Setting the Bar High: Ranking Every Match from the NXT TakeOvers before WrestleMania

#6 The Revival vs. American Alpha (NXT TakeOver: Dallas)

Jason Jordan and Chad Gable display their amateur wrestling prowess over WWE's most old-school team

Good Lord, were Chad Gable and Jason Jordon over in late 2015 and early 2016 or what?

Starting the first WrestleMania weekend TakeOver event on a hot note, American Alpha blew the roof off the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center just by walking through the curtain; they'd give the building further structural fits when Jason Jordan would get the hot tag towards the end of one of the grandest reactions of his short career.

The success of this match comes from the story preceding it, as The Revival had dominated NXT's tandem division with the best heel tag team work seen since the demise of Jim Crockett Promotions; the NXT Universe had been itching for months to see them dethroned, and the dictionary definition of white meat babyfaces were the obvious choice to do it.

The city of Dallas nearly had to rebuild the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center after the NXT Universe finally saw this happen

A middle portion that doesn't live up to a hot start and finish can be forgiven because of the explosion that a Grand Amplitude, a three-count, and an American Alpha championship celebration causes in the audience.
