I'm guessing Ember's getting called up? They could continue the feud, but I think she gets called up. With the promos for the women's battle royal including NXT girls, I could see her win it.

TakeOver is going to be hard to top. All the matches were great, all the right choices were made in terms of winners, losers, heel turns etc. All round brilliant show.
The ladder match was one of my favourite matches of the night. Ricochet had a great performance but I think Adam Cole winning was the thing he needed to make him a bigger star in NXT, he was the right choice to win. Velveteen Dream did well too, he was involved in some great spots in the match. EC3 was a little dissapointing in the ring though.
Shayna Baszler vs Ember Moon was perfect in my opinion. It has been one of my favourite feuds in recent memory.
The tag match was great and Roderick Strong turning heel and joining the Undisputed Era was a nice and unexpected twist.
Aleister Black and Andrade Cien Almas had a good match and Black got a deserving victory and it felt like the time was right for him to win the title. It will be interesting to see what happens to Andrade and Zelina Vega once WrestleMania is over and whether they will be called up to the main roster.
Gargano vs Ciampa was a brilliant match, all round perfect. This match had great storytelling and the ending was brilliant. A fitting end to a war and a fitting close to the show, it couldn’t have been better in my opinion.
Once again NXT delivered a top class TakeOver show. 10/10.

I’d be willing to pay $20 to hear Jim Cornette do commentary over this PPV.

Gotta say, the ladder match was MOTN for me. Yes, over Gargano/Ciampa.

Velveteen elbow off the top of the ladder was insane, he was well above the championship

Ladder Match - ****1/2 Women's Title - **** Tag Titles - ***1/4 NXT Title - ****1/2 Gargano/Ciampa - ****3/4 Find it hard to disagree with any of these actually. What an event. Actually kinda glad I didn't watch live and thread head with the inane complaints on here.

For me match of the night has to be Gargano/Ciampa in the Unsanctioned Match. Nothing comes close to it not only because of the chemistry and the history but the overall personal nature of the match. A lot of brutal spots but also it had a fair share of wrestling and brawling. However, whoever said Ciampa should have gone over then you are 100 percent right. I mean if you want to push Ciampa as the #1 heel on this show then no greater way for him to get heat than to get rid of Gargano. However, Gargano going over in the end makes sense especially if you want him to get back into the NXT Championship picture. Their match is definitely better than HBK/Jericho or even HHH/HBK as far as Unsanctioned matches go in WWE. 6 Man Ladder Match definitely was the show stealer for me and nothing comes close. Adam Cole essentially becoming a double champion basically puts him even more over in NXT hell it should propel him straight to the NXT Championship. I can take Cole as NXT North American Champion but I don't see him holding it for long especially if Black is gonna need new contenders soon for that newly won NXT Championship. I still can't even believe that Strong is the newest member of the Undisputed Era. They are at 4 strong now with Strong joining their faction and with the 4 of them as a group as a faction they can truly take over NXT. Adam Cole as the main eventer of the group, Fish & O'Reilly as the tag team and Strong as the mid card talent in the NXT North American Championship picture. I actually see it being Roddy/Black for the belt in May. And I hope I’m correct because those two could tear the house down easily. Yeah provided they build up Roderick Strong to be the main event level talent in NXT. However, I can see Adam Cole in that spot well him being back in the NXT Championship picture by then and him being #1 Contender for Black's title reigniting that feud.

I stand by my comments from last night about the ladder match, but having watched it again today, it was better the second time round.
Gargano vs Ciampa was beautiful. I felt like I was watching a melodrama.
Everything else was alright, but I'd say this was the least impressive TakeOver so far. Still better than 99% of main roster PPVs, but lacklustre compared with other TakeOver events.

As good a match as it was, they missed a trick in not having Candice turn on Gargano, and help Ciampa win. That lets Gargano go to 205 - where he's going to end up anyway, and keeps those two down in NXT - because neither are getting called up anytime soon.

I’m sorry but after being out of touch with wrestling for so long, to finally be able to buy the network and watch NXT; is amazing. I love how it is produced, the matches and everything about it. It’s got me hooked back on wrestling again. Something I haven’t been for a long long long time No need to apologize. The show was amazing last night. Nothing to do but enjoy it. Any time I’m down on the main roster product, NXT virtually always reminds me that I’m still truly a fan and I love wrestling. Honestly last few years I’ve been out of it and just watched a few highlights here and there. But recently NXT highlights got me hooked for Wrestlemania weekend

Turning Candice heel is a terrible idea, a complete waste of a potential top babyface for the women's division. Jeez.

Jeez. yeah I agree, that sounds straight out of a Vince Russo play book - "oh they are married in real life? Let's break em up on TV!" Candice isn't going anywhere; no character development since the Mae Young Classic last year beyond being Gargano's wife. Ciampa has mega heat already without her. It would be such a waste.
