It's nXt's first "big show" following the post-Wrestlemania call-ups... and with a Chicago audience in the AllState Arena on hand... it promises to be a good one

NXT Championship Match:
Aleister Black (c) vs. Lars Sullivan

Chicago Street Fight Match:
Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa

NXT Women's Championship Match:
Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Nikki Cross

Ricochet vs. Velveteen Dream

NXT Tag Team Championship Match:
Undisputed ERA (Kyle O'Reilly & Roderick Strong) (c) vs. Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch

Gonna be good. Kinda felt like Takeover: NOLA should have been the end of Gargano/Ciampa because the best matches certainly of 2018, maybe the last few years are:

Omega/Okada - Dominion
Gargano/Ciampa - Takeover: NOLA

But I’m down for another one.

I think Gargano/Ciampa will be 1 that lasts for like a year with all the different kind of gimmick matches

Chicago Street Fight tonight

maybe a Last Man Standing Match

maybe a cage match

maybe an ambulance match

this feud's built for stuff like that

ETA: I definitely expect Ciampa to win tonight

Only five matches? Is it gonna be a three-hour show?

This is probably the least excited I have been for an NXT takeover. The heavyweight and tag team title matches are lackluster. Also, EC3 should be on the card.

Ciampa turned on him one year ago at this very PPV, did he not? I mean, I could watch these guys wrestle for another year of NXT PPVs but can this thing really extend 2 years?

EC3 & Adam Cole not defending the North American Championship is a bad call

but the actual feud didn't really start until TakeOver NOLA due to Ciampa's injury

they had to keep it simmering for like 9 months (thanks Almas & Vega)

When they fought for the 1st time post-heel turn is when the clock started ticking on the feud in my eyes

Twitter tells me that Charly is on the Kickoff Show. I'm sure she's doing a fine job.

Pat McAfee's impressed that Black has a tattoo on his kneecap

I'll disagree about the tag team match. I'm a huge Oney Lorcan fan. It'll be tag team match of the year without question
