NXT Takeover: New York Recap

Author: https://www.barclayscenter.com/events/detail/wwe-nxt-takeover-20190406

NXT Takeover: New York just finished and is already on course to not just be the best show of Wrestlemania Weekend, but possibly the best Takeover ever.

With Wrestlemania being a day away, WWE seems to have already outdone themselves, giving more pressure to the main roster to deliver and raising fan expectations.

NXT Takeover: New York Results:

  • NXT Tag Team Championship Match: The War Raiders (c) def. Aleister Black & Ricochet

  • NXT North American Championship Match: Velveteen Dream (c) def. Matt Riddle

  • Kushida recently was signed to NXT and appeared in the crowd

  • NXT United Kingdom Championship Match: Walter def. Pete Dunne (c) - Walter is the NEW NXT U.K. Champion

  • NXT Women’s Championship Fatal Four Way Match: Shayna Baszler (c) def. Kairi Sane, Io Shirai & Bianca Belair

  • 2 out of 3 Falls Match for the vacant NXT Championship: Johnny Gargano def. Adam Cole - Johnny Gargano is the new NXT Champion

Closing thoughts:

From bell to bell the show progressively got better and better, to a point where it felt like each wrestler was trying to outdo the other. NXT has proven again why, even though they are considered “developmental”, they are the best brand in WWE.

Give it a watch if you have not, give it a rewatch if you have.

It is just. That. Damn. Good.
