3 reason why NXT TakeOver Brooklyn 4 was better than SummerSlam 

Much has been said about the kind of support and love that NXT is garnering in the last few years. What started as a developmental arena has come a long way from being just that. The recently concluded NXT TakeOver Brooklyn 4 heaped lots of praises from worldwide. Stone Cold Steve Austin was all praises about the NXT TakeOver 4 and even tweeted about Adam Cole's and Ricochet's North American Title bout. This comes after the fact that NXT has time and again showed better matches and interesting rivalries, to begin with. WWE, on the other hand, is losing all the interest that it once had, courtesy of the dropping TV ratings.

Ricochet vs Adam Cole

SummerSlam was amazing and without a doubt had some amazing matches featuring the top stars of WWE. But it was below par when compared to the kind of spectacle that NXT TakeOver Brooklyn 4 treated its audience with. SummerSlam was great but it had its fair share of problems. We take a look at 5 reasons why NXT TakeOver Brooklyn 4 had an upper hand against SummerSlam 2018.

#3 Great Tag-Team Division

One has to admit that the Tag Team Championship matches at SummerSlam were nothing but disappointment. The Revival which did inimitable during their NXT run lost to a team which still hasn't found fan approval. The B Team is similar to Jinder Mahal being given the WWE Championship title. It just doesn't fit even if the push is necessary. It seems like Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are being paid back with a nice gesture from Vince McMahon for their more than a year run as jobbers for The Miz in Miztourage.

The Undisputed Era

The New Day vs Bludgeon Brothers could have been an amazing match if the outcome had been either via pinfall or submission. A DQ win just didn't make sense. But it indeed made sure that The Bludgeon Brothers still haven't lost a match by pinfall or submission.

NXT TakeOver Brooklyn 4 saw The Undisputed Era take on the Moustache Mountain. The match was a sheer sign of brilliance and in-ring performance from both the teams. There were many breathtaking moments and saw the audience chanting "This is Awesome" almost all throughout the match.

#2 Better results

The New Universal Champion

Nobody minds being at the opposite end of the result they predicted, but a good result counts. The Miz vs Daniel Bryan and Braun Strowman vs Kevin Owens just did not go the way one would have predicted.

While that's okay, but a PPV has to be something more than that. Both of these fights felt like SmackDown and RAW segments of 'results gone wrong'. Many predicted that Kevin Owens might take the briefcase home or at least give a great fight after being manhandled from the monster for months now.

AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe and Tommaso Ciampa vs Johny Gargano also had similar endings but only after a lengthy period of in-ring performances accompanied by breathtaking moments and inimitable moves. TakeOver received an amazing crowd response, something which the WWE Universe failed in delivering.

#1 Great Matches

NXT Championship Match

Much has been said about Adam Cole vs Ricochet, The Tag Team Match between The Undisputed Era and Moustache Mountain, Tommaso Ciampa vs Johny Gargano and all the other matches. Each lasting for almost fifteen minutes on an average with the NXT Championship match being an exception.

NXT did great with their talent and used every minute to their advantage. From using the stage and the props, NXT managed to achieve the impossible.

SummerSlam, on the other hand, had some weak moments. Except for a very few matches, the rest was easy to predict and was almost one-sided.
