I thought Nakamura was done off the blue thunder bomb. He kicked out at like the last possible moment.

When was the last time a blue thunder bomb caused a true near fall?
On the second viewing...the match is still ****ing amazing.

I don't watch very much NXT anymore aside from specials, and I wasn't expecting the match to end after that move there, but it had me for a second.
10/10 match GOAT MOTY AINEC would watch again

Standing O for Bayley, Asuka, Finn, and Joe.
Having to follow that match was unfair almost. All 4 came out and brought everything that had and kept the show going on high octane. So easy for performers after a 5 star show stealing match to falter. These 4 didn't.
Edit: Alvarez speaking some truth.

Bayley is the biggest babyface in the company. She got Asuka booed for the first time since she arrived.

why is my name here?
Totally forgot to mention this but i thought nakramura was done after he landed on his head from the (suplex?) zayn gave him. Looked nasty.

Finally got everyone out of my house after watching the show, just amazing, had some hardcore fans over who loved it, some who used to watch and loved it, just a great night.
Nakamura! Guy is the best, I was just happy I got to watch him wrestle and it wasn't 4 in the morning. It's amazing we had Nakamura/AJ in the Tokyo Dome in January and now we got them on our tv's every week.
She had to eventually lose it, but still kind of sad to see Bayley lose the title, but happy for Asuka, kicking machine.
Takeover's are great because it's almost like the old days where you never know who is going to be in the crowd, Ibushi and Roode, great pops.
Main event, I understood the stoppages, wish they got the bleeding under control quicker, but I'm not going to get mad with a cut close to the eye and them being careful.
What a night!

Also take note. The entire card ended with squeaky clean finishes. This is how you get people over.

So many being upset by Bayley's lose proves how great a character she is. Overall I think a loss here is best for her. Super Cena booking could of caused people to eventually sour on her. She came off strong but still human which is where she needs to be.
Bit of a booking problem with the new champ though. If Bayley is going to the main roster, Asuka really doesn't have a legit challenger in NXT right now. I don't buy anyone outside of Bayley beating Asuka clean right now.

Will be interesting, figure Bayley will get her rematch at the June Takeover at Full Sail, but where do they go for the big women's NXT match in Brooklyn in August?
I'm honestly hoping we don't get Bayley on Raw Monday, let her build the rematch with Asuka for June at Full Sail, give her the great goodbye after she loses with Izzy and that crowd, and then set up Bayley/Sasha at Summer Slam.
Probably not even worth speculating, so much will happen, it's only April.

So much more respect for Joe. His not impressed look to Finn's Leatherface entrance is amazing.
Want a guy that you can believe can beat Brock clean? Samoa ****ing Joe.
Give me a Cena open challenge with Joe coming up kicking his ass NOW.
Edit: An insane bloody Joe screaming after a chop and launching Finn into a security guard was one of the spots of the night. Weird match overall as the nasty cut (they really did need to tend to it. That was a bad cut, close enough to potentially call the match) both enhanced and hurt the match at the same time.

I love it, Maggle. I ****ing love it.
That was so incredibly amazing. Wrestlemania is in so much trouble because there is ZERO chance that it even comes close to that masterpiece.

All the post match interviews on the WWE Youtube channel are worth watching, short, but everyone has the look they gave it everything they had tonight.
Bayley saying she let the little kids down

Big Finn mark, but man Joe looked like a million bucks tonight. This is a guy I can buy getting a monster push.
OVerall the only negative I had for the show is I didn't think Aries brought it all tonight. Expected a bit more. Nitpicking but it didn't live up to the rest of the show.

If it were up to me Joe would have debut last October when Cena was leaving to film his show and choked him out to win the US Title instead of ADR.
Nakamura/Zayn was probably one of the best matches I've seen. It was absolutely perfect.
The ppv as a whole was amazing. Everyone just gave it. Loved the Bayley/Asuka match and I loved the finish of Bayley refusing to give up. It wouldn't have fit with her tapping and tbh it felt real. I pray Bayley can make it to the main roster and become the absolute star she deserves to be.
Finn Balor and Joe was fantastic. Joe could be such a menacing heel on the main roster. Just amazing work from the two of them.
Any three of those matches could have been WWE's match of the year imo. All 3 deserve standing ovations for the incredible show they put on. Just wow.

He would be on a rocket to the moon right now.
I really want Bullet Club Monday, but Joe coming up to start wrecking **** on the main roster is appealing as well.
I posted some fantasy booking in the spoiler thread (I think), but I'd also be cool with him coming out and choking out Dean Ambrose after a promo where he talks about his war with Lesnar.

I'm down for that. Cancel those plans with Bray and set up Joe/Brock for Summer Slam. I 100% buy Joe against Brock and it could be an awesome match.
Edit: I like the Bret Hart finish to the main event, but I kind of wish Joe ran back in the ring and started a murder fest.
