#5: Cesaro and Sami Zayn put NXT on the map with a legendary feud
My best Cesaro match in WWE was against Sami Zayn at NXT Arrival. This one hit different for me on all levels. https://t.co/BMZaUzqwL2
Sami Zayn defeated Cesaro on his NXT debut in what was one of the biggest upsets in brand history at the time. This started an almost year-long feud credited with contributing to the growth of the brand's popularity and establishing Zayn as a key player.
The Swiss Superman won a critically acclaimed two-out-of-three-falls match against the Underdog from the Underground, leading to the latter obsessively pursuing a rematch for nearly a year.
The pair finally met again on February 27th, 2014 at NXT Arrival, the first live special for the gold brand and first live event on the WWE Network.
The match was outstanding, proving to be the highlight of a night that launched the brand and the Network. The Swiss superstar's unselfishness in putting Zayn over helped create one of NXT's biggest ever stars.
