Night 1 Review-ish
Zoey Stark picked up a huge win against Toni Storm, that win will propel Stark to the title picture for sure, Storm will have to regroup and go again after that loss. Pete Dunne vs. Kushida was a technical contest from the get go, the match itself went pretty much as we all predicted. Kushida bought his A-Game but it wasn't enough to defeat the Bruiserweight.
The Six-Man Gauntlet was non stop, all participants raised their level from how we see them perform in the ring on Wednesdays, Tuesdays now from the upcoming week, Bronson will go on to challenge for North American Championship in what will be a damn good match.
Speaking of battles, this is exactly what we had for the Walter vs. Ciampa match, I did not know the champion had a title reign going over seven hundred days and counting, the thought going in to this contest was Timothy Thatcher playing a pivotal role, which clearly didn't happen, admittedly, I haven't seen many of Walter matches considering I don't watch NXT U.K, there's only so much wrestling one can watch. Impressive feat by the champion to get a clean win over the NXT veteran.
As you may know, I'm not a fan of tag team wrestling, why? because it's not my cup of tea (other drinks are available) that may all change if future matches are of this level. Congratulations to MSK on winning the NXT Tag Team Championships, they have come a long way in such a short space of time, they definitely have made an impact so far, after much consideration, Legado del Fantasma were the standout team here, sign me up for another match with the teams involved, on another day, the Grizzled Young Veterans may soon be recognised as the NXT Tag Team Champions, until then, it's MSK's time.
Congratulations to Raquel Gonzalez on capturing the Women's Championship in the main event of night one, she has been a force ever since WarGames last year where she pinned Io in that match also, so that's two wins in a row for her over the now former champion, expect another match or two between these two, Io was a fantastic champion, she will no doubt put up a hell of a chase to get back to where she wants to be.
Night One was a nice appetiser for TakeOver Night Two tonight, looking forward to seeing what happens.
Tick-Tock!
