NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, Year 4



Match 1. Prime Time Players vs. Rhyno and Heath Slater
A possible No. 1 contender's match. Rhyno hit Young with a spine buster. Titus then overpowered Rhyno. After a heel kick, Young locked Slater in a Boston Crab. Rhyno got the hot tag and tossed Titus around. He then hit the Gore and got the win.

A nice win for Slater and Rhyno. They can get a title shot soon.

Match 2. Enzo and Big Cass vs. The Club - NXT Tag Team Championship
Gallows locked Enzo in a camel clutch. He then hit Cass with a pump handle drop and Jackhammer. Enzo fired back on Gallows and Anderson but fell short. The Club hit the Magic Killer but Cass broke up the pin. Anderson hit Cass with a fireman's carry cutter but got a two count. He then hit a jumping cutter to get the win.

Anderson takes down the big man to win the titles for his team. Good brothers.

Match 3. Neville vs. Booker vs. Ziggler vs. Bulldog - European Championship
Bulldog/Booker and Neville/Ziggler were the pairings to start the match. Neville got a near fall on Bulldog after a brain buster. Bulldog hit Booker with a delayed suplex and power slam for a two count. Ziggler hit Neville with a Zig Zag. Neville then came back and won with the Red Arrow.

Holy crap. A fast-paced 4-way. Neville somehow retains again.

Match 4. Ricky Steamboat vs. Curtis Axel
The two shook hands before the match. Steamboat locked in a sleeper and hit a delayed suplex. Axel DDT's Ricky on the apron. He then hit a diving forearm from the top to the outside. After a knee smash, Axel hit the Perfect-plex but got a two count. They went back and forth before Axel won with a hangman's neck breaker.

Steamboat raised Axel's arm in victory. Respect all around.

Match 5. Dana Brooke vs. Nia Jax - NXT Women's Championship
Eeek. Dana tried taking the big girl down but Nia caught her with a Samoan drop. She then hit two squatting suplexes. Dana countered a slam into a DDT and began her comeback. After a front slam, the former bodybuilder lifted Nia up for a Samoan Driver and retained her title.

Nia looked dominant early but Dana somehow overcame the odds.

Match 6. John Cena vs. Mankind
They traded moves to start. Mankind hit a gut buster and locked in a front headlock choke. After a bulldog, he locked in Mr. Socko. Cena hit the sunset bomb and a sit-out powerbomb. He then caught Mankind in mid-air and landed the AA to win.

Cena gets his win back from the last PPV. Do we get the rubber match next month?

Main Event. Triple H vs. Seth Rollins vs. Scott Hall - NXT Championship
Hmmm. This may not go well for Seth. There was no alliance as all three attacked each other. Hall hit Rollins and Trips with a sledgehammer. Seth hit H with two heel kicks. Hall caught Triple H with a chokeslam. Hall and Rollins stalked H and Hall hit his finish first. Rollins hit Hall with a dive to the outside. Rollins busted H open with a super kick. Hall landed the Outsider Edge. Rollins went for the Phoenix Splash but Hall hit the super fallaway slam. Hall took out H, allowing Rollins to pin Hall with a sit-out slam.

What a main event! There were weapons, blood and many near falls. Rollins is once again champ.

Recap: A solid PPV with two title changes. The summer is just heating up.
