Dolfan in NYC Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Spoilered until everything airs: For the NXT Championship: Andrade 'Cien' Almas (c) vs. Johnny Gargano For the NXT Women's Championship: Ember Moon (c) vs. Shayna Baszler For the NXT Tag Team Championship: The Undisputed Era (c) vs. Authors of Pain Extreme Rules Match: Adam Cole (baby) vs. Aleister Black --- I'd say it's a lock that Ciampa comes back and costs Gargano the match, even if he's not ready yet. I also doubt Black, Moon, or Undisputed are losing. Though I will say, Cole/Black should be the proverbial bees knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Spoiler What if Ciampa comes back to KO Gargano after he wins the title to build to Ciampa vs Gargano for the title in Chicago? That would be some epic storytelling. The above is regarding the title match and something you predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By having Ciampa cost him the title and having Black win, you go straight to New Orleans with: Ciampa/Gargano for the #1 Contender and Almas/Black for the title.

JonnyLaw Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Spoiler What if Ciampa actually costs Almas the title, then lords it over Gargano that he can’t win a title without him. Of course, he also attacks him after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he also attacks him after the match. This makes a lot more sense to me. While I think Undisputed retains, I think they lose the actual match due to Sanity interference because otherwise there is no realistic reason AoP shouldn't turn them into paste. Moon retaining seems like the obvious choice, but I kind of see Shayna winning and then beating her again in Chicago. Ember is ready for the main roster, and its hard to imagine them having one of the horsewomen go down this quick. I can see Shayna getting a run with the belt torturing everyone for 3-5 months until someone, maybe Kairi or Cross, finally beats her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 As of last night they announced the matches that were in the spoiler tags so I think we are okay to discuss without putting things in them anymore. I'm particularly looking forward to Black/Cole. It being in Philly if they want to do it right they'll need to steal the show, but I feel they have it in them to do that. As for Moon/Shayna I feel it's way too soon for Ember to lose the title. But I'm having a hard thinking of a way for Baszler to lose that doesn't kill her momentum dead. And DQ/countout won't cut it in this instance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way out seems like a DQing Baszler for kicking too much ass but that might hurt Moon when she needs prove herself. Or maybe they'll give Shayna the title as part of the build for a Four Horsewomen match at Mania. Really tough to call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 NXT seems to book matches where neither party should be losing quite often. Ember is a pretender and needs to prove the doubters wrong but Baszler should absolutely destroy anybody and everybody at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodzillaPerez Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Now all I want is for Roddy to start doing Bob Holly's "Super Heavyweight" gimmick where he challenges monsters, carries a scale around and insists he's 400 lbs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Philly's not far from me and I'm down for getting a quality cheesesteak. I'll just need to see if it's financially feasible for me, but if it is then I'll go. Looks like an awesome show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think this is the most important match in Cole WWE/NXT career. While he has been great as a character to me he hasn't been that impressive in the ring. At least not that you believe he should be the main eventer that he was promoted as. His best in ring match may have been that house show match against McIntyre with HBK as the ref and there was some smoke and mirrors in that match with all the interference. He has had some really good Extreme Rules/no DQ match in Ring of Honor so this should be no exception tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
