This match was exactly what it should have been. Lars Sullivan defeated Kassius Ohno in just over five minutes, and both men managed to gain something from the short brawl. This was all-action, constant movement and no downtime, managing to accentuate Sullivan’s strengths and hide his inexperience and weaknesses.

Kassius Ohno is an absolute treasure. His relatively lowly position can be considered a shame, but it feels as though the former Chris Hero is in for the long haul regarding the Performance Center, with a coaching position a likelihood in the future. The main roster not be beckoning for Ohno - an NXT gatekeeper spot may well be his ceiling.

Lars Sullivan continued on his path of destruction, but Ohno put up a solid fight nonetheless. Both men can move on to fresh matches, although it is difficult to work out who will stand up to Lars next. Right now, the big man looks absolutely unstoppable. His first TakeOver match was a 100% success.
