NXT TakeOver In Your House: 10 Things That Must Happen

7. Ciampa Shows Some 'Never Say Die' Spirit

That's not to say that Ciampa needs to play 1980s jobber to Kross, or even play second fiddle to him throughout their match at all. In fact, it might be best if Tommaso eats Karrion alive in the opening few minutes, using all that experience he has to outsmart and outrank the big guy.

Speaking of 80s flair, maybe Scarlett should be the different maker by pulling her man from the ring, giving him some advice and coming up with a plan 'B' to take Ciampa down. Why not? WWE habitually forget that managers not-named Paul Heyman can be smart too.

Whatever the case, it's important that Ciampa shows from spirit.

It should take something special from Kross to put him down for the three count, and a splash of 'never say die' attitude from the vet will only help Tommaso maintain some aura himself. One man can win decisively, but there's no need to make Ciampa look weak.
