NXT Takeover: Toronto Preview
Cedric Alexander vs Kassius Ohno
After Kassius Ohno picked up a huge win over former NXT Champion Hideo Itami on NXT in mid-October, William Regal decided that he would get a number one contendership match. In a battle royal featuring members of the NXT roster that had never won championship gold, Cedric Alexander won, last eliminating Killian Dain. With that, Regal signed off on this match, with the winner challenging for the NXT Championship at the next Takeover event.
Nikki Cross(c) vs Peyton Royce- NXT Women's Championship Match
The Iconic Duo have been targeting the champion over the past few months, attacking Nikki Cross after a successful title defenses against Natalya and Ember Moon. Cross returned the favor, taking out Billie Kay in a backstage attack. Royce wants revenge and the women's championship, and will get an opportunity at both in Toronto.
The Authors of Pain(c) vs The Undisputed Era- NXT Tag Team Championship Match
The NXT Tag Team Champions have continued to be dominant, with Akam and Rezar taking out TM-61 to defend their titles on the championship edition of NXT in October. But they were then on the end of a beatdown of the new group known as the Undisputed Era. Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole, all former Ring of Honor stars, want to control NXT, and step one is capturing the tag team titles.
Neville(c) vs Jack Gallagher- Cruiserweight Championship Match
On the championship edition of NXT, Neville defeated Akira Tozawa to keep his long title reign alive. Next up is fellow countryman Jack Gallagher, who declares that he will bring respect and honor back to the Cruiserweight Championship.
Apollo Crews vs Bobby Roode- NXT Championship Match
Apollo Crews defeated Adam Cole and Hideo Itami to earn his chance to fight for the vacated NXT Championship, but the identity of his opponent was yet to unveiled. On the championship edition of NXT, Crews finally met the man whom he would face in Toronto; the GLORIOUS, Bobby Roode! Roode wants to lead NXT to new heights in the wrestling world, while Crews simply wants to prove he's the best wrestler in the world today. Perhaps the most pivotal part of this title match-up is its location, as Roode was born in Peterborough, under 100 miles outside Toronto. Can Roode become champion in front of his home fans, or will Apollo Crews finally reach the top of the mountain?
