10 Awesome WWE Wrestling Match Sequels No One Ever Talks About

3. Bayley & Sasha Banks’ Final NXT Match At NXT TakeOver: Respect

When fans look back at Bayley and Sasha Banks’ legendary NXT feud they normally reference NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, where they put on a match of the year contender and outshone every other woman’s match on the main roster that year.

Fans frequently look past the match where they tangled for the final time in NXT at TakeOver: Respect a few months after Brooklyn in a gruelling 30 minute Iron Man. It was the first time women were put in the main event of a TakeOver, and it was well earned. It had enthralling spots like Sasha throwing Bayley into the LED board and then snatching (Bayley superfan) Izzy’s headband at ringside, wearing it and taunting fans in the ring as Bayley was counted out. The image of Izzy crying as Sasha paraded around the ring was a sight to behold. Sasha was a monster heel in this match, displaying a cocky wickedness rarely done better in wrestling. And Bayley never looked better as a babyface, with what felt like the whole crowd behind her.

Bayley won 3-2 when the allotted time ran out in an Iron Man so good Bayley and Sasha broke down crying with joy afterwards, with the entire roster cheering for them on the ramp.
