Rating Each Match From NXT Takeover: New York, Worst To Best

#2 War Raiders def. Aleister Black & Ricochet to remain NXT Tag Team Champions

The competitors embrace

As it has done for the previous several Takeover events, the Tag Team Championship match kicked off the show, and despite the slow start, this one became an absolute classic. It's sometimes tough to book face vs. face matches, but through incredible physicality and some great storytelling, these 4 men got the crowd hot to begin the show, and they never really stopped.

The match featured the very best of all 4 men, and given that War Raiders just went toe-to-toe with main roster superstars and come out on top, that elevates their star even more.

The end of the match was fantastic, and post-match there was a big show of respect from all 4 men, followed by a farewell to Ricochet and Black that made The One and Only tear up, and you can see why.
