Night Two Review-ish

Killian Dain and Drake Maverick becoming number one contenders provides an interesting challenge for MSK, whether they can overcome the physicality of Dain in the future, will be very interesting to see for sure. The Ladder Match for the Cruiserweight title was excellent, Devlin is a great competitor despite picking up a loss, whereas Santos continues to impress, perhaps a future shot at the North American Title is on the cards for him later in the year. 

Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart found "The Way" to win against Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell, they were never going to lose the titles here as they had only recently won them, in terms of who the next challengers will be? the guess is Aliyah & Jessi Kamea of the Robert Stone Brand.

The co-main event for the NXT Championship was won by Karrion Kross, on commentary it was said Finn Balor had never lost a TakeOver whilst being champion, that run is now over, remember that Kross had to relinquish the title last year due to a shoulder injury, he is now on top of the mountain, it will take a great effort for someone to defeat him, who will step up? tune in to NXT on Tuesday to find out. 

Kyle O'Reilly gained some revenge on Adam Cole from past events, by winning this crazy Unsanctioned Match, there was thought of Roderick Strong appearing here but that wasn't the case, the two going through the entrance floor panel was class, along with O'Reilly putting chains on his leg before driving the knee onto Cole from the top rope, who was laying on steel chairs, for the win.

That moment capped off a two night event which truly stood and delivered, if you haven't seen any of TakeOver, it's must watch, one hundred percent. in terms of rating? 8 out of 10. The two night review-ish is now complete. WrestleMania predictions will be available tomorrow. The content continues. Thanks for reading.
