Top 5 Matches NXT Should Produce In 2019

NXT's last year was great, but can the stars and writers keep up the good work?

#2 Keith Lee vs. Dominik Dijakovic

Lee and Dijakovic put on an indie classic less than two years ago, will they do it again?

Like the women stars of Japan, Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic (formerly known as Donovan Dijak) have tangled in another life before WWE, earning a very rare five-star rating from Dave Meltzer's prestigious Wrestling Observer publication for their impressive 2017 match at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's annual BOLA (Battle of Los Angeles) tournament.

With both former indie stars finding themselves on the NXT roster just a year and a half later, it's safe to assume the powers that be at the Performance Center and Full Sail have seen their work together.

One can only hope and assume then, that there's a plan to have Lee and Dijakovic re-create the magic from the indies on a larger scale within the "Hottest Brand In Sports Entertainment".

Crowd reactions at Full Sail might be similar in scope but with a massively larger home audience and the possibility of a TakeOver or pre-TakeOver dark match booking, the two men could feasibly perform the same amazing monkey flips, big-man moonsaults, powerslams, stiff strikes and flying dives in front of an arena-sized crowd.
