10 Worst Ever NXT TakeOver Matches
10. Wesley Blake & Buddy Murphy Vs The Lucha Dragons (Rival)
Long before American Alpha, The Revival and #DIY briefly redefined mainstream tag team wrestling in America, the NXT doubles division was in a state of flux following the departure of long-term Road Warriors tribute act The Ascension.
The titles floated across several teams in a series of passable matches, but hit a low point in this battle of two babyface sides that weren't over or popular enough to get the Full Sail audience to pick a side.
Blake and Murphy had dethroned Kalisto and Sin Cara just weeks earlier for the belts in a monumental upset for the time, but were simply too obnoxious in their overall presentation to gain traction as heroes.
This would shortly be addressed with the vital inclusion of Alexa Bliss during a laboured feud with Enzo and Cass (more on that later), but in the meantime they were stuck against a flagging Lucha Dragons act that the upset loss had done no favours for.
Despite a wicked Brainbuster/Frog Splash combination finisher, the dubstep duo were just too unlikeable to carry out the role as underdog champions, with the Dragons completely out of juice on NXT and receiving their main roster call-up just weeks later.
