Buzzing for the North American title match. The last multi man ladder match in NXT for the inaugural champion was incredible.

I'm hoping Grimes wins it. Or to think outside the box a lil... Santos Escobar. He could lose the CW title to Maverick and then move onto the NA title.

A combo of established NXT talent and a couple of “newer” talent like a Grimes and/or Escobar could really lead to a fantastic match. We all will win with this.

That was a fantastic match, and that is how you push a “new” talent. Huge win over two of the best for Reed.

Oh man! They are doing the Rocky IV Apollo Creed fight with Kross/Dijak! That’s awesome!

The episode tonight was good, but the triple threat and the main event were awesome!

Dain-Lumis was solid. Good win for Lumis. It gives him some momentum heading into next week.
Breezango are just so fun. I really hope they become tag champs eventually.
Shotzi-Mercedes and Swerve-Escobar. Yes please. Also, Robert Stone is truly a national treasure.
The triple threat was fantastic. What a match. As I said earlier, great way to push Reed.
Thatcher-Lorcan was good. Again, more momentum for Thatcher heading into next week.
The main event was great, and the ending was freakin’ awesome. So well done by all parties.
Another really good episode, and these great triple threat matches should continue next week.

I was trying to order some stuff so I didn't get to pay attention to some of the matches I'll watch it again later tonight but that main event was terrific. I wasn't a big fan of Kross before he got to NXT but he looks like a star now.

Main event was awesome. Kross was obviously going to win, bit glad they made Dijakovic as strong as possible. If he does go straight into a programme with Lee for the title now at least there's a meaningful feud there.

I'm starting to really enjoy Bronson Reed, which for me is really saying something. I tend not to enjoy guys with that type of build in the ring.
Dain still does nothing for me, but it got my boy Lumis another W, so I'm a-ok with that outcome.
I loved the Breezango theme this week. Surprise the Canadian liked it lol.
As soon as I heard Keith Lee say he was letting the NA title go, my first thought was "Sweet can we get another one of those sick ladder matches". I guess they had similar thoughts, plus 5 hopefully all good triple threats leading into it.
Another solid episode, they seem to have a really good idea of where they're going with everything towards the takeover. Can't ask for more than that.

Lumis plays his character great
The triple threat was awesome. It's gonna be a fun ride to crown the next NA champ.
It's no words for how much I enjoy Robert Stone
I been looking forward to the main event and it didn't disappoint. Kross and Lee is gonna be incredible and now they have a great story to go with it. That ending was amazing.

Honestly, just put the belt on Kross now - that will legitimise him even further, and Lee can then move up to the main roster. Completely unrelated point, but It does irritate me, the way they pronounce Dijakovic's name. In Croatian, 'j' is pronounced as 'y', and the 'vic' is actually 'vitch'... so it really should be pronounced as 'Diyakovitch'.

My Grandpa immigrated to Canada from Serbia, so same language. It's such an easy language to pronounce too, there's no variation. Once you know what the letter sounds like, it always sounds like that. Essentially the whole language is written phonetically. Edit: I do know some of my family pronounced the j as an English j in the name just because they were in Canada and it was a way to make the name anglecized.

If they want to have them continue to feud and have Lee take the belt back that's cool, but not having Kross win now would be a thud. I had no real opinion on him one way or the other until this past week when I got completely sold on him. And so help me if Kushida isn't in that ladder match or at least on the TakeOver card. I'll probably just bitch about it, but it'll be loud!

I'll probably just bitch about it, but it'll be loud! Something has to be up with Kushida right? Another injury or he is choosing to stay home? Once he got back from injury he was being featured prominently again and almost certainly would still be involved with the feud w/ Drake and Fantasma.

Just watched this weeks episode.
Loomis vs Dain was cool for those who love side headlocks. 2 & 1/2 stars.
Breezango vs Ever Rise was 2 stars flat. I'm bummed their comedy act is on this show, it fits in better with the main roster. I really liked when NXT had one of the best tag divisions in the world and had top tier tag matches week in and week out.
Skipped the women's match.
Gargano vs Strong vs Reed was really good. I'm glad they're doing something with Jonah Rock. I think he has legit potential. 3 & 3/4 stars.
Thatcher vs Lorcan was good. I'm cool if they did a best of 7 series. 3 & 1/2 stars.
Main event was solid. Good Rocky reference even if it felt a little high school drama-ish. 3 1/2 stars.
My biggest complaint is that Lee gave up the NA title without defended both title on a TakeOver. If he's being booked as LIMITLESS, why literally limit him? It'd make storyline sense too if the Tick Tock Man is going to take the title off of him. It'd make so much sense if Lee defended the NA title to start the show and was at a disadvantage against the Tick Tock Man.
