10 Underrated NXT TakeOver Matches You Need To Revist

10. Bobby Roode Vs Hideo Itami – Chicago I

The first TakeOver: Chicago show is famous for two things. One is the incredible UK Championship match between Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne. The other is Alexander Wolfe's incredible trousers during the opening match. And then there was something to do with Tommaso Ciampa turning on Johnny Gargano and starting the greatest rivalry in NXT history.

As it was such a stacked show, people often forget that this match even took place - despite the fact that it was for the NXT Championship.

Hideo Itami was back in NXT after two huge stints on the shelf with injury. Itami had missed out on the massive expansion of the NXT brand, forced to watch from home as his peers became bigger and bigger stars.

His plucky babyface character was pitched perfectly against ruthless champion, Bobby Roode, who vowed that Itami would never achieve his dream in "his NXT".

The match had a real old-school feel to it - Roode really embodied that '80s style of big match wrestling that could elevate a bout to the next level.

Both men played their roles to perfection and Itami's loss played into his eventually heel turn, which Itami has taken with him to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
