5 Surprising Moments from NXT Takeover: New Orleans

#3 Black wins the NXT title after a lot of interference

Vega's last attempt to change the outcome of the match didn't work too well

You know you are in for a good night when Almas versus Black is your third best match of the night. They put on a good show with only a fast-paced fifteen-minute match to work with. It was surprising to see the NXT Championship not be in the main event but it made sense with the emotional main event that would come later in the night.

The most surprising part of the NXT Championship was the physical involvement of Zelina Vega on multiple occasions.

Whether it was putting Almas’ foot on the rope, an attempted crossbody or multiple hurricanranas, Vega was physically involved in an Almas match like never before. It certainly wasn’t for lack of effort on her part that finally cost Cien Almas his NXT Championship. It will be fun to see where Aleister Black’s title reign goes from here.
