8 Reasons NXT Takeover Was Better Than WWE SummerSlam
2. Balor Vs. Owens - NXT Title Ladder Match
Depending on your preferences in a match, this was anywhere from the second to the fourth best match of the entire weekend. Clocking in a 21 minutes and 45 seconds, this match was also given the most time. It's fair to say KO was the workhorse of both shows by putting in just over 36 minutes of in-ring time.
Even though it was the main event with a fairly predictable ending, it was put in a tough spot after that fantastic encounter between Bayley and Sasha Banks. The crowd was so spent that they didn't really give the reactions that this match deserved. Owens knew he had a big match against Cesaro the very next night and still took some major bumps to put Balor over.
A fantastic match that topped nearly everything that SummerSlam had to offer.
