NXT title match was pretty great overall. First half was somewhat dull but the second half was amazing.
Scariest part of that finish was Gargano holding a piece of barb wire during the fall since that could have gone horribly wrong for either guy. |

Match was pretty good (would have been better if I didn't feel like "I've already seen it") but that felt like easily the worst TakeOver in recent memory

I guess this confirms why Io was punked out to Baszler - it was because she was Face.

I actually wasn't crazy about this show, just watched it. It wasn't bad or anything just felt like things I had seen before.
Main-Event, while enjoyable, was overbooked and under-sold. Adam Cole gets hit with a sledgehammer and then has zero trouble climbing a cage, which would be hard to do with injured ribs??? |

Shayna is boring af at this point but any time they've built someone up to believably beat her (which Mia was not) they never go w/ it. The last one who could have been believable was Bianca Belair.

Yeah, Belair shouldn't have lost and they should have faced off this year at Takeover Mania....

Only match I didn't like was Women's title match. The first women's match was much better. The cage match was ridiculously over the top (but not literally) but I think it's good way to end Gargano/Cole which is how cage matches used to be utilized
Also I didn't watch live but I suffered from a really annoying 1.5 second or so audio delay for all 3 hours. Never had that problem before, hoping it's not a new feature with the network upgrade. I logged out, turned Roku off, tried to Chromecast, tried to watch it on my phone.. every way had the audio delay |

Io was plenty believable, but not going with her led to Black Lotus Io, so I'm fine with it.

Still seems to me like they're just trying to stall for time to set up for 4 Horsewomen vs 4 Horsewomen feud on the main roster and still treat it like it's a big surprise.

Duke and Shafir being Shayna's hired goons, isn't getting us to that fued any quicker. They're pretty much a joke at the moment.
