NXT Takeover: Orlando

Aleister Black vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas       Singles match

Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, No Way Jose, and Ruby Riot vs. SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain and Nikki Cross) Eight-person mixed tag team match

The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) (c) (with Paul Ellering) vs. #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) vs. The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) 3 Way Dance Tag Team Match for the NXT Tag Team Championship

Asuka (c) vs Ember Moon Singles match for the NXT Women's Championship

Bobby Roode (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura Singles match for the NXT Championship


A decent, if not incredible card. I'd expect real quality from the three title matches. Real shame that TM61 are away for this big event due to Thorne's injury - they had been apparently set to feud with The Revival - but what it may give us is a chance to see The Authors of Pain mix with two of the best tag teams in the world, which should up the match quality.

You would presume that Aleister Black (once Tommy End) will be picking up the win, and then The Authors of Pain also would be favourites. I think SAnitY are the favourites for theirs, but depends on how they feel about the futures of each member of the opposing team.

There is more intrigue in the top two matches. Ember Moon seemed to have some momentum behind her, and with every woman on the Mania card except NIKKIIIIIII competing for a title, you can see why a shake up and an Asuka debut could be beckoning. That and the fact she is the most talented female wrestler they have (and some might feel the most talented overall.)

With Roode and Nakamura, you could see reasons for any result (within sane - not-Russo - reasoning). Roode win so Nak can move up, which is continually rumoured but even stronger with the post-Mania (and some cling on to hope he may debut during) debut/return/shock season. Equally, they are struggling for major talent down there, and might feel they need to keep hold of Shinsuke.

Sanity attack No Way Jose at Axxess to leave their opponents a man short.

Kassius Ohno is the surprise replacement

Tag match was as incredible as expected. AoP put over in a big way.

Tag match was match of the night. Wonderful to watch.

Drew and Kassius to go into main event scene with Roode? Roddy get some movement there too?

Agree with comments that the tag match was fantastic - came across like it could be a finale for both Revival/DIY... AoP remaining and potentially into a holding pattern of feuds against paired established singles stars for a while until TM61 return?

Thought the main event was fine and not too much more than that. I am hoping that on the main roster someone like AJ can really bring out a compelling feud with Nakamura as it hasn't really happened with Roode.

Naka Roode havent really clicked. Their mathes have been fine but havent blown me away like Naka/Zayn or Naka/Joe.

Galloway has to go straight into the main event scene. With him, Roode, Ohno, Strong and possibly Eric Young its looking decent.

Anyone else think Asuka wont drop the belt before she gets called up? Just have her drop it like Paige and keep her unbeaten going onto the main roster?

Seems like Asuka might be set to flourish as a heel. She's always been arrogant and weird, but she was too good to dislike. Ember was really good. Got to think Asuka will be called up soon as WWE are gonna have a lot more female talent to work with if they get the tournament right

I think she'll beat the streak first before she drops the belt.
