NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn Results, Analysis and Grades
By Evan Gomes
Tye Dillinger vs Apollo Crewes
Result: Crewes def. Dillinger by pinfall (Standing Moonsault)
Rating: 2.75 stars out of 5 stars
Crewes is greeted with an “Uhaa” chant and the crowd is very behind him. Dillinger works his Perfect 10 gimmick a lot, doing a cartwheel. Crewes does a backflip that gets a “Perfect 10” chant from the crowd as well.
Dillinger manages to slow down Crewes and keep him on the ground, and connecting with a huge super kick for a two count. He goes for one again, but Crewes counters into a standing enziguiri. Apollo gets on a roll, and hits a gorilla press followed by a standing moonsault for the victory.
Evan’s Note: This was an impressive debut for the former Uhaa Nation. Crewes looked impressive, but it would have been a great match if they were given a little bit more time. Dillinger was also impressive in working his “Perfect 10” gimmick, so this was a fun match.
