NXT Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over Walter vs Tommaso Ciampa TakeOver Match

It was apparent that one of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver's marquee matchups was Walter vs Tommaso Ciampa, and it did not disappoint in the least. In fact, it soared well past expectations, and fans couldn't get enough of the match's impressive physicality, of which there was quite a bit. Walter more than lived up to his reputation, and Ciampa was in amazing shape, delivering what some are calling a match of the year contender, and we're only in April. Fans had a lot to say about the match, and you can see what they're saying starting. on the next slide.

Ciampa had Walter on the ropes several times and seemed to push the NXT UK Champion to his limits several times throughout the match. Unfortunately, Walter pulled out the win and retains his Championship.

What ends up being the #NXTTakeOver match of the night? (and yes I would've included all 6 but Twitter doesn't allow 6 in a poll)

That said, some are asking for a full feud between the two instead of a one-off, and after seeing what they delivered in the ring during tonight's TakeOver, it's hard to argue with that request. If these two want to battle it out in the future, sign us up.
