1) Great To Have Mauro On Commentary
If you are a weekly viewer of NXT, you have already heard several weeks of Mauro Ranallo in the NXT commentary booth. A lot of fans only tune in for the Takeover specials, and heard Mauro for the first time. Mauro received a lot of praise and it was great to hear him for his first Takeover special:

His voice only added to the show!
2) One Heck Of An Opening Match
Johnny Gargano and Andrade “Cien” Almas faced off at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III in a singles match. This was Gargano’s first big match since splitting up with his tag team partner: Tommaso Ciampa.
Both guys put on a fantastic match against one another. A great way to kickoff the show and the bar was certainly raised. Almas eventually won the match.
Welp, that match was incredible.
Let’s give credit to whoever was the agent for that match. Outstanding#NXTTakeOver

One of the best opening matches for a TakeOver I’ve seen in a while. Great stuff and congrats to @AndradeCienWWE for winning! #NXTTakeOver
