Ranking the 5 Greatest NXT Takeover Events in History

#1 NXT Takeover: New Orleans

Takeover New Orleans

NXT Takeover events seem to get better and better by the event, but from top to bottom, it's going to be hard for one to have a lasting impact like Takeover New Orleans over WrestleMania 34 weekend. The show started with a 6-man ladder match to crown the first NXT North American Champion, and it ended between a brutal Unsanctioned match between fierce rivals Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa, and it was action packed the entire night.

Dave Meltzer rated both of the above matches 5-stars, just the second and third ones to be given to NXT during its tenure, but they weren't the only great moments on the night. Roderick Strong turned on Pete Dunne to join the Undisputed Era, Shayna Baszler tapped out Ember Moon, and Aleister Black finally reached the top of the NXT mountain. It's arguably the greatest event in WWE history.
