2. Adam Cole (c) Vs. ???

As above, victories for Shayna Baszler and Undisputed Era members Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong can signal success for the black-and-gold brand on a night where the much-sought after "brand supremacy" might actually serve a broader purpose.

Adam Cole, without the pressure of upholding the presence of his brand but with the countless lumps taken from a week's worth of matches, could be in real bother.

Assessing his potential opponents, the odds would appear stretched should the Champion have to defend his title against built newcomer Damien Priest or mammoth destroyer Killian Dain. These are men on islands and inexperienced at this particular level - Pete Dunne is the true threat to the prophecy of gold.

If 'The Bruiserweight' can get by his opponents on Saturday, he could go all the way 24 hours later. NXT potentially won't have a pay-per-view stage to orchestrate a Championship switch until the WrestleMania weekend TakeOver, and may want to deliver the shock in front of a major audience to drive viewers to Wednesday Night.

Or that's simply a dream sequence step too far - it's too soon in reality to take away the trophy that vindicates Cole's very existence, no matter how battered he is by then.

Winner - Adam Cole
