Ranking Every NXT TakeOver From Worst To Best
9. London
A blisteringly exciting show that again separated NXT from lots of stuff fans came to hate about WWE's main roster, the event's London locale was a gift to British fans that had waited for a major pay-per-view event since SummerSlam 1992.
They were rewarded with a genuinely magnificent over-delivery of an event.
A wrestling buffet at its best long before AEW poached the term, the London card was diverse in its direction and dynamism, with only Baron Corbin's passable match with Apollo Crews giving the audience reason to dare take a toilet break.
This was firing-on-all-cylindars for wrestlers and sports entertainers in blissful harmony. Nia Jax had her best ever singles match with peerless Women's Champion Bayley, The Revival's sh*thouse win over Enzo & Big Cass made gutsy babyfaces out of the mouthy East Coast connection, whilst Asuka's win over Emma remains probably the most underrated TakeOver opener ever.
Finn Bálor and Samoa Joe had better matches in them than their firecracker main event, but nobody was to know that then - this was big time headliner sh*t for what was by then the most coveted prize in North America.
