Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4) NXT Takeover: Philadelphia Preview

The night before the Royal Rumble, NXT takes over the Birthplace of Extreme.






NXT Takeover: Philadelphia Card


War Raiders(c) vs The Ascension- Extreme Rules Match for the NXT Tag Team Championships

After losing their titles in Tokyo, Konnor and Viktor have been on a warpath back to the top, and these two teams have continued to be at each other's throats. This promises to be a chaotic affair, and will kick off the night in style.


Keith Lee vs Matt Riddle

Good friends on the independent scene collide one on one, as Keith Lee faces Matt Riddle. Both men have been dominant since arriving to NXT, and this match was set up after both went to Triple H to demand more competition.


Io Shirai(c) vs Bianca Belair- NXT Women's Championship Match

After taking her first loss in Tokyo, Toni Storm has struggled since, including losing a number one contender's match to Bianca Belair. The EST of NXT now gets her shot at the Genius of the Sky, and Bianca has promised to ground the high-flying champion.


Cedric Alexander(c) vs Mustafa Ali- Cruiserweight Championship Match

With a groundswell of support, it was only a matter of time before Mustafa Ali got his shot, and he gets it in Philly against Cedric Alexander. The Age of Alexander is in full force, with Cedric defeating just about every cruiserweight on the roster. But can Ali's incredible momentum get him to the top?


EC3(c) vs Velveteen Dream- Extreme Rules Match for the NXT Championship

The NXT Champion didn't have long to gloat about retiring Hideo Itami, as on NXT, he and the Dream engaged in a wild brawl that sent both men to the hospital. Triple H promised a big main event for Takeover: Philadelphia and delivered, letting both men let loose of their bloodlust in an Extreme Rules Match. This bitter rivalry reaches a head in the City of Brotherly Love, but who will survive the brutality and walk out NXT Champion?

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...
