NXT TakeOver XXV notes: TV taping results, Damian Priest

Here are some notes from tonight’s NXT TakeOver XXV, which took place at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

A short vignette aired during the program highlighting Damian Priest’s incoming arrival to NXT television. Formerly Punishment Martinez in ROH, Priest has been working NXT events since last November, when he was signed to a deal. There’s no word of when he’ll be making his debut.

Two matches were taped tonight before TakeOver started. These will likely air on next week’s episode of NXT:

  • Keith Lee defeated Kona Reeves with the ground zero. Lee was said to have gotten a major reaction from the crowd.
  • Mia Yim defeated Bianca Belair via a rope assisted protect ya neck. Match was said to be longer than the previous bout, but not as heated.

NXT’s next TakeOver event will take place the day before SummerSlam on August 10. Their next television tapings will take place on June 12.
