Given the long rivalry that these three teams had with each other, they needed one final contest to blow off the steam. Despite this contest not being as good a story as their other matches, it was the perfect way to kick off TakeOver: Orlando.

While they had been enemies before, DIY and The Revival teamed up throughout the bout, including some of the best spots NXT had ever seen when the two teams combined to hit their finishers together.

Ultimately, the dominant duo of Akam and Rezar would eliminate both teams to retain their NXT Tag Team Championships, but it's a match that the fans won't forget anytime soon.

It was one of the last times we saw DIY together before the brutal betrayal of Tommaso Ciampa, but it was exactly what it needed to be - a fun, fast paced way to kick off WrestleMania weekend.
