NXT TakeOver WarGames III: 5 potential outcomes to the Triple Threat Match to determine the #1 contender for the NXT Championship at Survivor Series
On the October 16th episode of NXT, Pete Dunne and Damian Priest were set to do battle. Before the match, Dunne had a confrontation with Killian Dain and snapped his fingers. Priest defeated the former NXT UK Champion, and we received a rematch between the two men on November 6th.
In their second match, Dunne took the victory by submission, but Dain attacked both men after the match and stood tall to close the segment. This led to a match being scheduled between Dain and Dunne on the following episode of NXT, but the match never began as Priest attacked Dain from behind and stood tall after taking out both men.
This led to an announcement that a Triple Threat Match between Dunne, Dain, and Priest would take place at NXT TakerOver: WarGames, with the winner receiving an NXT Championship match against champion Adam Cole at Survivor Series, held the following night.
With so much to gain and nothing to lose, all three Superstars will try their best to pick up the win and go into the next night dreaming of gold.
In this article, we will look at the five potential outcomes for the match between the three, and what it could mean for the NXT Champion Adam Cole.
#5 Killian Dain wins
Let’s begin with the most unlikely possibility. Killian Dain moved back to NXT a couple of months ago and managed to get into some interesting singles feuds. Dain had a great rivalry with Matt Riddle and the two big men had some hard-hitting matches, although Dain came up short in the rivalry.
Dain then found himself in a high profile rivalry with Pete Dunne and is now in the run to become the #1 contender for the NXT Championship for an event as big as Survivor Series.
Dain is arguably the least known singles wrestler in this feud, but is one who can dominate any other Superstar on any given day. Keeping that in mind, it’s possible that Dain will come out on top in this match and get a chance to compete for the NXT Championship at Survivor Series. He is the biggest man in the match and could use his size to his advantage.
However, a match between Cole and Dain will not be met with the same positive reaction as a match between Cole and a bigger name at Survivor Series.
