So, there you have it. NXT have now successfully brought a stonking thirty consistently excellent TakeOver events to our screens over the course of the last six years.

But, did TakeOver: XXX celebrate the milestone in spectacular fashion or pale in comparison to those legendary events of days gone by?

Without a shadow of a doubt, Triple H and co managed to yet again deliver another deeply memorable event. However, the latest Full Sail offering was again lacking one vital ingredient which could have easily taken Saturday's event to the next level: genuine, passionate live fans.

If only they had some sort of state of the art arena capable of beaming actual NXT hardcores into the environment... ah, well.

Torrid atmosphere aside, every single performer on show did their utmost to remind fans at home exactly why a TakeOver event can never be missed. New champions were crowned, contenders were unearthed and stars were born, setting us up nicely for the dark months to come.

Make no mistake, Doomsday is now upon us... or at least, we hope it is...
