“WWE: Then. Now. Forever.”

The NXT intro brings us to a packed crowd inside Full Sail for the go-home show for Takeover: War Games! Commentary hypes a confrontation between the NXT Champion Drew McIntyre and his opponent for Takeover, Andrade “Cien” Almas, as well as Ember Moon taking on Mercedes Martinez in women’s division action. We go to ringside, as the Street Profits make their way to the ring for the opening match of the night. Out next are Tino Sabbatelli and Riddick Moss, and the bell rings to get this match underway!

The Street Profits vs. Tino Sabbatelli and Riddick Moss

Tino and Dawkins start off with a lockup, Tino taking Dawkins to the corner before breaking the hold. Dawkins gets a waist lock takedown on Tino, holding onto the lock until Tino breaks out of it. Leapfrog by Dawkins after a blind tag by Ford and we get a double team from the Street Profits as Ford dropkicks Moss back out of the ring. Ford with a 360 clothesline but Moss distracts him, allowing Tino to get a hit in before tagging in Moss. Double team in the corner as Moss hits a belly to back suplex, mocking Dawkins before going back to work on Ford. Tag to Tino, who gets in a hard right hand on Ford. Tino mocks Ford as he continues the attack, turning his attention back to Dawkins before hitting Ford with a forearm. Tino continues to mock Dawkins, which gives Ford a chance to tag in his partner! Moss comes running in, only to be taken out with a bulldog by Dawkins. Dawkins follows up with a 360 clothesline on Moss, and goes for one on Tino but Tino dodges it. Tino gets distracted by Ford which lets Dawkins hit a KO punch for the win!

Out next is one of my favorite Simpsons references in NXT, Raul MENDOZAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, and the bell rings to get this match underway!

Lars Sullivan vs. Raul Mendoza

Lars charges at Mendoza, who dodges and hits some kicks on Lars to little effect. Lars whips Mendoza to the corner, but Mendoza hits an enziguri from the top rope…only to be driven down hard by Lars. Lars charges at Mendoza, hitting a stinger splash twice over before dropping him with a huge power slam. Lars lays into Mendoza with a series of crossface forearms, before hitting the Freak Accident for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Lars Sullivan

Lars celebrates in the ring as we get replays from the match. Lars stares down at Mendoza, and decides he’s not finished with him yet as he picks Mendoza up, threatening him before Kassius Ohno runs down to make the save. Lars lets go of Mendoza to focus his attention on his opponent at Takeover…and laughs at the Knockout Artist before he heads out of the ring, staring Ohno down as he heads up the ramp. We cut to the office of William Regal as Johnny Gargano, saying he can prove he still belongs and can hang with the guys. Regal agrees, and lets him know about an open challenge that Pete Dunne has issued for a shot at the UK Championship, and Regal thinks Gargano is the perfect man for the job. Gargano takes him up on this, and Regal says that next week the match is on. They shake hands before Gargano walks off, and we go to break.

McIntyre and Almas face off before TakeOver

Back at ringside, Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring to confront Andrade “Cien” Almas. Drew says it’s great when a plan comes together, congratulating Almas and Vega on their plan to get “Cien” a shot at the title at Takeover. Now they’re both in trouble…it’s one thing to ask for the opportunity, but when reality sets in, that’s when you find out what kind of man you truly are because it’s clear what kind of man Drew is! When the lights are on in Houston, will Almas be able to say the same? Vega has been rambling about mountains, but Almas is gonna find out real quick that Drew IS the bloody mountain! Drew asks one more time for Almas to come out and face him man to man. Don’t do it to prove something to me or Vega, do it to prove it to yourself. Come out and face me like a man…unless of course Vega won’t let you off the leash! Andrade’s music hits, but Vega is out on the stage with a big smile on her face. Suddenly, Almas comes storming out taking his suit jacket off as he gets to the ring. Both men trade blows as Drew gets the upper hand…and Vega comes flying off the top turnbuckle, only for Drew to catch her in midair! Drew sets her down as Almas catches the champ with a chop block from behind, before hitting a Hammerlock DDT! Vega picks up the NXT Championship, telling Almas to look at it as they stand tall over the champion to bring the show to a close.
