#4 DIY vs. The Revival 2 Out Of 3 Falls (NXT TakeOver: Toronto 2016)

A classic from NXT
A classic from NXT

A wonderfully heart-warming chapter in what was, and still is WWE’s best-told rivalry of the modern era. As DIY, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa went into this match with The Revival with what looked like their final shot at getting their hands on the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Having come through The Cruiserweight Classic and gotten over their early differences to form DIY, Gargano and Ciampa played the role of plucky babyfaces expertly as The Revival controlled the match by living up to their old-school personas and cutting the ring in half.

The crescendo though is why this match was named Match of the Year by WWE. With Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson simultaneously tapping out to submission manoeuvres from Gargano and Ciampa and the new champions sitting side-by-side in the middle of the ring, this time in celebration at finally reaching the top of the NXT Tag Team mountain. Yet, so much more to come in the pair's epic WWE journey.
