NXT TakeOver: Toronto: 4 Best Moments

3. DIY Finally Climb The Mountain
What can be said that already hasn’t already been said about these two teams and the work they do together? Their match at TakeOver: Brooklyn II tore the roof off the place and firmly proved that tag team wrestling is at its best under the NXT brand. When you mix 4 superstars at the talent of level of Tomasso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Scott Dawson, and Dash Wilder in a two out of three falls match with 22 minutes to work, brilliance is almost expected, and the four lived up to that expectation in Toronto Saturday night.
Their match in August was a little more fast-paced than their Saturday night tilt but what separates the two matches is the level of psychology in this Toronto clash. The Revival are truly a brilliant duo and legitimately seem like they study hours of tape of their opponents and exploit the weaknesses they find. In losing to DIY, they still have a legitimate argument to make as the best tag team in the entire WWE.
And as usual with an NXT show, the crowd elevated this match from brilliant to epic. They were squarely behind Gargano and Ciampa and their desperation to see the baby face duo capture the titles made DIY’s winning moment that more special.
Saturday night was a huge night for Gargano and Ciampa and their title reign should be a lot of fun. But Dash and Wilder need to be recognized for the level of commitment to their heel tag team craft. They have a massive main roster push ahead of them.
Wow, this match needs to be watched on repeat for a while.
