Personally I feel like Gargano/Cole at XXV was better than the one at New York.
Didn't have anything close to the drama/emotion based match of Dustin/Cody, but otherwise was for sure a better show than DON, doing the story based spot fests better (Cole/Johnny), regular spot fests better (ladder match), athletic sprint better (Strong/Riddle), and certainly a much better women's match. Somewhat ironically, this looked less like a WWE production than Double or Nothing did 
Definitely less hype going into this (in that there was NO hype at all) and as a result ended up over delivering.
That ladder match was so fukking reckless
Forgotten Sons are so unsafe the shyt KOR went through in that match
They might as well bring Asuka in to also job clean to Shayna She's been booked so dominant at this point I expect either 1. Her to get called up and relinquishing the title or 2. Lose it in a fluke match to a third stringer with little to no build. I assume HHH wants to keep her and the other two in NXT until Ronda comes back so they can do the Horsewomen angle without giving Vince a chance to ruin it for a year before it even starts and can't think of any other way to keep Shayna busy than just keep the title on her forever. She's now gone through the entire women's roster multiple times so idk what is left for her to do in her current role. Lmao at Candice finally getting to be something more than Johnny's wife and...she's just Io's replacement friend 
It was nice to see Tyler Breeze have that spark again. He looked so sad and
during the Worlds Collide thing. I know they have so many guys backed up at the PC and already on the TV NXT roster that aren't doing shyt, but it might not be a bad idea to have NXT alumni that aren't getting used at all on the main roster pop in and put over current talent from time to time.
I'm kind of worried for Johnny Wrassles. It's clearly time for him to get called up, as he's done everything he can in NXT (literally), his storyline has come full circle multiple times now and they've repeated his championship angle of losing in the first big defense with all 3 belts. But you know when he gets called up he's going to languish hard on whatever show he's on and end up like Sami Zayn where he went from can't miss best babyface in the biz type to face you're sick of to heel you're sick of, and if Ciampa ever returns you know they'll be paired together forever like Sami and Kevin.

Overall good show. No match was boring, I don’t like Matt riddle but even his match was good.
Surprised they actually let the profits win. They were long overdue. They should never go to the main roster.
At this point no one on this card aside from shayna bayzler (because of her relationship with Ronda) and maybe dream will be successful on the main roster. I actually hope wrestlers start leaving for AEW after they get bored with nxt instead of going to the main roster to have your name removed and move set watered down.
I can’t say it was better than DON but it was a good response

We Are NXT!
Brit Baker was two seats down from Steph when they showed her on screen.

Matt Riddle is a star in the making

I used to drop Lewinsky off at the White House.
Riddle and Strong was fire. Might be my match of the night.
Cole and Gargano fire of course. Cole

How people constantly complain and cry about the WWE product being bad while completely dismissing the incredible alternative that’s been right under their nose for years specifically because it’s under the WWE umbrella and doesn’t fit their narrative
Don’t be naive
And I think AEW is great, but let’s be real here. The hype is specifically behind it because it’s not WWE related. People don’t want an “alternative,” they want something that’s anti WWE. If Double or Nothing was NXT branded, it’s just another great show, but because it’s AEW, the hot new upstart alternative to WWE, we’re treating the shyt like the best thing since wet p*ssy.

This was definitely a better show than DoN. DoN was a good introductory event to get you acquainted with AEW but NXT Takeover is the gold standard right now for wrestling shows.
