7 Ups And 3 Downs From NXT TakeOver Brooklyn III
1. Landscape-Altering Ending
We’ve seen two of the three NXT titles change hands at a TakeOver event, but Saturday’s PPV was unique in one major way.
The event ended with new NXT Champion Drew McIntyre being laid out by the debuting Adam Cole and new NXT superstars Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly. The duo had already made their presence felt earlier in the night by attacking the new tag champs Sanity, but now all three men – all Ring of Honor alums – jumped McIntyre and left him laid out, standing tall to close the show.
It’s the kind of ending that actually makes you want to tune in on Wednesdays to see how things shake out with two new champs and new challengers/rabble-rousers already ready to take them on. Will the ROH trio form a faction to try to capture NXT gold ala the Four Horsemen or Evolution? It’s an intriguing scenario.
