So, in my opinion, the best two wrestling shows produced by WWE this year were the first and last NXT Live specials produced by the WWE in Arrival and Takeover: R Evolution respectively. Both of these events were, in their own way, what every great event should be. Their cards were well put together, and the reception for both events was pretty well received despite Arrival being the quintessential Guinea Pig for the entire WWE Network's "Live Broadcast" ordeal.
But which of this two events was the better of the two? Both events, as I stated, were soundly put together and each of them featured some great matches as well as great moments.
For Arrival, you had:
NXT Tag Team Championship - The Ascension vs. Too Cool in an almost 7 minute bout.
NXT Womens Championship - Paige (c) def. Emma to Retain in 13 minutes.
Final Chapter - Sammi Zayn falls short to Cesaro in a 23 minute classic.
NXT Championship - Adrian Neville def. Bo Dallas in a 16 minute ladder match.
For Takeover: R Evolution you had:
Debut of Kevin Owens as he def. CJ Parker in 3 minutes.
Finn Balor & Hideo Itami def. The Ascension in a 11 and a half minute warzone.
Charlotte def. Sasha Banks to retain the NXT Women's Championship
Sammi Zayn def. Adrian Neville to become the new NXT Champion, followed by a Kevin Owens heel turn.
In my opinion, the two shows are almost dead even. But in my opinion, the match between Cesaro and Zayn was so well put together, and just so awesome, that I have to go with NXT Arrival being just a hairline fracture better than the recent event.
