#2 Tommaso Ciampa vs. Velveteen Dream (NXT TakeOver: War Games II)
If this was a test of Velveteen Dream's capability as the main event player, he passed with flying colours and then some. Tommaso Ciampa also showed once again that he's the real deal and could be the best NXT Champion of all time, much as he proclaims. This was truly an outstanding match.
The taunting and psychological warfare between NXT's two biggest trolls was what we were expecting and hoping that it would be, and for someone with scant experience in the business, Velveteen Dream delivered his best in-ring performance to date, even exceeding his spectacular match last year with Aleister Black.
Both men hit their big moves and kicked out until Dream made a fatal mistake by missing with the Purple Rainmaker and falling to the floor. That's where Ciampa would ultimately take advantage and retain his NXT Championship.
