Bobby Roode dominated most of 2017 as the NXT Champion, but his biggest challenge would come in the form of Drew McIntyre at Takeover: Brooklyn III. The former Intercontinental Champion was referred to as “The Chosen One” in his previous WWE run but didn’t get to live up to that name until Brooklyn III.

The highlights of the match were Roode hitting McIntyre with a flying neck breaker to the outside, McIntyre launching Roode off the top rope with a suplex, Roode countering a top rope Celtic Cross into a powerbomb, McIntyre hitting a tope con hilo, and Roode countering a tilt-a-whirl maneuver into a Glorious DDT for a near fall.

McIntyre emerged victoriously and finally a major player in WWE, but his spotlight would be stolen by the debut of the Undisputed Era.

A great main event to close out what some consider the best NXT Takeover special of all time.
