NXT TakeOver: New Orleans - Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / April 8, 2018

4. NXT Women's Title: Ember Moon (C) Vs. Shayna Baszler

Result: Baszler makes Moon pass out to the Rear Naked Choke to win the title (12:56).

Rating: This was intense from the get-go, and though it suffered from following that incredible opener, it was nevertheless boosted by its brutality and impressive ring psychology.

By far the most memorable spot of the match was that fantastically visceral moment where Baszler used the ring post to pop her dislocated shoulder back in, and Ember's attempts to exploit that weakness reinforced she's more than ready for the main roster call-up.

The Eclipse counter was stunning, the final sequence was terrific and though it never quite reached a level of greatness overall, it still highly entertaining with a satisfying, well-earned result. 7/10
