HM: Bianca Belair vs Shayna Baszler, NXT Takeover Phoenix

HM: Ciampa vs. Aleister Black

I think that the main event was on the cusp of a MOTYC but I think it wasn't quite there

3rding HM for Ciampa vs Black

So for me that's 2 HMs and a MOTYC. 3/5 must-watch matches still ain't bad for a Takeover imo

MOTYC: 01/26 | Ricochet (C) vs. Johnny Gargano for the NXT North American Championship - NXT Takeover Phoenix

Ricochet isn't human, Gargano is almost as great a heel as he is a face, a hot crowd and holy gently caress what a loving match

That could have been on the WK card agreed.

AAA from 1/26 on Twitch

MOTYC: Vikingo, Myzteziz Jr and Murder Clown vs the OGTs

Myzteziz needs a bit of work but what an absolutely bonkers match. Tons of incredible dives including a Murder Clown dive. Vikingo is maybe the best high flyer in the world (I personally like Audaz) and it results in a must see match.

HM: Miedo Extremo and Ciclope vs Joe Lider and Pagano, brutal death match with lots of glass and skewer spots.

6th.

Overall this was the best show of the year that I've seen, top to bottom. Nothing bad, a lot of good. Very easy to watch, only runs about 2 hours.

Well worth dropping your Amazon Prime subscription or even $5 to see.

Vikingo, Myzteziz Jr and Murder Clown vs the OGTs and Miedo Extremo and Ciclope vs Joe Lider and Pagano both are a vote away from getting into their respective categories, if anybody is on the fence.

MOTYC : Johnny Gargano vs. Ricochet
HM: Shayan vs. Bianca BelAir
MOTYC: Ciampa vs. Aleister Black

I already nominated the opening tag match, but wanted to nth these matches as well. Goddamn NXT is so good. It makes me so mad that the WWE can consistently put on this good of shows with their loving "developmental" brand, but the main roster just sucks (despite having the most stacked main roster EVER)

I've been catching up on everything this weekend, and I've seen some fantastic matches, but while this wasn't the best, it was easily my favorite. I'm Nthing the HM.
