It's sadly not too surprising that NXT's mere two-hour TakeOver show ended up being decidedly more satisfying, entertaining and consistent than the entire six-hour SummerSlam broadcast, with its five-match card delivering long-awaited title changes, surprising retains, and an absolute barn-stormer of an opening bout that lit a fire under the Brooklyn crowd.
