10 Most Underrated WWE Matches Of 2014

6. Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze - No. 1 Contender's Match For NXT Championship (NXT Takeover)

At each of the four NXT live specials in 2014, Sami Zayn stole the show. He had an amazing match with longtime rival Cesaro at Arrival, contested a Match of the Year candidate with Adrian Neville at R Evolution, and was part of that phenomenal Fatal 4-Way at Takeover II. But one of Zayn's most overlooked matches of 2014 came against Tyler Breeze at the second live special, NXT Takeover. All the focus that night was on Adrian Neville defending his NXT Championship against Tyson Kidd and Charlotte and Natalya facing off for the vacant NXT Women's Championship. But Breeze and Zayn worked a heck of a match that proved to be a turning point in the careers of both men. The winner would receive a future shot at the NXT Championship later down the line, so the two NXT standouts were putting it all on the line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIfhn6PHHFc With a scintillating super kick and a brutal Beauty Shot, Breeze solidified himself as more than just a pretty face. He was an extremely talented competitor. And Zayn? His remarkable abilities inside the ring were already common knowledge, but it further evidence as to why he belongs on the main roster right now.
