Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne brought the house down at TakeOver Chicago, wrestling a long, inventive, exciting match with plenty of room for risk and innovation.

Although this is the most recent shining example, TakeOver matches on the whole seem to be put together with far more creative freedom than many of those on main roster pay per views.

I'm not saying anybody should be throwing unprotected chairshots or incorporating consistently dangerous moves into their matches, but NXT has clearly benefitted from allowing for a little innovation - even if it doesn't necessarily correspond with WWE's relatively rigid style.
