With NXT TakeOver: London coming up and there being almost a year and a half of TakeOver events so far, I figured now would be a good time to do this. I rank what I consider to be the ten best matches at TakeOver events. I am not including NXT ArRival because, while being a WWE Network Special, wasn't under the TakeOver name. Also, Beast in the East's NXT Title match will not be included either. Check out the writeups here, kevstaaaprowrestling.blogspot.com/Here's the short list. 10. Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze – TakeOver 5/29/14 9. NXT Championship Ladder Match: Finn Balor (c) vs. Kevin Owens – TakeOver: Brooklyn 8/22/15 8. NXT Women’s Championship: Charlotte (c) vs. Bayley vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks – Takeover: Rival 2/11/15 7. Number One Contender’s Tournament Finals: Adrian Neville vs. Finn Balor – TakeOver: Rival 2/11/15 6. NXT Championship: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Kevin Owens – TakeOver: Rival 2/11/15 5. NXT Women’s Championship: Sasha Banks (c) vs. Becky Lynch – TakeOver: Unstoppable 5/20/15 4. NXT Women’s Championship Ironman Match: Bayley (c) vs. Sasha Banks – TakeOver: Respect 10/7/15 3. NXT Championship: Adrian Neville (c) vs. Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze vs. Tyson Kidd – TakeOver: Fatal-4-Way 9/11/14 (matthardyv1 will appreciate the love for this one) 2. NXT Championship: Adrian Neville (c) vs. Sami Zayn – TakeOver: R-Evolution 12/11/14 1. NXT Women’s Championship: Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bayley – TakeOver: Brooklyn 8/22/15

Some things I agree with, others I don't. Here is mine. I kind of went back-and-fourth on whether I wanted to put Natty vs Charlotte or Zayn vs Breeze in that 10 spot. I think they were equally as good from that show. Big hole for me is the Ironman match. Not in my top 10. I've rewatched it a couple times now and it's not as good as either of the tag team semi final matches on that same show imo. There was too much going on. Sasha had her moment with Izzy, and that was great, but the actual match quality wasn't anywhere close to what they did before. I get that people love Bayley, but Sasha's best chemistry is, unquestionably, with Becky Lynch imo. I wish they would have gotten to finish their feud and they would have waited on the "Divas Revolution" stuff. Sasha breaking character, again, still bothers me too. 1. Sami vs Neville - R Evolution 2. Owens vs Zayn - Rival 3. Owens vs Balor - Brooklyn 4. Becky vs Sasha - Unstoppable 5. Balor vs Neville - Rival 6. Bayley vs Sasha - Brooklyn 7. Cesaro vs Sami - Arrival 8. Neville vs Zayn vs Kidd vs Breeze - F4W 9. Sasha vs Becky vs Bayley vs Charlotte - Rival 10. Zayn vs Breeze - TakeOver My favorite NXT match to-date but it wasn't at a TakeOver event.

Haha it happens. Genuinely a phenomenal match though. If you're going to go to bat over a non TakeOver NXT match, that's the one to do it over.

It all makes sense now haha. I just always considered Arrival as the first TakeOver, even though it didn't include the name.
