Regal starts out with his two game-changing announcements:

Takeover Stand and Deliver two nights April 7 & 8

Announcement 2: He brings Kai & Gonzales in, says I’m sick and tired of waiting, and for what you went through, you are now the new NXT women’s Tag team champions.

Kai: This really is the most talented division in the world, and we beat you ALL. Don’t shake your head at me!! We dominated so much they had to create these titles for us.

Raquel: This is just the first step of us taking over the whole world. We’re gonna have these for a long time.

Shotzi & Ember comes down: Let us congratulate you, but you’re gonna need challengers. You beat everyone in your bracket, we beat everyone in ours. So why don’t you defend those titles against us tonight?

Regal again we will make history tonight.

Dunne handles Atlas pretty easily, taps him out

**1/4

Gets on the mic afterwards, says I came up in the UK, but make no mistake, I’m the best in the world, this time of year everyone steps their game up, if you step up to me, that’s what’s gonna happen

Imperium video, where Bartel calls out Thatcher- a long time ago, we created something special, take your rightful spot, together, lets take whats always been ours. Aicher: Tim, we’re here for you, we’re doing this for you. If you need to ask your friend’s permission, bring him along too, cuz we’re taking over no matter what.

Ruff video: I busted my ass to get here, and it wasn’t luck when I beat you two weeks ago, Leon Ruff has been holding it down, and next week it’s gonna be Ruff holding you down in another Ruff landing.

Ember/Shotzi vs. Kai/Gonzales

As usual, Kai gets her ass beat til Raquel helps

Man, suicide dive between Ember’s legs for Shotzi was impressive

Kai eventually gets a boot to Ember inthe corner, tags in Raquel, they get an assist kick move thing off on Ember for 2

Shotzi breaks up a pin as Raquel did kinda like a power bomb from a gory special position

Shotzi comes in hot with a funsplash

Kai in more trouble, Raquel helps, then Gonzales CATCHES an Eclipse, Shotzi pushes Kai into Gonzaels as she has Ember up on her shoulders, sending them over the top rope, Shotzi rolls up Kai with a bridging german suplex, for a pin for 3

NEW TAG CHAMPS

***½

Cole promo

He basically recaps how we got here- finn, if you think my first reign was special, you ain’t seen nothin yet

The new tag champs are backstage being greeted by the good guys, while Indi and Candice skulk off, see Gargano, Austin gives him shit for paying off the therapist last week. Gargano says now you know how Dexter feels about you. Austin starts to cry, he says I’m mad! Gargano reiterates what the therapist said, Austin rips his shirt off and says he crossed the line!

Xia Li vs. Kayden Carter

Kayden starts strong with fast offense, sends Li reeling a bit, she tries to come at her when Li is against the ropes, Li takes advantage and kicks her knee as the ref backs Carter up, Li gets annoyed by Kacy coming out to root her on, so she starts going hard on Carter’s knee. As Lil prepares to break Carter’s ankle against the ring post, Kacy attacks with the crutch, then goes inside and attacks Li more, saying you went too far! Boa comes in to make the save, he breaks the crutch in half, Mei Ying gives the CRUSH sign, Boa starts to come at Kacy, Carter attacks, they make a break for it.

Jordan Devlin mat chat question lets see what he has to say

He loves this time of year, but he doesn’t love the irish weather, he needs a change of scenery. Wouldn’t it be a shame if the biggest takeover of the year lacked the real cruiserweight champion? Lucky for NXT, his travel exemption was lifted, he’s coming to NXT next week, we’ll find out once and for all who the real CW champ is.

Zoey Stark minidoc

She had a rough childhood, saw two roads, bad or good, she chose good cuz she loves wrestling- she loves mma/chain wrestling

Hard work pays off, no limit to zoey stark

Santos Escobar is bitching at Regal about Regal, they both just talk over each other- LDF come up to him, say our music is playing,

GYV: HOW DOES IT FEEL LADS TO BE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS SANTOS’ PUPPETS? IS THIS HOW YOU WANTED YOUR LIFE TO GO? WHILE YOU’RE TAKING BULLETS FOR YOUR BOSS, GIVING HIM MASSAGES, RUNNING HIS ERRANDS, WE’VE BEEN MAKING AN IMPACT. DRAKE: WHAT WE DID DO MSK IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT YOU’RE IN FOR TONIGHT. GIBSON: WE ARE GRRRIZZILED YOUNG VETS, SOOOON TO BE RECOGNIZED AS NXT’S NUMBER ONE!!

Grizzled Young Vets vs. LDF

Mid-match, Breezango make their entrance, but it turns out it’s MSK, Wilde uses the distraction to roll up Drake, GYV attack MSK, they use their helmets, Wes uses breaks Gibson’s hand against the steps using the helmet. LDF is amused, but Breezango attacks from behind.

They dance after the match

Kai and Gonzales interview- it doesn’t matter how long it was, we were the first ever, we made history. Gonzales is sitting down, Io comes in, she stands up, Io says I want you next. Raquel says be careful what you wish for.

Thatcher Interview: He’s asked how he responds to Imperium. Ciampa interrupts, I am not interested in Imperium. But I am interested in The General across the pond. If you’re not with them, you’re against them. Thatcher and old man Ciampa vs. Imperium next week, that sounds good to me.

Adam Cole vs. Finn Balor

Great stuff, Cole working Finn’s jaw, Cole hits brainbuster to the knee for 2, cole goes for panama sunrise, misses, sling blade counter, shotgun dropkick, balor goes up, misses CDG, Cole hits superkick to jaw, Cole gets a crossface on Balor, who almost gets to the ropes, Cole flips it back, Balor rolls him over and gets out, they both struggle for submissions, Balor back in the crossface, Balor gets the ropes

After the match, KOR with war vest on, stalks cole in the ring, Cole tries to low blow KOR, he blocks, attacks Cole, ref tries to hold him back, it goes to the outside, KOR shoves ref to the floor, KOR yells YOU DID THIS YOU TRIED TO END MY CAREER! The refs chase him off. Meanwhile, Finn stands in the ring, his spidey sense tingles, he says What took you so long, as the camera pans around and we see Kross standing behind him.
