10 Best NXT TakeOver Matches Of 2017
4. Asuka Vs Ember Moon (Brooklyn 3)
Asuka's final title defence on the developmental brand was not only the best match of her series with Ember Moon, but the best match either had been involved in in NXT and a fitting farewell to one of Full Sail's finest fighters.
In a mesmerising display that saw Moon build on their first match by finally hitting her devastating Eclipse finisher, the challenger gave everything still in vain to the incomparable 'Empress Of Tomorrow'.
Stubbornly refusing to lose having snuck out the back door during their Orlando battle, Asuka shocked her opponent and the crowd in kicking out from the devastating manoeuvre and a follow-up superkick. Shock and awe turned to confusion in Ember, having thrown her best shots at the Champion only to emerge still without a title.
Just as all looked lost for the titleholder, she suckered Moon in to a cross armbreaker, forcing her to agonisingly tap out like so many others had before her. The rivalry was over, as too, we'd later find out was her title reign and unblemished NXT tenure. Like many others to travel through the developmental brand, she left an imprint on Brooklyn greater than perhaps anything she'll ever accomplish on the main roster.
