Tonight, the black and gold brand has all the spotlight… NXT TakeOver: Portland is coming at us in less than an hour! On this page, you’ll see the results and links to recaps for every match moments after they come! I’m Jordan Huie of the Overtimer, and I’ll be giving you the full coverage of tonight’s event! Watch this space!
Segment 1: In a crazy all-time great opener, Keith Lee defended the title against long-time rival Dominik Dijakovic! It was everything it was expected to be, which is to say it was totally bonkers and a fantastic display of athleticism from two behemoths of the sport. In the end, Lee retained and the two of them shared a nice moment of respect together – fitting as this is likely the final chapter of this feud, atleast for now.
Segment 2: Up next was the street fight grudge match between Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai. Having to follow Lee/Dijakovic was an unenviable task but they actually did extremely well to keep the crowd invested. It was a brutal bout to be certain, physical and intense. In the end, Kai defeated Nox after Raquel Gonzalez interfered to help for some reason.
Segment 3: In a big time first-time-ever dream match, Johnny Gargano faced off with Finn Balor in the first match the former has had since Finn attacked him months ago. In the end, Balor took the victory in another intense clash.
Segment 4: Rhea Ripley successfully retained her title against Bianca Belair in yet another great battle, only for Charlotte Flair to lay them both out afterwards! Charlotte then officially announces that she will see Ripley at WrestleMania!
Segment 5: After winning the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, the Broserweights challenged the Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championships! After combating a couple of miscommunications, the Broserweights took the win and the titles!
Segment 6: In a truly mesmerizing and unforgettable main event, Adam Cole defended the NXT Championship against Tommaso Ciampa. Cole got the win and retain, but only after a shocking betrayal from Johnny Gargano!
