#4 Big title change to close out a monumental NXT show

Tonight we witnessed the thirtieth edition of what has been an absolutely phenomenal PPV series, NXT TakeOver XXX. TakeOvers have been massive fan-favorite shows, with there hardly being any that have disappointed. Taking place a night before major WWE shows like WrestleMania and SummerSlam, NXT TakeOver has beat its main roster counterparts on several occasions.

NXT TakeOver XXX was a monumental show for the Black and Gold brand of WWE, which has emerged as a great entity and established itself as a proper brand alongside RAW and SmackDown. And how do you close out a monumental show? With a big title change!

Karrion Kross winning the NXT Championship tonight at the thirtieth edition of TakeOver is making headlines everywhere. Everyone is talking about this guy, and that's what WWE would want. We even saw WWE bring back Corey Graves as a commentator tonight, who also called the first-ever TakeOver show in May 2014. The show was a massive achievement for NXT, which was once considered a "developmental brand".
