After the first one the referee warned him not to do it again. Taking a DQ to retain isn't a face move.

Yeah, referee drake gives him a pointed 1 with his finger after he breaks up the hold really late. Either admonishment or "you used your 1 break up" or something.

1. Ciampa/Gargano shouldn't have main evented because the finish was a joke.
2. Black should have had a better opponent than Lars who clearly was not ready for that position.

Heavily agree on 2.

On 1, part of why they main evented is probably because they tore the ring apart during the match. gently caress cleaning that up quickly for another match afterwards.

Reminder that the nxt women's title only really needs one more match because the match after evolution will be vs the myc2 winner. I think they can find one more person for shayna if they go that route, though I am also rooting for kairi, and it makes sense to me that she wins tomorrow and defends in a rematch at evolution.

Nxt roster rules right now. TUE vs war raiders vs BSS in war games (this is a guess not a spoiler) is going to rule. Matt riddle and Keith Lee rule. The new myc2 roster women rule. I'm so hyped for nxt.

That was such a great heel turn all around

That whole show was incredible!

Also I'd be pretty happy if war games had 2 women's matches to balance out the 8 man. Kairi vs shayna and a number 1 contenders match, maybe. Doing the same as last time and having a 4 way (nikki, Candace, Bianca, toni or io or someone) would work imo. Either way takeover consistently rules.

Really late to this one but finally read the full results of that Takeover, knew most of the stuff but had to double check when someone told me Hero lost to Riddle in 7 seconds in a match that almost wasn't even on the card

lol

Apparently it was always going to be on the card, but triple h lied about it because people would be less upset about a surprise 7 second match than an announced 7 second match.

how was it spoiled for you? they taped the ending twice with different winners.

it feels to me like they're trying to prestige it up. it's only been around for what, a year? i think main eventers bouncing it around is supposed to just sell the title as desirable.

I was blessed to see Matt riddle vs Artemis Spencer live very close to when riddle signed. It ruled and I've been excited for him ever since.

I also wouldn't be shocked to see a Matt riddle vs Adam Cole nxt title feud, if the other 3 more used stars are going to refocus on the main roster now. Matt riddle getting a title defense against ciampa when he comes back would also be really cool I think.

Also having not read the most recent taping spoilers, I'll be shocked if shayna doesn't cause kairi vs Bianca to be a no contest.

seems to me like they're setting up Adam Cole champion -> Cole vs riddle in Toronto. or at least the latter match, but riddle being booked strongly while eating pinfalls implies to me he's going for the big belt and I think they'd have him face Cole, not Johnny.

Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes they setup 3/4 of the card on the go home show.

This card feels like it's been locked in since the last Takeover.

yeah the only thing different than what was set up at the last show was that riddle vs Cole was being telegraphed hard. shayna's opponent could have been anybody. also dunne showing up feels kind of random but he owns.

Yeah,. word was getting around the arena (even before it leaked to the internet) that the cage was there well before the show started, but the weapons were a total surprise that they never indicated to the crowd. In hindsight it was great because people were going apeshit when they saw the weapons.
