What an explosive edition of NXT TakeOver, like we expected
#2 Worst: Not enough fresh matches
Ad
The matches were truly great, but we'd seen most of them before
The Undisputed ERA and Moustache Mountain have been at war right from the UK Tournament in London. The same can be said for Mae Young Classic finalists Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler. And Ciampa and Gargano have been competing right from the Cruiserweight Classic tournament.
While the performances over delivered, I felt that the card could have been fresher. It would have made the event even more enjoyable. I have a feeling the lack of fresh matches did adversely affect it.
