I thought Nia Jax did pretty good. I so glad Bayley kept the Women's Championship. The William Regal theory, She just held on and Bayley did all the work.

Okay show for me. Worst TakeOver so far, but still above average. Feel like Finn needs a credible (heel) rival to really take things to the next level. Joe's a great worker, but this feud was missing that special something. He needs somebody to play the role of Kevin Owens. Or maybe he just turns heel. Not quite sure if that would work. i think a real personal feud with a heel hideo itami woud be the next best step for Finn

...I'm currently watching it, and will give my thoughts on it in due course, but I just want to to thank the fans in London (@ziggyfigs amongst them) for being incredibly vocal and passionate - well done to all of you.

I loved the crowd last night. They were into it, but not smarky at all. Every chant was directed at the wrestlers themselves; one guy tried to start a "we are awesome" chant and a bunch of people replied with "no we're not", which was a highlight.

You'll have to help me with some of the chants mate; I'm currently on Cass/Enzo vs Mechanics and there's some awesome stuff going on - I can't make it out though... Little help?

A few of the ones I remember were "Go Enzo Amore" (to the tune of Seven Nation Army), "We love you Enzo, we do" and "Nananananana, nanana, Big Cass" (to the tune of Hey Jude).

I was there last night, first NXT event and second event at the Wembley arena. The last event I came to was a house show that was headlined by Cena and Rollins. They were the most opposite events you could ever go to, last night was just fantastic. The crowd did an amazing job, some of the chants were hilarious and as previously mentioned they were all related to the people which was great. My personal favourite was the Gable/Jordan chant, those guys were so over it was unbelievable. Other favourites were ' her up Asuka er her up!' And 'Corbin is a wanker' lol. I was really impressed by the tag title match, I hadn't seen a lot of any of them as I haven't watched NXT for a few weeks but I thought both teams did really well. Bayley v Nia was a little awkward to watch live, I think it will have come across a lot better on TV. Balor v Joe was great, I am now definitely a Balor fan and got a shirt at the end as a result haha. Only downside to the evening was the complete hassle getting through security. The arena decided to ban all bags of any kind (I know it is a WWE decision as opposed to the arena) but my god did they handle it badly. We queued at one entrance for half an hour to then be told we had to go to another one. Another half an hour later and we were in, but they took my girlfriends handbag (not even a large bag) and made her collect it at the end. Complete overkill in my opinion but it was the only downside on an otherwise awesome night.

I really enjoyed the show and while the in ring action was a lot of fun the production was just freaking awesome and so much better than a regular PPV. The vignettes leading into matches were just so well done and done in about half the time and with none of the pretentious bull crapthat is on a regular PPV these days.

Good show. Asuka versus Emma was the match of the night. Agreed. I'm happy they let that match open the show and I'm also happy they gave it so much time! Asuka is just amazing so I can't wait for her to face Bayley (after Nia). I do want a rematch with Emma though because this match was really great so the rematch would be as well. Super aggressive heel Emma is awesome and I wish she would get a title shot. I know Asuka beat Emma but I want Emma to get a pinfall victory over Bayley in a tag match of Emma/Nia vs Bayley/Asuka. That way at the next Takeover we could have Bayley/Emma for the Women's Title (I'd love it if Emma shocked everyone and won the belt!) and Asuka/Nia.

Well...it's that time again...seems only the other day I did this, and I did - it was for TLC. First off, I'm amazed at the continued growth of NXT, and the UK crowd was a delightful change of pace from the staid Full Sail crowd...as I said earlier, kudos to you blokes for creating a great atmosphere... - My admiration for Asuka is off the page...she is incredible...she was always great; great as Kana, and now - superb. Emma made me very proud, if I could say that...a great way to start off, and again - the fans - unbelievable. Good to see it as a longer match for both as well. - Drake Wuertz (Younger) is already my favourite referee (besides Red Shoes) - man he did well. - Video packages were quite well done too. Camera work in some parts was shocking, the Pele Kick one instance of it being so. - Amazing to see the reception for Enzo and Cass; a solid match with the Mechanics...I believe at one point the crowd chanted 'Are you Dawson? Are you Wilder?' I'm hoping that when Enzo and Cass win the reaction is mindblowing - the guys are so damn over. - I had a feeling Corbin would go over, but I'm glad that Crews at least countered the first End of Days attempt. Corbin needs hairplugs - stat. Oh, and some more time in the gym. - Good Lord London! That song was amazing - had me legitimately grinning like a doofus upon working it out...she was a pro, too, not letting it get to her, marking out...what an intriguing story they wove; and I'm not sure if it's my over 25 years of watching, but as good as she can sell, I never doubted Bayley was in trouble. Not once. Jax did quite well, considering. - Wellity wellity wellity...the main event. Interesting entrance for Balor, as we've not seen the Demon bodypaint in a while. Another solid showing from Joe, he seems to be relishing his role in NXT. It'd be great to see someone, ANYONE, sell the Face Wash with a hand to the face, anything...don't just ing sit there like a t*t. Oh, and please make it more obvious how much you slap your thigh when you do a kick. This is the thing I just can't connect with regarding Balor; they make such a big deal on commentary about how the paint transforms him, in terms of being aggressive and different, but largely he isn't. Not a huge knock, but still...if you're bland, you can't just fix that with a coat of paint. Anti-climactic finish, but the fans were happy, so good on them. Is this where I rate it?

I'm clearly in the minority on this, but I found the crowd to be annoying, distracting and not that different than the idiots at Full Sail. While the intent may not have been 'to be the show', like the Full Sail crowd tries to be, the end result was the same. I can appreciate their energy and excitement, but it was just too much. You don't need to be singing and chanting during every minute of the show.
Other than that, I enjoyed the show.

The other 7 times were just annoying. That's not the Full Sail/UK crowd though. That's how independent wrestling fans have become. Show was good, but definitely average at best. Hoping the next one will be better, with Asuka/Jax and Mechanics/Gable & Jordan most likely taking place.

All chants were directed at wrestlers. Anyway this is what UK crowds are like. We love a good chant. Watch any English Premiership match and you'll see it's just the same. Singing throughout the whole match.

What did they chant during bayleys match? They chanted "Hey Bayley" to the tune of the song "Hey Baby" and they also chanted "Stand up if you love Bayley". I can't remember any others.
