It’s time for the fallout show from Friday with a show taped prior to the show we’re recapping. Tonight we’re looking at a bunch of clips from Takeover: new York plus a trio of matches that took place before the show went on the air. These shows are usually very light and there’s no reason to believe that this should be any different. Let’s get to it.
A long recap package of Takeover opens things up.
Opening sequence, now with a new theme song.
Aliyah vs. Candice LeRae
Vanessa Borne is in Aliyah’s corner. Aliyah takes her to the mat and gets in some forearms to the back but Candice is right back up with an armdrag. A knee in the corner slows Candice down and Aliyah demands that New York cheers for her. Vanessa offers a distraction and Aliyah gets in a kick to the face to take over. The chinlock doesn’t work for Aliyah as Candice takes her down and hits a step up backsplash. A neckbreaker into a Lionsault (with Candice possibly tweaking her knee) finishes Aliyah at 4:12.
Result: Candice LeRae b. Aliyah – Lionsault (4:12)
We look at Velveteen Dream vs. Matt Riddle with Dream retaining the title in a bit of an upset.
Dream talks about his win as Buddy Murphy walks by. Dream says that’s someone who couldn’t handle the spotlight at Wrestlemania. Murphy doesn’t like that so Dream asks where his title is.
Video on the War Raiders retaining the Tag Team Titles against Ricochet and Aleister Black in what was likely Ricochet and Black’s NXT farewell.
We look at Kushida signing with NXT.
Jaxson Ryker vs. Danny Burch
Steve Cutler, Wesley Blake and Oney Lorcan are at ringside. Burch takes him straight down for two and hammers away in the corner with right hands and clotheslines. Ryker pulls him off the middle rope and blasts Burch in the face with an elbow. A middle rope headbutt gets two but Burch is right back with a forearm. The other Sons offer a distraction so Lorcan takes care of them, leaving Burch to walk into the Widowmaker to give Ryker the pin at 3:10.
Result: Jaxson Ryker b. Danny Burch – Widowmaker (3:10)
We look at the four way Women’s Title match at Takeover with Shayna Baszler retaining.
Baszler says she’s running out of competition and she’s keeping the title forever.
We look at Pete Dunne FINALLY losing the United Kingdom Title to Walter.
Pete says there will be a rematch.
We look back at Johnny Gargano vs. Adam Cole in a 2/3 falls match with Johnny overcoming the odds and becoming the NXT Champion after chasing the title for over a year.
The Undisputed Era isn’t happy with the loss with Roderick Strong and Adam Cole getting in an argument. Cole orders the camera shut off.
Street Profits vs. Fabian Aichner/Marcel Barthel
Aichner knocks Dawkins off the apron to start and drives Ford into the wrong corner. Ford is fine enough to dropkick both of them down at once but Barthel kicks him in the face. Barthel has to pull Ford back from a tag and it’s a spinebuster from Aichner to keep him in early trouble.
As you might have guessed, Ford crawls over for the tag a few seconds later and it’s Dawkins cleaning house. A spinning splash in the corner connects but a Doomsday Device is broken up. One heck of a moonsault gives Aichner two on Ford but Dawkins spears Aichner down to break up a powerbomb. The Doomsday Blockbuster finishes Barthel at 6:02.
Result: Street Profits b. Fabian Aichner/Marcel Barthel – Doomsday Blockbuster to Barthel (6:02)
Results
Candice LeRae b. Aliyah – Lionsault
Jackson Ryker b. Danny Burch – Widowmaker
Street Profits b. Fabian Aichner/Marcel Barthel – Doomsday Blockbuster to Barthel
