This was the first appearance of Johnny Gargano on a TakeOver event, and given what he went on to achieve in NXT, this is quite the perfect beginning.

Although they'd come out on the losing end (with an injury that would cost Gargano in the Cruiserweight Classic), DIY made the most of their first appearance at TakeOver: Brooklyn, in a classic bout that was a taste of what was to come from these two teams.

They fought valiantly throughout, but the old-school team of The Revival was just too much for the former indie standouts, and they fell just short of the NXT Tag Team Championships as Gargano was forced to tap out.

Despite being just 14th on this list, this one was still a fantastic bout, especially with what the two teams would go on to do at later events, and that shows just how incredibly high quality all his matches have been.
