15 Best Ever Face Vs Face WWE Matches

13. Sami Zayn vs Neville - NXT R Evolution 2014

Neville went into NXT R Evolution as the longest running NXT Champion ever. Opposing him was his close friend Sami Zayn, who throughout all of 2014 won the hearts of fans but not many matches. Subsequently, Zayn had come up short in his pursuit of NXT€™s top prize time after time, and was pushed to a point where he snapped by putting his career on the line if he could not defeat Neville. Hanging over this match in fans minds, was the thought of a call-up for Zayn, which added to the story of this contest. Did they really want him to win? Or lose, and be called up? However before that time came, Neville and Zayn submitted a late Match Of The Year contender, as both men took to the air time after time and built the action over 20 plus minutes. Each time Neville looked closer to winning, the air drained from the room. During the match, fans turned completely on Neville. Watching Zayn struggle against himself, while attempting to take the clean road to the championship made for an emotional experience, as fans begged Sami not to cheat for the victory. Zayn instead remained on the righteous path, and unglued the arena with his heroics. Following Zayn€™s miraculous victory, Neville and Zayn shook hands as the locker room celebrated Zayn in the ring together. Then Kevin Owens happened. Who was the crowd cheering? - Sami Zayn
