NXT TakeOver Philadelphia: 6 HUGE Predictions You Need To Know
Paging Tommaso Ciampa.
After four weeks of excellent weekly programming set in Atlanta's historic Center Stage Theater, NXT will hit Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center for their latest TakeOver special this Saturday night, and the card looks outstanding.
Johnny Gargano will challenge for Andrade 'Cien' Almas' NXT Championship in the night's main event, having earned this right by winning a contendership tournament in December. Everything is stack against him. He'll have to contend not only with Almas and his cunning manager, Zelina Vega, but there's also the small matter of Tommaso Ciampa. Finally free of injury, the ex-DIY man's spectre looms ominously over the card, making Gargano's night even more daunting.
Elsewhere, we'll get a huge Women's Title match as Ember Moon defends against Shayna Baszler, and the Authors Of Pain will fight for Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish's Tag Team Championships. The card is rounded off by Kassius Ohno vs. Velveteen Dream and an Extreme Rules bout between Adam Cole and Aleister black, both of which come with great potential.
Only a fool would be against TakeOver delivering, and all signs point towards another event on-par with November's excellent WarGames show.
How will it all go down? Let's take a look.
