NXT Takeover: 10 Things We Are Most Excited To See
10. Will It Live Up To Arrival?
The NXT Arrival special was spectacular. From the near five-star match between Sami Zayn and Cesaro to the outstanding Women's Championship match featuring Paige and Emma, fans were treated to a great night of ring action. The night's main event saw the crowning of a new NXT champion as Adrian Neville defeated Bo Dallas in a Ladder match, making the show that much more historically significant. It is because of the overall quality of that show that there are serious questions surrounding Takeover's ability to live up to its predecessor, let alone eclipse it. To its credit, the show is off to a good start. With matches such as Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd vs. Adrian Neville, the pieces are in place for a night of solid in-ring work. Whether the remainder of the festivities can come together as seamlessly as the originals' did is a whole other question.
