1. WALTER Vs. Ilja Dragunov – NXT UK Championship (NXT Takeover 36)

#1 spot belongs to WALTER Vs. Dragunov II at NXT Takeover 36. Once again we are back to NXT in this list and their incredible 36th TakeOver event, the NXT UK brand was given the spotlight that it truly deserves in the form of this brutal slugfest. Their previous encounter in 2020 came very close to becoming widely recognised as the Match of the Year, so expectations were incredibly high for this return contest and it was above every expectations.

NXT UK fans have struggled to see a successor to WALTER’s record-breaking title reign outside of Ilja Dragunov. His brutal, bruising match against WALTER last year gave many the hope that Dragunov would eventually fight his way back into the title picture, and that’s exactly what he did in 2021. The result was telegraphed pretty well with some fun, long-term booking in the form of Ilja’s growing resilience in singles matches and WALTER’s susceptibility to chops to the back of his head.

We know that we missed several classics from 2021 but y’all know that you can’t cover all the best matches in a Top 10 list. Do you agree with our list? If yes, please share this article to your friend circle who loves wrestling and give us a thumbs up.
