An injured Sami Zayn and Hideo Itami makes for our first lul in a hot streak of Takeovers. But Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch save the show by putting on an incredibly physical match. The part of Bull Dempsey is now played by Rhyno. And Cass tosses Enzo off while Enzo is unconscious...

We review our final full episode of NXT weekly TV, before we move into our Takeover and special episodes only era in 2025 (and beyond!) We play a lot of our favorite jingles, get a little loose, and one of us derails the episode in favor of aliens and that. Guess who?

We also chat about Kevin Owens vs Adrian Neville, Becky Lynch vs Bayley and a few squatch matches that we've already forgotten. Probably because these drones are sappi...

We've made it to Takeover: R Evolution, a night that sees an 18-month story come to an end, as an old friend emerges to start new problems for Sami Zayn. It's a night of demons, of exceeding expectations and of staying true to yourself. So many classic NXT moments in this one, join us as we revisit a classic.

It's the go-home show for Takeover: R Evolution, and only Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville seem to have remembered. Also Bayley, even though she isn't booked. Finn Balor promises to bring something next week. And Kevin Owens continues to tease his debut at the network special. So we're just kind of edging until next week, will you edge with us?

We get sidetracked with a quiz about aliens, in the middle of a return to bad form for NXT. Not only are storylines not advancing, they're also not making sense. Just two weeks out from R-Evolution. Tyson Kidd and Finn Balor manage to save us a bit in the main event. But Blue Pants has more face heat than Carmella. And Tyler Breeze is telling people they'll never be loved. So yeah, aliens!

...There's micro wrestling on NXT

Sami Zayn makes an offer to Adrian Neville in our main event segment. Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey begin a battle to become NXT's monster. And Charlotte is Bayley's mother, apparently.

Sami Zayn's road to redemption comes to it's final stop, a match with Adrian Neville for the NXT Championship. Alexa Bliss has her best match so far against Sasha Banks. Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake showcase a lot of talent against the Lucha Dragons. And Finn Balor and Hideo Itami team-up to face Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel. Look at all of those classic NXT names. This is one of the best classic episodes of NXT.

Sami Zayn's road to redemption passes through Cuteville, as he faces Tyler Breeze in a number one contender's match for the NXT Championship. The Four Horsewomen mix it up, but not as much as we'd like. And Finn Balor makes his debut alongside Hideo Itami, to stomp the heck out of The Ascension, and look good whilst doing it.

We kick things off with a surprise Tag Team Battle Royal. Carmella and Emma pantomime in a showcase for the former. We get over the final speedbump on Sami Zayn's Road to Redemption, with Sami vs Titus 2. And Justin Gabriel has a stand-out performance, according to one of us at least.

Mojo Rawley gives us the worst acting performance in the history of visual media. Titus O'Neil has yet another main event spot. Hideo Itami still can't figure out how to beat The Ascension 1v2. Sasha Banks and Bayley have their 10th NXT singles match. But hey, at least the tag division is looking strong (well, prolific)

With Titus (Tits) O'Neil being featured in our worst main event yet, we once again return the Doldrums of NXT History. Becky Lynch returning to action and having a good match with Sasha Banks, saves this from being the worst episode of NXT ever. William Regal has a fun interaction with the Certified G's, and Hideo Itami possibly gets a concussion in his 2nd WWE match.

Tyson Kidd gets his last chance match for the NXT Championship. By the way, did we mention this was Tyson Kidd's last chance? The Vaudevillains attempt a heel turn but achieve the opposite. Bayley gets another shot at Charlotte. And Enzo Amore sexually assaults Carmella (in kayfabe).

A main event of Takeover rematch of The Ascension vs The Lucha Dragons, is about the only sliver of light in an otherwise dark episode of NXT. Confused booking runs us in circles, Alexa Bliss and Bayley have some fun. And two title matches are made for next week. At least we got to see Regal being silly backstage.

Titus O'Neil threatens our post-Takeover glow, but only one of us is deluminated. Hideo Itami makes his official in-ring debut, so we shine a little spotlight on his career pre-NXT. Charlotte looks strong and Baron Corbin gets an entrance. Also, aliens!

We're finally here, one of our most cherished NXT memories, THE Fatal 4 Way. But was it as excellent as we remembered? Charlotte continues to step-up in a title defense against the ever-popular Bayley. Also, The Lucha Dragons get their shot at The Ascension. 

KENTA makes his first official WWE appearance. Baron Corbin makes his "NXT debut", despite the fact we've seen this man 8+ times. BullJo settle their rivalry. And we get absolu...

It's time for our Go-Home show for our third (second, technically) Takeover - Takeover: Fatal Foursome. Triple H offers us the most boring booking imaginable, four singles matches and four promos to go with the upcoming fourway. Charlotte also warms up against Alexa Bliss, ahead of her match with Bayley. And the tag-title tournament finals take place, but the winners don't really connect with the crowd.

Plus, we finally say goodbye ...
