For those wondering, Cesaro is on that card because Tyler Breeze raises up a stink about not being on Takeover despite being the best attraction NXT has. William Regal announces that Breeze will have a match at Takeover...against Cesaro. Breeze calls Cesaro a "boring uggo" heading into the match. That sort of stuff. Cesaro wins after using the Swing and locking in a Sharpshooter. I'm tempted to put Breeze over so there is a potential rock-paper-scissors dynamic between Breeze, Sami Zayn and Cesaro when Zayn is ready to return, but I think Cesaro getting the win and Breeze taking it heavy allows for more development. Tye Dillinger scores Cesaro an "8".
Rhyno vs. Crowe is based on Crowe claiming to be NXT's Resident Little Monster. Rhyno -- coming off a loss to Samoa Joe -- wants to fight out what Crowe is really made of. The two have a hardcore match, and Crowe wins after hitting a new finishing move after Rhyno misses a Gore through a table.
Bayley vs. Emma has already been set up. This is essentially a #1 Contender's Match for the NXT Women's Championship. Dana Brooke is at ringside with Emma. This is where Devin snaps, attacking Dana at ringside after being shown some disrespect (and maybe even being beaten down the week before). Bayley capitalizes and becomes #1 Contender.
Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss in a Hair vs. Hair Match sounds extreme, but don't tell me it doesn't have you intrigued. Plus, it suits Carmella's gimmick of being an ex-hairdresser. For some reason, I imagine Bliss winning this, because I can see Carmella pulling off the shorter hair thing better. It could make her a more "serious" character within the Women's Division.
