New Delhi:
There's a reason why NXT has branched out as one of the most popular brands of WWE. The black and yellow brand conducted its latest live special on the WWE network Takeover: New Orleans and it was nothing short of a blockbuster affair.
WWE's development territory featured a well-stacked card with some interesting matches, and all of them delivered. The event started with the six-man ladder match for the NXT North American Championship, a contest which went on for over 30 minutes.
Six NXT superstars EC3, Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole, Lars Sullivan, Ricochet and Killian Dain competed in the high-octane opening match. The leader of Undisputed Era Adam Cole won the thrilling match to become the inaugural NXT North American champion.

WWE female superstars are taking things to a different level and it was evident in the title match between Ember Moon and Shayna Baszler. The Queen of Spades took on the current NXT women's champion Ember Moon for her title at NXT Takeover.
The match proved why women in WWE are ready to main-event Wrestlemania. Ember Moon attempted an eclipse on Shayna but the former mixed martial arts fighter turned it into a submission hold.
Shayna Baszler defeated Moon by knockout to win her first gold in WWE's development territory.
