Six Biggest Takeaways From NXT TakeOver: XXX

5. Tommaso Ciampa Returns This Wednesday

In one of the advertisements during the show, it was made official that Tommaso Ciampa will make his long awaited return to NXT this Wednesday.

I say “long awaited”, but he only went absent after In Your House when he got crushed by Karrion Kross.

This return will open up many options. Will he challenge Kross for the NXT Championship? Maybe he wants a shot at Randy Orton, which was heavily rumoured a few weeks ago? Whatever they do, I want more of the ‘Blackjeart’.

6. Karrion Kross Wins NXT Championship

In a pretty good main event, Karrion Kross beat Keith Lee for the NXT Championship.

He has been built up strongly for the title since debuting so this is great news.

It was reported that he sustained an injury during the match. So hopefully he doesn’t have to cut this dominant reign short.

Speaking of Keith Lee, I can see him moving up to the main roster and being an excellent addition to the Thunderdome.
