Good luck trying to describe all the action in the triple threat NXT North American Championship match. It just ain’t happening.

Pete Dunne, Velveteen Dream and Roderick Strong went at 100 kph at TakeOver: Toronto, tearing into each other with series after series of high-impact, hard-hitting moves. They had some unique combos, like Roderick using a Strong Hold on both men at the same time, Dream breaking up a Dunne triangle by hitting a Coast-to-Coast elbow drop on him,

And even though Dunne returned to take the pinfall loss, it took a Dream Valley Driver, End of Heartache and then a Purple Rainmaker to put him down.

Basically, when you looked at this match on paper, it looked phenomenal. And then the three wrestlers went out and delivered.
