5 Best NXT Matches of 2018

#2 North American Championship Six Man Ladder Match (NXT Takeover: New Orleans)

That man flying through the air is not human.

I wondered if Ricochet would live up to the unbelievable hype in his first NXT match. I would say once he did that flip off the ladder as it was falling the answer was quite clear. Ricochet simply isn’t human.

This might be my favourite ladder matches ever. It was unreal in terms of the punishment and creativity that the six competitors in this match were able to pull off. Take the example of EC3. I don’t know how he was standing after all the stiff ladder punishment he took.

You could have a laundry list of amazing spots that occurred in New Orleans. The Velveteen Dream doing an elbow drop from the top of a ladder. Lars Sullivan and Killian Dain destroying the other four through multiple ladders. Ricochet turning a fall off a ladder into a moonsault mid-way.

Adam Cole may have won the NXT North American Championship but the way all six stole the night, this would have been the match of the year in most years. But, this wasn’t most years.
