5 Best NXT TakeOver Matches

#2 Tyler Bate vs Pete Dunne (NXT TakeOver: Chicago (2017))

Two of the best wrestlers from the United Kingdom wrestling a classic

Fans had pretty high expectations going into this match but my oh my, were they ever exceeded. What an absolute classic. Amazing psychology, some incredible spots without it being a spot fest, very well paced between two great wrestlers from the United Kingdom

It blew their first encounter, which took place in January for the WWE UK Championship Tournament, out of the water and made the UK Title look important. Jim Ross and Nigel McGuinness did a good job with the commentary, putting over the wrestlers and making the match important.

These two young men went out there and put on match of the year in about 15 minutes. It's crazy to me that these kids are as talented as they are in their early 20s.

Tyler Bate is a guy that you just want to root for and he can do it all, while Pete Dunne is a natural, smug, no-nonsense heel and every move he does, feels very impactful and with a purpose.

This match was straight action from start to finish with some very convincing near-falls and a white hot Chicago crowd. Amazing stuff. It will go down as one of the best matches in NXT history.
