Here's how I would book the NXT titke picture from now to NXT Takeover: Mania
It would start with an episode of NXT featuring Drew McIntyre, and having him come out looking really annoyed. I would have ReDragon led by Adam Cole come out and destroy Drew McIntyre. Like decimate him. Kayfabe injury sends McIntyre to surgery, and vacates the NXT title. A tournament is announced to crown a new NXT champion, culminating at Takeover: ________ (survivor series). Also slated for the show is ReDragon vs SAnitY for the NXT tag team championships. The finals for the tournament end up being Adam Cole vs Alesiter Black for the NXT title. First off in the night, ReDragon captures the NXT tag team titles from SAnitY. Then for the NXT title, the match ends with ReDragon causing a distraction, and Cole cheating to beat Aleister Black, this Adam Cole becomes NXT champion.
A few episodes of NXT down the line is Adam Cole's coronation which is interrupted by Drew McIntyre. The Scotsman is back and he looks pissed off. He attacks ReDragon and Adam Cole, creating a rematch for the title Drew never lost for next weeks NXT. Adam Cole cheats with the help of ReDragon to put away the Scotsman. The NXT locker room is sick of this new stable's antics, and one man steps up to confront Adam Cole: Johnny Gargano. Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano go face to face for a showdown, and when Johnny is attacked by Cole, members of the locker room come down and fend off The ROH alumni. This leads to a match made for NXT Takeover:_____ (Royal Rumble): Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole for the NXT championship. Once again, Adam Cole wins by a ReDragon distraction, and the ROH alumni stand tall.
Come the next weeks NXT, everybody in the back hates the NXT alumni. They've been demolishing NXT, and not using fair tactics to do it. So Johnny Gargano enlists the help of a returning TM61 to fight the ROH alumni. So the scene is NXT Takeover:_______ (Wrestlemania). TM61 vs ReDragon for the NXT Tag Titles and Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole II for the NXT championship. But there's a catch. NXT General Manager William Regal announces if ReDragon loses their title match, they will be banned from ringside. So Takeover stars and the tag titles are up first. A high paced, high flying match ensues TM61 barely come away with the win, defeating ReDragon and barring them from ringside. Then, later in the night, Cole vs Gargano II takes place. A long, grueling, emotional match takes place, 6+ months of the ROH alumni destroying everyone culminates in this match, with Johnny Gargano finally capturing the NXT title. The celebration is huge, the fans go crazy and the copyright logo comes up, and then Gargano is attacked from behind by a masked man. He beats on Gargano for a while, before he pulls off the mask, and it is....... Tomasso Ciampa!
This then leads to Johnny Gargano vs Tomasso Ciampa at NXT: Takeover Brooklyn, the show where it all started for them. I think it's only fitting for their huge blowout fued to be for the NXT Title, and at Takeover Brooklyn. Let me know what you guys think!

So drew loses his newly one title by Kayfabe injury, only to lose again when he returns in a give away nxt from fullsail title match? Nah, if that were the case Drew would have been better off not evening coming to nxt. I don't mind Cole in the title picture, but Id much rather see Drew carry the title for a while and fued with Cole and somehow incorporate Black into the mix to make it a triple threat eventually. No reason to have Drew be a throw away champ.

What?!?! No way?!?! A fan of Gargano and Ciampa wants to see Johnny Gargano vs Tomasso Ciampa for the NXT Title at a Takeover Show?! I would have never guessed.
But that will NEVER happen. If they had a Network Title (like the old TV Titles) then perhaps. But the NXT Title is gonna circle around Drew, Cole, Strong, and even Ohno for a while before someone like Gargano or Ciampa gets it.

I'm not a fan of two cruiserweights fighting for the heavyweight title. Pass.

Too many title changes. One of the main reasons I like NXT is that the champions have defined, established title reigns that aren't just used to accelerate a story.
Adam Cole and ReDRagon can cause all sorts of trouble without having to win all the championships three months into the new champions' reigns, and Ciampa/Gargano has enough gravitas because of their history for it to not need the title.

This is kinda my issue with NXT. They make it too obvious when the title changes hands. We know it will never happen at a taping, we know reigns last around 6 months to a year, so for me, it just feels dull and predictable. |

There have only been thirteen reigns between eleven champions in five years. That's absolutely spot on if you ask me. As for predictable title changes, I couldn't agree less. Zayn was champion for exactly two months, Joe won his first NXT title at a house show, and I definitely wasn't expecting Nak and Joe to trade the title twice between August and December last year. |

So, let me get this straight...
Drew loses the title he just won to a kayfabe injury, only to return and lose in his "redemption" match. Aleister Black suffers his first NXT loss in a tournament final. Roderick Strong is just tossed on the back burner in favor of Johnny Gargano... and the World Championship match at next year's Brooklyn show is Ciampa vs. Gargano.
No.

Once WWE is ready for Drew to go back up (hopefully sooner than later) I would have him stripped of the NXT title. Maybe he let his emotions get involved and he crosses the line or something. Just do this to protect Drew and to vacate the title. Then Regal announces a 16 man tournament to crown the new NXT champion. We know Triple H loves having tournaments. Some of the UK guys and a few from 205 are involved.
Cole is the heavy favorite for the whole thing. His first round match he wins over Oney Lorcan. Gargano gets a hard fought victory over Eric Young. The second round Cole wins a competitive match over an "injured" Gargano. Cole skips the semi finals with a bye because of a double count out between Ohno & Trent Seven in the previous round. Cole cruises to the finals.
Other side of the brackets has Aleister Black with a tough match in the first round against Killian Dane. Though Dane loses, he hurts Black. Ciampa defeats Jack Gallagher. Second round we get Black vs Ciampa and they beat the hell out of each other. Black barely wins. The semi finals gives us Black vs Almas. Black can barely stand. He's had two very tough matches to get here. After another beat down, Almas makes a mistake and get a Black Mass to the face. Black falls on him for the win.
We cut to the back and we see Cole resting with ReDragon and having a good time watching the matches unfold. He's had a easy night for the most part. Then we see Aleister getting medical attention. His ribs are killing him and he's having issues breathing. Cole walks by and scoffs.
Tournament finals. Cole walks to the ring with the biggest grin on his face. Black limps out with pain on his face and ribs taped. Bell rings. Cole is showboating. Turns around to finally dispatch of Black and become NXT champion. He turns and.... BOOM! Cole eats a Black Mass. Black wins.
I just came up with this on the fly, so it may be flawed.

I think Cole should have a match with Drew at the next takeover event. Cole loses. Drew then feuds with other people until nxt takeover mania. Then Cole beats Drew at takeover mania and Drew gets moved up to WWE again.

I'm not a fan of two cruiserweights fighting for the heavyweight title. Pass. The NXT Title isn't a heavyweight title. Guess it's more Openweight. the mighty 61 are just two boring Australian dudes. As an Australian can easily confirm. Even when I saw Nick ten years ago when he was NWA Australian National Champion any personality he showed seemed to be 80's high school bad guy. He'd go to high five kids in the front row and move his hand at the last second followed by a loud "Ohhh!" and that was about it. On Talk N' Shop he was boring as well. He and Shane were asked how they got signed by NOAH and Shane was his normal self "OH MAN IT WAS WILD! We went here! We went there! They found us and yeah!" while Nick sounding so hyped to be there said "We went to a tryout, they liked us and here we are." Last year when they faced the Authors at TakeOver: Toronto while he was for some reason power slamming them like nothing he showed zero emotion or anything. Shane is just LOOOOOOUUUUUUUD. And acts like every Australian stereotype. |
