    The closing segment was one of the best things NXT has produced. A big chaotic brawl is rarely as interesting as that. Even Raw's "pull apart brawls" used to be pretty cool but now seem a little paint-by-numbers. The focus on the title picture, Nikki running out like a spastic harbinger, Black wrecking the guards and Lars (with some of the best looking Black Masses he has pulled off yet), the cameraman falling over, and the dramatic reveal. Just fantastic from top to bottom! Rarely is so much thought put into that much chaos, resulting in a dynamic segment that is both impactful and informs several storylines at once.

    Shayna Baszler defeated Kairi Sane to recapture the NXT Women's Championship last night at Evolution. Unless I'm mistaken, NXT has taped all of it's episodes until Survivor Series Weekend. Anyone catching the logistical problem this presents? Curious to see how they handle it, but more excited to see Kairi/Baszler V. Gotta be a gimmick match, yeah?

    I do not recall the spoilers for the tapings, but it isn't really an issue. The matches taped were probably without Baszler/Sane, and they'll use backstage stuff (not taped during the taping) to make the title match. When you consider the likely match is Baszler/Sane with a gimmick (and Io Shirai in Kairi's corner), they don't need anything in-ring.

    It's not even the first time this happened. Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor at a Live Event in Lowell, MA after a taping. They just mentioned it the first TV after the event (commentary is often added post-taping), and showed a lot of it the following week. They will do the same here, albeit they likely won't air the match, as it is already available on the Network.

    They have the same issue with the Street Prophets and Fabian Aichner. They're the EVOLVE Tag Champs and EVOLVE Champion now, and won't have the belts for next few weeks TV.

    After last night and some announcements today, much of the TakeOver: WarGames card has been set.

    NXT Championship - Tommaso Ciampa vs. the Velveteen Dream

    WarGames - Pete Dunne, Ricochet & the War Raiders vs. the Undisputed Era

    Singles Match - Aleister Black vs. Johnny Gargano

    There's talk that a Baszler vs. Sane match is scheduled but Baszler injured her ankle at Evolution and is set to be re-evaluated within the next few days. Initial reports stated that was walking on crutches after Evolution but that the crutches were precautionary and that she's not expected to miss much, if any, time.

    While it hasn't been announced, you can also pretty much bet that Matt Riddle vs. Kassius Ohno will be added to the card.

    I'm only just now realizing that Jackson Ryker is Gunner from TNA.

    There are two shows left before Takeover and after last week’s show, we now have the big namesake match set up. There should be some interesting things before we get there as the card needs to be pushed hard as we head towards Los Angeles. Tonight we have Lars Sullivan wanting to destroy Velveteen Dream for daring to take a step towards the NXT Title. Let’s get to it.

    It’s the go home show for Takeover: WarGames II and the card seems to be mostly set. This time around there might only be four matches, but one of them will be 2/3 falls and another is WarGames so things should be fine. Tonight is the big final push towards the show and that should make for a fun show. Let’s get to it.

    After everything that went down on Saturday, it’s time for a little breather. That tends to be the best thing that you can get the week after Takeover and that’s even better the day before a holiday. There are some matches from before Saturday’s Takeover, which are often pretty entertaining in their own right. Let’s get to it.

    NXT UK is already set to have its first TakeOver event on January 12, 2019 in Blackpool, England.

    While it feels too soon for the brand to have its first big show, it could still be a huge success. Some are okay with NXT UK airing two episodes per week, some aren't but I don't know if they'll continue airing two episodes once everything is all caught up with the tapings. For instance, the finals of the NXT UK Woman's Championship tournament are set to air during one of this week's episodes and said match was part of tapings that took place just over three months ago. There should be another set of tapings soon that will air on a basis similar to the original NXT now that they've got everything set up for NXT UK television.

    There'll probably be a UK and UK Women's Championship match and possibly the start of the NXT UK Tag Team Championship tournament, or however they're going to decide the inaugural champions. My initial feeling is that this won't be on the same level as we've become accustomed to in regards to TakeOver events from NXT OG, but it'll be another strong step in the right direction for the brand.

    It’s a special show this week as the talent was given a week off from tapings with this show filmed before Takeover: WarGames II. As usual, NXT knows how to set things up in advance and odds are we’ll have a good night of wrestling, even if we don’t have a lot of angle advancement to look forward to. Let’s get to it.
