Cover, Walter wins!
Winner: WALTER, by pinfall; still WWE United Kingdom Champion
Walter has the toughest match in his NXT UK career, in this title’s history, and perhaps all of WWE 2019! And still, he reigns atop the UK brand. If Bate couldn’t dethrone him after all this, will anyone ever end the reign of the Ring General?
Imperium is there to greet Walter on the ramp. They all stand together, is it only a matter of time before Imperium completely takes over NXT UK?
As for Tyler Bate, fans still sing for this more-than-superhuman effort. And both Trent Seven and Pete Dunne come out to join him. British Strong Style still stands together, even in defeat. Fans cheer as Dunne and Seven help Bate get to his feet, and then cheers the trio. And the three of them salute with their mustache tweezing sign. Will British Strong Style ever again stand tall in the brand they helped build?
My Thoughts:
What an amazing event. NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff raised the bar on all the rest of the WWE for 2019 and maybe even 2020 already. There was just so much to this. Dar VS Banks was a fun opener and yet it still ends up one of the lesser matches. I was expecting Banks to win but this makes good for Dar now that Dar is more dedicated to NXT UK. Then Cesaro VS Dragunov raised the bar on the entire show, it was such a great match that we got out of nowhere. I was just as surprised to see Cesaro win this match. I really do wonder if this means Cesaro will be sticking around for some UK tapings when he doesn’t have much on Raw or SmackDown to do. At the same time, Ilja has lost to both “Kings of Pro-Wrestling,” the team Cesaro and Kassius Ohno were on the indies. I dare to dream that Ohno and Cesaro will be reunited thanks to NXT UK to go for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships.
And speaking of, that Triple Threat for the tag titles was exactly what it should’ve been, especially with the hometown team winning. I knew that the only way to outdo the Cesaro-Dragunov match in action was to give the fans what they want in their hometown heroes winning, and that’s what happened. It is so great for Andrews and Webster to be the team that makes history like this, and I really wonder where things go from here. Same goes for KLR taking the title off Toni. That was about as expected, too, with a pretty good match that almost killed Cardiff’s enthusiasm. I think when KLR survived Toni’s finisher, the audience understood Toni wasn’t winning. KLR as champ freshens things up a bit, and we know that with Rhea Ripley in NXT USA being Face, it’s probably Piper Niven who wins the “post” UK TakeOver episode and then moves up to face KLR.
The Last Man Standing match was incredible. It was innovative using those less than likely sports equipment items. That cricket bat needs to be the equivalent of the sledgehammer for NXT UK. And then with them going through three tables, I was glad to see that very creative ending. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like taking out the support an opponent was using. Coffey winning might be to extend the feud, because I don’t see him fighting for a title after what we witnessed in the main event. That main event alone, of Tyler Bate being some kind of British superhero in real-life, is what helped TakeOver: Cardiff be this amazing.
Some might think this was too much, but I felt it was just right for Bate. Bate is the Big Strong Boy, the original WWE UK Champion, a perfect David to Walter’s Goliath, and for just a moment there, it felt like he was going to pull it off. But Walter still wins, and though that deflated the crowd for a moment, this feels like the right thing in the end. Dunne’s in NXT USA, and who knows, maybe Moustache Mountain’s destiny is still those NXT UK Tag Team Championships, after a new Heel team gets them. For all we know, maybe all of British Strong Style is going back to NXT USA in time for the live television premiere. Either way, I agree with the Cardiff crowd: #ThankYouTyler.
My Score: 9.7/10

Well, one more “Card Subject to Change.” As if it isn’t already weird that Jon Moxley is willing to work with Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, Our EVPs somehow managed to recruit LFI’s monstrous minotaur to their side! Will having such a behemoth on their side help The Maniac, The Decoder & The Founding Fathers survive the night? Or will The Realest, The Aerial Assassin & the AEW World Trios Champions give us some anarchy in Arena Mexico?
The teams sort out and despite the black eye and bandaged forehead, Ospreay insists he start. His team obliges and the fans cheer him on as he starts against Matt, one of the men responsible for that. The bell rings, and Matt quickly tags out to Mortos. Ospreay and Mortos circle, and Mortos SMACKS Ospreay down! Mortos whips, Ospreay reverses, but Mrotos rolls off Ospreay’s back! Mortos shoves Ospreay to a corner, ELBOWS and LARIATS then GAMANGIRIS! Mortos snapmares and SAMOAN DROPS! Ospreay grits his teeth while Mortos roars. The fans still sing for Ospreay but Mortos runs in at the corner.
Ospreay BOOTS Mortos, runs, but Mortos stops the rana! Mortos brings Ospreay up, Ospreay fires hands then CHOSP! Ospreay whips, Mortos reverses, but Ospreay handsprings to go up and over!

Mortos tags Matt, Matt fires hands and then CATAPULTS Ospreay into Nick’s GAMANGIRI! Then Nick goes up, DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER COMBO! The Bucks taunt Swerve, he runs in to get a GUT BUSTER to the NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO!
The fans boo but The Buck soak it up while doing their classic pose. Matt tags Nick in and they drag Ospreay up. They double whip but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges, and he turns the double hip toss into a DOUBLE ARM-DRAG! Atomic drop and CHOP for Matt, atomic drop and CHOP for Nick! Then CHOP after CHOP for the Bucks! Nick CLAWS the bad eye! The ref reprimands but Matt gives Nick the boost into the RANA! The Bucks soak up more heat and then Nick tags Yuta. Yuta gets even more boos, but then Ospreay BACKDROPS him! Tag to Swerve and the fans fire up! Swerve & Ospreay whip Yuta to the corner!
The fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOSUE! Ospreay ELBOWS Yuta, Swerve UPPERCUTS, then snapmare for Ospreay’s STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Ospreay sits Yuta up while Swerve climbs, FALLING UPPERCUT! And Swerve hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, Swerve brings Yuta up, but Yuta THROWS Swerve by his hair!

The fans fire up as Yuta falls and Moxley is frustrated. Joe covers, TWO! Yuta stays in this for his team, then he JAWBREAKERS Joe away! Yuta hot tags Moxley! The fans boo the Maniac AEW World Champion, but he and Joe fire forearms! The fans rally as the shots go back and forth! Moxley kicks low, flips Joe off, but runs into a SLEEPER!

Winners: The Death Riders, The Young Bucks & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring! Moxley stands his ground, the two get face to face, and now go fist for fist! Yuta gets in but Hangman DECKS him!
Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
