Lumis attacked Cole with his submission hold after the match. Strong and Fish attacked Dexter but then Velveteen Dream came out to help him. They chase Fish and Strong off with Cole still in the ring. Cole raised his title high in the air until the lights went out. Scarlett Bordeaux came out with an hour glass to show to Adam Cole. The show ends with Cole staring at the hour glass.
Opinion: This was a really good follow up to NXT Takeover: In Your House. It was an even flow show in terms of segments and the booking of each match.
I thought they were actually going to have Lumis feud for the NXT title with Cole until Scarlett came out at the end. I don’t know how I feel about Karrion getting a shot at the title this early in the game. it might be a little early but I’m interested to see where it goes. I feel Lumis is doing great work and it looks like him and Dream will team up to feud with Strong and Fish which is all good with me.
Fantasma turning on Maverick was unexpected but I’m not mad about it. It’ll be another chase for Drake to rival with Escobar for the title.
The mixed tag match I feel was match of the night. The in ring chemistry between all four of them were phenomenal. However, I don’t see why the feud with Lee and Gargano should continue which I think was the point of Gargano going over in the way he did.
