While NXT may not be as essential weekly viewing as it was, one thing remains the same: TakeOver shows regularly make WWE events look like amateur hour. NXT TakeOver: New Orleans could prove to do exactly the same judging by the card.
It’s a much more compact agenda than your typically overblown WWE fare, and that’s because of one thing: wrestling. It’s hard to choose a match on any TakeOver card that you could dismiss as a toilet break, but there’s one match I am excited for above any other.
Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano’s rivalry since their less than amicable split has been bubbling for a very long time, so I can’t wait to see what kind of magic the former #DIY members can produce. It could also be the last time we see a lot of these wrestlers with more freedom in their wrestling style before they’re promoted, so let’s make the most of it.
