Ranking Every NXT TakeOver From Worst To Best

20. Unstoppable

Finn Bálor Samoa Joe

One of the best from the original run of Full Sail shows, Unstoppable was evidence that this increasingly hot product was no flash-in-the-pan. Everything here had worth, even when it wasn't crafted to steal a show.

In keeping with the direction of the show, it was elevated exponentially by battles over the male and female top titles. Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks knocked their singles match so far out of the f*cking park that many assumed the reimagined women's division had found its ceiling. 'The Boss' was an impossibly magnificent and complete heel, registering everything the gutsy Becky Lynch did with such aplomb that it seemed the two would go on to do it again on the main roster sooner rather than later.

In a vicious main event, Unstoppable exploited the heartbreaking brilliance of the Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn feud yet again as the 'Prizefighter' got what he came for in a stoppage NXT Championship defence that also triggered Samoa Joe's surprise debut.
