Again I think the Takeover Respect finish was great but I had seen a finish like that earlier this year so it definitely dulled some of the impact for me personally. Still loved that match. The finish to the Bayley/Sasha Takeover Brooklyn match has been burned into my skull at this point. After that reverse rana happens the crowd goes nuts, Bayley then tears off her bracelet and throws it away as if to say "FUCK FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS! I'M ENDING THIS!" So she ends it, with the combined power of her full hugging strength and a Bailey-to-belly that shook the Barclay Center to it's foundation, she pulls Sasha off her feet into the air and slams her to the canvas. And finally the pin, where she desperately hooks both of Sasha's legs with everything she has left for the 3 count. Amazing incredible moment that WWE just doesn't know how to make anymore.
And if we're comparing it to the Rumble triple threat, I'll say this about the finish sequence to that match. Brock sells for a long time, then he no sells and throws a dude, then he no sells and throws a dude, then he no sells throws a dude 1,2,3. I get that the crowd was hot for it but I'm still of the mind that that match was over produced as fuck. Marks be markin'.
