The Highlights: Although it's tough to top the original, TakeOver: Brooklyn 2 certainly came close to capturing the same magic from the first installment emanating from Brooklyn one year earlier. The main matches from TakeOver: Brooklyn were more monumental, but the sequel had a better card overall.

The Revival contested yet another incredible outing when they defended their NXT Tag Team Championship against #DIY, while Asuka and Bayley had the exhilarating match they should have had in Dallas. Finally, Shinsuke Nakamura's epic entrance was one for the ages, and his grand NXT Championship victory was only icing on the cake.

The Low Points: As we enter the top five, the low points will mostly consist of nitpicking. For example, Bobby Roode came off like a total star following his first entrance as an NXT Superstar, but his subsequent match with Andrade 'Cien' Almas was nothing special. Additionally, Ember Moon had a memorable debut, but the crowd sat on their hands for the match itself between her and Billie Kay until the finish.
