We shoot to a dark Barclays Center in Brooklyn where the WWE Universe is packed into the building and chanting "NXT! NXT! NXT!" as we hear some light guitar riffs.

From there, the music kicks in and it's a full band rocking out on stage near the entrance way at the top of the ramp. The LED screens in the background read, "Code Orange," as the band continues to rock out and clips of NXT action is mixed in.

Almas now has Gargano grounded and is in firm control, pretty much a complete 180 in terms of how Gargano was controlling the action from the offset. The two hit a double clothesline on each other and now both guys are down.

After some back-and-forth action, Gargano gets Almas in the Gargano Escape in the center of the ring, however Almas ends up breaking free.

Young ends up pulling Rezar into the crowd where a brawl ensues. Eventually, the action makes it into the ring where The Authors of Pain double-team Eric Young.

Rezar and Akam take turns tagging in and out, occasionally doing some double-team offense, on a grounded Eric Young. Young has been unable to tag out and has been taking a beating ever since putting himself into the match.

Adam Cole BAYBAY!

After some initial fears about losing talent NXT Takeovers have been killing it recently. They always seem to up their game before a big WWE show aswell, so follow THAT Summerslam.

SAnitY put over huge, Ember and Asuka easily had the best WWE womens match of the year and my boy Drew Mc dethroning Roode.

I'd expect to see Authors of Pain and Roode called up to main roster sooner rather than later now.

Thought it was decent without being really good. First one that has really led me to be interested in what happens next, whereas usually I find them to be quite standalone shows.

Black/Itami was intriguing but Hideo just looks off the pace. I don't have the depth of knowledge on him, so that might be what he's always been like, but he just looked a bit lacklustre.

Tag match was intriguing but not a huge fan of the way it went down. The ending/post-match was better than the match.

First match was good and nice little finish with the shirt. Liked that a lot.

Women's match was the best one, and they have some real talent in there still. Asuka is a don, Ember is very good too. For all the emotion and chemistry of the four horsewomen spell, I think these two are easily as good and in parts better as wrestlers. They told a good story too, but no one is gonna invest as much.

In regards to Asuka, how do you move her move her up to to the main shows? With the streak intact to protect her and build her as the female version of Brock to a possible match with Ronda Rousey at Mania or let someone take her title in NXT and get the rub from doing so?

I think it she will rumble on. I saw the proposed list of call ups from NXT and she isn't on it.

In terms of bringing her up to the main roster, aren't they planning on doing a Women's Rumble next year? If so, i think you just found your winner.

The MITB was the way, but now I'd leave her there. I think it will be great for that division for all the competitors left behind to fall to her, so that when she leaves there is a power balance in that they can all feel on a level playing field.

Sure HHH has begged for her to remain anyway. Sure I saw quotes from him recently about how he wants to build around her.

The problem is how weak their female roster whilst being stretched across three shows. Makes more sense for my money to have a women's show in the same format as 205 Live that is also connected to Raw. Otherwise we are in the revolving feud door where everyone is overexposed to the matchups and people like Nia Jax go from dominant to cumbersome in a month.

MITB was absolutely the right way. Especially to protect her streak.

Someone is going to have to take it at some point, and you could probably make a case for Ember Moon, i'm not sure the rub will mean all that much if the Women's Division is weak.

I'd certainly be looking to make a female only show, actually allows real storylines to develop on there and for it to be properly branded.

I loved Black vs Itami

So much better then the wwe PPV, yet again.

Every match was excellent.
