WWE NXT TakeOver in Your House

  • North American and NXT Tag Team Championships (MSK & Bronson Reed vs. Legado del Fantasma): 7/7. Excellent tag teaming, cool moves, great finish. Just an all round fantastic match.
  • Singles (Mercedes Martinez vs. Xia Li): 5/7. Some good moments but a bit underwhelming overall. Looks like this story is still building though. And I'm still waiting to see if Mei Ying has any kind of supernatural powers.
  • Million Dollar Championship Ladder Match (LA Knight vs. Cameron Grimes): 5/7. Some good bits, but it's just so frustrating watching them pretend they can't climb a ladder. For one moment I thought Grimes was going to get the belt by climbing the scaffold instead of a ladder and if he'd done that it would have redeemed the whole thing, but he didn't.
  • NXT Women's Championship (Ember Moon vs. Raquel Gonzales): 6/7. Solid match. Some shenanigans from Dakota Kai, but not too much, and obviously this faction feud has more room to continue.
  • NXT Championship Fatal Five-way (Johnny Gargano vs. Kyle O'Reilly vs. Pete Dunn vs. Adam Cole vs. Karrion Kross): 6/7. Started slow but had some great combos and an excellent finish.
Overall Rating: 6/7. No real surprises but every match was entertaining and I'm interested in most of the stories going on. Note: I will never care about Cameron Grimes.
