Card for tonight's show looks great just like every other TakeOver on paper but something about the build felt a bit lackluster or off like most TakeOvers these days.
Like the Women's Dusty tournament felt more like an afterthought than something that should have been way more special. |

Hot take:this NXT's women's division is the best it's been since I started watching in 2014. So many talented people.

Dakota feels like she’s been booked as a face through a lot of this.

Women's Dusty Tag finals was very good.
That air Gonzalez got on her chokeslam was amazing. Guess Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler are losing the tag belts soon since WWE doesn't really do heel vs. heel matches. |

Ember / Shotzi is a really good pairing. I feel like they have good tag team chemistry. Hope they'll stick together for a while.

KUSHIDA wrestling in jeans feels weird. Should be a good one though.

This mix of live crowd and fake crowd cheering has been very jarring in this KUSHIDA vs. Gargano match.

Wonder how long tonight's main event is going to be since its usually the longest for TakeOver shows and this KUSHIDA vs. Gargano match has been on going on too long even though its also been mostly great so far.

KUSHIDA vs. Gargano was great. Also was easily KUSHIDA's best match in NXT so far.
Don't know why they went that long just for Gargano to retain though. |

I was really hoping KUSHIDA was gonna pull it off at the end myself.

The shenanigans with Theory being missing during Gargano's entrance played zero role in the match itself which was a bit odd. Wikipedia says their match was only around 24 minutes but that felt a lot longer. |
