WWE NXT TakeOver 36 full live results and highlights
By Scott Rogust
Check out the official results and highlights from NXT TakeOver 36.
On Sunday, a full 24 hours removed from an eventful SummerSlam, NXT TakeOver 36 takes place live from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Fla. The card has all the makings of being one of the best in WWE this year.
The card will feature four championship matches. Karrion Kross, who made his RAW debut recently, defends his NXT Championship against Samoa Joe. NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez puts her title on the line against former tag team partner Dakota Kai. Walter looks to extend his NXT UK Championship reign by defeating Ilja Dragunov. Finally, Cameron Grimes looks to win the Million Dollar Championship from L.A. Knight.
Additionally, former Undisputed Era stablemates Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly do battle in what should be an epic a two-out-of-three falls match.
