Welcome to PWInsider.com’s coverage of NXT Takeover New York from Brooklyn, New York.
Your host is Charly Caruso and she is joined by Sam Roberts and Pat McAfee.
We go to Sarah Schreiber outside the building with the fans.
We take a look at the North American Championship Match between Velveteen Dream and Matt Riddle.
Sam says that Dream has succeeded when he has had the chance. Matt Riddle has never been in front of this many people before. He says the people will choke tonight. Pat mentions that Matt had to earn everything on his way to tonight. He was a joke and now he is undefeated in NXT. Dream makes these moments monstrous but Matt can handle it. Sam says Matt should focus on the match instead of talking about Brock Lesnar.
We take a look at the Women's Championship Match with a video package.
Pat says he cannot wait for this match. He says Bianca Belair is in another huge match at Takeover and the last time this happened, Sam had some words about Bianca. He asks if Sam ha anything to say. Sam says he was proven right at the Royal Rumble. Bianca belongs in this match. She is one of the top four women in NXT. This will be a hell of a match. Charly reminds them of the fact that Shayna does not have to be pinned to lose the title. Sam brings up that there is also no disqualification so they can use any tricks she wants. Pat wonders if Kairi and Io can stay friends in this match.
UK Champion Pete Dunne walks through the back earlier today. We see WALTER walking through the back as well.
We take a look at the UK Title Match with a video package.
NXT UK announcer Vic Joseph joins the panel to talk about the UK title match. Vic says it is great to have NXT UK part of Wrestlemania. He says this is the biggest match in NXT UK. Sam says WALTER is seen as the biggest threat, but who is he. Vic says it is just his presence in the building and the ring. What he demands from his opponents. He interrupted Pete Dunne at Takeover UK. Sam asks how did he get into this match. Vic says that Pete demanded this match because he was disrespected by WALTER. Vic says that Pete has been NXT UK since day one and he wants to prove he is the best.
Pat asks Vic what he thinks about Johnny Gargano's chances tonight and he says that Johnny said he is feeling dangerous.
We take a look at the Tag Title Match with a video package.
Charly asks who has the advantage in the tag title match. Pat says the War Raiders have the advantage because Ricochet and Black are not a real team. Sam reminds Pat of what Ricochet and Black have done on Raw and Smackdown. He asks if they can focus. Charly says Ricochet and Black says they respect the War Raiders.
We go to Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, and Roderick Strong. Bobby asks if Sarah has mistaken them for people who live in a world of potential. Adam Cole leaves Takeover as your next NXT Champion. Bobby says the only piece of advice he gave Adam Cole was to go out there and be Adam Cole. Kyle asks Sarah to think about everything that Adam has done in NXT. He has never been more motivated in his life. That is a scary image for Johnny Gargano. Strong says when Adam wins tonight, it begins the Era of the Undisputed Era and NXT changes forever. Bobby says the entire crew will be draped in gold.
It is time for the Million Dollar Challenge Tournament for WWE 2K19.
We take a look at the Men's Title match with a video package.
Charly brings up Ricochet's comments about dealing with one member of Undisputed Era is dealing with all of them. Sam says Johnny Gargano doesn't have friends because of Tommaso Ciampa. We have seen four different versions of Johnny and Johnny has won nothing.. Sam asks what happens since he does not have Ciampa to help him. Pat and Sam argue over who is not a shell of themselves. Pat says that Johnny Gargano has been hardened by what has happened to him and Johnny will be a Triple Crown champion.
