Minor league doesn’t mean weaker. I don’t think it’s any secret that NXT is one of the hottest wrestling promotions in the last several years. They know how to put things together to turn it into one of the most exciting television shows you’ll ever see. One of the things they do best is highlight reel moments, normally from the end of the matches. That sounds like a flashback to me.

You’ve probably seen these before. Check out some of the best highlight reel moments of the NXT year:

Most insane maneuvers of 2018: NXT Top 5, Dec. 30, 2018

WWE has released a new video on their YouTube page showcasing the Top 5 Most Insane NXT Maneuvers Of 2018. Several of these maneuvers finished a match but there are some that took place in the middle, meaning they might not have even been the biggest spot of the match. There is a mixture of maneuvers from both the regular NXT TV show and the Takeover specials.

Opinion: This is exactly where NXT shines. They set up these big matches and feuds and give you not only great blowoff matches, but the kind of moments that make you want to come back and see more later on. These are the kind of highlight reel spots that make you either jump off your couch or cringe just a bit, both of which are the reactions that NXT tends to go for.

Which of these was your favorite? What else could make the list? Let us know in the comments below.
