#2: NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4 - Tommaso Ciampa vs Johnny Gargano Last Man Standing

Johnny Gargano hit Tommaso Ciampa with a knee to the face near the end of their main-event

In what seemed to be an even bigger match up compared to their street fight at Takeover: Brooklyn, this match surely didn't send us home wondering. Everyone involved did a great job showing the fans that this isn't just a wrestling match, they came here to FIGHT. Miles ahead of the debauchery that was NXT's first run, both Gargano and Ciampa are responsible for making NXT what it is today.

This match comes equipped with enough entertainment to knock your socks off and maybe enough to turn a critic into a wrestling fan. Either way, you slice it, these guys will continue to put their bodies on the line for the fans and haters alike. For that, this match will be a fan favourite among NXT Championship matches for years and maybe decades to come.
