NXT Tag-Team Championships
The Vaudevillains (with Blue Pants) vs. Blake & Murphy (with Alexa Bliss)
After the backstage segment, we head back to the ring where everything goes black-and-white for the TV viewing audience. With that said, out comes The Vaudevillans. From there, Blake & Murphy’s music hits, the fans boo, and out comes the NXT Tag-Team Champions.
Alexa Bliss gets on the mic and mocks The Vaudevillans for not having someone out to help them. Bliss calls them pathetic. The Vaudevillans call for their help. With that said, out comes Blue Pants to an awesome reception from the fans in Brooklyn. The fans actually chant “This is Awesome” before anything happens.
The fans chant “Blue Pants City” as Blue Pants and Alexa Bliss go out to the floor as the action begins in the ring. Gotch takes it to Blake early on, establishing control and then tagging his partner into the match. English hits a running boot to the face for a quick near fall.
Blake gets in a cheap shot on English on the floor. He tags in Murphy, who takes over control of the offense back inside the ring. The fans try and rally behind English, but Murphy stays on him.
Gotch slams both Blake & Murphy off the top rope leading into a swanton from English off the top rope. 1-2 ….two and a half. Bliss jumps on the apron to get involved but Blue Pants yanks her down and chases her around. They get into a cat fight, leading to English hitting his finisher. 1-2-3. We have new tag-team champions.
Winners and NEW NXT Tag-Team Champions: The Vaudevillains
Finn Balor Arrives
In the parking lot, we see Finn Balor pull up in a car. Also in the car was Neville and Cesaro, both of whom wish him the best of luck. Then, we see music mogul Rick Rubin sitting front row in the crowd.
Tye Dillinger vs. Apollo Crews
From there, we head back to the ring where Tye Dillinger makes his way out. Out next is his opponent for tonight, Apollo Crews (aka Uhaa Nation). The bell sounds and here we go.
This one doesn’t last long at all, as Crews basically dominates the action from beginning to end in what amounted to a glorified squash match “Takeover” debut for the former Uhaa Nation.
In the end, after dominating from bell-to-bell, Crews hits his new finisher and picks up the victory.
Winner: Apollo Crews
Baron Corbin vs. Samoa Joe
From there, a video package airs documenting the history between Baron Corbin and Samoa Joe. Then, Corbin makes his way to the ring to a chorus of boo’s from the fans inside the Barclays Center. Out next is his opponent for this evening, Samoa Joe.
The fans go ape-sh*t for Joe, chanting and cheering the moment his music hits. The bell sounds and here we go with our next match of the evening here at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.
Early on, Joe goes for his submission finisher, so Corbin ducks out of the ring and takes a breather. Back inside the ring, Joe gets Corbin in a weird-ass submission hold. Joe cranks back on the arm of Corbin so Corbin gets his foot on the ropes, forcing a break of the hold.
Corbin takes over control of the offense and has been spending the past several minutes beating down the respected wrestling veteran. Joe gets a hope spot, as he looks for a Muscle Buster on Corbin, however Corbin cuts his attempt short and continues his dominance.
Baron Corbin goes for his End Of Days finisher, however Joe reverses it into a rear naked choke attempt. Corbin escapes and slams Joe down. Joe reverses Corbin back into his rear naked choke finisher. Eventually, Corbin passes out, so the ref calls for the bell.
Winner: Samoa Joe
