And Brooklyn waits for NXT. This past Saturday, NXT held its latest Takeover event with Takeover: Chicago II. The event saw Tommaso Ciampa even his series with Johnny Gargano in an insane street fight, plus the NXT Champion Aleister Black successfully defend his title against the monster Lars Sullivan. Since then, the NXT Tag Team Titles changed hands in the UK at the United Kingdom Championship Tournament event. With all that going on, it’s time to get back to something a little more normal.

You think this might go somewhere in the future?

Johnny Gargano mercilessly whips Tommaso Ciampa with his belt: NXT TakeOver: Chicago II

NXT was back at Full Sail University this week with a new batch of television tapings. These shows will cover the next three weeks and air on June 27, July 4 and July 11. They will also start setting up Takeover: Brooklyn IV, which takes place on August 18. One match for that show was set tonight and it seems that another is being heavily suggested. As always, note that some of these shows may be taped out of order. Here are the taping results, courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com:

June 27th Episode:

* NXT Champion Aleister Black opens the show with an in-ring promo but Tommaso Ciampa interrupts and taunts him from the stage. Ciampa threatens to take the NXT Title and end Black

* Kona Reeves defeated Max Humberto

* We saw video of Tyler Bate and Trent Seven winning the NXT Tag Team Titles in London on Tuesday

* Candice LeRae defeated Lacey Evans

* NXT Tag Team Champions Tyler Bate and Trent Seven vs. two local talents never happened as The Undisputed Era attacked them and destroyed them. Ricochet made his entrance to set up a six-man match

* The Undisputed Era (NXT North American Champion Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong) defeated Ricochet and NXT Tag Team Champions Trent Seven & Tyler Bate when Cole pinned Ricochet

July 4th Episode:

* Dakota Kai defeated Santana Garrett. NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler come to the ring after the match and cut a promo

* The Mighty (TM61) defeated Otis Dozovic in a Handicap Match and cut promos after the match

* Kairi Sane defeated Vanessa Borne

* The Velveteen Dream defeated Christopher Dijak

* Johnny Gargano defeated EC3 in a really good match

July 11th Episode:

* NXT North American Champion Adam Cole defeated Danny Burch

* Lacey Evans defeated Dakota Kai

* Kassius Ohno defeated a local enhancement talent

* Kairi Sane defeated Nikki Cross and Candice LeRae in a Triple Threat to become the new #1 contender to NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler at “Takeover: Brooklyn III” in August. Baszler was on commentary

* Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong defeated Trent Seven and Tyler Bate to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions. The finish saw Bate throw in the towel when Seven wouldn’t tap to O’Reilly

Opinion: Moving Ciampa forward towards the NXT Title makes the most sense right now. He and Gargano need a little bit of a break from each other and Ciampa being able to say that he got to the title first would be a great talking point. Throw in the idea of those two having a final blowoff match with Gargano FINALLY becoming NXT Champion and it’s a perfect idea. Other than that, it’s not exactly a surprise that the Undisputed Era got the titles back and that’s the right way to go, especially with the UK tapings earlier this week.
