NXT TakeOver New York Results: 15 Best Internet Reactions To THAT Emotional Ending

5. Love For Bianca

While there's some criticism for the women's match online, because of course there is, it was legitimately a great watch. Thanks to the athleticism of Io Shirai and Kaira Sane, some of the spots were incredibly impressive, Shayna brought the Brock Lesnar power and Bianca Belair pulled off some feats of strength that just didn't look possible.

Belair in particular deserves a lot of plaudits for what she did because she's pretty much brand new, hasn't got a UFC brand behind her to guarantee a push or an easy gimmick and is nowhere near as experienced as the other two in the match...

But then again, without Io and Sane carrying a lot of the big moments, we wouldn't have had that great a match. In a night defined by big spots, that sort of work is what needs to be acknowledged too.
