Best and Worst of NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia

#2 Best: Another 'Match of the Year' candidate

This match was almost as exciting as the main event

Aleister Black and Adam Cole will be battered and bruised, on this special night. Yet, there will be a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that they stole the show at Takeover: Philadelphia.

This match was just as extreme as was advertised. The cameos from Fish/O'Reilly and SAnitY added a dimension of excitement to the match as well. Had it not been for the main event, we'd have been heaping a lot of praise on this amazing match.

So will Black go on to face Almas on Wrestlemania 34 weekend, then? That should be one amazing feud.

Adam Cole did suffer a loss, but we're certain it will not hinder his push at all.
