2. Finn Balor Vs Samoa Joe - NXT TakeOver: London (December 2015)
Finn Balor and Samoa Joe's rivalry became the main event bedrock of an NXT product that was the talk of the entire industry during the the brand's creative and commercial peak in the summer of 2015.
Turning heel on Balor after the pair had teamed all summer and won the inaugural 'Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Invitational', Joe embraced his vicious side in an effort to unseat 'The Demon' as NXT Champion and kingpin of the popular developmental league.
It had been a heartbreaking turn for the titleholder, who openly spoke of his disappointment that his former friend took the shortcut to glory instead of merely asking him for a shot at the belt.
Though marginally topped by their engaging Dallas brawl thanks to Samoa Joe's accidental bloodletting, the initial encounter was layered with intrigue after 'The Samoan Submission Machine' brutally beat down Balor and made him tap out to the Coquina Clutch weeks earlier.
Sticking and moving to avoid the choke as well as Joe's wicked Muscle Buster, Finn was a distinguished destroyer, performing flips and dives and eventually matching his opponent's devastating strike game to dislodge him from the top rope and hit a match-winning Coup De Grâce.
