NXT TakeOver In Your House: 10 Things That Must Happen

2. The North American Title Match Headlines

A lot of WWE fans were split on the way Money In The Bank's headliner was played for laughs rather than being a serious ladder-based war for both briefcases. MITB was over-the-top and deliberately silly, and that didn't sit well with some. Those same fans consider NXT the last stop for pro wrestling credibility in the promotion.

That's why, come TakeOver: In Your House, it's Keith Lee vs. Johnny Gargano that should main event the show over the NXT Title match. Heresy for those who believe 'World Title' bouts should close, sure (Triple H would frown an almighty frown at this suggestions), but at least the North American Title match is guaranteed to be a serious wrestling occasion.

It'd also be a nice audition for Lee in key main event spots.

WWE don't need to worry about a wet fart reaction from live crowds - there obviously won't be one at the weekend, and so Lee and Gargano are free to build their bout piece-by-piece without worrying about a burned out audience.
