Excellent show from bottom to top!!! Nakamura/Zayn was an easy 5* classic!
The ME was better than their last encounter in the sense that it felt way more intense, and Finn started to show some different personality as the demon, at the end he looked like he was about to go nuts! The only thing that really prevented this match from also being a 5* contender was the annoying stopping of the match mid-match. If they would have done it ONCE, it would've been ok, but both guys really wanted to go, the fans were ready to go, and Joe looked rally pissed that they weren't let loose... I hope their third encounter will have some sort of stipulation, so this blood-feud can end in a more 'fluent' match. (no pun intended)

Meltz ain't gonna go five stars. He won't ever get a WWE match five stars again so I've heard. Also, since I had four hours to sit around and think, I remembered that Balor's new look was probably inspired by Spider Man 2099 ![](http://www.marvel616politics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/spidey2099.jpg) I've made it safely home. Woo. Can't speak well at the moment. Ordered Shinsuke's shirt off WWE Shop since I couldn't find it there.

After Bayley, who is left to challenge Asuka outside of Nia Jax? Emma is gone, Eva is gone, Bayley will be gone, and no other girls except maybe Alexa Bliss have had the build up to be credible enough as a challenger. Unless they sign somebody like Ivelisse Velez or Candice LaRae this summer, there doesn't seem like many challengers for her. Athena.

I just cannot get over how fantastic Nakamura/Zayn was. Neither man could have asked for a better NXT debut/send-off.

Can't believe I drove 500 miles in one day. Now I'm back home.
Shinsuke and Zayn was well worth it. I hope for great things with him. Lots of people in his shirts and I could over hear people saying how impressed they were.
Now I hope he keeps it up and doesn't phone it in like he did sometimes in NJPW.
Either way, he looked like a damn star already and it was a lotta fun.

Unless they sign somebody like Ivelisse Velez or Candice LaRae this summer, there doesn't seem like many challengers for her. Athena. Yeah Athena (Adrienne Reese in NXT) would no doubt have awesome matches with Asuka! I think the next Takeover event in May will see Asuka vs Bayley II with Asuka retaining and Bayley going to the main roster (if she isn't already). The Takeover after that will likely be Asuka vs Nia Jax although I would love it if they would do something with Billie Kay and Peyton Royce because they both are talented and have been sitting around doing nothing for months. Maybe have Asuka face multiple women so a triple threat of Asuka vs Nia vs Billie Kay. Another idea I think could work would be for someone like Paige or Charlotte to come back to NXT to say they have heard a lot about Asuka (that she is knocking girls out left and right) and want to challenge her to be the first ever 2x NXT Women's Champion (like how Zayn had that quest). I would not want nor expect either of them to win but if they need a bigger title match for the August NXT special than Nia and or Billie Kay I think Asuka/Paige or Asuka/Charlotte would fit the bill. They could instead just build up to Asuka/Nia and or Asuka/Billie and or Asuka/Billie/Nia for a hyped up regular episode of NXT. I think for sure by the October special Athena will be debuted and she should get a title shot. It would be good if she debuted before so that she could win a built up match with someone like Billie/Peyton/Alexa/Nia to then have momentum for her eventually title shot against Asuka.

HBK/y2j - Mania 19 Savage/steamboat - Mania 3 Hart/Piper -Mania 8 ... All won with roll ups, and all used at NXT Dallas (two in the tag match and the finish for the ME) and you can't tell me there bad finishes, I like a roll up finish as it changes up from the constant you hit a finisher I hit a finisher which is a big reason I hate Rock/Cena matches.
Nakamura is the man though, so glad he delivered.
Hope Mania delivers in some way, there not beating NXT for pure wrestling so the spectacle better be huge.

Best chant of the night IMO was "FIGHT FOREVER". I got choked up when they starting yelling it. Which bout was that during, I missed that one. I legit LOL'ed at the "YOU ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ED UP" chant for the Revival! Right in the middle of Zayn vs Nakamura. It made a special moment even better.

