. Started earlier than I thought. Probably midway through the tag match. Good shit so far.

Pete Dunne vs Pete Dunne

Spoiler: Incredible match like I knew it'd be. Wow. That power bomb top rope finish. I have a feeling people will say the match went too long but it was excellently paced and both competitors are incredible so I loved it. As I said above, probably one of the best matches on the weekend I am sure, if not the best.

[henryeatscereal]

That Walter guy is great, i had no idea about him!

[Space Suicide]

He's in all the European scene promotions. I've watched clips for awhile but never really followed him rabidly until NXT UK debut. He feels like a classic "big guy" if that makes sense. Also,

[henryeatscereal]

It's weird, Walter is like a cross between Regal and Psycho Sid, he also reminds me to Wade Barrett a lot

[Space Suicide]

Man, Bianca BelAir is awful. I thought the TakeOver: Phoenix match was passable but this is an atrocious showing. Many other women should be in this position in this match instead.

I don't hate her, but i don't care for her character, I'm also bored with Shayna as champ (but i like her...), i'm sure it's Io's night

I'm also bored of Shayna even though I didn't like her before to being won over. I'm just bored. Her reign is stale and had been too long, even with Sane's tiny reign last summer.

Adam Cole better win this.

[henryeatscereal]

Adam Cole better win this.

I'm fine with whoever wins, both deserve it.

I'm picking Gargano to win because it's long overdue, but Cole has become mega popular, I'll still say: Johnny Wins

I like Gargano and love Cole but I'm totally not feeling this match at all. It doesn't even feel like a title match.

Ehhhhhh.

They started slow, but i'm sure they'll pick it up!

[Space Suicide]

As an Adam Cole fan Spoiler: this losing streak is getting old.

Even though it broke kayfabe, I loved seeing Ciampa come out to hug and celebrate with Candice LaRae and Johnny Gargano.

Spoiler: Kayfabe is dead anyway...
In the end it was a good match and both guys gave their best, as always a Thumbs up show from NXT

[RJK]

They really had me hooked by the end of the match

[Piko]

Probably the best showing Belair has had yet. Solid show from start to finish. Guess Gargano stays in NXT WEEK awhile longer. It's fine. They need him more in NXT.

First time seeing Walter work. Monster. Those chops look devastating. Good match.

Match of the night had to be the tag match. Hansen does things that a big guy like him should never consider doing. He makes it work though. He's crazy agile and ballsy for a guy of his size.

Dream and Riddle was great as well. Good storytelling.

I'm 2/5. Don't feel bad at all that I got so many wrong. Hopefully that long ass show Sunday doesn't stink up the joint. Just be decent and better than the last two. That's all I ask.

[RJK]

Does anyone think Pete Dunne is showing up on Monday?

Not Monday. Think there's a shakeup a couple of weeks later. That's where I think he'll show up.

I think it would be a huge mistake not to debut him in front of that crazy (mainly European) crowd the night after Mania

Shakeup is in UK, I think. Might be Canada. If it's UK, makes more sense to wait.

[Swykk]

I went 4 for 5.

The Women’s match was a sore thumb anyway. Watching Baszler and Belair cut promos on each other was like watching two toddlers argue over who gets the best crayon in the bunch. Io and Kairi did their best to make it decent. Candice should end Baszler now.

All four other matches were killer. I think Dream and Riddle narrowly kept MOTN over Gargano and Cole, which began slowly and blew the fucking roof off in the last ten minutes. I popped huge for Walter’s top rope powerbomb. That was brutal!

Overall, this effectively more than made up for that last dud of a TakeOver.

Maybe, but i think he's ending up on Smackdown...

Best Takeover match: Tie between the Tag Match and Dream/Riddle, both matches were perfectly crafted in my opinion, but Walter/Dunne was not far behind...

[Piko]

That tag match had me on edge the entire time. Probably because of the crazy high spots Hansen was doing. Weak match was the women's match. Wasn't bad, but it felt like it was only planting seeds for the future rather than go for broke.

[Piko]

Some dumbass jumped the rail and tackled Hart during his induction. Guy got his ass beat. Videos all over. Travis Browne got the first hits. Dash Wilder got a few good ones too. Fans shouldn't be allowed in the HOF.

Enzo and Cass also apparently jumped the rail at the njpw/roh show. And you guessed it, they also got their asses beat.

[onthewall2983]

I literally told my brother earlier today this started going downhill when they let any mark with enough cash pay to get in.
