Logan showed some nice technical skills which led to some good sequences. Royce dominated the match with her personality and always seemed to be a few steps ahead, and I really liked the conflict of styles and personalities here. The match was pretty quick, but it showed a lot from both women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of the Tag Title match from Takeover, and of the attack of reDRagon.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips from the NXT Title match, and of the attack of reDRagon and Adam Cole (bay-bay).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter Bobby Roode&#8217;s loss, he doesn&#8217;t want to talk to anyone.

Dunne and Bate were fantastic every time they stepped into the ring together, and Wolfgang and Seven helped create a nice bit of uncertainty regarding the outcome of the match. The match started with some mat wrestling, transitioned into some high-paced back and forth, then ended with a fun sequence that relied on everyone to pull off. Good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis felt a lot like a wrap-up show for Takeover, and it really kind of was, but the two matches are definitely worth watching. The women&#8217;s division continues to get stronger, and the UK division continues to make the most of every minute of airtime they are given.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Tyler Bate &amp; Trent Seven vs Wolfgang &amp; Pete Dunne<\/strong><br \/>\nI would&#8217;ve been fine if this match had been about three times as long and been the only match on the show. But even with the relatively short time they were given, the UK wrestlers gave a great performance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s episode is essentially a wrap-up of Takeover: Brooklyn III, but Peyton Royce versus Sarah Logan and a UK division tag match make this episode of NXT a must-watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3285,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[255,297,622],"tags":[556,1768,749,854,1766,1254,1146,539,549,775,1149,1480,737,871,1474,1767,638,885,567,1130,1148,682,801,1481,1135,1136,1192,7],"class_list":["post-3284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nxt","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-asuka","tag-barclays-center","tag-billie-kay","tag-bobby-roode","tag-brooklyn-new-york-ny","tag-christy-st-cloud","tag-darryl-sharma","tag-drake-wuertz","tag-eddie-orengo","tag-johnny-gargano","tag-kayla-braxton","tag-lars-sullivan","tag-mauro-ranallo","tag-mike-rome","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-ny","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-no-way-jose","tag-nxt","tag-percy-watson","tag-pete-dunne","tag-peyton-royce","tag-roderick-strong","tag-sarah-logan","tag-trent-seven","tag-tyler-bate","tag-wolfgang","tag-wwe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3284"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3288,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3284\/revisions\/3288"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
