Ranking all 5 matches from NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV

#1 NXT North American Championship: Adam Cole (c) vs. Ricochet

This was exactly what the NXT North American Championship needed. In what was easily the best match of the night, Adam Cole and Ricochet worked a clinic that elevated the prestige of the title they were fighting for. Ricochet's victory breathes new life into the title picture and gives Adam Cole his first real setback since he stormed onto the NXT stage one year ago.

These two were familiar with each other before, getting a 5-star rated match on the independent scene and another in the ladder match at TakeOver: New Orleans. However, those were both multi-man matches. In a way, those encounters prepared them for their biggest meeting yet.

While this one might not deserve quite that high a rating, it was still a tremendous contest, and opens up a lot of intriguing possibilities going forward.
