NXT TakeOver: Dallas took place during WrestleMania 32 weekend and featured some of the most memorable matches in NXT history. The most anticipated of the night had to be the NXT debut of former NJPW top star, Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura faced NXT's top babyface and underdog Sami Zayn. The entrance for Nakamura had fans on their feet in anticipation even more. This contest lived up to all the expectations with the two men having an exhilarating and innovative contest that stole the entire Mania weekend. The King of Strong Style was victorious with the Kinshasa Knee Strike over Zayn.

This match was not the only to rock the house in Dallas though. Asuka's legendary 510-day NXT Women's Title reign started at this NXT TakeOver with her win over Bayley for the title. This encounter proved to be one of the best in the history of the title as well. The underdog champion facing the relentless dominance of the challenger made for an amazing dynamic. This was an encounter that elevated the title and entire card, but another match that did this was the NXT Tag Team Titles match as well.

American Alpha completed their journey by defeating The Revival to win the NXT Tag Team Championships. Another awesome contest on NXT TakeOver: Dallas stuck out from the pack with the two teams creating quite the atmosphere with incredible sequences and tag team maneuvers. They created magic in what was The Revival's first true breakout performance on NXT TakeOver.

The main event of the night featured Finn Balor defending the NXT Championship against his former partner, Samoa Joe. In a rematch from NXT TakeOver: London, the two men delivered a worthy main event. This match was intense and proved to be brutal with Joe shedding blood within the opening minutes of this contest. The conclusion came with Joe locking on the Coquina Clutch, which Balor reversed for the pin and win.

In what was the shortest match of the night, Austin Aries made his NXT Takeover debut, facing Baron Corbin. Aries pulled out the win over the younger, yet intimidating Lone Wolf. All in all, this NXT Takeover: Dallas proved to be one of the best cards in NXT history.
