10 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE NXT TakeOver
5. The Revival Rule
It wasn't just women's wrestling being given a much-needed overhaul on NXT during the brand's golden era. Triple H tackled tag teams too.
Identifying that the neglect of tag team wrestling on the main roster was fundamentally flawed, 'The Game' used The Ascension on early TakeOvers to reestablish the importance of the belts, but it wasn't until they found their way to The Revival via Blake & Murphy and The Vaudevillains that good intentions turned to great outcomes.
As Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson refined their throwback act, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan polished up their American Alpha unit as the polar opposites. In the meantime, TakeOver: London presented perennial nearly-men Enzo & Cass as perfect pretenders to the throne thanks to the exhilarating Dash and Dawson formula working so perfectly. American Alpha and The Revival traded the belts between TakeOver: Dallas and TakeOver: The End, and when the Alphas jumped to the main roster, the heels were perfect to start the years long #DIY story.
For years the best team in the world not named The Young Bucks (and plenty thought they were better), their iconic black-and-gold legacy was assured by the dream match discussed across multiple platforms until AEW finally provided the stage.
