Nation Of Animation: #NXTTakeover :Unstoppable

Once again, NXT delivered with NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. The best way to see how great this show was is to check it out on the WWE Network. But if you’re still a hold out, you can check out our recap of NXT Takeover: Unstoppable through ANIMATED GIFS!

We kicked off NXT Takeover with some bad news. Hideo Itami is injured and out indefinitely. Which means Tyler Breeze vs. Finn Balor is now a one-on-one match for the number one contendership.

Kevin Owens 'that's a shame' walking past Hideo at the beginning of #NXTTakeOver was glorious.

Match 01: Tyler Breeze vs. Finn Balor

Both Tyler Breeze and Finn Balor debuted new looks for their entrances.

They're modeling Tyler Breeze gear? Does this mean they're gonna start selling Tyler Breeze hoodies? #NXTTakeOver

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

Oh snap, that Tyler Breeze entrance was amazing! #NXTTakeOver

— Zak Kinsella (@ZakKinsella) May 21, 2015

Tyler Breeze's entrance FTW. -TG #NXTTakeOver

— Answering the Ten Count (@Answertheten) May 21, 2015

Tyler Breeze is such a pimp, he has women who are his selfie sticks.

— Crypt Flair  (@JaimsVanDerBeek) May 21, 2015

What's that? Finn Balor is evolving? Congratulations your Finn Balor evolved into Ricky the Dragon Steamboat #NXTTakeOver

God damn it, Balor keeps upping his entrance EVERY SINGLE TIME

— Randy (@Raaaaaaaandyyy) May 21, 2015

And Finn Balor's entrance is cooler than a number of Wrestlemanias from top to bottom..#NXTTakeOver

— Tom. (@NotThatTomGreen) May 21, 2015

It was a competitive match.

But Finn Balor picked up the win.

Great match from Balor and Breeze. #NXTTakeOver

— Jabot (@Jabotism) May 21, 2015

Just like in a horror movie, the pretty person goes outside to check out the commotion and then the demon destroys him. #NXTTakeOver

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

Match 02: Dana Brooke and Evil Emma vs. Charlotte and Bayley

Emma completed her transition into Evil Emma

EVIL EMMA #NXTTakeOver

— Ben (@BigBen213) May 21, 2015

Emma looking extra evil tonight. I like it.

— Cartoon Dave (@DaveMuscarella) May 21, 2015

Emma. What has happened to you? 😦 #NXTTakeOver

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

Does anyone else miss @EmmaWWE's dancing? No? Just @KeepItFiveStar? Okay. Carry on. #NXTTakeOver pic.twitter.com/XN6ZdbZhwB

— SiriusXM Busted Open (@BustedOpenRadio) May 21, 2015

But Charlotte and Bayley were extra positive to balance out all that evil.

Bayley is a professional hugger? Is that one of those weird Brooklyn start-up businesses like the adult preschool? #NXTTakeOver

— Tom. (@NotThatTomGreen) May 21, 2015

Bayley channeled her inner Sami Zayn.

Nice drop kick by Bayley #NXTTakeOverUnstoppable

— Justin Wrestling Number 2 (@NXTWWEGuy) May 21, 2015

While Charlotte channeled her inner Arn Anderson.

Charlotte and that double DDT. Brilliance. #NXT #NXTTakeOver #Unstoppable

— CeeForBaby (@CeeForever) May 21, 2015

Hopefully Charlotte made Emma hit her head so hard that she forgets the past few months then goes back to dancing. #NXTTakeOver

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

And Charlotte and Bayley ended up victorious.

Bayley doing the Flair strut just made my night

— Randy (@Raaaaaaaandyyy) May 21, 2015

Match 03: Rhyno vs. Baron Corbin

It's Rhyno vs. Corbin Reigns. #NXTTakeOver

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

Baron Corbin won. This is the only gif available. Next match, please.

I thought Baron Corbin and Rhyno had a very good match

So Blake and Murphy are STILL NXT Tag Champions and Alexa Bliss is evil.

It's always the adorable ones that are evil….@AlexaBliss_WWE. #NXTTakeOver

— SiriusXM Busted Open (@BustedOpenRadio) May 21, 2015

Sasha Banks worked on Becky Lynch’s arm.

https://twitter.com/WellYoureWrong/status/601196616557559809

But Becky Lynch fought back, channeling her inner British Bulldog.

https://twitter.com/WoodhullSteven/status/601198642029006850

Becky Lynch displayed some arm work of her own.

Now it's Becky's turn to damage Sasha's arm. #NXTTakeOver

— Simon Leclerc (@TheSimonLeclerc) May 21, 2015

Becky Lynch is destroying Sasha Banks like never before. She's also working on Sasha's arm as well. OH DEAR LORD. #NXTTakeover

— PrinceWatercress (@PrinceWatercres) May 21, 2015

But that didn’t stop Sasha Banks.

Until it DID stop Sasha Banks..

https://twitter.com/iAmKelsey91/status/601271646578552832

This match has been insane! #DivasTakeover

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

But Sasha Banks was able to retain her NXT Women’s Championship!

https://twitter.com/MissDaniBaby/status/601198800590385152

Sasha vs. Becky was great.

— 💫 (@gocalldapolice) May 21, 2015

Becky and Sasha were incredible. I'll take more of this and less of whatever is happening on Raw.

— Final Girl (Shay) (@MsSuperVillain) May 21, 2015

I'm really tearing up. That was beautiful.

https://twitter.com/NerdMantra/status/601199484211732481

Rarely can I put classy and NXT crowd in the same sentence, but that was classy of the NXT Crowd to cheer Becky Lynch. #NXTTakeOver

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) May 21, 2015

And now time for the MAIN EVENT!

Match 06: NXT Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens

NXT Champion, Kevin Owens, continued to mock John Cena

https://twitter.com/DSpenceCantLose/status/601201365294174209

While Sami Zayn was focused on revenge.

https://twitter.com/grapplekitty/status/601200618720591872

Sami Zayn took Kevin Owens to Suplex City.

— Morgan Green (@Morgan_Green) May 21, 2015

https://twitter.com/XtremeRocker123/status/601203501188980737

But Kevin Owens didn’t stay there for very long.

HOLY CRAP!!!! POP UP POWERBOMB ON THE APRON! OUCH!

Hopefully Sami Zayn can continue! Don't want this match to end yet. #ZaynOwens2

— SiriusXM Busted Open (@BustedOpenRadio) May 21, 2015

The referees stopped the match, but Kevin Owens continued the assault until William Regal got involved.

OH SNAP REGAL #NXTTakeOver

But then Kevin Owens headbutted William Regal.
