This is like ECW in the Hammerstein Ballroom with less meth.

Seven and Bate dressed as the Bulldogs. Like that.
Crowd is nuts.

I'm not going to be able to understand any of these chants, but I just love their enthusiasm. Unlike RAW.

Bate did a kip up on the apron.
There's been some seriously cool moves in this match but that was fucking great.
Really solid opener so far

Holy hell the crowd bit at that false finish. So did I.

Suicide Dive/Doomsday Device on Bate. Holy hell.
Smart move making the heels the first champs. Make the babyfaces chase toward another match.
Hell of a start

Jordan Devlin looks like Edge and Hornswoggle made a human.

Holy shit. That place literally exploded.

Happy this is an actual match and not a squash. Was sort of worried they'd just have Finn steamroll him.
This makes Devlin look strong in the process. Don't expect him to beat Balor but the fight is what benefits Devlin

Dave Mastiff is the love child of Hanson of War Raiders and Otis Dozovic.

I thought Rhea was going to have a Half Baked moment.

Started slow but the women's match picked up big time at the end. Happy for Toni. Also have no shame admitting that Rhea is damn delightful.
Really hope they don't do a title change here with Coffey winning. They need to establish a major threat for Dunne to end his 600+ day title reign and not just lose on the first Takeover.

Crowd has gotten gassed. There's been chants throughout this match, but they're energy has seemed to slow down big time since the opener.
