Full Results From “NXT” Tapings *SPOILERS*

And Philadelphia waits for NXT. We’re coming up on “Takeover: Philadelphia” and that means we’re getting closer to the biggest time of the year. However, we still need a card to be set up for that show and we need something to be set up on the way there. Therefore, it was time for some more shows to be taped.

NXT held a taping at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. This is the site of the former “WCW Saturday Night” tapings for many years and has hosted “Ring of Honor” television in recent years. There were three episodes of “NXT” taped this week with the final episode being the go home show for “Takeover: Philadelphia”. Here are the results, courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com:

Opinion: We’re getting closer to the biggest time of the year and that means it’s time to start getting serious about these things. You could probably guess some of these matches on the way there but at least we’re getting to something that might be more interesting than some of the other stuff going on in wrestling.
