NXT TakeOver: Toronto, Year 2

These TakeOver shows continue to get better and better.

Asuka landed a hip attack and locked in a reverse sleeper. Emma countered and kept Asuka grounded. Emma dodged a big splash and hit a snap suplex. Asuka came back with multiple kicks and then the Buzzsaw kick to the head and won.

Emma put up a fight, but Asuka's kicks were just too much. She's going to be tough to beat.

He later tossed Zayn into the steel steps and rolled back into the ring. Zayn hit the Blue Thunder Bomb, but Corbin kicked out. Corbin landed Deep Six, but Zayn reached for the ropes. After countering the End of Days, Zayn hit a second Blue Thunder Bomb to win.

Great match. Zayn pulled off what some would call an upset. Corbin is still a top heel on the roster.

Match 6. Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe vs. Hideo Itami vs. Rusev
Winner will face the NXT champion. Joe/Rusev and Balor/Itami was how it split at the opening bell. Rusev was getting the best of Joe. Rusev brought in a chair, but Joe took it and used it. Itami sent Balor to the outside. Joe landed his 3 Germans and another chair shot. Itami threw Balor into the steel steps. Joe threw Rusev head first into the chair and locked in the Coquina Clutch to win.

That was a car crash that ended quickly. This is the beginning to Joe and Rusev.
