Thank you for joining us tonight, I've been Matthew Wilkinson, goodnight.
Another Takeover event that does not disappoint, great stuff from everyone involved with plenty of great potential moving forward.
That was an incredible move to finish the match, huge way to finish what was a very physical back and forth title match.
Oh My God! A Muscle Buster from the second rope finishes this match and the rivalry, Joe retains.
Great reversal, running on the ropes and using Joe's momentum against him.
It's locked in, the Coquina Clutch is locked as Joe hopes to make him tap.
Coup De Grace! But it's not enough as Joe kicks out.
Joe wastes little time getting back into the match, Muscle Buster! It won him the championship but it wont win him this match right now as Balor kicks out.
Balor hits the Slingblade from the cage, very impressive.
Both men are now trading huge shots to each other and a Pelle Kick from Balor sees them both go down. It's been physical from the start tonight.
The ropes prevent it as Balor tries to climb the cage again, a sharp kick knocks Joe down but he knocks the ropes which makes Balor fall too.
Balor has Joe pinned between the ropes and steel but after several hits the champion avoids it and tries to lock in the Coquina Clutch.
Joe now attempts to climb over the rood but Balor joins him on the top rope and a kick to the back sees both men tumble to the floor.
After another big kick Balor tries to crawl out of the ring but Joe has other ideas.
Wow, huge boot to the face from Joe which looked great. He goes for a pinfall but only gains a 2 count.
Finn tastes the steel as Joe tosses him around the ring and into the metal.
Huge kick by Balor takes Joe out and he begins to climb the cage but joe drags him back before mauling him.
Joe blocks being thrown into the cage and starts throwing shots and chops of his own.
The champion tries to escape early but Balor doesn't allow it and he hits Joe with a flurry of kicks.
Joe slams the door behind him as he is locked in with the Demon.
Here comes the champ!
The Demon climbs the cage and performs his signature pose from the top which was cool to see, the paint work for tonight looks fantastic.
Balor is here in black and white demon mode putting on another excellent entrance as usual.
Neville is watching tonight's main event in the crowd and he gets a great pop. I look forward to him being back.
This feud comes to an end here between Samoa Joe and Finn Balor. It has been built brilliantly and I expect nothing short of a great match inside a steel cage for the first time ever.
Regal then leaves the interview to go into a room with the former TNA star, I guess that means we are one step closer to Roode debuting? We did mention him in our preview earlier on, glad to see him appear.
Regal is interviewed backstage as Bobby Roode walks by!
We have only the main event to come, it's going to be a good one.
Another fun match with Jax proving yet again she belongs in the main event whilst Asuka continues to dominate the division, it's like Bayley is next for her.
Her response is with more kicks to the face, enough to get her the victory as she defends her title!
Some big strikes enrages Jax who screams at Asuka.
Asuka goes for a kick to the face but it is reversed into a powerbomb, the pin attempt is reversed into an arm bar.
Hip attack from Asuka isn't enough to put away Jax.
Jaz is only down for a moment, though, but a dropick from the second ropes knocks her down.
Spinebuster from Jax plants Asuka as she goes (and misses) for the leg drop.
The challenger is now bending the spine of the champion using the steel post to her advantage, Jax is looking dominant here.
Jax uses some agility of her own to avoid a submission then powers out of a triangle choke by throwing Asuka into the turnbuckles.
Asuka locks in the submission that saw Bayley win with in London, Jax instead reverses into a great suplex, huge power move.
The kicks from the champion are not enough at the moment as a huge backbreaker gets a 2 count for Jax.
But Jax catches her and tosses her across the ring like she was a ragdoll.
Asuka using her speed and agility to good effect in the early outgoings.
Huge opportunity for Jax here who seems to improve on a weekly basis, facing one fantastic athlete in Asuka, should be another fun match.
Can Nia Jax end Asuka's undefeated streak and become the new champion in the process? Let's find out, next.
Aries may have lost but he walks out looking stronger than before.
Kinshasa! Nakamura gets the win after an amazing match, both men putting it all out there.
Aries dives through the ropes again but Nakamura moves and allows his opponent to go crashing into the gates.
Huge blows are now being exchanged on the outside with Nakamura getting the upperhand until Aries catches Nakamura and drops him neck first onto the ring apron, wow nasty bump, great work.
High risk misses but he rolls through and counters with a great ear clap, he is reversing everything here.
The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived is going to the top rope now after a dropkick.
Both men are exhausted here, it's been a great match so far.
Aries reverses Nakamura's finisher and locks in the Last Chancery as he tries to make Nakamura tap.
Nakamura locks in the triangle choke but Aries gets his foot on the ropes before receiving two huge knees to the head, everything looks so legitimate.
A huge punch of his own from Aries knocks Nakamura to the floor as he dives through the bottom ropes to take out Nakamura.
Aries takes another knee to the mid-section whilst being hoisted on the top ropes, it is a target for Nakamura and he is finding it everytime.
A big kick by Nakamura gives him a second of breathing room before hitting more chops and kicks that Aries cannot handle.
AA's tactics are working to perfection so far here.
Elbow to the back of the neck from the second rope by AA before locking in a submission, slowing the pace down as he tries to dictate what is happening in the ring.
Austin Aries now gets in some shots of his own, focusing on the legs of the King of Strong Style, smart move.
Some big knees to the injured mid-section of A Double to take charge early on.
Both men are feeling the situation out as they taunt each other and get a few early shots on each other.
The crowd is red hot for this one.
The bell has rung, here we go.
Now it's Nakamura's turn to make an entrance and boy does he know how! Crowd sing along to every part of his song.
Austin Aries enters first and has his stomach strapped up, potential injury?
Up next- Who is the best? Shinsuke Nakamura or Austin Aries? Well, we are about to find out as this dream match is taking place NOW! Strap yourselves in, this one is going to be one hell of a ride.
Backstage Bayley wishes Asuka good luck in her match later tonight.
I don't think anyone saw Paul Ellering appearing did they? Awesome moment and shows once again how NXT are developing talent.
The former Legions of Doom manager appears with the tag team, he seems to be in control of it all.
Post match and both Gable and Jordan are being taken out by two huge monstrous men, they man handle both Jordan and Gable.
That was an amazing match, the chemistry these guys have together is superb, I look forward to seeing them do battle again.

