Booking NXT TakeOver: New Jersey - 10 Matches That Could Happen
8. Matt Riddle Vs Keith Lee
Some people just want to watch friends fight, and that is sickening. But damn, this would be a great match.
As mentioned, Lee and Riddle have been shown to have a sort of partnership in NXT so far, but that could easily change with a little heel turn.
Lee could be jealous of Riddle receiving more attention than him (Riddle's already had a TakeOver match, despite arriving after Lee did) and turn on The King of Bros, maybe costing him a title match or something like that.
Lee and Riddle have a history of great matches on the indies and could easily replicate this in NXT. Both men are amazing in the ring and have such conflicting styles that a match between the two would tear up any arena, anywhere, any time.
If you wanted to, this could be set up as a #1 Contenders match for the NXT Championship. Equally, it's not a bad idea to just have the two fight in a good ol' fashioned blood feud.
