As always, NXT TakeOver: Chicago set a very high standard
#2 Best: A battle of minds

This match was a winner even before the bell rang
Most wrestling fans know that Ricochet wrestled as Prince Puma for Lucha Underground. To get into his head, The Velveteen Dream paid a little tribute to the Prince. This was a deft touch that set the tone for the remaining contest.

The match itself was absolutely incredible. Both men performed each other's moves and told an incredible story of two hungry performers aiming for the very top spot. One that I'm sure will be theirs very soon.
If not for Ciampa vs. Gargano, this would be the best match of the night. I wonder if Ricochet's win elevates him for title contention, presumably for the North American Championship in the near future.
