As always, NXT TakeOver: Chicago set a very high standard

#1 Worst: Weakest match of the lot

Baszler and Cross just didn't seem to have chemistry

I don't think one can call Shayna Baszler vs. Nikki Cross a bad match. However, on a night of exceptional wrestling, their match just seemed to be the weakest of the lot. I did like how deranged and insane Nikki Cross can be. I also loved how she did not submit but was choked out with a psychotic smile on her face.

That said, this was by far the weakest match in the card. This could well be because it was sandwiched between four exceptional matches.
