Just finished watching a replay of the show via "other means"

Ending was a bit anti-climatic but Cole vs. Riddle for the NXT title was amazing overall. Match of the Year tier quality.

Balor making a surprise appearance was both great and a bit hilarious. Great in the sense that him vs. Cole should be amazing when it happens and hilarious in the sense of him being demoted to the "minors" due to how bad he was handled on the main roster and WWE being scared of AEW.

Maybe the weakest promo Dream has ever given and wouldn't be surprised if they told him just to stall for time since Cole vs. Riddle should have gone on a bit longer.

Io vs. Mia Yim was pretty good overall.

Gargano vs. Throne was also pretty good. The poison rana spot was cool.

at Shayna's Reign of Terror continuing. Completely bored with her stranglehold on the division and her matches in general since they've been either really dull or have meh/flat endings.

Dunne vs. Burch was decent at best. Priest's post-match attack was the best thing from it.

Montez Ford is great. Street Profits vs. Undisputed Era was pretty good overall.

Ciampa showing up at the end.

Very enjoyable show overall and if this week's is any indication, the Wednesday Night Wars are going to be amazing. Since this was hyped as a Takeover-caliber show, would put it around the mid to upper mid tier range.

Only real complaint these past few weeks is the lack of real storytelling and builds compared to Network era NXT. Its been the biggest downside to WWE's rush to beat AEW. On a smaller level, NXT also started picking up the bad habit from the main roster shows when it comes to poor timing for commercial breaks.
