NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II: The LIVE Recap

During the pre-show, Bobby Roode says New York City is his kind of town, while Brooklyn is more like "the armpit of New York City," saying it stinks and it is a dump. He says he'd rather be in Manhattan. He says that he will take NXT to the next level...and it will be glorious.

Billie Kay says NXT TakeOver is where newcomers come in and make a statement. She says Ember Moon's statement will be "I am a loser," and that she will prove she is the face of the NXT Women's Division and the next NXT Women's Champion.

Austin Aries beats No Way Jose with a sunset flip powerbomb floated over into a Last Chancery. Austin Aries puts No Way Jose in the Last Chancery again, and Hideo Itami shows up in a suit. Aries fights him, but Hideo strikes back and eventually puts Aries in the GTS...and nails him with it.
