10 Interesting Observations From Attending NXT TakeOver: Back To Brooklyn Live
4. Johnny Wrestling And The Psycho Killer
The Revival are riding pretty high these days - they may have lost the NXT Tag Team Titles to American Alpha at TakeOver: Dallas, but they reclaimed the belts in decisive fashion to become the first-ever two-time champs. Even though Dash and Dawson are sometimes played for laughs, there's no denying that they've accomplished a lot and built up a body of great work.
The challengers for the title - Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa - may not have been pushed as hard or as long as American Alpha, but that didn't hurt them at all in Barclays Center. The crowd was absolutely wild for Gargano and Ciampa, with constant chants of "Johnny Wrestling" and "Psycho Killer." In response, the teams delivered what was probably the match of the evening.
The Revival came out on top, with Dawson making Gargano submit to a modified Figure Four. It was a shame, but the simple fact that the challengers got such a great reaction in front of NXT's largest crowd of the year means that they've probably ensured a bright future for themselves.
