#4 Best/Worst - No Major Surprises at NXT TakeOver: WarGames
Trending
NXT TakeOver: WarGames had a lot of pressure to deliver after what was a 'game-changing' show of AEW last week that saw some massive surprises. The arrival of Sting and the teased cross-promotional storyline between AEW and IMPACT Wrestling had everyone talking about it.
NXT TakeOver: WarGames had its fair share of surprises as well. We saw Shotzi Blackheart reveal her new and improved tank at the beginning of the show. Later, Austin Theory was revealed as the 'ghost face' who helped Johnny Gargano win the NXT North American Championship. The biggest one of the night was the return teaser of former NXT Champion Karrion Kross, who has been out of action since suffering a shoulder injury at TakeOver: XXX and now looks set to be returning to the Black and Gold brand soon.
But none of these surprises were even close to being compared to the ones we saw on AEW last week. The expectations were really high and that's probably the reason why some fans were left a little disappointed to not see a major twist at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. Nonetheless, the show was really amazing. It was just really tough for them to one-up AEW after that incredible 'Winter is Coming' show.
