What a fantastic show overall, probably one of the best Takeover shows there have ever been, every match delivered in their own way and 3 of them were really great. May have been different to the traditional War Games match but it was still a hell of a lot of fun Big win for Undisputed Era too, to make them look strong, which is what they needed really. I do think the match goes on a little too long but has a hell of a lot to enjoy. But things really pick-up once Aop come in and start murdering people as it turns into absolute chaos with lots of fun action and spots and even some weapons being brought into the mix. Not the most exciting match the begin, Strong, Cole and Young start the match and then rest of Undisputed Era get control, all the action was solid but not the most enticing. Winner: Almas (via hanging hammerlock DDT) ****1/4 Apparently Mcintyre also suffered a potential bicep tear in the match so that sucks. Was really happy to see Almas win the belt here and he did so in very brutal fashion, hitting a hanging version of his Hammerlock DDT which looked like death for Mcintyre. These guys kept consistently kept a good pace throughout and filled it was some great back and forth action. after the match Asuka comes in the ring to hand Ember the bely which was very lovely. She actually gets the win with a weird double Eclipse on Nikki Peyton which was a little convoluted but still looked cool as fuck. Moon finally gets her title win, which felt like the right choice, considering how long sheвЂ™s been gunning for it. Really fun 4 way match, all the ladies worked hard and there was lots of good action and nearfalls going on with everyone playing their part well. After the match Aleister Black, finally says Velveteen Dreams name, welcoming him to infamy. I the end this is the kind of match that was elevated by itвЂ™s other factors other than the in-ring work(which was really good anyway).

ThatвЂ™s not to detract from Black though who also did a great job and was impressive himself. ItвЂ™s great seeing how far Patrick Clark has come these last few years since first appearing on tough enough and it looks as though heвЂ™s found something that really works for him.

Velvteen Dream wanted Black to acknowledge him and I think its safe to say he really proved himself, this was a breakout performance for him and although he lost, he still came out of it a star. Speaking of standout performances, this absolutely ruled, it had great character work, storytelling and action, with Dream emulating Rick Rude some with his tights and mannerisms. Big fan of Lars indirectly keeping the wrestling spirit of Takeshi Rikio alive and heвЂ™s got a bright future ahead of him if he keeps up the good work heвЂ™s been doing so far. He got to show off his strength and absorbed all of OhnoвЂ™s stiff strikes before hitting Muso to win the match. Very good opener to start things, it was short, sweet and physical, with Lars really impressing in his Takeover debut. ItвЂ™s the latest NXT Takeover, featuring the much anticipated return of War Games, the Cage may not have a roof, but IвЂ™m sure its gonna be a barrel of fun.
