NXT Takeover Results

NXT Preshow:

Paul Heyman, Christian and Renee Young start by talking about the new talent in WWE like Rusev and Bo Dallas.

Following this, we get a promo video for Tyler Breeze, and Christian says Sammy Zayn reminds him of himself. He says Zayn has the best matches of the night, but he does need to find a little bit more edge. After Zayn's promo, Cesaro joins the panel and says Zayn won't have an easy match tonight. He says you get better with every loss, and he tought Zayn how to lose. Renee asks what Cesaro said to Zayn after their match at NXT Arrival, but Cesaro says he will keep it between them and departs the show.

Charlotte gets a promo for the Women's Title match, and Renee asks Christian how much is about Charlotte, and how much is about her father, Ric Flair. Christian says she needs to own the match and make her own name, then Heyman says it's time to face the situation head on. Bret Hart and Flair both give their opinions on Charlotte, Natalya and the Flair/Hart rivalry, then Renee acknowledges CJ Parker protesting in the crowd.

The preview for Adrian Neville versus Tyson Kidd is up next, and Heyman says he thinks Kidd will beat the champion. He says he's had his eye on Kidd for awhile, but Christian says you can't count Neville out. We go to a prerecorded interview with Kidd and Natalya, and she says tonight is huge and it's about tradition and titles. She says there is pressure, then Kidd says there's tons of pressure and he needs this or he'd be a never was, but Neville could lose and still be a former champion. Michael Cole (interviewing them) asks if Kidd is using this platform to repair his bad reputation as seen on Total Divas, but Nattie jumps in and starts saying this isn't the case. Cole cuts her off and tells her to let Kidd answer, then they bicker back and forth and Kidd says he needs to win. Cole asks if he is OK if Nattie wins and he loses, and Kidd says he would be OK with it. Cole stirs the pot and says he needs to win or he'll just be 'Natalya's husband', then Kidd and Nattie get peed and say he is wrong. Kidd says he does need to win because he put pressure on himself, then Cole wishes them luck and closes the conversation.

Really impressed with NXT once again. Rated this event a touch higher than ArRival, even though nothing was as good as Cesaro vs Zayn.

Rose vs Camacho was decent. It's always good to see Rose bust out the spinebuster, and he's good at working the Full Sail audience. Camacho's improving as well, but I can only see him being used to put over new talent rather than being recalled to the main roster.

The Tag title match was the low point of the evening. Like some of the heels on the main roster (Cesaro, Bad News Barratt), they're not giving the fans any reason to boo them. They go over clean all the time, and never cheat during their matches. El Local & Kalisto could be a fun act, but haven't had time to get over with the crowd. There were also a couple of sloppy spots from Ricardo as well.

Breeze vs Zayn was the match of the night, and the best showing of Breeze's career. Zayn reminds me a bit of Chris Jericho circa 1999, in the fact that he'll remain popular even though he keeps coming up short in the big matches.

I was surprised at how good Charlotte vs Natalya was. It surpassed Paige/Emma match at ArRival. Having the Hitman and the Nature Boy at ringside added to the occasion. It'll be interesting to see of they keep Charlotte heel, or have Sasha Banks turn on her to be the first challenger for her crown.

Neville/Kidd was really good, and more interesting than the ladder match between the Geordie and Bo. The Red arrow always looks amazing as a finisher.

Another thing that added to the event was the commentary. Regal, Phillips and Saxton were excellent again

Will this be on Sky Sports at any point?

Its on tomorrow night before Payback. Starts at 11pm.

Another good show. Zayn's ability to lose in a gallant manor will keep him strong, although it is something NXT is far better at than WWE's main shows.

I find the commentary team a little bit grating. Its nothing they do in particular as they are far more on the ball than Cole and co generally, but their tone of voice just doesnt suit. I also find Regal makes some statements that just feel like hes trying too hard.

Great to see Kidd used. Shame hes, apparently, to be repackaged as a Lucha. Could well be taking Ricardo's place with Kalisto. Ricardo is decent, but hes out of shape and makes notable mistakes.

I'm a big fan of the Ascension btw. Think they'd sell well with the main crowd, might have too much dark sinister comparisons with Rowan and Harper.
