Was there not a Tag Team title match between AOP and DIY?
Either time restraints or Ciampa's injury is keeping him out from the match


Or else they are Main Eventing which would be amazing considering how the previous matches have been between tag teams at Takeovers

Possibly not. Apparently WWE had someone in to record new entrance music for Gargano which could point to a split up between the two.
It's funny. WWE is looking for their new "Daniel Bryan" and their tag divisions are all paper thin.

HHH: "Hey, should we promote these guys who came out of nowhere and the fans have pushed completely over?"
Vince: "I've got a better idea. LET'S SPLIT THEM UP!!!"

and then we'll have Randy Orton against someone with the most ripply physique you've ever seen!!!
Jinder Mahall....HU-WOOOWWWW!!!!

Also I agree, AOP are great powerhouse workers. Love the David Goliath story in tag matches more than singles for some reason. Or its just these teams going at it

The funny thing is they did a slow buildup to that over for what? Like a year and a half?

The Higher Power? I believe so. Cannot recall a year and a half long build paying off ever. Sting/Hogan Starcade, Higher Power, not sure the Who Texted Nash legnth was, felt forever. Anonymous GM.

That was a great way to end the night though, that was brutal. Didnt even mind the crowd reactions that much based on the Holy Shit going on

Edit: Crowd Reaction Shots* never pan out the way they hoped or are obnoxious

I remember their initial teamup in the October 2015 Dusty Classic where they were very much booked as a "big brother, little brother" team and have been every since. Everytime they lost I half expected to see a "It's your fault that we lose" heel turn but it just never came. Until tonight of course.

There was a tease at them breaking up like 8 months ago or something, this was before they went on their Title chasing sequence

Ah. Haven't kept up with NXT ever, not sure why. Didn't really get full experience out of that turn, I suppose.

Though was wondering how the turn would go due to what we were saying earlier. Hoping they bring up that sacrificial moment in the match

That last scene before the break up with Ciampa his arm around Gargano consoling him has happened a hundred times before.

I'm watching now. Wasn't too pumped on the NXt title match. But it is pretty good. Best ddt I've seen in years.

I think we're all used to the Takeover's revolving around the big 4 PPV's so when one just pops up it takes us all by surprise.
