Match of the Year: The Revival vs. #DIY at Takeover: Toronto
2016 was a heck of a year for tag team wrestling in NXT. No match summed up the tag divisions success more than the 2 out of 3 Falls match between The Revival and #DIY at NXT Takeover: Toronto.
The match beat out several other matches for the award, including several marquee main event matches. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Samoa Joe at Toronto, Sami Zayn vs. Nakamura at Takeover: Dallas, Joe vs. Finn Balor at Takeover: The End, and The Revival’s clashes with American Alpha at several Takeovers were all nominees for the prestigious award, but it was the 2 out of 3 Falls match that took the award on Saturday night.
Not only did this match win the award for MOTY in NXT, WWE.com also voted it the best match of the year in the entire company.
