10 Greatest NXT TakeOver matches of all time

#7 Bayley vs Sasha Banks - NXT TakeOver: Respect

Whilst many in attendance at Full Sail that night were there to honour The American Dream, the night was truly all about Bayley and Banks

2015 was a stellar year for Banks as this is the second of three matches on this list featuring The Boss.

Takeover: Respect was supposed to be all about the crowning of the first winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Whilst many in attendance at Full Sail that night were there to honour The American Dream, the night was truly all about Bayley and Banks.

The pair stole the show two months earlier in Brooklyn, so expectations were rather high going into the rematch.

Add in the fact that they were making history, performing in a 30-minute Ironwoman Match, and you have all the ingredients for NXT's biggest main event up-to that point.

The match worked a classic format often seen in Ironman matches, with the heel in Banks never being behind for the majority of the bout. Indeed, The Boss was willing to do whatever it took to regain her title, including getting Bayley counted out by ramming her face into the Titantron.

Regardless of these efforts, The Hugger always found a way back into proceedings, but just when it looked like she'd timed her comeback perfectly, Banks locked in The Bank Statement with moments to go.

The Hugger would not be denied though, as to the crowds delight, she countered the former champ's finishing move into an armbar which forced Banks to tap, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The fact that the whole locker room, plus Triple H greeted the pair with a standing ovation at the entrance showed just how great this match was.
