WrestleNewz brings you live play-by-play coverage of tonight’s NXT Takeover: Phoenix broadcast. Be sure to also join us on Twitter. The main show is at 7 PM EST and features four title matches and a rematch from the previous Takeover card.
NXT Tag Team Championship: The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong) vs. War Raiders (Hanson & Rowe)
Plenty of double team work by everyone. Hanson misses a cannonball to the outside and Rowe is on his own for a bit. War Raiders nearly get the win on several occasions and the crowd is loving the match. High low from Strong & O’Reilly only gets a two count. The second misses and War Raiders hit their finish to capture the titles from Undisputed Era.
