Best and Worst of NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia

#3 Best: Ringside appearances

War Machine should bolster the NXT tag team division

NXT has been on a hiring spree and it was great to see some of the names that we know they've signed at ringside. We've already mentioned Mrs. Gargano, Candice LeRae. War Machine, the tag team we know so well from NJPW and ROH was spotted at ringside too. As was Ricochet, one of the best high-flyers in the industry.

The biggest surprise of the night was none other than Dixie Carter's nephew (in kayfabe)- EC3. He got the biggest pop of the evening and could be a valuable edition to the NXT roster.
