It was a good show, not great. Tag match was pretty neat
Joe/Nakamura was ok. it had a cold built and didn't get going for some reason. Joe shouldn't have lost the title this soon. He should be the monster heel that nobody beats, but he has lost lot of times to Balor and now Nakamura wins on his first attempt. I know NXT needs a 'face of the brand', but Joe didn't have a long run with the belt.

Finally made it through after many, many technical issues.
Man those top two matches were amazing. Injuries are never a great thing for the person injured but man, Joe returning from a broken jaw to hunt down Nakamura and his title sounds amazing if time allows.
Bayley/Asuka was simply awesome. Great story told and the person who takes down Asuka (guessing Ember at this point) will have a huge moment.
No Way Jose and Cien looked great despite losing. Probably Cien's best showing. Roode's entrance was good but that was about it and Aries isn't even vanilla, he's unflavored mush.
Ember, well, she debuted and has a finish. Don't get me wrong, okay match but not at all a good debut.
Tag title match, I want more. It is 1-1 and probably shouldn't be in kayfabe. They worked so well. Just one more.

I just finished watching the show. I had to watch it on a bit of a delay due to prior commitments. Holy shit that was an awesome show. Allow me to do a quick rundown.
The first few matches really didn't do much for me. Ember Moon was impressive. Roode was glorious. That was about it. Even the tag team match, which was very good, still kinda bored me. It all was filler for the two matches that made the show - Asuka vs. Bailey and Nakamura vs. Samoa Joe.
Bailey vs. Asuka was absolutely tremendous. I liked this match better than Sasha vs Bailey at Barclays last year, and I didn't think that was possible. Asuka's kicks look absolutely brutal. I really really really really really really really really really really really really wish Asuka had a quick staredown with Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks after the match. That was a missed opportunity, imo. This match was a 10/10 though. I almost teared up at the end as Bailey exited the arena.
So then you follow that all up with this holy ****ing shit incredible entrance by Shinsuke Nakamura. Since his NXT debut, I dreamed of them using a live violinist to play during Nakamura's entrance, and wow that turned out way better than I expected. Goosebumps. I loved the bit of physicality before the official introductions. They had to start this match slow to comedown from all the opening excitement, but as this match got going it got really good. Joe went into Submission Machine mode which we haven't seen enough of. Great match. It looked like Joe got hurt a bit at the end. It was physical, that's for sure.

My impressions live was the show was good but it wasn't great which is the standards of Takeover. Asuka vs Bayley and the tag matches delivered, also that Roode entrance

One other thing, I really wish they had held off on Itami and had that tonight be his surprise return. I think the pop for him walking out and hitting GTS on Aries would have been even more insane if he hadn't been on TV already.

There are a couple things I was left wondering -
Why didn't Itami have a match on the show?
And where was Tye Dillenger? Is he hurt or something?
Was Izzy and her dad only ringside for Bailey's match?
