It is now customary for NXT Takeover to have five great matches. Very rarely do we see a bust of a match on these shows. But what makes this show stand out from others? Every match told different stories and was booked to perfection.

They all were of a certain standard that is pretty impossible to meet, in terms of every match on a wrestling show. It was consistent from start to finish. The tag title opener was the perfect choice to kick things off on a killer note. It was followed by an intense Matt Riddle vs Velveteen Dream match, which got better as it went on.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

After that, we got the previously mentioned United Kingdom Championship match. It went for over 25 minutes and provided the women's 4-way with the tough task of following such a match.

It was a fun fast-paced match, but might just be the weakest of the night. That just shows how amazing this show was. And then we had the main event, which was as good as the hype surrounding it. And that says a lot. The consistency of this show makes it stand out from the likes of Takeover New Orleans which has been regarded as the best one till date.
