For the first time at a Takeover event in Brooklyn, the merchandise stands are also selling Summerslam and main roster talent shirts and merchandise. That is somewhat surprising since those sales will cannibalize the NXT merchandise on a show that features no main roster talents.

The backstage segments with Kurt Angle and Shinsuke Nakamura were broadcast live to the fans in attendance

When Baron Corbin was brought through the crowd, the crowd chanted “You f***ed up” in regard to his failed MITB cash in.

Nigel McGuinness and Mauro Ranallo each received massive pops when they were introduced to the live crowd. Percy Watson, not so much.
