#8 - Bayley vs Sasha Banks - Ironman match
After the success of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, Bayley and Sasha Banks would once again compete but this time it would be in the first ever female 30-minute Ironman match. It would also be the first time that a Women’s match would headline a WWE pay-per-view in NXT.
This was possibly the most anticipated Women’s match in history and certainly lived up to the hype.
Sasha Banks’ heel work in this match was particularly good, she was unsympathetic and aggressive and would even make Bayley’s superfan, Izzy, cry at ringside after stealing her hairband. Is it wrong that I enjoyed seeing that so much?
The drama in the match continued right up to the end when Bayley would get the decisive fall with just seconds remaining.
The way both women were treated post-match by not just the fans but the entire NXT roster, who came out to the stage to give them a standing ovation, made this a special moment and everyone watching would have felt like they had just witnessed history.
