Sasha vs. Becky, easily. Best women's match in the history of WWE IMO.
This is how I would rank the women's matches from the live specials:
Becky vs. Sasha > Charlotte vs. Sasha > Paige vs. Emma > Fatal 4-Way > Charlotte vs. Bayley > Nattie vs. Charlotte.
Absolutely loved Sasha vs. Becky. But all of those above matches were great in their own right, though I still don't understand the mega-hype around Nattie v Charlotte, it was a good one, but pales in comparison to the others.
After re-watching both matches I think Sasha and Becky from start to finish is a better overall match, the fatal 4 way was a fun spot fest though.
It's funny to watch all of the Women's matches on these NXT specials because they've gradually gotten as good or better than men matches. Funny enough, I was watching Paige vs. Emma match at Arrival last night and the match at the time felt so progressive, but looking at it now it's pretty below average compared to the matches that came after it. The bar for great matches has gotten so high for women in NXT, that I now view Paige and Emma as just average in the ring compared to the four horsewomen of NXT.
Becky v Lynch singles, for me. It was a better story and build filled with emotion, I don't like Bailey, and I think it's harder to impress in singles than a 4 way.
Becky vs Sasha by a mile. It's comfortably one of the best women's matches ever, and on an overall scale, possibly one of the matches of the year. I think Sasha's getting to the stage where she could get a good match out of anyone, so when you put another excellent worker like Becky with her, you're gonna get an awesome match.
I voted for the 4-way because I<3 Bayley but in hindsight, I probably should have voted for Sasha vs Becky. I just kind of hate Becky's character, so that might have brought it down for me
Sasha Vs. Becky. Actually the four way was probably my least favorite of the Womens' Title matches from thee Takeover specials.
It was a really good match, but I have always preferred singles matches to multi-participant bouts. You get a lot of action out of Triple Threats & Four Corners matches, but I also feel like it is easier to tell a focused story with just two participants (or two teams in tag matches).
The Four Way was a really good action packed match, but Sasha Vs. Becky was a more exciting, back and forth, believable athletic contest.
It's so rare for me to see shit in WWE that I've never seen before, and make me think "oh shit, that looked like it hurt" I saw that in the Lynch/Banks match more times than I've seen in a good 10 years.
