Get ready, you mutha***** for the big payback Photo Credit: WWE.com Results, stray thoughts, and takeaways from NXT's three- hour special from the Big Easy just as soon as I can finally relax when the credits box pops up... Results: Adam Cole beat Ricochet, ECIII, Lars Sullivan, Killian Dain and Velveteen Dream in a ladder match to become NXT's first-ever North American Champion. Shayna Baszler became the seventh woman to win the NXT Women's World Championship after Ember Moon passed out in the Kirifuda Clutch. The Undisputed Era's Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly retained the NXT World Tag Team Championships over the Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne in a triple threat match when Strong turned on Dunne, allowing Kyle O'Reilly to gain the fall. Appropriately enough, Aleister Black became the 13th different man to win the NXT World Championship by beating Andrade "Cien" Almas via pinfall after a second Black Mass. Johnny Gargano used a brac...

THIS fucking guy, redux Photo Credit: WWE.com Results, stray thoughts, and takeaways from the first Takeover of 2018 served (appropriately enough) Holzerman style just as soon as I chip in  for Adam Cole's copay, BAY BAY... Results: Bobby Fish and Kyle O' Reilly beat the Authors of Pain to retain the NXT World Tag Team Championships with a flash roll-up Velveteen Dream pinned Kassius Ohno after the Purple Rainmaker elbow. Ember Moon countered an armbar into a roll-up to pin Shayna Baszler to retain the NXT Women's World Championship but got choked out twice for it post match. Aleister Black pinned Adam Cole (BAYBAY) in an extreme rules match after a Black Mass. Andrade "Cien" Almas pinned Johnny Gargano with the hammerlock DDT in an instant classic to retain the NXT World Championship.  As seen above, Tomasso Ciampa popped up to slam his crutch into Gargano's back "after the credits."  General Observations: I know his shtick has worn thin for some, b...
