Was lucky to be at this show. It was at Barclays Center in Brooklyn the day before Summerslam. Takeover was probably better than the WWE shows 9/10 times. And yes, the girl Izzy is a wrestler now. Crazy.

The next match between the two at NXT Respect is a great one to watch as well the first ever womens iron man match

I thought this version of Bayley would have been at the top of the women's division as I saw her as someone who was relatable to young girls everywhere and could have been a merch seller but she was screwed over when she got called up to the main roster. Vince didn't seem to care. She was treated as wussy little girl who did not want to hurt anyone and wouldn't want to use weapons in a no dq match... It was also said he was going to bury Gunther originally, then send him back to NXT and eventually out of the company. Luckily, HHH was given main roster control at that point..

Bryan Sem

I wouldn't go so far as to say I didn't like it. But I would say I liked this match better. But I'm sure there are other factors like actually being familiar with her opponent here.

Sad to hear you didn’t like Mone vs Willow. I thought they had an excellent match.

Wade Kruse

My favorite woman's match of all time also the match that got me to watch NXT regularly

Drew Or Die

I think their rematch at NXT Takeover Respect is even better

The crowd was saying "Sasha's ratchet/No she's not"

Cameron Miles

Great match

I don't know if anyone has already said it but the curtain call at the end was actually because it was meant to be Sasha's last match in NXT, and it was Charlotte and Becky's last NXT show. Sasha actually ended up staying for one more match with Bayley at the next NXT show, where they were the actual main event.

One of my favourite matches ever. Was probably crying the first time I watched it, and I wasn't even following NXT at the time. In fact, this was the first ever NXT show I saw, because I got back into wrestling (like since childhood) on the weekend this event happened, along with the SummerSlam the next night (where Stephen Amell had a match, lol). Definitely was an instant fan of both Bayley and Sasha. Admittedly though, I do occasionally blur this match with another the two had at a different event, which was clearly also great if I'm mixing them up sometimes. Also hearing you ask about the Rose Plant was a cool example of how fast things can change and become the norm, because I stopped watching wrestling between Mania 36 (Covid) and Mania 40. When I came back, I had to learn about the Rose Plant via context clues because I realized she wasn't doing the Bayley to Belly anymore. I prefer how the BtB looks anyway tbh, the Rose Plant has always looked a bit dodgy to me.

womens wrestling was amazing in the 90s in the japan shows. theirs a really good japanese ppv on youtube that had all the stars from then. aja kong, toyatomi, alundra blaze etc

I was a teenager at this point and hadn’t seen any professional wrestling outside of the WWE and honestly didn’t know it existed. I had NO CLUE what women could do in that ring up until the 4 horsewomen came along. They completely changed everything and opened the eyes of everyone involved in mainstream wrestling. These 4 changed the entire landscape because they weren’t gonna settle for being the intermission act. I was mind blown by this match when it happened and it completely destroyed any remaining narratives that women couldn’t wrestle.

Kam

Yeah their moment at the end was due to women's wrestling finally being taken seriously. Their rivalry continued for a bit, they had an ironman match after this which was also awesome. If I remember right, that was the first women's match to actually nation event a WWE PPV. A lot of these matches in this era get emotional due to the context of how shitty the ladies were treated at this time.

Nate Cruz

It defo up there i loved sasha matches with becky aswell they had great matches together

Ryan Evans

The rose plant actually wasn’t a move she used until 2020 when she was a heel

Panthersrule 95

Yh that was the best bayley she was a great likeable face that fans got behind

Ryan Evans

And yh I see what u mean with sasha having more personalty in the bayley match to willow one sasha is lot better heel then face shes alright as a face but as a heel she comes off more natural and is good at being cocky and getting heat I liked her match vs willow I thought was very good but it was her 1st match in a whole year in Japan she injured foot broken it fell from top rope and it was a carrer ending ankle injury and she mentally got through it so to u if sasha vs willow she was a bit sloppy in the match that why she have some ring rust but she get back to her best with more reps and id say bayley is better as a face more natural shes alright as a heel but seems bit geeky to me and it seems to me like she acting to be bad when she ain't it like I dont feel willow be a good heel shes to nice and a great face willow and bayley are very simlier I like to see them have a match

Ryan Evans

And imo the best Women’s match ever 🔥

Phillyman!!

Also the Rose plant wasn’t a thing until 2020 i wanna say. So that why she didn’t use it here.

Phillyman!!

I miss this Sasha banks theme my favorite. 💯🔥

Phillyman!!

a year before this the wwe divas champion would be lucky to even get a 10-15 minute match which was crazy. the 4 horsewoman really changed that. amazing match

Jayshawn Robinson

As for why Charlotte and Becky look so different (well I’m not too sure about Charlotte actually) Becky has mentioned that she lost a lot of weight after she had her and Seth’s daughter. You can see back then she definitely had more muscle. It’s also been nearly a decade tbf.

Hey mate what do u watch the matches on a TV or laptop and what device do u use

Ryan Evans

Glad its this match….Hugger Bayler>>>>>better than any version of bayley and I will stand by that!

Optilliam

I have the same Balor shirt. I think I got it in like 2016 right after he won the NXT Championship

Wilson Simons

This is one of wwe greatest ever matches in my opinion brilliant match

Ryan Evans

Honestly when i first saw this match i thought it was just gonna be a quick 5 minute boring Divas match. Cause that was the first time i ever looked at NXT but when that match ended it shook me it just blew me away. Because at that time the woman was treated poorly still in wwe
