Episode Notes

NXT continued its build to what's shaping up as a strong TakeOver: 36 card, while AEW delivered yet again with the special Fight for the Fallen edition of Dynamite. Host Adam Silverstein -- live on vacation this week -- breaks down both shows. "The Silver King" starts with NXT where highlights include the simple but exceptionally effective build to Karrion Kross vs. Samoa Joe, Dakota Kai turning on Raquel Gonzalez, Adam Cole vs. Bronson Reed and the return of Ridge Holland. Next up is AEW [14:15], which subverted expectations by having "Hangman" Adam Page (and the Dark Order) lose to Kenny Omega (and The Elite), delivered a no-rules main event between Chris Jericho and Nick Gage, set the stage for C.M. Punk's potential debut, and introduced a potential Jon Moxley vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi dream match. Follow Getting Over on Twitter @GettingOverCast.
