WWE Survivor Series 2019: Top 5 performers at the PPV

NXT Superstars are always prepared to steal the show

#1 Adam Cole

If anyone was uncertain about Adam Cole’s caliber, then this PPV surely changed their perspective. In the weeks leading up to this match, Cole successfully defended his title against Seth Rollins as well as Daniel Bryan. Following that, he participated in a brutal WarGames match against Tommaso Ciampa and his team.

His match at Takeover forced the viewers to get on their feet as Ciampa put the Champion through two tables after delivering an Air Raid Crash off the cage. Many speculated that Cole might not be able to fight against Pete Dunne last night and boy, were they wrong.

Cole locked horns with the former NXT UK Champion in a grueling encounter that had the entire arena echoing with ‘This is Awesome!’ and ‘Holy S**t’ chants. There were two unbelievable spots in the match that had the fans on the edge of their seats.

The first was when he delivered a stunning Panama Sunrise at the apron that took out both Superstars. The second spot was towards the closing moments of the match when Dunne attempted to take down Cole with the Bitter End. However, Cole countered the move midway and delivered a fantastic Panama Sunrise that allowed him to seal his victory.

If you have been following NXT, then the names on this list shouldn’t come as a surprise. And those who missed the PPV should go back and watch Cole vs Dunne. I know I will as soon as I finish writing this article.

I love the fact that NXT won the battle of brand supremacy and it will be interesting to see how the Black and Gold brand capitalizes on this historic achievement in the coming weeks.
