It is a tie between this match and the tag match on which was better as both were early MOTY caliber matches
Ricochet looked like a f***ing star by the end of this meanwhile Gargano continues his story on doing anything and everything to win and cemented his heel turn in full tonight

Great match, they both elevated through it. The best part about it is that I didn't know who was going to win. Maybe this will set up Ricochet's rise to the NXT Title now that he doesn't have a belt but either way they put on my favorite match of the night.

Great f***ing match! Just so amazing what Ricochet can do and Johnny really making a case for being the best wrestler in the World right now.

Gargano can really do no wrong at Takeover.
He’s the real “Big Match John”

He's no doubt the king of PPVs in WWE in general

I suggested Adam Cole getting a shot at Ciampa too and wouldn't rule him out but Ricochet is coming for the NXT title sooner than later

Sold less than an Avon lady with leprosy.
Good stuff though.

I treat Takeover like I do NJPW and as long as the match is flowing I can live with it as long as it isn't too crazy

Also, the brainbuster onto concrete followed by the Slingshot DDT did end the match as it should’ve had.

It started pretty slowly, but it steadily picked up an escalated until the finish.
It's also intriguing how they portrayed Johnny in this match. He's not completely gone yet, he still hesitated to do that hanging DDT that likely would have injured Ricochet...
The climax of this saga is coming and I can't wait to see it...

I think this Takeover, from start to finish, is the show I would use as an introduction to modern pro wrestling for a non-fan.

He's finally given all in to his urges which helped him capture NXT gold

Ricochet stealing his submission hold also put him over the edge.

The exchange at the beginning was brilliant and several of Ricochets landing on his feet bits. The best part of the match in my mind was Johnny opting not to DDT Ricochet on the piss concrete but resorting to it later because he couldn't beat him cleanly.
Great match and I'm going to watch it again later with friends who haven't seen it yet.

Gargano keeping his MVP run alive with this one. Absolute banger from these two.

I can't believe it was only 24 minutes long. They packed like a 40 minute match into those 24 minutes. The pace was breathtaking. An absolutely stellar match.
