I think it was pretty handily the tag match, but great show all around.

NXT just doesn't mess up big time Tag Team Championship matches. They came through with flying colors once again.
Joe/Nakamura a close second.

The Revival have made Tag Team Wrestling the must see part of the show again
They better not change a damn thing about them when they head to the main roster, they GET IT, they could teach about every Heel Team on the Main Roster how to work a damn match...

Gotta go with the main event. I really didn't think they'd give it to Shinsuke so early.

I totally DESPISED The Revival in that match. Any time Gargano/Ciampa were close to putting them away there was one of the Revival guys looming near ringside using their cheap tricks to break up the count and it royally pissed me off. I was such a mark and totally worked into legitimately hating them.

Tag title match easily for me.

The tag team title match had so many ups and downs, and the most uncertain result. It was the one that had me on the edge of my seat the most. Nakamura/Joe had the happy ending, but the tag title match was the match of the night.

Easily the tag team title match.
I admire the work of the Revival and credit Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa for bringing it too.. Very few matches in WWE leave me feeling legitimately unsure about the result.
Great stuff!

Tag Titles, and it wasn't even close.

Really tough for me actually. I do know NXT's future should be built around Gargano and Ciampa.

I love the point Graves made about Dash and Wilder's experience. Even though they are 'WWE made' and not indy darlings they actually spent the same amount of time as Ciampa/Gargano toiling away in the indies but they just never had the recognition because they wrestled in even smaller promotions and arenas and only got to the WWE level by getting lucky during tryouts as opposed to William Regal or HHH directly contacting them

Joe and Nakamura should've been, but they had a lack of storytelling. That's been a pattern with Joe in NXT. He's always impressive and his matches are hard-hitting and exciting, but they don't really tell a story and it never gets to that gear where you're losing your shit.

That's my match of the year right now. Seriously. I haven't enjoyed a match like that since Nakamura/Zayn. It was insanely good. Anyone who didn't like the Revival going into that match should be fans of them after. It was that good. Hope this feud continues for a long time.

Women's title match for me.
It was cool to see angry focused Bayley vs. cocky badass Asuka.

The tag match was awesome and Asuka/Bayley was a close second. I think Joe/Nakamura was a good match that started slow with the mat based stuff. That match felt more like an MMA bout. I liked it but I can see even better matches happening between the two.

For me it was Asuka vs. Bailey without question.

Wow. I liked the tag match but it was a distant third for me.
Asuka vs. Bayley was the tops for me because they wove a beautiful story in violence. Bayley going in talking a big game and getting smacked around, build the question of if Asuka was going to just end her, to her fighting back and showing she had changed from Dallas and taking to Asuka to finally Asuka reaching for a new level of violence that we hadn't seen to put away Bayley and end her NXT career most likely. The false finishes and seeing the reactions from Sasha and Becky in the background, just masterfully done.
Thought Joe/Nakamura was a wonderful hard-hitting affair that had Joe looking like a beast that is just about unheard of in WWE to Nakamura being about to counter and strike enough to put him down.
The tag match was great but left me a little flat. I wanted more and I hope we get it.

Tag match, without question. I'll give Nakamura/Joe 2nd, women 3rd.
The top three matches of every one of these specials deserve it.
Joe and Shinsuke was brutal, it was ugly at times, but that's what makes it special. It doesn't appear choreographed. Just two guys striking each other and leaving it all in the ring. I welcome a rematch.