Stone Cold vs Bret Hart at Survivor Series too when Austin had the Million Dollar Dream on, had that ending too.

I hope their third encounter will have some sort of stipulation, so this blood-feud can end in a more 'fluent' match. (no pun intended) i understand fans got a little pissed about the stopping of the match but in all honesty, Joe was bleeding pretty bad and the EMT's also have a job they have to do. everyone wanted to see that match but the refs and EMT's have to be concerned about the wrestlers safety. i am also glad they didnt cancel it either because it was a good match. the EMT's cleaned Joe up pretty good though.

That was one incredible show. Shinsuke Nakamura should head to the Main Roster, but only wrestle on PPV's and the odd Raw. He should be an attraction. I was gutted to see Balor win though, it pretty much cancels any chance of him appearing at Raw on Monday. I can't believe the depth of talent the WWE has on their books now, I wish they'd just shove them all straight on the Main Roster and have one of the most successful period's in their history. AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Samoa Joe, Kenta, Austin Aries, it's literally mind blowing the possibilities of some of the feuds we could get. The thing is too, it's not like their all just internet darling technical wrestlers, they all have such charisma etc. Crazy to keep them all hidden in NXT, they could save themselves so much hassle having to put so much stock into creating Stars.
Sooner or later though, if it isn't happening already, Balor will get stale, and that's the last thing they want to happen before he's even made it to the Main Roster. I'm convinced the only reason he isn't going to Raw on Monday is because it will take all of their hard work they've put into making Roman Reigns the guy.

So after a night to digest the event,
God damn what a freaking show.
Tag Match was a great great opener and the right team definitely won. Gable is unbelievable in the ring, from selling to his offense. Not the biggest Jordan fan but last night was definitely a feel good moment for him, seeing how long he'd been in NXT and how far he had come.
Aries/Corbin was what it was, nothing crazy but I enjoyed it. I thought they had great psychology and worked a good, hard style to emphasize the heat in the feud. Where on the main roster, HHH/Reigns will probably start off in a lock up. Notice the difference.
Nakamura/Sami was incredible. Absolutely incredible to watch and I applaud both guys for this absolute ass kicking beauty they put on. I had seen Nakamura live a few times but seeing him on NXT was something else. These two guys went all out and the crowd was crazy into the match. Nakamura is gonna be a star in NXT. Great theme music too.
Baley/Asuka was a good match. Crowd was hurting from the match prior but they were still very pro Baley. If they were hoping for a positive reaction for Asuka, they had the cards against them completely. Facing Baley, beating her for the championship and the way it ended, no way crowd was going to pop for Asuka winning. I look forward to more of Asuka, she is coming along really well in NXT. Not sure whats next for Baley.
Main Event was really really good. Joe and Finn work great together and the added aggression was off the charts. I said no way Joe/Balor top Sami/Nakamura but after the first 5 minutes, I really thought they would do it; until they kept stopping the match for the blood. Blood shed that early put this match on a different level and Joe played it all perfectly. The ref/medical staff were killing the flow, I really wish they just let them go instead of stopping it 4-5 times. I honestly liked the ending. If Finn does debut on RAW, then its more of a surprise because he did not lose the title. Hopefully they set up for Balor/Joe in a 3rd match, like a Steel Cage match or something, just to give Joe the title.
Anyway, like I said it was a great show. The crowd was hot and were into the matches, and rightfully so sh*tting on the situation with the main event. I want to point out something else that really grabbed my attention. I'm pretty sure every single match had hype video package before the match. So rarely do you see more than 1-2 on WWE PPV's but it adds so much to the match and actually shows how much was put into the angle as opposed to throwing them out there. Really impressed that they treated every match last night like a huge deal. Great job to the talent, the production crew, and very importantly, Triple H on yet another TakeOver that will surpass the following WWE PPV.

I just want to acknowledge how far superior American Alpha is at evetything, than just about all other tag teams. The difference between them and The Revival was scarily noticeable.
