NXT TakeOver Portland
 

I’m outside in line in a wide open space and I can already smell some people. Send help.

One confederate flag tattoo spotted already and we’re not even inside. Oh no

Guess unless WWE is running a main roster show the next night, not even USA Network's money is enough to sway NXT into using a unique stage for their PPV events these days.

Should be a good one.

Every new person who gets into the arena thinks they’re the first to say “ADAM COLE ... ... BAYBAY”

I might murder someone before the show starts.

Based on the read off of the match card, gonna guess Ciampa gets booed here.

I think Long Hair Fan and his mom are in front and to the right of me. Lock Jaw will be excited to know he’s grown a goatee.

lol that happened at Takeover NY and Takeover 25 too. It's the modern version of yelling "MISTERRRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYY" to get the "KENNEDY!" response.

Poppy wearing something from the Nia Jax collection.

That might be the most random opening video to a NXT TakeOver ever. Had nothing to do with tonight's show at all.

Paige size though.

Did anybody catch a Mamma Mia chant when Mauro was announced?

What the hell is this

HERE WE FUCKIN GO

BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT

I figured this was going to be on yesterday and I would miss watching it live. Woooo!

Lets go Keith Lee

Devon Sawa is there somewhere, go ask him about Idle Hands or Final Destination

Some in the crowd knew to say Feast Your Eyes.

Sweet seats Dark One.........

Lee vs. Dijakovic starting things off is a great choice.

Ring's lighting seems brighter than usual.

How the hell did Lee catch him on that move?? That was nuts.

Either Dijakovic botched his flip to the outside and suplex afterwards or he meant it to look awkward which seems weird.

Wish they would let Lee do more cool shit.......... Hasn't really done anything in this match

Yeah, the match feels a bit too slow paced and Dijakovic dominating the big spots at the moment.

Their previous encounters were a lot more balanced although plenty of time left for this match to really kick things up.

What the actual fuck

Wow

Dijakovic must have a death wish tonight since that's like thrice he came close to smashing his head onto something.

Jesus Christ.

7 stars

Ending felt a bit abrupt but Lee vs. Dijakovic was very good overall.

Also was better than most of the opening matches at TakeOver in recent times.

That was cool but Lee barely did anything... felt like 90% Dijakovic. Have seen way better Keith Lee matches! Good job from Dijakovic though

The way Lee won seemed a little weird in the arena too. Didn’t get the impression of a lot of back work beyond the apron spot.

Good opener, a little overbooked per usual, but good!

I could have died from that breaking.

Really been enjoying heel Dakota Kai.

Getting flashbacks to Roman Reigns vs. Baron Corbin with the words "street fight"........

If AEW did this spot they'd get criticized for no-selling

When was the last time a Street Fight in WWE actually involved fighting outside the venue and/or in the streets?

Want to say the time Cena and Eddie Guerrero fought outside on some episode of Smackdown but that might have been just a Parking Lot Brawl and not a Street Fight.
