#4 Aleister Black, Ricochet & Velveteen Dream vs. Johnny Gargano, Adam Cole & Tomasso Ciampa (Halftime Heat)
If you're a wrestling fan and didn't want to watch the Super Bowl halftime show, NXT had you covered with one of the most exciting wrestling matches we saw in all of 2019, as WWE revived Halftime Heat. While there were virtually no stakes in this contest and the crowd was comprised almost completely of the Performance Center recruits and NXT roster, the atmosphere was fantastic for 16-minutes of incredibly fast paced action.
We saw every move that all 6 men are capable of pulling out, and ultimately, it was the babyface team of Black/Dream/Ricochet that came out on top, drawing rave reviews online. It wasn't the most technical or story driven contest, but it aimed to get eyes on wrestling during the Super Bowl, and with that goal in mind, NXT knocked it out of the park. Let's hope that we get to see this return in 2020.
