NXT TakeOver: WarGames was expected to deliver, and it did exactly that. Right from the beginning with the women's WarGames match to the main event WarGames match between The Undisputed Era and The Kings of NXT, fans were in for a treat with some amazing action.

At the same time, NXT TakeOver: WarGames was not a flawless show and there were certain aspects that could surely have been improved. We saw a new champion being crowned, a Strap match, and a technical masterpiece between Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher.

Unfortunately, with such high-risk action, there is always a risk of someone getting injured, and the same seems to be the case tonight. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates on the possible injuries at the pay-per-view.

#1 Best - Raquel Gonzalez gets the big victory at NXT TakeOver: WarGames

NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 kicked off with the women's WarGames match as Team Shotzi (Shotzi Blackheart, Rhea Ripley, Ember Moon, and Io Shirai) took on Team Candice (Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, Toni Storm, and Raquel Gonzalez). In what was an intense match, the most memorable moment was Io Shirai's leap from the top of the cage with a trash can.

The Black and Gold brand has created some huge Superstars over the years and at NXT TakeOver: WarGames tonight the same was done with Raquel Gonzalez, who pinned Io Shirai to win the match for her team. This happened after she put Shirai through an elevated ladder in the middle of the two rings.

Undoubtedly, that was the biggest win of the career of Raquel Gonzalez, who has impressed throughout this year with her performance. From the looks of it, she might have just become the new No. 1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship.

It will be interesting to see how this affects her alliance with Dakota Kai and whether she can be the one to dethrone Io Shirai as the new NXT Women's Champion. The future looks bright for Raquel Gonzalez.
