MOTN for me was Asuka vs Ember Moon. If i were to rank the matches from top to bottom: Asuka/Moon Almas/Gargano Itami/Black AOP/SAnitY Roode/McIntyre
BTW, loved every match tonight

I'm gonna say I can't call a match of the night. I liked all of them equally for different reasons. Thats what made this one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.
And to cap off my theme of the night, half the main roster just asked for their release so they can come back in six months and be part of NXT.

Truly impressed with the card tonight. One of the best shows from opener to finish. I can't complain about anything or even really nitpick. Kudos to all involved.

Great show! Opener was MOTN for me. Asuka/moon was 2nd best. Tag match was very entertaining and blew away expectations. Black/Itami was solid.
Main Event wasn't bad just a typical Roode match and clearly the least impressive match of the night. Don't want to say Worst because it wasn't bad and this show was just really good top to bottom. That said the closing beatdown ended the show on a high note.

The WCW takeover in 2001 was really bad, but this ROH takeover that they got happening in NXT right now is pretty bad ass!! If Roderick Strong joins Cole and reDRagon, then nobody could stop that group for sure!
As for the NXT Takeover show, it was really good. A few matches I felt were kind of boring to me, but the Tag Title and the NXT Title matches were pretty awesome.

I'm seriously considering taking a WWE hiatus until HHH takes over. This man knows exactly how to put together a show top to bottom. This dude just has IT. Now tomorrow we are going to watch Summerslam absolutely stink up the place because Vince truly doesnt have what it takes anymore. He needs to step down the sooner the better. That whole show was PERFECT start to finish. I think i enjoyed it so much because the card wasnt really anything special on paper so i went in with zero expectations.
Vince/The main show execs really need to take a HARD look at this. This is how its done now. Tomorrow, WWE will kill this high with their crap.

Wow! What a show, from opener to the final sign off that was easily the best show of the year, and maybe best TakeOver ever.
I loved all the matches but if I were to rank them, it would be:
1. Almas/Gargano 2. Ember/Asuka 3. Sanity/AOP 4. Itami/Black 5. Roode/McIntyre (was not a bad match but it seemed to lack an intensity the other previous matches did.)
Plus, I really love the ROH takeover of NXT. Im excited to see where this all heads to.

I think more people should try it instead of going into a PPV with a very negative opinion.

Almas/Gargano absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. I seriously underestimated that one. Legit one of my favorite matches all year long. The entire show was honestly amazing start to finish. Everything went in different directions and it made the entire show just click. ADAM ING COLE BAYBAY! Legit my only gripe of the night is that it didn't end with an "ADAM COLE BAYBAY!". Hearing the Brooklyn crowd can't that would have been one of the greatest moments in NXT history.

Last Monday I watched RAW for the first time in months, and i enjoyed the show. Couple thread headers almost ruined my experience with the negativity, but other than that, the show was good

I liked what I saw. I love how it felt so unique and such a grand stage feel.
The Black Mass finisher is wicked. It was cool to see Drew win the title although I was enjoying Roode. I assume he'll be on either Raw or SD soon.
Asuka retaining was the way to go. She shouldn't lose until her last NXT match.
Adam Cole was over with the crowd. Cool to see him debut even though I don't know anything about him other than his name.

Loved Takeover tonight. Great to see Adam Coke debut. Also I'm glad Asuka retained. I'm curious to see if Roode debuts on the main roster this week.

That show was amazing. I didn't know cien could go like that, I mean I knew he was pretty good, but tonight he and Johnny Wrestling tore the house down in the freaking first match. There was not a bad match or moment on the entire show!

I really loved the music performance at the beginning, I miss when wwe used those kind of songs. It reminded me when saliva performed at the beginning of wm 18 and limp biskit at wm 19.
