This show looked back and looked ahead as well!
This show looked back and looked ahead as well!

The fallout show after a Takeover is always a tricky one to enjoy, because while not many storylines are advanced, it happens in front of a packed Takeover crowd. However, the focal point of such special shows is to take a look back at the Takeover, and reliving the special moments.

That being said, there was much that happened in this particular episode and we bring you the highlights.

The show began with a look back at the highlights of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. No Way Jose entered the arena and began the Conga Line, dancing with his fans. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he was blindsided by the gigantic and monstrous, Lars Sullivan, a man who's been destroying his own tag team partners. For those who don't know, Lars Sullivan is considered by many as the next Brock Lesnar.

From outside the ring, to within, Sullivan rained punishment upon No Way Jose. After dismantling No Way Jose, Sullivan just left the arena like nothing happened. What a start to the proceedings!

Next. there was footage from the opening contest of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III between Johnny Gargano and Andrade 'Cien' Almas, where the latter picked up the win. Gargano was interviewed backstage where he was asked if the distraction caused him to lose.

Gargano did not make any excuses, and confessed that he needed to be better, as the road to mediocrity is paved with excuses. He promised his friends and supporters that it was far from the end for the underdog babyface.

We saw footage from Asuka's battle with Ember Moon, where the former just escaped the latter. Afterwards, Asuka was at a press conference where she said how much better she was compared to Ember Moon and seemed ready for whatever challenge she would face.

Unfortunately, Ranallo reported about her real life injury soon after, where her broken collarbone will keep her out of action for six to eight weeks. Thankfully, it was capped off with a positive tweet from Asuka, promising her return.

Teammates Pete Dunne and Wolfgang were backstage and seemed more at each other's throats, than on the same page, going into the main event of the night.


Peyton Royce vs. Sarah Logan

The Iconic Duo were definitely over as they made their way to the ring; Sarah Logan, not as much. The two women exchanged head locks, before Royce knocked Logan down with a shoulder tackle.

Following a drop toe hold, Logan seized the advantage back only for a moment, before a spinning heel kick from Royce knocked Logan to the floor.

Royce showed immense flexibility as she got her boots up to Logan's throat, obstructing her breathing. Ranallo called this move the 'Corner Sole Choke'. Clubbing blows, a knee to Logan's face and some innovative submissions, Royce was truly in control.

Logan seized back her control with a German Suplex, some big chops and a shoulder tackle, rallying the crowd behind her. Royce kicked out of a front drop kick.

Kay prevented Logan from delivering yet another suplex, and after an exchange of offense, Royce delivered a Fisherman's Suplex, to pick up the win.

We came back from commercial to see highlights from SAnitY's big title win against the Authors of Pain, with interference from Fish and O'Reilly.

Next, we saw footage from the big NXT Championship match between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Roode, the one which led to the crowning of a brand new NXT Champion. The one that saw the formation of the ROH Faction on NXT and the debut of Adam Cole.

Bobby Roode refused to do a post match interview, but was interrupted by Roderick Strong, his arch nemesis, who blew him a kiss. Footage of his debut from SmackDown Live was played next and NXT attempted to interview him again, and this time they were far more successful.

Roode admitted that despite his call up, he was still going to be a part of NXT, first to take care of Strong and second, to regain his NXT Championship.

We saw some footage of Aleister Black and Hideo Itami from Takeover: Brooklyn, and the cameras tried to get a quote from the man, to no avail.

Tyler Bate & Trent Seven vs Pete Dunne & Wolfgang

The main event was great, as always!
The UK Tournament participants tore it up again!

The UK Tournament combatants were over as they made their way down to the ring, especially the UK Champion Pete Dunne, who returned to WWE TV for the first time since NXT Takeover: Chicago, 3 months ago. The old rivals Dunne and Bate squared off, trading an impressive array of holds, with the crowd chanting 'UK' with all their energy. We saw a mat wrestling clinic from the men, as neither would gain the upper hand on the other.

Bate delivered a drop kick and tagged in his partner Trent Seven, who executed a flawless shoulder drop on Pete Dunne. Quick tags followed, but the wily Pete Dunne delivered a forearm smash to Seven's face, gaining the upper hand in this massive contest.

Wolfgang was tagged in, but he suffered some huge chops and a DDT from Trent Seven. A distraction from Dunne allowed Wolfgang to turn the tables on Seven. Dunne was tagged in and he delivered punishment to the babyface.

Racking him into various torturous submission moves, Seven looked in pain. Wolfgang was tagged in and he continued the assault, but Seven seized the advantage with a snap dragon suplex immediately. Bate was tagged in and he made the ultimate babyface comeback, showing impressive strength.

He lifted Dunne up for the Airplane spin as well. Wolfgang broke up the three count, and all the men entered the fray then. Bate delivered his finisher on Dunne, but he wasn't the legal man at that point. This allowed Wolfgang to deliver his high flying finishing move and pick up the big win.
