Today marks the 10th anniversary of Sami Zayn and Cesaro’s two out of three falls match in WWE NXT. The Twitter account @OTD_in_WWE shared a video clip from the match, and Zayn responded with the following message:
“At this risk of sounding dramatic or arrogant, this one match changed the industry. This was the day NXT became ‘a thing.’ Hard to explain the significance/context/landscape at that time, but suffice to say it’s one of my proudest matches, with one of my all-time best opponents.”
Here is WWE’s official YouTube video of the match:
