(Note: I can't do this segment any justice. It was absurd, over the top, amazing and I hope it airs in it's entirety)
- Johnny Gargano vs. Aleister Black is a no contest when Tomasso Ciampa attacks both men. William Regal comes out and makes a triple threat match for the NXT Championship at Takeover Brooklyn.
Notes:
- This is the first appearance by William Regal in several months at Full Sail.
- Independent referee Aubrey Edwards reffed the dark match. Thanks to some helpful folks on Twitter for helping me identify her.
- Interesting bit of trivia tonight. Since NXT started doing Network specials, neither the Men's nor Women's titles had ever changed hands in a match at a Full Sail TV taping. Tomasso Ciampa winning the title made a bit of history here.
