10 Worst Ever NXT TakeOver Matches
4. Apollo Crews Vs Tye Dillinger (Brooklyn)
WWE had what they wanted with Apollo Crews right out of the box, but from the day he debuted, it appeared as though the fans were far less enthused with the content.
Emerging as a smiling babyface for the red hot crowd on a famous night in NXT's history, Crews impressed with his standing moonsault finisher, but was over-exposed under the brand's brightest spotlight against the typically charitable Tye Dillinger.
Dillinger spent the better part of a year as the safe pair of hands for a new talent to work with on their first night, but Crews looked devoid of the incredible physical charisma he'd shown on the independent scene as the highly-touted Uhaa Nation.
Scaled back as the humble white meat good guy, Crews lacked any sort of fire in his attack despite Tye working diligently at his antagonistic 'Perfect 10' act to try and infuriate the Brooklyn crowd.
Crews' destruction of Tye was supposedly an easy night's work, but the whole simply ran too long for Apollo to look as if he'd made light work of his opponent.
Truthfully, it's a hurdle he's still yet to get over despite an aggressive push on the brand and expedited ascent to WWE's main roster.
