Rating The 10 Best Rivalries In NXT History

#6 Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn

Cesaro and Sami Zayn

NXT Takeover has become arguably the best even in all of professional wrestling, and while NXT Arrival wasn't a Takeover as such, it was NXT's first Live special, and that opened with a classic bout between Cesaro and Sami Zayn.

For 22 minutes, these two traded strikes, submissions and high-flying moves to wow the crowd at Full Sail University, and it's easy to see why the WWE continued with Live specials after this one.

They would then go on to have a 2 out of 3 falls match that would top their Arrival match, and it's the rivalry that really put The Underdog from The Underground on the map. They've since wrestled multiple times on the main roster, and the quality of their matches have always stayed consistent, but it goes to show that you don't need a flashy storyline to get two of the best wrestlers in the world over.
