NXT Takeover specials have been in existence for around five years now. In that time, they quickly established NXT as the hottest brand in wrestling and have gone through all sorts of incredible periods. Even in the 2016 period where NXT seemed to have been in a very different, transitionary and not-so-exciting phase, every single NXT Takeover show exceeded expectations.
Somehow, NXT has always managed to consistently exceed fan expectations, and this has led to many talent becoming superstars on the yellow brand. They were given a platform to showcase their talents to the world, and that’s exactly what happened. NXT Takeovers began a whole new era in WWE, an era of new type of performers coming in and all sorts of names stealing the show.
It was the very platform where the Women’s Revolution in its current form began, and WWE hasn’t looked back since. There have been many stars who have stolen the show at NXT Takeover specials, but these five undoubtedly stand out.
