The stage is set for the biggest show of the NXT roster, NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. Find out what the NXT go-home show had in store for us.

We’re just three days away from NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III, but there is still some unfinished business to attend to. Takeover Brooklyn has become NXT’s equivalent to WrestleMania. For the for the third straight year it will be hosted at the Barclay’s Arena in Brooklyn New York. The Barclay’s Center is the site of some of the greatest moments in NXT history, including the iconic Sasha vs Bayley  Iron Woman Match.

With so much history and high expectation, how will this crop of NXT wrestlers handle the moment? Before the get to answer that question there is some unfinished business…

NXT had a lot to live up to for a go-home show compared to Raw and SmackDown Live. However, there just wasn’t enough meat on the bone to usurp the main roster shows. The episode was entertaining nonetheless. An interesting main event stipulation coupled with a great hype package for the NXT Tag Team Championship, and some great storytelling for one of NXT’s up and comers made this an above average go-home show.
