5) Oney Lorcan Took A MASSIVE Bump
During the Tag Team Title match, Oney Lorcan took a massive bump from the top rope onto the ring apron. That looked like it hurt!

6) Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch Knocked Their Opportunity Out Of The Park
If you are like me, you came into Takeover with limited knowledge of Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. After the match was over, I think both guys won the respect of the fans for their performance.
What a great effort from both and they surely made some new fans.
WOW THAT MATCH WAS AMAZING!!!! MAJOR PROPS TO BURCH AND LORCAN!!!!!

Even losing, Lorcan/Burch just got a huge rise in popularity from that.

7) The Undisputed Era Retained Their Titles After An Awesome Match
The Undisputed Era is still our NXT Tag Team Champions after defeating Lorcan and Burch. This was one hell of a tag team match and was a great way to kick off the show.
Great work from both.

8) Velveteen Dream Dressed As Hulk Hogan (And Had Prince Puma Tights)
Velveteen Dream came to the ring for his match against Ricochet wearing gear similar to Hulk Hogan. Dream also was wearing some tights that looked similar to Ricochet’s when he wrestled as ‘Prince Puma’ in Lucha Underground.
Some great trolling from Dream:
