To me, my board!
Show sucked 
Hated the lay out of Lee/Gargano, which should have been little shyt Johnny sticking and moving and using chicanery all match to avoid Keith, because one shot from a dude 200 pounds bigger than you is instant death. Instead, Johnny controlled most of the match with strikes and submissions and joint manipulation. Johnny is too fukking small to be a heel that controls a match even against a normal sized guy, let alone a guy the size of Keith Lee who literally curled Johnny with one arm, the injured arm that had been worked on all match, without even a hint of effort.
Charlott'es NXT was a fukking pointless disaster, everyone she was involved with came out the other side worse:
Bianca: Title contender who was finally back on track to finally win the title, Charlotte runs through her, beats her ass after the match, she gets called up to be half a manager for her husband's team on Raw shortly after.
Mia Yim: Title contender who seemed like she was just about to break through....Charlotte runs through her, now she's doing a couples feud with the Garganos.
Rhea Ripley: Changes her entire career trajectory, look, style, attitude to get out from being compared to Charlotte, wins both NXT women's titles, Charlotte comes to town and beats her completely clean at WM, she does nothing for the next 2 months, finally gets a rematch in a triple threat and is the one who takes the fall.
Io Sharai: Finally wins the title she should have had ages ago, however she didn't beat the champ to win so there's always going to be an asterisk.
Meanwhile, Charlotte spent her time as NXT champ feuding with the Raw champ and in fact beat her on Raw the very next night and has more wins over Asuka than any woman on all three rosters...combined. But there were also strays caught in all this: Rhea defeating Shayna to end her deathreign ends with Shayna getting called up, beaten in her first big match, the champ retires right after because she's pregnant, Vince takes Shayna off TV because he thinks she's an ugly lesbian.

This was the WOAT NXT Takeover. Takeovers need great tag matches. This just felt like an extended episode of the TV show with a cinematic match that I already forgot I watched. That cinematic match collection on the network in a few years is going to be a slog to get thru.
