NoSo Takeover returns as JT, Aaron and Jenny break down the long-awaited return of one of wrestling’s most brutal concepts at NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2017 (November 18, 2017).

For the first time under the WWE banner, WarGames is reborn in NXT, featuring an all-out war between The Undisputed Era, SAnitY, and The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong inside the double cage. The crew dives into how the match lived up to the legacy, the chaos inside the structure, and how Adam Cole and The Undisputed Era cemented themselves as the top faction in NXT.

In the main event, Drew McIntyre defends the NXT Championship against Andrade “Cien” Almas, with Zelina Vega playing a crucial role in one of the biggest title changes in TakeOver history. JT, Aaron and Jenny break down Almas’ breakout moment and what it meant for NXT moving forward.

Plus, the show covers: • Aleister Black vs. The Velveteen Dream in a star-making performance for both men • Ember Moon vs. Kairi Sane for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship • The evolution of NXT storytelling and TakeOver’s continued reputation for delivering elite in-ring action

From match quality to long-term impact, the crew analyzes every key moment from a show that helped redefine modern NXT.

Was this a worthy return for WarGames? Did it live up to the legacy? And where does this TakeOver rank all-time?
