Best and worst of NXT TakeOver: Wargames II

#3 Worst: Two titles not defended

Has the North American Championship lost some of its sheen, because of the way it's been booked?

Hey, maybe I'm nitpicking after what has been a great show from beginning to end. But I look at Shinsuke Nakamura and the US Champion before I say this to you. I think that the North American Championship stands a chance of becoming as irrelevant as the US Title is. This is because it's almost become an afterthought.

The Tag Team Championships have been booked a lot better of course, but I would have still liked to have seen them defended on the show. Anything that is not in the public eye at the moment stands the risk of losing some of its sheen.

Maybe Ricochet moves on to a new challenger after Adam Cole. Maybe Adam Cole moves on to Ciampa?

Some fresh feuds are the need of the hour.
