NXT Takeover Brooklyn 3 (2017) Review

I remember watching this event live as it happened.

The event starts off with Andrade 'Cien' Almas w/Zelina Vega taking on Johnny Gargano...

This match would serve as a preview of what this two would do a mere 5 months later at Takeover: Philadelphia (2018) over the NXT Championship.

Anyhow, great back & forth. The match ended when Vega distracted Gargano with DIY t-shirt, allow Andrade to hit the hammerlock DDT for the victory

The next match is for the NXT Tag Team Championship as The Authors Of Pain w/Paul Ellering defend against Sanity (Killian Dane & Alexander Wolfe) w/Eric Young & Nikki Cross...

In the weeks leading up to this match on NXT TV, Sanity made it know they wanted the The Authors of Pain, including laying the AOP out just days before Takeove Brooklyn 3.

It was originally thought that Dane & Wolfe would represent Sanity in this match, but as soon as Wolfe went to tag Dane in, he was replaced by Eric Young, so, now its Wolfe & Young against The Authors Of Pain.

This was an extremely physical match, it quickly turned into a 4 on 2 handicap match in favor of Sanity.

With Sanity coming out victorious & NEW NXT tag team champions.

After the match, Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish (FKA RedDragon) come to the ring & attack both teams, it would not be the last time you see Fish & O'Reilly on this night....

Next match is Hideo Itami vs. Aleister Black.

A couple of weeks ago on NXT TV, Itami tried to interrupt one of Black's matches, only to be KO'ed by Black Mass, he tried to jump Black as he let the arena, but security stepped in.
