NXT s Johnny Gargano Retains at TakeOver: Stand and Deliver
✖
Tonight s Championship lineup included Johnny Gargano defending his North American Championship against the winner of the Eliminator Gauntlet match. That ended up being Bronson Reed, and their match was as good as expected. Early on it was all Reed, but Gargano managed to avoid several of his attacks, though Reed stopped the show when he pulled a Bam Bam Bigelow and avoided Gargano with an amazing cartwheel. Reed got Gargano in the corner and lifted him up but Gargano hit Reed with elbows and a charge to his chest and ribs, and Reed was feeling it.
NXT s Shotzi Blackheart Reveals Joker Gear at TakeOver: Stand and Deliver
✖
During tonight s loaded TakeOver: Stand & Deliver card, Women s Tag Team Champions Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon defended their titles against The Way s Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell, and since it was a special occasion everyone got dressed up for it. Hartwell and LeRae wore their slick superhero-style costumes from their Avengers and Fantastic Four artwork, but Blackheart went for a more villainous look, revealing gear that seemed to be themed after The Joker.
The biggest hint of this was in the hair and makeup. Blackheart s hair is always green, but the way it was styled gave it a Joker flair. The makeup also looked very Joker with a design around the eyes that was reminiscent of the recent Joker movie, and the gear also happened to be primarily purple and green.
