Shirai and Sane know each other very well, and that makes them fantastic tag partners. They were running circles around Duke and Shafir (almost literally at one point). Shafir showed more in this match than her previous outing, but I do think Duke is still progressing faster. Shafir and Duke looked fine, but they were outclassed tonight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of Johnny Gargano winning the North American Title at Takeover.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSarah Schreiber asks Johnny Gargano how it feels to win his first singles title in NXT.

This could be a star-making feud for both teams.
