#7 Neville vs. Sami Zayn

This one came very early on in NXT, but it was these two men that arguably got NXT started in the direction they're going now through fantastic matches and great storytelling.

Like the previous entry, this one was rather simple: Sami Zayn was looking to win the NXT Title, something he'd worked his whole life for, and the babyface Neville began turning heel as he would do anything it took to hold onto the belt.

In his chase for gold, Sami time and time again considered turning to the dark side to win what he wanted, but ever the hero in the story, Zayn persevered with good intentions before finally getting to the top of the mountain.

It wasn't a very elaborate or flamboyant storyline, but these two men were so good at what they do, that it was entertaining and engaging for the fans, and the moment that Sami won the NXT Championship was one of the best moments in NXT history.
