Dunne, Gargs and KOR team up on Kross but he lands his finisher on KOR. Of course, as Kross holds the title after laying everyone out, Adam Cole shows up to blindside him. At least the others went at him head on. I love Cole too but all their talk isn't making them seem as tough.

Everyone can say what they want, but Kross vs. Balor 1 and 2 were both bangers. KOR gets in the ring and slaps Kross. He immediately decks KOR. The others get in the ring before Kross literally throws them all over the place, including security.

Gargano says Kross "isn't the most graceful in the ring" and out comes Peter Doone to say he's tired of the talk. Adam Cole then appears via satellite like the Rock. He calls Kross the biggest moron in the ring.

KOR says Kross is insecure and compensating because he's afraid someone like him will take the title from him. Out next is Johnny Gargs and his headband on the announce table.

Back in the ring and Willy Regal is telling Karrion Kross that Kross doesn't run things in NXT. Kross grabs the mic from Willy's hands and says Regal hasn't been in control of anything lately. Out comes KOR.

Karrion Kross cuts a brief promo before the NXT Championship face-off. He says now is the opportunity to take him out instead of waiting for Sunday.

.@DakotaKai_WWE & @RaquelWWE are in equal parts disbelief.

What will it take to put away @WWEEmberMoon?! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/4AfNFO5ZZS

Gonzo checks on Kai but Moon comes in and decks her. Gonzo gets the upper hand and attempts her chokeslam but Moon turns it into another stunner variation. She hits an Eclipse on the Champ before doing the requisite title hoist.

Kai goes for Go To Kick but Ember counters it into a Power Bomb for another near fall. Kai rolls out and is consoled by Gonzo. Gonzo tries to kick Moon with the ref's back turned but Ember moves. She then lands a Suicide Dive on both women outside the ring. She tosses Kai back into the ring but Gonzo kicks her off the top rope before Ember can set up the Eclipse.
Result: Ember Moon defeats Dakota Kai by DQ.

Kai turns the tide and gets a near fall. Gonzo is going to factor into things during or after the match. Kai lands some quick kicks to Moon's head and then some other innovative kicks. She does her semi-circle run across the ring and kicks Moon in the moosh. Near fall.

Moon lands some kicks and then a Somersault Stunner. Innovative offense.

Moon lands some offense including a jumping Codebreaker for a two count.

Kai turns the tables and slides Moon's head into the ring post before we go to break.

Moon gets in some offense and gets a two count.

After some back-and-forth, Kai gets control and lands a few corner kicks for a near fall.

Unfinished business. 👀 #WWENXT @shirai_io @RaquelWWE @poppy @DakotaKai_WWE pic.twitter.com/lubaJ4YD6Z

At least Raquel is wearing the title instead of holding it weirdly like she normally does. The Champ and Kai have a staredown with Shirai/Poppy prior to heading out to the ring.

Candice LeRae comes out to chastise Poppy for "taking Indi's man" among other things. She says that she wants to fight her the easy way or the hard way. Poppy comes out to say she doesn't wrestle but she knows someone who does, meaning Io Shirai.

Grey lands a neck breaker and some other moves before going for a Killswitch. Drake counters out and kicks him while also knocking Jiro off the ring apron. They hit Ticket to Mayhem for the win.
Result: GYV defeats Ikemen Jiro and August Grey by pin.

GYV continues to work Jiro's left leg as Timmy Thatcher and Tommy Ciamps come out with chairs to watch. The distraction allows Jiro to tag in Grey.

This Sunday at #NXTTakeOver, @CGrimesWWE & @LAKnightWWE will climb the ladder for THIS!

The Million Dollar Title is BACK! 🤑 🤑 🤑 #WWENXT @MDMTedDiBiase pic.twitter.com/IPTV8WorG9

Grey and Jiro get in a few impressive moves but Gibson decks them both. He tags in James "Don't Call Me Tim" Drake. Drake works on Jiro's leg.

If you haven't seen Jiro, he has a lot of jacket-based offense.

Up next we have GYV vs. August Grey and his headband and Ikemen Jiro.

EverRise will be hosting the TakeOver Pre-Pre Show.

We go backstage to see security and Willy Regal standing between Karrion Kross and Kyle O'Reilly. Who will Adam Cole be fighting so that security can break him and that person up?

DiBiase brings back the Million Dollar Championship. NXT keeps adding titles while AEW needs at least one more. Who will haul down the Million Dollar title?

We are @TripleH. @TripleH is us. #WeAreNXT 😲

If Grimes is a Hillbilly would that make AJ Styles a HillWilliam?

DiBiase says that they both need to "climb the ladder of success" at TakeOver.

Knight and Grimes arrive at the CWC at the same time and argue all the way to the Gorilla position. Knight attempts to lock Grimes in a hallway as his music hits. Grimes cuts him off and they look like the M & Ms from the ads.

Indi Hartwell runs into the scene and sees the two hugging. She runs off in disbelief like it was written in the 80s for a John Hughes movie.

Poppy is backstage with Willy Regal and Papa Trips to drop her NXT music. As she's talking with the gramps, Dexter Lumis comes up and hands her a picture of her he has drawn. She thanks him and the two hug.

Ted DiBiase is shown heading to the ring and he's flanked by two men, presumably recruits from the WWE PC, unless they're all busy being fans or security lol.

Breezango addresses how WALTER wants Fabian and Marcel to avenge their title loss to Breezango. Dango says WALTER has been the champion of Germany for nine years and is corrected by Breezey.

Li gets in a few licks but Martinez boots her in the face. Martinez takes on someone who isn't given a name and she ends it quick with an Air Raid Crash.
Result: Mercedes Martinez defeats an unnamed opponent.

Up next we get Mercedes Martinez attempting to come out to the ring but Xia Li sneak attacks her.

After seeing LA Knight's pad, we get a glimpse into Cameron Grimes' house. He does a cannonball into his pool and then does a Dumb and Dumber by giving the masseuse a massage. He drives off TO THE MOOOOOOOOON.

Poppy has arrived to the building and Candice LeRae takes exception that they're not being talked about. Indi goes right back to Dexter Lumis and teenie movies from the 80s.

Speed meets strength as Hit Row's @swerveconfident battles Killian Dain on #WWENXT, right now on @USA_Network! pic.twitter.com/LY7wiDHPUl

Dain gets the upper hand for a spell and hits a Senton. Hit Row distracts Dain as he tries to go to the top rope. Drake Maverick lands a move on Adonis and Top Dolla beats on Maverick. With Dain distracted, Swerve hits a running kick in the corner for the win.
Result: Swerve Scott defeats Killian Dain by pin.

Swerve dances on the ropes and evades Dain but gets hit with a flying crossbody for his efforts. Near fall. Swerve hits his patented kick for another near fall.
