10 Biggest Wrestling Pops Of 2016
7. DIY Topple The Revival
Huge crowd reactions aren't confined solely to the main roster. With the rabid fan base that NXT has developed over the years, it has been home to some electrifying moments. One of the things NXT audiences claim makes the brand superior to the main roster offerings is their focus on pure wrestling.
No two teams sum up this mind-set more than The Revival and DIY. Both teams spent the most part of 2016 locked in an intense rivalry with the crux of the feud coming from Gargono and Ciampa always being agonisingly close to the NXT Tag Team Championship only to have it slip from their grasp at the very last second.
During TakeOver: Toronto, the teams met in a 2 out of 3 falls contest that delivered everything a wrestling fan could ask for. After over 20 minutes of meticulously crafted storytelling, DIY forced both members of The Revival to tap out and became champions. The underdogs finally ended the long running champions' reign and sent the Canadian crowd into a frenzy.
