The NXT Championship will feature Lars Sullivan challenging Aleister Black, Velveteen Dream takes on Ricochet in what's been an amazing feud, and the contracts are signed for Johnny Gargano v. Tommaso Ciampa in a Chicago Street Fight.
In addition to the developments leading towards NXT Takeover: Chicago II, there were a total of four matches this week. As always I will be grading the major segments of the show with A+ being the best grade and F being the worst.
Let's kick things off with the NXT Championship announcement...
Lars Sullivan destroys Aleister Black after announcing he's the #1 contender
Aleister Black started off the show stating how it has been a trip being the NXT Champion. He mentions that there is confusion about who his next challenger is, but whoever it may be, they are one shot away from fading to black.
The Leviathan of NXT, Lars Sullivan, came out to let Black know that there is no longer any confusion. NXT General Manager William Regal named him the #1 contender for NXT Takeover: Chicago.
Sullivan grabbed Black by the throat, but Aleister broke free and tried for the Black Mass; however, Sullivan caught his foot with only one hand and hit the Freak Accident. It was definitely a solid promo to kick off the show.
