The sole reason why this match appears so low on the list is because it's hard to classify it as "underrated" when it was undoubtedly the best bout on that particular special. Then again, it doesn't typically get the love it deserves in being as incredible as it was, not to mention Adrian Neville's other defenses as NXT champions are remembered more fondly for storyline reasons.

Heading into September's TakeOver special, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, and Tyson Kidd all had claims to the No. 1 contendership spot, and thus the only logical way to settle the score was to place them in a Fatal 4-Way with Neville with the gold up for grabs.

Each of the four competitors had been having extraordinary matches with each other in the months leading up to the show, so placing them all in one ring together was magical, to say the least. It was exhilarating action abound with everyone gunning for the gold and wanting to take home that title. The breathtaking bout had the crowd (both in the arena and around the world) on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

The final few minutes were perhaps the most remarkable with Zayn closing in on the championship, only to be pulled out of the ring by his so-called "best friend" Neville, who promptly laid him out with a scintillating superkick before stealing the win for himself.
