The 10 Greatest NXT Takeovers of All Time

#8 Takeover: Toronto (Nov. 19, 2016, Air Canada Centre, the crowd of 12,000+)

An electric night in the Canadian city over Survivor Series weekend in 2016 proved NXT could excel no matter which country they are in. Bobby Roode's spectacular choir-led entrance before his victory over Tye Dillinger, Shane Thorn's (of TM61) amazing steel truss dive onto the Authors of Pain before the latter team snatched the second Dusty Rhodes Tag Team cup and the return of veteran ex-Women's Champion and future Hall of Famer Mickie James in a title match against Asuka were just the beginning.

The spotlight purely belonged to The Revival and DIY as they put on one of the greatest tag team matches in the history of WWE with phenomenal in-ring storytelling and a fist-pump inducing finish as the fan favorite duo of Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa finally won the Championships after a medium-length buildup, leading to a brief tag team renaissance in NXT than spanned almost a year.

Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe closed the night with a quality rematch that surpassed their previous encounter and gave us a surprise ending result, with Samoa Joe winning and becoming the first two-time NXT champion.
