#13 TakeOver: Chicago - DIY vs. The Authors of Pain (Ladder match for the NXT Tag Team Championship)

One of the best ladder matches in recent memory

This is the third time that DIY fought the Authors of Pain at a TakeOver event, and while it has since been overshadowed by what happened following the bout, it was a great match, and one of the best ladder matches in recent WWE memory.

The match was full of memorable spots, including Gargano sacrificing himself for his partner in a ridiculous spot, and with what happened later, it hurt our hearts even more.

Despite their best efforts, Ciampa and Gargano couldn't dethrone the monstrous duo, and it led to Tommaso Ciampa obliterating his best friend following the match.

He, unfortunately, suffered an injury before this event, so he was out for almost a year following this, but it's a memorable moment that follows a severely underrated contest, and one that deserves respect.
