Travis Banks vs. Noam Dar opener has been pretty average soo far. Maybe a bit more duller/weaker than the NXT tag title opener from NXT TakeOver Toronto.
Also doesn't help that right now NJPW has Ishii vs. Kenta going on right now at their Royal Quest show. |

Noam barely connected with his offense.

Dragunov's lucky he didn't blow out his knee from that awkward landing to the outside.

Ceasro vs. Ilja Dragunov
Ceasro issued an Open Challenge before the show and Ilja answered. |

Ending was really lame and killed the crowd but that Last Man Standing match was way better than I expected.

Women's title match was decent at best.
Storm's title reign was a bit of a bust considering she barely did anything meaningful with it. Ripley's reign before her was better. |

Last Man Standing was solid. Couldn’t get invested in the Women’s title bout.

Indeed. This is already 10x times better than WALTER vs Dunne.

Bates channeling his inner Regal with knocking out WALTER only to have it quickly backfire on him.
At least in Bates' case, WALTER wasn't in a pinning position when he fell over. |

Yikes! Wasn't expecting WALTER to put away Bate with a clothesline. What a fucking main event. Worth the price of admission. Wow!

Bit of an abrupt ending but WALTER vs Bate was great.
Show itself was pretty good overall. Better than the 1st NXT UK TakeOver but wouldn't put it in the upper tier of NXT TakeOvers. |

The audience really wanted Bate to win the championship tonight.

That show was a fifteen minute walk from my house and I booked to go on fucking holiday today
But great show. Agree the last man standing match was better than expected, tag match and Cesaro match both great. Dar vs Banks was a bit meh. That main event though was something else. |