Yet again Dawson cuts the ring in half but Gable crawls under the legs of both men and the tag is made.
Gable locks in an armbar on the ropes before tossing Wilder out of the ring, but Dawson tags in and yet more work behind the officials back almost see's The Revival get the win.

Wilder rakes the eyes behind the officials back and in comes Dawson to pick up the pieces.
Amazing work by all four men which ends in American Alpha locking in two ankle locks, now Jordan is back in charge with an arm lock.

Welcome everyone to VAVEL's live coverage for NXT Takeover: The End, we open with a package looking back at past stars who have had success in NXT.
Overall this is another really strong card for tonight's Takeover and it should be another great night of wrestling, so follow along for live minute-by-minute commentary and results as NXT continue to take over. should be another great night of wrestling, so follow along for live minute-by-minute commentary and results as NXT continue to take over.
The final match in one of NXT's most fierce feud takes place tonight as Samoa Joe and Finn Balor fight inside NXT's first ever steel cage match. Every fight between the two has been a war and once they are both locked inside the steel cage there will be no escape as Joe and Balor attempt to bring an end to their feud. Both men are desperate to be the NXT Champion whilst rumors circulate about their futures the losers prize could be a main roster push.
NXT Championship Steel Cage Match- Samoa Joe (c) - Finn Balor
In what is basically an unconfirmed number one contenders match two of NXT's top talent will go head to head in a bid to prove they are the best. Shinsuke Nakamura vs Austin Aries is a dream match for wrestling fans who have been hoping to see two of the greatest wrestlers on the planet go toe to toe and tonight is that night. In what is perhaps the most difficult to predict match of the night it also has the potential to be the match of the night.
Austin Aries - Shinsuke Nakamura
NXT love to keep the fans on their toes and have been known to constantly keep the roster fresh rotating stars coming in as others leave. If rumors are to be believed then the NXT roster will be picked at when the brand split comes which means there are voids to be filled. This means there is room for a surprise or two this evening and I believe we could see both a return and a debut. Ever since Dallas fans have been patiently waiting for Bobby Roode to make an appearance and after WWE UK's Twitter accidently leaked him for next week's NXT tour (before quickly removing him again) this seems like a good time to bring him in. Another possible surprise could be in the form of Hideo Itami. He has been out with injury for over a year now and is expected back sometime this month, what better way to return than a Takeover event?
Possible surprises?
Coming out of NXT Takeover:Dallas this isn't the match that most fans expected for the next Takeover event, with most people hoping Bayley would get her rematch. Well, NXT have gone a different way having Nia Jax challenge for the belt for a second time, this time against Asuka. Jax has been built like a monster ever since her debut and even after being beaten by Bayley she has come back just as strong, especially since she 'injured' the former champion. However, Asuka won't simply roll over here as the Japanese starlet looks to keep hold of her championship. Both women have shown they are not intimidated by the other which makes a first for a match involving Nia Jax and that should make for an interesting match. Asuka will be forced to carry the greener Jax but she will do so with violent strikes and kicks as the powerhouse hopes to use her size and strength to finally pick up the title.
NXT Women's Championship Match- Asuka (c) - Nia Jax
The first championship match in this preview and the match that could very well open the show as they did in Dallas to set the pace and the standard. Two of WWE's very best tag teams facing each other for the gold is something that all fans should be excited to see but add in the heat and tension that has been brewing since WrestleMania weekend and this one is just about at boiling point. Both teams are ready for the main roster and could easily find themselves involved in the Brand Split later on in the Summer but for now, they will all be looking to steal the show in what should be a back and forth match that showcases everyone involved.
NXT Tag Team Championship Match- American Alpha (c) - The Revival
We start the preview with the debuting superstar. Over the past few weeks, fans have been treated to clips teasing Andrade “Cien” Almas and tonight will see him debut at Full Sail in front of the NXT Universe. However, it won't be an easy introduction as he faces the Perfect 10 who has been begging William Regal for the opportunity to perform at tonight's show and is, therefore, ready for the occasion. Fans have seen Tye Dillinger be used in this way before as he was the first opponent for Apollo Crews but his character has evolved since then and he is one of the most popular stars on the roster. Yet the debuting Almas comes to NXT with a pedigree and a reputation having wrestled in New Japan Pro Wrestling under the name (and mask) of La Sombra and fans are excited to see the luchador finally step foot into the WWE world in what should be a fast-paced and thrilling match.
Tye Dillinger - Andrade “Cien” Almas
Takeovers have come to be a rather big deal in the world of professional wrestling haven't they? Well, this one is no different with another stacked card of dream matches that have been well built up with good simple storytelling, something NXT has become very good at. Takeover:The End has three championship matches and a debut of a brand new superstar which means there is plenty on the line for this show for the fans to get invested into.
Welcome everyone to VAVEL USA's live coverage for NXT Takeover:The End, my name is Matthew Wilkinson and I'll be providing minute-by-minute updates on all the action from tonight's show.
