11) Tag Team Main Event!
The main event of the night at NXT Takeover: Chicago was the tag team ladder match between DIY and the Authors of Pain.
You read that right, the NXT Tag Team Titles were in the main event over the NXT Title match. Based on the past few NXT Takeover events, it is hard to argue against the Tag Teams earning this spot.

Tag Team Wrestling is alive!
12) Gargano And Ciampa Both Almost Died!
During the match, there was a spot that featured both Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa jumping off ladders onto the Authors of Pain.
It looks like both of them just about missed their landings:

Thankfully it looks like they are both okay! Could have been a lot worse.
