WWE NXT TakeOver: The End: 10 Awesome Moments

10. WWE's Throwback Video Package Pays Tribute To Armageddon

As far as wrestling pay-per-view names go, 'Armageddon' has to be considered one of the best. Debuting in 1999, the show's title had a satisfying impact to it, and that mood was one WWE decided to borrow for the latest NXT event. Older viewers will have immediately recognised the music used in the TakeOver opening, even if it had been remixed.

'The End' is a WWE in-house production, and this felt like a throwback to when the company relied more on their own creativity than the music of other artists. The song gave the TakeOver introduction some credibility, something that only helped drive the clips used along.

Brilliantly exploring the history of NXT, WWE's ever-awesome production team hit a home run with this one. From Seth Rollins becoming the first NXT Champion, to Paige becoming NXT Women's Champ, there was something for everyone. In just a few short minutes, the promotion put across exactly what NXT brings to the WWE table.

There was also a nice transition from history to present day, with finality being the aura surrounding Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor. Excellent stuff all round.
