NXT TakeOver Phoenix: Solid but weak for Takeover
Platypuschow27 January 2019
Due to my opinion of the current WWE product I don't watch every ppv now, I have the habit of reading results/watching highlights however I always make time for the consistently good NXT Takeover events.

I've reviewed a fair few ppv's but my issue is how can you possibly do so without giving away spoilers?

With the World, North American, Tag & Women's championships on the line plus one grudge match the event was set to be another incredible show of professional wrestling and for the most part it delivered.

The results were logical, the in ring performances were expectedly great but there was little in the way of surprises. You would likely predict the event from start to finish here and be correct so Phoenix offers highly quality wrestling and high quality wrestling alone.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that, I guess in the world of sports entertainment I find myself expecting such things as a given. Perhaps with the Royal Rumble looming they decided to save all the surprises for then, after all this is one of the few times the main WWE product can actually compete in quality with NXT Takeover.

Another solid outing regardless which I walked away happy with.

The Good:

Logical outcomes

Solid in ring performances

The Bad:

Predictable

Lacks any revelations/shocks

Takeover Phoenix

Warning: Spoilers
If you could not predict Gargano and Ciampa standing together in the post-credits segment you probably haven't seen more than one Takeover in your life. We all saw that coming, especially with Ciampa teasing earlier that this was "their" takeover.

Gargano/Ricochet was good, but we've seen better Takeover matches. Most things worked, but this was not one of the better specials.
