NXT TakeOver: Chicago II - Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Ricochet Vs. Velveteen Dream

Result: Ricochet kills Dream with the 630 for the win (22:10).

Rating: This match was strangely laid out, with a surprisingly slow and grounded opening, but built to be a highly entertaining, fast-paced fight where either man could've satisfactorily won.

Ricochet continues to prove himself to be one of the world's best at what he does, while Dream again cements that he's one of NXT's most intriguing personalities (and a damn fine wrestler to boot).

The match ran far longer than expected, perhaps a tad too long ultimately. It mercifully wasn't the quick sprint many were expecting, but it felt a bit long in the tooth by the end, and Dream's knees-up counter in the final stretch was embarrassingly telegraphed.

Still, a ton of fun, though proof that sometimes less is more. 7/10
