Went back and watched the main event again this morning and I actually liked it more on second viewing. I think going into it I was expecting more mat stuff but that made no sense given the storyline and stipulation. The storytelling and atmosphere was off the charts. So personal. It was such a natural next chapter from what's come before it. It deserves the whole hog!
Personal match ratings;
UE vs. Lorcan & Burch - 4.5 stars Dream vs. Ricochet- 4.25 stars Shayna vs. Nikki- 3 stars Black vs. Sullivan - 3.5 stars Gargano vs. Ciampa - 5 stars
A fantastic Takeover but probably the least best out of the last 4. We are living in a golden age of NXT here folks. Appreciate it while you can.

Just to tell you how good Takeover was, they were in Chicago with a hot crowd and I didn't hear ONE CM Punk chant. That's gotta be the first time since Punk left that we didn't get a chant. At least partially it’s because he’s gotten his ass handed to him in UFC though. Any CM Punk chant is going to get shutdown with the quickness anymore.

One guy in the section behind me tried and was shot down with an 0-2 chant. Shut up real quick. Hell, a beach ball was maimed within seconds to a "beach balls suck" chant from my section.

Wait til Roman/Jinder They might, but chanting for Punk right now is just asking to get shut down in hilarious fashion. I expect Chicago to be more creative than that tonight. I’m hoping for something Corey Graves related.

If we don't hear at least one CM Punk chant tonight (Roman/Jinder) I'll be very surprised.

That guy shouting to Campia that he was the devil made me so happy
Decent takeover. Women’s title match and NXT title match were weak points but even then I wouldn’t say they were bad, just couldn’t match to the others
That Black Mass miss though, oft that was a bad un

Tag match was astounding, arguably the full 5 Stars. The storytelling in Gargano vs Ciampa was sublime, watching him slowly become everything he hates and it ends up costing him the match. Velveteen Dream is just flat out special. He and Ricochet were brilliant.
Shayna has had better matches, but tbh I dont care for Nikki Cross. Her "crazy" is horrifically unconvincing. Lars vs Black was good but a bit of a comedown considering Blacks other matches recently. Lars is a brilliant big guy though.
