Eric Young vs. Chris Atkins
The numbers game caught up with Atkins from the word go, as he was distracted by Alexander Wolfe immediately. Young seized the advantage but was taken down by a shoulder tackle from Atkins. Young regained the advantage pummeling relentlessly. Each hit was punctuated by a ‘ten’ chant, mocking his Takeover opponent Tye Dillinger.
A scary looking dragon sleeper from the second rope completely annihilated Atkins. An elbow from the middle rope followed, and Young ended with a modification of his finisher to pick up the win.
Result: Eric Young def. Chris Atkins
Young cut a promo shortly after the match was done, informing Dillinger that he had made the wrong choice. Killian Dain unleashed his fury on Atkins.
We saw a video package of a recap from the TM-61 and The Revival match, informing us that Shane Throne’s supposed kayfabe injury was, in fact, real. A subsequent video package advertising the Bobby Roode vs. Shinsuke Nakamura match got us excited for the Takeover main event.
We went into commercial break after being informed that the four women involved in the NXT Women's Championship match at NXT Takeover: San Antonio would face off in the closing segment.
