5 Surprising Moments From NXT Takeover XXV

#4 The Brutal Nature of the Ladder Match

A well-deserved moment that was three years in the making.

Poor Kyle O’Reilly.

The four-team ladder match for the vacant NXT Tag Team Championship was a very unique ladder match. The eight competitors didn’t do a lot of high flying moves with the ladder. They simply had dozens of brutal and painful looking falls onto ladders. I am sure Kyle O’Reilly will especially be sore based on the multiple drops he had on his back onto ladders. Ouch.

Montez Ford showed his impressive athletic ability with his perfect leap from the ropes onto the ladder and knocking off Wesley Blake to get the win. It is amazing to think the Street Profits have been a team for over three years and this was their first Takeover match.

They are a popular babyface tag team and it will be interesting to see what they can do with the tag titles. You cannot deny they deserved it after the brutal ladder match on Saturday night.
