WWE NXT Takeover Brooklyn: 5 Losses That Need To Happen
1. Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens has the potential to steal the show twice this weekend. At SummerSlam, he faces off against Cesaro in a one-on-one bout that's sure to be off the charts good. On the NXT TakeOver show one day prior, he will get the chance to face off against the man who beat him for his NXT Championship in Tokyo, Finn Balor. Even better, this one is a ladder match.
Who Needs To Lose: Kevin Owens
Finn Balor can easily be the face of the NXT brand for the foreseeable future. He's likeable not only because he's a soft-spoken athlete who lets his in-ring work do his talking for him, but his 'demon' persona and over the top entrance is extremely marketable. Since this obligatory rematch with Owens will be a ladder match, this should be an exciting beginning to a noteworthy title reign.
Who Will Likely Lose: Kevin Owens
In spite of the detractors that do exist behind the scenes, Owens has proven himself on the main roster. He's had the best rivalry of the year so far against John Cena and some fans felt like a match against the uber-talented Cesaro was a step down for him. His home is on the bigger stage and can part ways with NXT for now. Plus, the ladder match loss isn't a pin or submission so it won't hurt him.
