10 Best WWE NXT Matches Of 2015

4. Finn Balor Vs. Adrian Neville - TakeOver: Rival

This was something of a goodbye to NXT for the man who would soon lose his first name on the main roster, as Adrian Nevill and Finn Balor collied at the first TakeOver special of the year to determine the number one contender to the NXT Championship. It would take something truly catastrophic for these two to have a match that was anything less than stellar, and their excellence shone through in this 13 minute sprint. Balor's entrance was as stunning as usual, further cementing him as a truly standout star. You'd expect 200mph fireworks from these two, but they started relatively slowly with a fascinating feeling out process at the start. Of course, things picked up as time went on, and towards the end there were a number of fantastic near falls, none more so than after Balor got his knees up on the Red Arrow and rolled up Neville for a 2.9999999999. Balor would hit the Coup de Grace for the win, and the two would share a respectful handshake after the match. Fantastic.
