Best of NXT this week (31st January)

TakeOver Main Event highlight package

Almas retained his NXT Championship at TakeOver Philly

As mentioned, this NXT after TakeOver is usually a highlight show with a few TakeOver dark matches sprinkled in, and whilst this is cool to remind us of the fun a few days earlier, can sometimes come across as a bit thoughtless.

This package, however, was excellent. With the match being so good at TakeOver between Gargano and Almas, and even garnering a 5* review from Dave Meltzer, the package was able to highlight the many amazing parts of the match as well having the Asking Alexandria song over the top to give a sense of moment for the match.

The show also featured an aftermath shot of Tommaso Ciampa, leaving the arena and ignoring all the journalists trying to get a statement from him after attacking Gargano.
