3 Reasons to keep calm and watch NXT Takeover: Rival

Here’s the thing- NXT is the best show WWE comes out with every week, every month for the past year. And surely followed the tradition with the fourth edition of Takeover. It is amazing how storylines develop and how much wrestling thrives in this format and how much they enhance characters and stories in such a limited amount of time compared to the extravagant main roster.Surely in bigger places, one tends to get lost in the shuffle. For now, keep calm and watch NXTHere are three reasons why-

#3 Finn Balor

This guy was immensely popular globally until he left all of that to come to WWE and he’s making NXT must-watch. There is no doubt about how charismatic he is and he just, simply put, stands out. His face paint and his wrestling style and his spectacular, enthralling entrance are such a treat for the audience and the viewer outside and away from the arena and at Takeover he defeated Adrian Neville, another spectacular performer, to become the No. 1 contendor for the NXT championship.

Just wow.

#2 The Women\'s Division

The main roster divas division hasn’t been much of a division in the past 3 years but it is trying to redeem itself lately but NXT is so far and beyond the best place to find great women’s wrestling in the WWE. Charlotte lost the title to Sasha Banks and it may be poetic in a way that it may be a passing of the torch as Charlotte gets set for the main roster. She may just debut after Wrestlemania but she’s close. And do not even doubt for one second when Charlotte says that she’ll main event a PPV one day. With the kind of talent on display, that isn’t such a too-good-to-be-true wish.

#1 The Main Event

Just check out almost every main event bout in the history of NXT and you’ll never be left disappointed. Sami Zayn has been in most of them and the reaction he got after he won the title from Adrian Neville is a testament to his talent and popularity. But Kevin Owens had probably the best heel turn and one of the best debuts in one day last year at Takeover R Evolution. And that momentum got a rousing push with Owens winning the title from Sai Zayn. This was flawless booking. Zayn still remains a favorite and with Owens’ heel-ness, Zayn becomes all the more popular. This is such a win-win for both of them.
