#4 NXT North American Championship Ladder Match: Lars Sullivan vs. Killian Dain vs. EC3 vs. Velveteen Dream vs. Adam Cole vs. Ricochet, NXT Takeover: New Orleans
At WrestleMania 10; Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon introduced the ladder match into the mainstream of Pro Wrestling and pulled off unimaginable feats.
A few years later, three tag teams innovated the concept with their daredevil attitude. Despite a rich concept in the Money in the Bank, the ladder match really hasn't been anything fresh beyond some exciting spots and matches.
NXT proved one thing that WWE just hasn't been able to do, with multi-participant ladder matches WWE tends to let the archetypes and one single story to speak for itself.
In NXT, however, we get six different individuals who get their own moments to shine and a signal of the myriad of stories told around them.
So the two monsters aren't just brawling for a showcase; Lars is defining his solo path of destruction and Dain is proving he is a figure of mystique and mayhem with or without Sanity.
For EC3 this means showing what a manipulative figure he can become, while fellow debutant Ricochet dazzles as the future face of NXT.
Dream puts a stamp on his position on the roster and Adam Cole finally shocks the system!
Result: Adam Cole snatches the title to win and become the FIRST NXT North American Champion!
