[iMoreland]

• Kassius Ohno vs. Velveteen Dream

• Extreme Rules Match: Adam Cole vs. Aleister Black

• NXT Tag Team Championships: The Undisputed Era (c) vs. The Authors of Pain w/ Paul Ellering

• NXT Women's Championship: Ember Moon (c) vs. Shayna Baszler

• NXT Championship: Andrade "Cien" Almas (c) w/ Zelina Vega vs. Johnny Gargano

[Ruzious]

I'm looking for a big day for The Undisputed Era.

[improper]

By the way, what ever happened to that smoking hot chick that was palling around with the Undisputed Era? Seems like they kind of forgot about her.

Black v Cole and Gargano v Almas are going to be fantastic. Can't wait for next weekend. Although I do expect some kind of alt finish in Black v Cole, like a new member joining CFO which will cost Black the match & his undefeated streak.

I think that match will actually have a clean finish because I think that Ciampa is going to come back and cost Gargano the title at the end of the show. Then again, maybe Gargano wins and Ciampa returns and destroys him again after the match. Either way works.

But I doubt they have two finishes like that on one show.

I recently read that Ciampa hasn't been cleared yet and they don't expect him to be until March. But yeah, if he is ready to go then I fully expect him to cost Gargano the match and a clean finish for Black v Cole.

He can cost Gargano the match without being cleared. Hell, he could probably beat Gargano down after the match without being cleared if it's just like chair shots or something. I'd expect them to build up to Gargano/Ciampa at the 'Mania Takeover. The question is whether or not it will be for the title.

• Killian Dain w/ Sanity vs. Lars Sullivan (sorry Damo)

• Extreme Rules Match: Adam Cole vs. Aleister Black (Cole is going to cheat his way out of this one cause its Adam Cole)

• NXT Tag Team Championships Steel Cage Match: The Undisputed Era (c) vs. The Authors of Pain w/ Paul Ellering

• NXT Women's Championship: Ember Moon (c) vs. Shayna Baszler (I think Sane takes the belt off of her)

• NXT Championship: Andrade "Cien" Almas (c) w/ Zelina Vega vs. Johnny Gargano (this i think is 50-50, i could see them either having Gargano winning and Ciampa returning and messing him up, or Ciampa costs Johnny the title and they have a match at the mania takeover.

where on earth is Strong? BIt harsh not to have him on here.

Maybe Strong helps Cole and joins CFO?

that's my hope. Always was a much better heel than face.

[Stanford]

Dream is going to be the goat

[improper]

That Dream/Ohno match was a little sloppy toward the end but a lot of fun otherwise.

[Stanford]

They needed to put more emphasis on the idea that the arm bar wasn't fully applied. It looked silly if she's in the move for two straight minutes.

That said, I thought the match was really good. Ember has had a very solid run as champ. She's a bit underwhelming as the face of the division, but she always delivers.

[Stanford]

We have a MOTY candidate.

[detroitKG]

That match was just....love both Cole and Black...Cole is a mad man with some of those spots!!!

Oh and E C 3!!!!!!

[WRau1]

Aleister f****** Black.

[Stanford]

Lol Derrick Bateman

[WRau1]

I never realized how much EC3 looks like Cena.

[WRau1]

What a great main event so far.

[detroitKG]

this is UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
