Johnny Gargano vs. Bronson Reed in a steel cage match for the NXT North American Championship: NXT did a terrific job of setting the table for the Reed win. While it may have tipped off the win for some, it had to serve as a nice hook to keep viewers watching to see if they would follow through on the title change. The match quality was strong and this all made for a nice moment. The story that Reed won the title on the anniversary of his first match 14 years earlier made this feel even more special.

Tonight's NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver kicked off with a match between Toni Storm and Zoey Stark, and the two got right down to business, locking up right after the bell rang.

That hasn't stopped Storm for going at Shirai, and now the two finally had their one on one matchup, which ended with Shirai making Storm tap and therefore retaining her title.

Finn Balor vs. Adam Cole for the NXT Championship: A strong main event title match. Cole looked strong by getting so much offense in, and Balor looked resilient for kicking out of everything that Cole threw at him. Kyle O’Reilly put on his Triple H costume and then showed awesome fire while attacking Cole. I loved the touch of O’Reilly tearing the Undisputed Era armband off of Cole. Meanwhile, Karrion Kross showing up in the ring behind Balor led to the coolest moment of the show. Balor simply asking “What took you so long?” before he turned around was great, and the staredown sets the stage for what I assume will be the Takeover main event.

Finn Balor vs. Pete Dunne for the NXT Championship: An excellent Takeover main event. It’s unfortunate that NXT never sold me on the possibility of Dunne actually winning the championship. Had the creative forces developed his character rather than making him a near mute over the years, this would have felt even more special. And it was a special match, but I just couldn’t buy into Dunne’s near falls, which worked against my enjoyment. The post match with Adam Cole taking out Finn Balor and Kyle O’Reilly with superkicks was a hot ending to the show that left me anxious for the next chapter on Wednesday night.
