The finish was all about story and made perfect sense heading into Takeover, but the action before that was very good. AoP dominated early, but Roderick Strong helped get some momentum on his team&#8217;s side when he tagged in partway through the match. Strong and Dunne then used some extremely good teamwork and tandem moves to believably get AoP on the defensive. It seemed like the match was heading to an exciting conclusion when it was cut short by the Undisputed Era.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter O&#8217;Reilly and Cole&#8217;s attack, William Regal comes out to the stage. Regal says the Undisputed Era is smart. If there&#8217;s no winner to the tournament, then there will be no number one contender and no title match. Unfortunately for the Undisputed Era, they aren&#8217;t as smart as they thought. Regal makes a triple threat match for the NXT Tag Titles at Takeover: Undisputed Era defending against AoP and Strong &amp; Dunne.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Six Man Ladder match at Takeover: New Orleans to crown the first NXT North American Champ is previewed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe history between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa is chronicled, leading up to their match at Takeover: New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Kairi Sane vs Vanessa Borne<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Jessika Carr)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e758e0b5c20','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e758e0b5c20\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e758e0b5c20\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kairi Sane wins via pinfall after an Insane Elbow<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4:17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match. Sane started quickly, then Borne started to take over with her power advantage.

Regal says they have three choices: Cole can wrestle twice at Takeover, O&#8217;Reilly can defend his title on his own, or Cole can drop out of the North American Title match.

It was very much focused on building up Takeover. It touched on every match whether with an in-ring segment or a video, and for that it was fine. I do like that they managed to squeeze in a match that has nothing to do with Saturday&#8217;s show, but is instead promoting next Wednesday&#8217;s NXT.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Kairi Sane vs Vanessa Borne<\/strong><br \/>\nIt wasn&#8217;t spectacular (nor was it trying to be), and at the end of the match it was clear that the biggest goal was to showcase Kairi Sane.
