5 Surprising Moments from NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021

#1 The Finish of the NXT World Championship Match at NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021

Kross meets the set on Sunday night.

The Fatal Five Way Match at NXT TakeOver: In Your House was always going to be a match of pure chaos. When you have Pete Dunne, Kyle O’ Reilly, Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano and Karrion Kross, you are bound to have a great, fast-paced match. For over twenty-six minutes, they kept up an incredible pace filled with some non-stop action.

The four challengers at NXT TakeOver: In Your House seemed to focus their attention on eliminating Karrion Kross from the match. He was pushed through the door of the In Your House set. He was even powerbombed onto the announcers' table. This allowed the other four to get some very believable near falls but it was the ending that proved a surprising and enjoyable finish.

Kyle O’ Reilly had Adam Cole all alone in the ring with a kneebar submission locked in on his former ally. It seemed after so many close calls O’ Reilly could finally win the biggest title in NXT. This was the moment when Karrion Kross arrived to lock in his own submission on Kyle O’ Reilly.

It was now a race to see if Cole would tap out before O’ Reilly passed out. On Sunday night, it was Kyle O’ Reilly who passed out first.

Kross retained the title at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. He almost lost the title to O’ Reilly on Sunday night. Will this set up a match between the two in the near future? It's safe to say a lot of pro wrestling fans will be ready to see that amazing match very soon.
