After over two months of competition, we are down to two. Seth Rollins, Cesaro, who will be the new NXT Champion?
Cesaro vs Seth Rollins
Normally, this is where I would discuss each guys run thus far, and take a look at the latest odds. But there's a bigger story here, and that is the health of Seth Rollins. We all saw the despicable acts by Samoa Joe after his defeat, attempting to cripple his fellow competitor. In mere moments, Joe caused major damage, and has been suspended indefinitely by Triple H. But what about Rollins? In an interview with NXT reporter Renee Young two days ago, he stated that he's had some trouble putting weight on the injured leg, with quite a few of the doctors becoming very concerned. Despite that, he told Young that he has been cleared to wrestle the final match, although he will be wearing some extra support to the ring, as well as tape for his ribs, which were injured in the match as well. So, it seems that Seth is going full speed ahead, intending to fight as hard as he can to pay off everything he's gone through with an NXT Championship win. What about Cesaro? He's shown himself to be a bit of a shady competitor in the past, using Sheamus' help to defeat Dolph Ziggler in the first round. If he does choose to exploit the injury, I certainly wouldn't blame him. This is the top championship on the hottest brand in the world, an opportunity to represent NXT around the world, to be a true megastar. I don't think any of us can honestly say we wouldn't do whatever possible to win such a prestigious prize. Regardless, Cesaro is a heavy favorite for the first time all tournament, and you have to wonder just what it would take for Rollins to somehow pull off the win.
Favorite: Cesaro
But the NXT Championship match will not be the only action on the upcoming NXT show, as Triple H has announced two more matches. First, we will see The Revival, the team of Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, as they face the eccentric team of Breezango. Plus, women's competition, as the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair, Charlotte, faces ring veteran Mickie James.
