It's almost like when a brand has value you can trust it to deliver no matter what! So here's the major lowdown on what was up. Our latest NXT champion Aleister Black survived his first title defence as he went up against everyone's favourite bald gorilla, Lars Sullivan. The question here was whether Lars would be able to catch Black's spinning heel kick finisher, Black Mass, and at first it looked like he would be successful but as the match went on it got harder and harder until the stiff gust of wind from Black's foot passing about 18 inches away from his face knocked him down for a two count. In the end it took two Black Masses (Black Massi?) to put this behemoth down for good in a finish that made both men look great. Are you watching, Road Dogg? There was also a title defence in the works for the Women's champion Shayna Baszler as she tried to wrap her brain around the insanity that is Nikki Cross. For all that Shayna talks about how much she loves to inflict pain apparently when she finds someone who loves receiving pain it's not fun any more. Nikki spent more time begging for it than a piss-slave in a sex dungeon and though she got in a fair few hits herself Shayna was just too much for her. The match finished up with Shayna choking out Nikki out while she drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face, probably dreaming of how happy she is to escape Sanity's main roster callup. The Tag Team belts were also defended as the whole of Chicago turned heel to cheer on the Undisputed Era against Oney Lorcan and Danny Birch, who were making their Takeover debut. Even though this one had a minimal build and Oney and Danny were blatant stand-ins for an unavailable Moustache Mountain this still turned out to be absolute fire. Oney and Danny were desperate to impress and worked a mile a minute with heavy shot after heavy shot and also this loving bump: https://twitter.com/totaldivaseps/status/1008141739582947328  Oney and Danny looked to have things wrapped up only for Adam Cole BAYBAY to get in the way, leading to the heel manager being sent to the back to echoes of loud “BULLSHIT” chants. Roddy and O'Reilly soon turned things around and claimed the victory but Oney and Danny did great and were rewarded with a standing ovation from the fans so expect them to show up on another Takeover soon. In a match that went up against some big expectations Ricochet and the Velveteen Dream finally got to air their grievances. This all about 'anything you can do I can do better' and both men proved tried to steal each other's style all the way down to their ring-gear. Although Ricochet's winged cape was no match for Dream's inspired mix of Hulkamania and Prince Puma. Dream also showed off his latest flippy-do training with a number of aerial moves while Ricochet took a few moves out of Dream's playbook with the Death Valley Bomb and the Purple Rainmaker. Ricochet came out on top after Dream whiffed an attempt to go coast to coast but really both guys are winners of my heart and that's all that ever matters. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa are not going to stop this until at least one of them is dead. Literally, dead. Their rivalry continued in one of the most brutal and violent and weirdly sexy garbage fests ever seen in wrestling. Tops came off, belts came off, there was some light BDSM play... those of us in the thread had some fun, that's all I'm saying. The action was back and forth throughout culminating in a callback to that very first betrayal as Ciampa threw Johnny into the stage AND RIPPED OFF HIS WEDDING RING only for Johnny to turn it around a huge Air Raid Crash through a couple of tables. But Johnny's lust for murder would not be sated. While officials tried to strap Ciampa to a stretcher Johnny pushed them away and dragged Ciampa back to the ring where he was cuffed and received a series of superkicks. Except all of a sudden Ciampa managed to find a DDT onto an exposed part of the wooden ring floor and the hopes and dreams and fantasies of thousands of fans were dashed. The show went off the air with a grinning Ciampa while the crowd told him to gently caress himself and now we're looking at a final conclusion in Brooklyn that will either be 3 Stages of Hell or a prelude to gay sex. Possibly both! What else is going down? War Raiders have murdered a whole lot of jobbers, Pete Dunne is still real mad at TUE, Bianca Belair is the future of women's wrestling, THE FINEST Kona Reeves is anything but, Dakota Kai might have overcome her trauma – it's a wait and see on that one, Kairi Sane killed racism, EC3 is looking to give NXT a rebranding and Pat McAfee is the best thing to ever happen to WWE pre-shows.

This week's episode was awesome from top to bottom. Ricochet and War Raiders's jobber matches were fun, Lars/Killian was brutal as hell and Candace/Vega was the happy ending that feud deserved. And next week we get Gargano/Black for the NXT title

While I kinda agree at the same time it would make no sense for Candace to be off doing her own thing with everything Gargano's going through right now, you have to show the impact it's having on her to make the story feel real

I thought Kona did good in that match  It was a great episode all round, really. The main event was outstanding and the Ricochet/Dream Takeover match is gonna be lit as hell. I hope Dream pulls out a reverse 450.

Phenix Rising posted:Also when they say series - is this like a full-on WEEKLY series, or some dumb poo poo where they do a few "big events" under the brand and then forget about it until it's Rumble/Mania/etc. weekend? The way the WWE UK stuff has gone gives me little faith that they'll actually do something cool and good, but if this is a straight up new weekly show (hopefully right after NXT each week?) then I'm excited. They're doing a series of 8 tapings so it sounds like it's going to be a limited run weekly shows so I reckon they're trying to get it on a station here (Channel 4 would be a good fit). We don't really do year round television in the UK apart from our major soap operas so there's no way they'd get that kinda deal here.
